Cheng Du Street Food

Dan Dan Noodles

Silky noodles coated in a sesame-and-chili sauce with ground pork and preserved vegetables — the canonical Chengdu street dish, reportedly among the best in Toronto

Spicy Wontons (Red Oil Wontons)

Delicate pork wontons submerged in house-made chili oil and Sichuan peppercorn sauce — a Chengdu staple that showcases the kitchen's balance of heat and fragrance

Mapo Tofu

Silken tofu in a fiery, deeply savory doubanjiang and fermented black bean sauce with enough Sichuan peppercorn to leave your lips buzzing

Cold Sesame Noodles

Room-temperature noodles dressed in toasted sesame paste and chili oil — a refreshing counterpoint to the hotter dishes on the table

Spicy Cold Chicken (Kou Shui Ji)

Poached chicken sliced thin and drenched in a complex chili oil with garlic, ginger, and Sichuan peppercorn — mouthwatering chicken is an understatement

Chongqing Noodles

Thin noodles in a bold, smoky, málà broth — a spicier and oilier cousin to dan dan noodles with a more aggressive punch
