Sketch Restaurant is very popular, so it's best to avoid peak dining hours. The dishes here are reasonably priced, and customers need to use their phones to place orders. The beef cubes are highly popular; the signature old tofu is best served in a spicy broth, great for pairing with rice; durian lovers shouldn't miss the durian roasted chicken and durian intestines; the caramel pudding is served in enamel cups, which is quite interesting.

Independent in the vast tea mountains, the scenery is very beautiful. The Longjing Mountain scenery after the rain is also super beautiful. The landlady is warm and hospitable, and each dish is a seasonal delicacy, fresh and delicious. The chicken pot is very tender, the chicken soup is not salty or greasy, the asparagus is refreshing and tender, and the catfish is fresh and tender. Worth recommending.
