AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers rave about the impossibly juicy, smoky pork meatballs with chili sauce, calling them the star of the menu. The overall vibe is pure, unpretentious street-food bliss that feels both nostalgic and thrilling.
“The meatballs are spongy and the sauce is sweet, nutty, very salty, with a kick of spice. The dried chilies add an acidic dried tomato flavor and heat that builds as you chew. The pork tendon meatballs have a chewy, cartilagey texture. The sauce is so addictive you'll eat more skewers than you planned. Without the whole dried chilies, it's not very spicy — about a 3 out of 10 on the spice meter.”
