↗ Recent improvementThe aroma of the meat sauce on the danzai noodles, the herbal chicken soup, and the traditional sweet tofu pudding get praise. Others find the noodles and soup bland and the fried items too oily-smelling, so the flavor is inconsistent.

Only a few comments so far. The ingredient quality of the braised duck egg and meatballs is praised, while the garlic fresh oysters are described as not fresh and fishy. There isn't enough to draw a conclusion yet.
