About Best Fortune
Sichuan cooking is often reduced to just "spicy", but the tradition recognises seven flavours: sweet, sour, numbing-spicy, spicy, bitter, aromatic and salty. Best Fortune's specialty dishes are built to show off that balance.
The restaurant sits on Alexandra Road, Richmond's famous food street, making it an easy addition to a Richmond food crawl.
