Description

Some of the best Fujianese fish balls in the city can be found at this squeaky clean, spare establishment. There's no menu, and the proprietors don't speak much English, so a friendly charade game of point-and-smile is in order. Indicate that you?d like the fish balls, and a giant bowl of salty broth, scallions, and the bouncy orbs will be ferried to your table. The balls are agreeably mild and spongy, not tough, and harbor a surprise filling of juicy, highly seasoned pork. There's also a warm, sweet porridge, likely made of taro root, garnished with black and white sesame seeds.
