💡 Tips before you go
- Order extra chili oil at the table to customize the spice level on your dishes.
- Ask for 'huajiao you' (chili oil) on the side if you want to control how much heat enters your meal.
- Save room for the sweet and sour fish, which is a local favorite that balances the intense numbing peppercorns.
