“They've got plenty of offal treats (duck head, pig ears, etc) and plenty of different spice levels.”
Reviewing during opening week, Roger welcomed the newcomer to the Convoy strip and said he drove over specifically craving stinky tofu, which arrived made to order with a perfect crisp and paired well with the extra-spicy ma-la sauce. He also called out a range of offal options — duck head, pig ears — across multiple spice levels, and said the squid was well marinated.
