A Taste of Jiangnan,
A Table of Oriental Grace

A table infused with Jiangnan’s poetry, a flavor crafted with Eastern mastery. Here, the elegance of Song Dynasty aesthetics meets the global dining table. From Peking Duck to handcrafted Jiangnan delicacies, time-honored culinary traditions cross the Pacific, bringing warmth and refinement to the heart of NA. 

The Essence of State Banquet,
Captured in Every Dish

Peking Duck

Peking Duck

Selected duck embryos are slow-roasted in traditional hanging ovens. As fat drips into the flames, it releases aromatic smoke—echoing the grandeur of Ming-Qing palace cuisine while embracing the grain-sweetness of American farmlands. Each crackle in the fire is a trans-Pacific culinary dialogue, an enduring invitation to taste China’s warmth.

XIAO LONG BAO

XIAO LONG BAO

Our “three-sink-three-float” rolling method inherits Jiangnan’s classic doughcraft. The cicada-thin wrapper cradles naturally fermented sourdough secrets. From UNESCO showcases to Manhattan diplomatic tables, each pleat reveals Eastern hospitality, folded with precision.

Lychee Kung Pao Shrimp

Lychee Kung Pao Shrimp

Inspired by Tang Dynasty’s famed concubine Yang Guifei’s love for lychee, this dish pairs sweet-acidic lychee with crisp shrimp, Sichuan pepper, cashews, and scallion. East meets West in a vibrant medley—where tangy, sweet, and spicy collide into poetic flavor.
