An unpretentious, deep-red Sichuan spot offering powerful, intricately layered thrill-seeker’s comfort food on wipe-down tables.
Ordering Strategy
Focus on the complex Sichuan dishes rather than generic stir-fries; expect plastic bottles for soft drinks and a no-frills service style.
What to order
Gong Bao Prawns
Described as 'on point' with fresh, 'squeaky' seafood and a sauce that perfectly balances acidity and sweetness.
Red-braised Lamb with Bean Curd
A hearty, wintery stew that 'shakes hands with things like scouse' and uses the 'alchemy of seasoning and time' to create a deep, comforting bowl.
Sichuan Mao Roast Duck
A 'quiet showstopper' of bone-in duck in a 'light, chilli-boosted broth' so powerful it 'demands your full attention'.
Sichuan Crispy Pork Strips
Features meat marinated and battered in a 'golden overcoat of echoing crunch' then dipped in a 'fairy-flavour dust' of chilli and Sichuan peppercorns.
