Mapo Tofu exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Mapo Tofu made with real commitment to oyster sauce and technique. The bold and numbing result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

communal sharing at the table is culturally central. The a street stall in Chengdu was exactly right for this kind of eating. Shaoxing rice wine was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
