Signature Dishes 

Fresh, authentic and natural are synonymous with the restaurant’s offerings. 

The restaurant specializes stone-ground Steamed Rice Noodle made with ancient techniques. Every detail of the preparation process strictly follows traditional techniques and rules, without the slightest sloppiness or slackness. Every morning, employees from the restaurant spend one hour grinding the rice milk, and the ratio of water to rice is determined after countless experiments to get the perfect mixture. Pure natural and additive-free rice paste undergoes procedures like pouring, steaming and seasoning by the skilled chef, resulting in the skin as clear as jade and as thin as a cicada wing. The smooth texture and overflowing rice fragrance means it perfectly reproduces the essence of Cantonese Steamed Rice Noodle Rolls celebrated for being slippery, tender, refreshing, fresh. After they are combined with the freshly purchased beef, pork liver, shrimp and other high-quality ingredients, the different flavors of the freshness of each ingredient blend together to satisfy your mouth, tongue and even the whole body. 

Apart from the mainstay of Steamed Rice Noodle, a series of classic snacks from Southern China, such as Rice Stone Pot, Nanning Noodle, Longjiang Braised Pork Trotter Rice and Congee are all prepared by the restaurant after purchasing the freshest ingredients. The self-made offerings also include home-cured and sun-dried bacon, Braised Pork Hocks, and freshly ground rice noodles, each flavor revealing the essence of traditional Chinese cuisine and the sincerity of handmade craftsmanship.

It Takes Heart to Achieve Good Results 

Ms. Lee, the owner of the restaurant, has always held the belief that only good things can be done with the heart. She keeps herself away from impatience and quick success. Instead, she has been moving forward step by step. This attitude is not only reflected in her careful selection of ingredients, the quality of the dishes, but also throughout the service process. What customers can feel is not only the flavor of the food, but also the sincerity and passion from the bottom of their hearts. Finding and sticking to her own characteristics, and always proving herself with strength and attitude, I believe that this is the secret of how Ms. Lee and her restaurant have been able to gain a foothold and even make a name in the highly competitive Seattle!
