A cosy and friendly neighbourhood place just northwest of the Hóngshān Intersection, featuring tasty eastern Chinese dishes and enjoying a tea house feel. Try the Shanghai-style braised meatballs (hóngshāo shīzi tóu; 红烧狮子头) or tiger-skin peppers with braised eggplant (hǔpí làzi shāoqiézi; 虎皮辣子烧茄子). It’s down a side alley.
