Next Monday 4/20 only. 🌿😮‍💨

We have a special menu!

Cheeseburger gyoza (juicy, crispy, why so good??)
Pizza egg roll (don’t think, just eat two)
Gochujang mac (cheesy, spicy, you not sharing)
Ube brownie (you say “one bite”… then finish the whole thing)

munchie food.
That kind of food where suddenly… everything gets quiet… and just you and a plate.

Bring friends. Or don’t it’s more for you.

See you Monday. Come with open minds …and insatiable hunger

Back to where it started. We heard you.
The thin spring roll wrapper had its moment… but nothing like true Chinese takeout eggroll.
So we brought it back!
Bigger.
Crunchier.
Craggier.
That golden, blistered shell that shatters when you bite into it.
Stuffed with old memories -hot, savory, packed, and good for a dip.
The new eggroll is the old eggroll.
Back in our lives. $6 each.

Note: contains egg in the new wrapper — no longer vegan 🙏

Char siu is one of those smells you never forget. In Cantonese the name means “fork roasted,” because the pork was hung on long forks and cooked over open fire in the old barbecue shops. Traditionally people use pork shoulder, but our kitchen likes pork belly. The fat slowly renders and the glaze caramelizes so the outside gets that sticky char and the inside stays soft and juicy. Sweet, a little smoky, a little savory -simple food, but when it’s done right, it’s something special.

Grateful for years of feeding the neighborhood the beef and broccoli.
