| - Hooray! Authentic Sichuanese noodle dishes in downtown TO!
It was fun coming here as a non-Chinese person who speaks Mandarin - I overheard someone at the next table say, "look, a foreigner is eating here" (just as you might hear in China). The waitstaff spoke English & Mandarin, and took careful note of my peanut allergy, which I appreciated.
The "Chonqging mixed noodle" - not sure if I'm getting the name precisely right (?? in Chinese) were lovely - nice and spicy, nice broth, just salty enough, nice mix of toppings from preserved vegetables to an egg. Based on my experience eating in China, I can say the flavours were completely authentic.
On a return visit, I tried the dumplings (????), which were not as tasty - the dumplings didn't seem as fresh as they could be and overall the dish was a bit bland. Stick with the Chongqing noodles!
ETA - the decor is very basic, but you're there for the noodles, who cares.
