Mao loved to say, "Wei renmin fuwu!" - so here we say the same, "Serve the people!" We aim to accommodate special requests, substitutions, and diets whenever possible. Please ask us. All produce is fresh - all dishes are made to order. Let us know if you wish a dish or meal to be prepared vegetarian, vegan, steamed, sauce on the side, etc...just ask - we're glad to exchange meat for tofu, cashew or peanut - & also chicken or fish stock for vegetable stock in our soups & sauces.
