What to order
Sichuan Spicy Fried Chicken
A 10/10 benchmark of the cuisine; reviewers praise the 'honest ratio' of visible, deep-fried chicken pieces to aromatics, noting it avoids the common trap of 'smothering' the meat in a pile of dried chillies.
Sichuan Mala Dry Pot
Described as the 'indisputable winner' of the menu, this dry version of hot pot yields a thicker, more flavorful sauce that provides a 'spicy, tingling, umami punch' across a highly customizable range of ingredients.
Hot and Sour Glass Noodles
Regarded as the 'best starter you could ever get,' this vinegary treat is filled with pickled vegetables and peanuts, hitting 'all the right spots' for those craving authentic Sichuan heat.
Fried French Beans
A standout vegetable dish 'teeming with preserved olives and minced meat' that reviewers claim they 'could eat it any day.'
Pork Trotter Soup
