Jin Hua

Dressed with tropical plants, vintage lampshades and plastic tablecloths, this casual retro spot serves tasty eats from Yunnan. Order crunchy fried lotus roots with Yunnanese pickles, passion-fruit fish soup or Kunming-style minced meat with tomato and pepper. The rice noodle bowls with soup and heaped veggies are awesome. Most dishes come with tropical touches, like palm leaves or floral garnishes.
