    The chashu (roasted pork slices) are also grilled over charcoal, giving them a delicious smoky aroma.
     They are thickly cut and offer a substantial and satisfying bite.
    Additionally, during lunchtime, they serve a menu item called "Buohan" which features rice topped with shredded chashu.
     This dish is also highly recommended as it offers a generous portion and great value.
