Chuan Wei Chuan China Restaurant — Restaurant in Dusseldorf

First visited in the plague year of 2020, right after things got a tiny bit more relaxed. Been back in August and Sep, 2023 after moving across the Atlantic to the greater Düsseldorf area.

First, on food. The menu is wide, by German Chinese restaurant standards. The dry pots are highly satisfying. The pork belly in fermented tofu sauce was lackluster when my friend and I tried it in September. The green string beans are flatter and broader than the more typical variety used for this dish, the effect is a touch more tenderness and less crunchiness, I quite like it this way.

Second, but to some more importantly, the vibe. On my late August visit for dinner, the place was buzzing with a warm community vibe. There was Mandarin, Sichuan dialect, German and some other European languages flowing around. There were family with baby and business travelers. The sassy looking boss was giving kind reminders to two men who were catching a train later, “ You have xx minutes left before you’d better set out so you don’t miss your train.”

I ended chatting with her, who seems to be the boss, a little. She loves good food and hunting down good restaurants is a big priority in her travels. Haha, it takes passion to run a...

A very good place to have a flavourful and satisfying meal. The restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, but specialises in SiChuan cuisine. For dishes I tried, some are great, but others are just ok. With some experimentations, most people can find dishes they love. I’ve invited my non-Chinese friends to here, and they all liked it. If you’re curious about authentic Chinese food, here offers an opportunity to experience and enjoy it, but please don’t order “fried crispy duck”, which is NOT an authentic Chinese dish. Something to keep in mind: 1. They prefer to receive cash, and sometimes cash is the only option. 2. It’s a Chinese restaurant, so the service is sufficient, but may not be as attentive as western, e.g. Italian, restaurants.

P.S. dishes in the picture are 毛血旺and口水鸡. They are my all time favourite. If you like spicy food and don’t mind eating organ, give them a try and you...

One of the more underrated restaurants in Düsseldorf, especially in the asian scene.

This is by far my favourite chinese restaurant, very authentic. Even my chinese friends from chongqing (where this restaurants dishes are based off) are raving about how good and authentic it is.

I went here several times and ate most of the dishes but by far my favourites are disanxian (the aubergine), cumin potato and tofu egg, lamb skewer, the spicy chicken appetizer and honestly many more.

Lamb skewer however this time were a bit dry.

The service was nice and friendly, and patient with explaining some of the menu.

The place was also nice and clean. Theres even a private dining room.

Really a great restaurant for spicy chinese food. Come here if you crave authentic chinese. The only thing is that the prices are quite...
