Overview
Sichuan cuisine is famous for its heat, but everyone experiences spice differently.
Our Food Journey is built around six spice levels, from gentle, aromatic flavors to the full intensity of chili and Sichuan peppercorn. Choose the level that feels right for you, and discover a carefully balanced selection of dishes designed around spice, flavor, texture, and variety.
Whether you are completely new to Sichuan food or already love bold flavors, there is a level made for you.
*Notice: Due to the food portion sizes, the current group size is limited to 1–3 people. If you have a group of more than 3, please specify the exact number of people in the Special Requests section when submitting the form, and we can create a customized arrangement and provide a quote.
