Description

This three-story Sichuan destination spans public dining areas and private enclaves including the Breeze, Flower, Snow, and Moon spaces, all set within a 1930s-style speakeasy atmosphere. The interior features tasseled lampshades, black embroidered screens with swooping birds, and a second-floor balcony overlooking the main floor, punctuated by a striking giant round window on the third floor. The kitchen serves authentic, spice-forward dishes such as mapo tofu with classic Sichuan numbing spice, tender spicy fish, and kung fu shrimp balanced with heat and crunch.
