This was my first experience with Sichuanese barbecue, and it did not disappoint. This is a tiny, hole-in-the-wall joint with barely enough space inside to walk. They also set up some tables on the pavement outside, which is where we enjoyed our meal. There is an English menu available which is pretty straightforward to understand.
We enjoyed some grilled lamb, smoked duck breast, Taiwanese sausage, ribs, and the whole grilled eggplant. Cumin, chili, garlic, and the delightful smokiness of the grill are the dominant flavors in play here. Good thing they're four of my most coveted flavors! The grilled eggplant arrives practically drowning in garlic, with some scallions and chili thrown in for good measure. Hands down the tastiest eggplant I've ever eaten. All the meat items are juicy and succulent, and cooked juuust the right amount. Pair your meal with a large, cold bottle of Tsingtao, and enjoy.
If you've never enjoyed grilled meat under cover at a table on the pavement while rain pours beside you, well, it's time to change that by coming here. read more
