Sea cucumber lovers, listen up! You don’t want to miss this spot in NYC 🍽️
Tucked inside a creative Chinese restaurant in Manhattan is a hidden gem that requires advance booking — Wild South American Sea Cucumber 🫶
Chef Huang, a Shandong cuisine champion, is so meticulous that he insists on soaking the sea cucumbers for four whole days. He absolutely refuses to cut corners ⏳
The result? A rich, soy-braised sea cucumber where the thick sauce perfectly coats every bite. It‘s incredibly springy and tender, with the aroma of scallions hitting your senses immediately 😋
It’s served over a silky, pudding-like steamed egg. The ultimate umami of land and sea bursts in your mouth—pure comfort in every bite ✨
With its moody dark green walls and warm pendant lighting, the private dining rooms offer a beautiful sense of ceremony. It‘s the perfect place to sit back and slowly enjoy this sea cucumber feast 🍽️

A bowl of gently braised sea cucumber,
carrying the deep, ocean-fresh essence in every bite.
Tender, silky, and richly nourishing - its subtle sweetness and natural softness unfold the moment it touches your tongue.
Pure, clean comfort that warms you from the inside out.💙

Golden and beautifully layered on the outside, unbelievably tender within. ✨
As the knife glides through the flaky pastry, the buttery crust, and juicy beef release a rich texture. Every layer works in harmony - savory, buttery, and deeply satisfying.
Cut into a piece, let the pastry crackle, the duxelles melt, and the beef shine - one bite, and it’s a symphony of textures and flavors.
That warm, comforting richness isn’t just a taste - it’s a celebration on a plate.
A true classic, crafted with care, right here in New York. ❤️

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside - every bite is full of aroma. ✨
The moment the knife slices through, the crackling duck skin and juicy meat release an irresistible fragrance. Paired with our signature sauce, the sweet-savory balance hits just right, with layers of flavor that grow richer as you chew.
Wrap it in a thin pancake, add cucumber and scallions for a refreshing crunch - one bite, and it’s a trio of crisp, tender, and fragrant perfection.
That familiar roasted aroma isn’t just a flavor - it’s the warmth of home.
Authentic Beijing taste, right here in New York. 💛
