We had two adults and one child, and ordered grilled lamb chops, boiled fish, hot and sour potato shreds and baby cabbage, which cost 270 with a 20% discount. The grilled lamb chops and boiled fish looked so big at first, and I was really worried that I couldn't finish them, but later I found that there were only a few slices of fish. The baby cabbage tasted okay, but I really don't recommend the others.

The taste is really good, the boss is very honest, and the food is delicious and cheap.
