Ashtrays are provided on the tables, which is unusual in today’s society where smoking is separated from other areas.
If you don’t like smoking, you may want to be careful during busy times.

The water glasses are also distinctive.
They are about the size of a beer glass and feature a bird-like pattern. Even small details like these give you a sense of the store’s long history.

During this time, an older man who seemed to be the manager was working alone. He cooked the food in the kitchen and brought it directly to me. This kind of closeness is unique to local Chinese restaurants.
