Street food from Chengdu

Our Story

Street food from Chengdu

In the early 20th century Chengdu dismantled its old city walls, and the neighborhoods that grew in their place were laced with narrow pathways — alleys. Out of them came "alley culture": neighbors unwinding after work, talking, eating street food together. At its heart is Sichuan cooking, celebrated for its bold flavors — mala, aromatic, sweet and sour. At Sichuan Alley we recreate that setting with bamboo chairs, rattan cabinets and rustic barn tables. Start with a bowl of rice noodles, and taste the alley for yourself.
