"A Limehouse kitchen focused on hearty Dongbei fare, anchored by the dramatic yang xiezi (lamb scorpion): a black, marrow-rich broth that’s almost lacquered on the surface and deeply restorative in flavor. The menu also features homestyle tofu, a credible kimchi, and a velouté-textured stew of fatty chicken with pine-needle mushrooms and vermicelli, while a standout, often-overlooked plate of Guo bao rou delivers a genuine Dongbei take on sweet-and-sour—glossy, crunchy pork with a tart fruitiness rather than cloying sweetness—that connects the cuisine to older immigrant culinary histories of the area." - Feroz Gajia
