01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Arriving at the table with an active simmer, the signature braised chicken clay pot set—known as huangmenji mifan—puts tender meat and a deeply infused soy-based sauce front and center. Originating in China's Shandong province, this regional dish carries a comforting depth reminiscent of Japanese home-style simmered dishes, pairing naturally with a bowl of steamed white rice. When ordering, diners can choose between bone-in cuts, favored for the rich flavor around the cartilage, or boneless chicken for easy eating.

Beyond the balance of chicken and rich braising liquid, self-service rice refills are an integral part of the meal. A common approach is to enjoy the chicken pieces as the main dish first, then tip a fresh scoop of rice directly into the remaining savory broth to finish every drop.

Clay-Pot Simmers and Dim Sum

The menu expands beyond chicken to include a variety of other clay-pot meals, such as spare ribs braised with potato and shiitake mushrooms, tender stewed pork trotters, and simmered beef brisket. Lighter cravings are met by clay-pot tofu, seafood congee, and century egg and shredded chicken congee, while dim sum staples like xiaolongbao and boiled dumplings can be ordered as side dishes.

Ticket Orders and Counter Seating

Located on the 2th floor, the dining room operates via a ticket vending machine that accepts cash alongside QR payment methods such as PayPay. Partitioned tables and counter seats make it straightforward to drop in for a quick lunch or an unfussy dinner alone after work.
