Best Authentic Restaurants in Leather District

We've been here a few times and every time has been an outstanding experience. The ingredients are always of good quality. My favorite broth is their Guizhou Red Suantang. This fermented tomato-based broth has plentiful aromatic Chinese herbs and is a stand-out broth for its tangy and complex flavor that you won't forget! I wish I could bottle it and take it home! I've also tried their black bone chicken broth and classic mala, both are good "old reliables" - the classic mala gets hotter the longer it's been cooking! Each time we've been the service has been attentive without being smothering, all the vegetables are fresh, fresh, fresh! The housemade shrimp paste is wonderful, and the spicy dumplings are some of the best I've had anywhere. I love that you can get a great variety of mushrooms with their platters, their black fungus never disappoints, always big, plump, and succulent! Don't sleep on the fish roe salad balls, they are DELICIOUS, but be careful not to cook them too long or the liquid center becomes molten hot. Highly recommend making reservations, it gets BUSY here and for good reason!

I had the chicken Parmesan and the portion was excellent. Our waiter Emiliano could not have been any more helpful and gracious. I was recommended this restaurant all the way from Florida, we were not disappointed. 👌🏽

Perfect spot that is both cozy and lively. Delicious food with lots of varied options.

Woot! Just what I’m looking for! Great drinks, great vibes. HOORAY!

Picked a place for brunch near the Theatre and on open table. Once again we were not disappointed. I really liked the menu. The food was great and certainly plenty. We will come back again.
