A very popular, busy restaurant specializing in river fish — the fish is fresh, swimming until you order, and the dishes are a flavor overdose with mountains of chilies and Sichuan pepper.

- Spicy River Fish (Eel-like)
Catfish in Chili Oil Soup
This catfish is cut into big pieces and swimming in chili oil with Sichuan pepper floating around. It smells of fermented bean sauce. The fish melts in your mouth and is totally saturated with the infusion of that chili oil and Sichuan pepper — it's citrusy, vibrant, a little bit spicy, and so smoky. The sensation goes from your tongue to your mouth to your head instantaneously. The fish is so delicate and soft, which is why it works so well in this soupy chili oil — it just sponges it all up. Both dishes are unbelievable and similar in ingredients but cooked totally different; I couldn't choose a favorite.
Bread for Dipping
The bread here is really crusty on the outside and bubbly on the inside, and you dip it into the sauce. It's something everyone orders here. The sauce tastes tomatoey and chili. The bread is amazing.
Fried Cabbage
Fried cabbage — wonderful crunch to it, freshness, crisp, nice and salty.
Tofu Skin and Sweet Potato Noodles
The tofu skin and sweet potato noodles absorb all that chili oil and flavor. The Sichuan pepper adds not only flavor but a feeling — it takes the meal an extra step of sensory overload.
