About Cheng Du Street Food
Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, is famous for its street food culture and the numbing heat of Sichuan peppercorns. Cheng Du Street Food recreates that atmosphere with faux brick dividers and street-scene décor.
The kitchen's strength is balance: dishes are spicy, but never punishing, so the flavours of garlic, vinegar, pickles and peppercorns come through.
The Menu
How It Works
Come with a group and order a lot. A fish soup, a spicy chicken dish, mapo tofu and a vegetable make a classic spread.
What to Order
- Garlicky fish soup with pickled mustard greens: salty, spicy and sour, a Sichuan favourite.
- Laziji (spicy fried chicken): extra-numbing and citrusy from red and green Sichuan peppercorns.
- Mapo tofu: silken tofu in a spicy bean sauce.
- Sichuan boiled beef: tender beef in chili broth.
- Stir-fried green beans: crisp, garlicky and addictive.
Dietary Needs
Many dishes are spicy and contain meat or fish; ask about milder and vegetable options.
