"A Brooklyn Chinese grocery and food-court hybrid where the sensory rush of market cooking is on full display: cooks fill and cinch dumplings at hyper-speed behind a window, and takeaway roast duck arrives in styrofoam boxes with lacquered, deep-mahogany skin beside plain rice. Seating is cafeteria-style and intimate—strangers squeezed together, forking aside chiles to reach a spicy fish—and bold flavors like numbing Sichuan pepper leave a tingling, mouth‑numbing impression. It reads as a bustling neighborhood hub defined by rapid, skilled handwork and intensely flavored, unpretentious dishes." - Elazar Sontag
