How to order, step by step
- Find No. 7 Chifeng Street, about 2 minutes from Zhongshan Station Exit 5
- At weekend mealtimes, book online first or arrive early. At quieter times you can usually walk in
- Let staff seat you on a high stool, at a small table or in the tatami area
- Scan the QR code at your seat and order from the menu
- Everything is vegetarian, and outside food and meat are not allowed. Look for the dishes marked vegan if you avoid egg and dairy, and ask about garlic and onion
What to order solo: A vegetarian Japanese curry rice or a bowl of miso udon is a full meal for one. For dessert, the shaved ice named after the shop's address, 赤峰街7號, is made with red oolong tea and white bean paste. Some shaved ice comes with condensed milk. Check the menu for current prices.
Best time to go alone: A weekday afternoon between lunch and dinner. Weekend mealtimes are the busiest.
