    • There's a cave of precious lamb skewers and mantou on Yunnan Lu. Wanna explore? Just look for the Transformer statue and the blue lights.

      And this is the one time where a giant Transformer statue makes sense, because once you walk downstairs into a cave that looks like The Discovery Channel and a lower-budget Ultraviolet did a pop-up in The Shelter, you have officially left the future city. That's the whole concept of 很久以前 ("A Long Time Ago"). You chill in a booth and grill skewers of high-quality lamb from Inner Mongolia, drink beer, shout across the table, listen to trancey EDM / trap, read the cave-writings on the wall, and space out on visuals that look like very good screen-savers. Just like back in the day.

      You will also receive a can of rare air from Inner Mongolia. You may take your can home. Enjoy it.

      Even without all of this beauty, the place would still warrant a return. The lamb skewers are so fresh that they come with no seasoning by default (you can dip them in spices). The vegetable dishes and scallops all have layers and layers of flavor. The draft beer is… flat. Get the bottled beer. They have a decent selection.

      Modern humans are well aware of this place's quality. This branch of "A Long Time Ago" has almost 12,000 reviews on Dianping with a 4.5 star average. At midnight on a recent Tuesday, the place was packed. When a table of party-people started smoking, the LCD screens switched from images of baby lambs to a skull made of smoke, and an announcement over the speakers cut through the dozens of conversations, clinking glasses, and rolling dice. "Smoking is bad for everyone's health. Please go outside and smoke." The guilty parties walked out looking ashamed just as we realized our waitress forgot our dessert for the second time.

      Just like back in the day.
