MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View

Since 1985, this restaurant has been serving food truly fit for a king, as the Li family’s ancestors were indeed at one point the rulers of the Qing dynasty’s kitchen. Now run by the fourth generation, it still prides itself on replicating those imperial recipes faithfully. Only set menus are available and pricier ones need to be pre-ordered. Braised ‘tiger skin’ pork trotter is a notable highlight – try the soup first, then dip your meat in the soy sauce, and eat with a bowl of rice.
