Word on the street
What locals are saying
Chef Shuai Wang's Chinatown-meets-Southern-smoke concept earned a Bon Appétit Best New Restaurants 2024 nod and a spot on Robert Moss's Top 50 BBQ Joints in the South — serious credentials for a strip on Carver Avenue that looks unremarkable from the outside. The five-spice chicken and wood-smoked duck are the standouts, while dan dan noodles, chili crisp corn pudding, and soy-braised collards make the fusion feel genuinely considered rather than grafted on. An ornate bar slings what the house calls 'trashy-fancy' cocktails, and a daily Golden Hour keeps the room lively well before the dinner rush.
