The spinach-green facade and the not-so-joyous decor? They’re both just a smokescreen hiding this lair’s authentic Chinese cuisine, which encourages rookies to have faith and their luck will hold with each unmissable dish.

Top tip: show up before 8:30pm to make sure you get a spot. // Rocky Simone
