Lao Chuan Ban

In 1979, the branch office of Sichuan provincial government opened this restaurant to serve comfort food from back home to homesick officials. Since opening its doors to the public in 1995, it has been a popular spot among locals. In the cosy space, motifs of Beijing hutongs are combined with Sichuan cultural symbols. All-time classics include mouth-watering chicken with springy skin and velvety meat in a fiery spicy peanut and sesame sauce.
