Amazing food! Had the mushroom claypot rice, which was delicious. Added a tiny bit of soy sauce & a lot of chili oil for more oomph. Turns out, the kitchen is super accommodating that they take allergies & other dietary considerations to account.

E.g. if you want your Dan Dan mien to be vegetarian, they'll remove the pork & add more veggies!

Definitely a must-visit. New menu doesn't disappoint.
