Description

Despite the gimmicky name and the odd way the menu is arranged to fit the tapas theme, the food here is prepared in the classic Northern Chinese style by chefs who know how to do it right. You'll see those who realize the place is owned by the family who started Tri Village in Irvine gobbling thousand-year-old egg cut in generous quarters-its yolk bluish, the albumen as clear as aspic-atop chilled, silken tofu blocks slathered in a salty brown sauce and garnished with scallions and bonito flakes.

  • 2010 | Best Chinese Restaurant

    Peel back that disingenuous name, and you get what the restaurant is really about: impeccably cooked Northern Chinese fare. A lip-numbing slick of chili oil lubricates the wontons. Noodles and soft, tendon-y beef lurk beneath a dark-as-tea soup redolent of anise for a classic niu rou mien. Thousand-year-old egg with bluish yolks and clear-as-aspic albumen ride silken tofu blocks like a parade float. All that's cooked in the kitchen--a space separated from the dining room only by...
