When I first dined here earlier this year, my impression wasn't great. It was very stuffy indoors, and the sirloin was cut very thin and tough. I wanted to give it another try this time.

▪️Soup base: Original bone soup
▪️Main dish: Low-calorie tender chicken breast $338
▪️Main dish: Premium pork shoulder $338
·Sauces, vegetables, drinks, and desserts are all self-service buffet style.

I wanted something lighter that day, so I didn't order the restaurant's famous soup base (old fire soup, a must-try if you come here). The bone soup was average.

The chicken breast my friend ordered had a normal texture, but I felt it was a bit less than expected, especially after cooking it shrank even more. However, the pork shoulder I chose had a good thickness and tenderness; it wasn't hard to chew and was quite tasty.

I must commend their vegetable selection; there were plenty and very rich, with two large cabinets. The desserts weren’t as good as I imagined after two tries — I had high expectations for the noodle tea flavor but found it lacked intensity. However, their waffles were super delicious!! They were fragrant and tasted freshly baked like cookies~~ combined with ice cream, it was awesome 😆

Overall, I found the second visit to be somewhat better. The environment was quite comfortable and clean, and the prices are reasonable considering the buffet style. I recommend making a reservation, especially on weekends. This is for reference.
