AI Summary

CBD Sichuan and Hunan icon. fiery mala flavours, epic portions, a Peking duck sold 50,000+ times.

Bold, bustling CBD dining room with striking decor (including an oversized lucky cat). casual enough for a quick lunch, lively enough for a big group dinner.

QR-code ordering at every table, a chilli-level spice guide printed on the menu, and a cash payment discount.

Reviewers repeatedly praise the authentic Sichuan and Hunan flavours and genuine mala heat, distinguishing it from anglicised Chinese-Australian menus.

Widely praised for huge, shareable portions at a $20-$40 per-head spend, making it one of the better-value Sichuan spots in the CBD.
