This classic, bustling restaurant is a personal favorite of mine in Chengdu’s popular Yulin neighborhood. I highly recommend this place for its authentic, well-prepared, traditional Sichuan dishes that are both not too oily and very affordable. The restaurant’s atmosphere is a typical Chinese scene as the wait staff hustles about and Chinese men sip on (or throw back) baijiu at circular tables. We always go here as a group, so we can order as wide a selection of our favorite dishes as possible. One dish with a unique twist here is the twice-cooked pork (回锅肉） served with mini pocket pitas on the side. Stuffing the little pitas with the pork, and often with other tasty dishes such as sweet and sour pork (糖醋里脊）, seems somewhat like an unexpected Middle Eastern influence on a Chinese meal, but we love it nonetheless. A spicy salad with wasabi sauce, called the tiger salad (老虎才), is an excellent starter. The Kung Pao chicken is another reliable choice as well (宫包鸡丁）. Try not to be too surprised at the low price of the meal.  Most dishes are between 8-20 RMB and sharing an array of choices with a group should only cost about 10-15 RMB per person.

Directions: The restaurant is just off Renmin Nanlu on Yulin Dongjie. Head west on Yulin Dongjie from Renmin Nanlu and the restaurant is number 18, storefront #16, on the right (north) side. Printing out the name of the restaurant is recommended, because there are a few restaurants before it on the same side of the road.  The turn onto Yulin Dongjie from Renmin Nanlu is just south of Village BBQ across from Carol’s.

This author admittedly despises Western cuisine in China for its lack of authenticity. However, he is glad to report that Grandma’s Kitchen has finally provided him with a place that truly reminds him of home. The first bite of a club sandwich with properly buttered bread immediately transports you to your favorite deli. The restaurant’s ambience is reminscient of a New England seaside cafe with quaint furnishings. Sandwiches are Y15-25 with entrees ranging from Y40-120.

Directions: 73/75 Kehua Beilu. The restaurant is south of the intersection of the first ring road (yihuan, 一环路) and Kehua Beilu.

Due to the location, Sichuan basin is very humid and foggy most of the year. the people have to eat a lot of spicies to drive the humidity away from the body. thus why when everybody talks about Sichuan food, you will think about hot and spicy. such as hot-pot ,Mapo Doufu
