Dishes
The signature spicy chicken is described as very spicy initially, followed by a fragrant and salty taste, with less numbing sensation. The chicken itself is flavorful and the portions are exceptionally large, served on a 40cm diameter plate with an estimated weight of 3-3.5 kg. The dish uses a large quantity of chili peppers and peppercorns. However, the chicken is farm-raised, not free-range.
Service
The staff, including the owner, were friendly and efficient in taking orders and serving the food.
Precautions
- Portions are very large (approx. 3-3.5kg per chicken), recommended for groups of 6 or more.
- For those not accustomed to spicy food, specifically request medium spicy (中辣) as the default is very hot, as they assume patrons from Sichuan can handle high spice levels.
- Be aware that the restaurant reuses cooking oil, which some diners may find concerning for health reasons.
- The chicken is farm-raised; expect meat quality similar to common poultry, not free-range.
- When eating, note that larger pieces are often bones, while smaller pieces tend to be pure meat.
