This restaurat/ bar/ bookshop was recently rated one of the "coolest restaurants in the world" and is one of my favorites in town, even more than it's counter part Bida Manda which is located next door. The soup dumplings, scallion pancakes with bone marrow, and steam buns are top choices. Can not go wrong with any of their beers all brewed in house.
