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.

We booked the Hidden Menu because we wanted to try a little bit of everything. Starting with the milder bites and slowly working our way up made it feel like a challenge, but in the best way. By the end we were sweating, laughing, and very grateful for the rescue kit. Easily one of the most memorable things we did in Chengdu.

I like spicy food, but I wasn’t sure how Sichuan spice would compare. Level 3 turned out to be the sweet spot — definitely spicy, lots of numbing peppercorn, but still enjoyable from start to finish. The variety was great too, not just noodles and hot pot.

We came for the food but ended up learning so much about Chengdu along the way. The small neighborhood places were my favorite, especially the ones we probably would never have found by ourselves. Really relaxed, really local, and very well planned.

I chose Level 1 because I wanted to try local food without going too crazy with the heat. It was such a good balance — lots of flavor, different little stops, and nothing felt rushed. Our guide also explained what we were eating and why each place was special.
