What to order

Safe first

Red Chilli Oil Noodles with Lamb

Broad, ragged-edged ribbons slicked with just enough crimson oil to be 'comfort food for when you’re caught in a winter storm.' Critics praise the 'tongue tingling' Sichuan pepper and 'friable pieces of long braised lamb.'

Hungry

Red Willow Twig Lamb Skewers

Described as 'serious skewer action,' these are 'solid, chunky pieces of still smoking baby sheep' roughed up with cumin, salt, and chilli. They offer 'no subtlety' and are meant for those with a 'robust tolerance to heat.'

Wildcard

Spinach with Peanuts

A 'model Sichuan dish' served cold with a 'refreshing hit of cheek puckering black vinegar.' It is considered a 'must' for its 'cooling qualities' against the more blistering menu items.
