Sichuan Hot Pot & Asian Cuisine — Restaurant in Nashville-Davidson

This place is great! You can find all sorts of authentic Chinese foods, along with americanized ones. The staff speaks Mandarin Chinese too. The hot pot is great and reminded me of being back in China. They have a ton of different ingredients to make your own dipping sauces for your hot pot too. A lot of these sauces and foods are hard to find in this region of the United States, so it was great to see and I can't wait to go back. The staff were super friendly too; although, I did surprise them a little bit when I could speak Chinese--but they did spend some time talking to my parents as well, in English, and we all were very happy. The ambiance is really pretty too. The place is very clean and the decorations are very beautiful. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone that wants more of an authentic Chinese dining experience, casual dining, or even for dates or special events. It would be great for all three 👍😁

Also, if you haven't had hot pot before, it was one of my favorite foods when I studied abroad. There are spicy and non-spicy ones and you order what foods to put into your hot pot from a large list of possible things. You get to pick what veggies, noodles, and/or meats you prefer--so you can be as adventurous or as comfort foodie as you like. There's something for everyone.

I usually get the Sichuan hot pot, which is spicy, but there are a lot of different types of broth to choose. It's a very traditional type of Chinese food and is both healthy and fills you up. 🙃

They have a very extensive menu though, so there are other options as well, if you are just looking for some fried rice or noodle...

We dropped by this Asian eatery a little after the lunch rush, so the place wasn’t too crowded but still had a few diners around. Since we weren’t in the mood for hot pot, we went straight to the à la carte menu.

We started with the Sichuan-style cucumber salad. It was simple—just roughly chopped cucumber in a soy-based dressing—but refreshing on a warm day. Next, we tried the chicken wings, which turned out to be a disappointment. They lacked flavor, and despite what seemed like a happy-hour deal, they weren’t even close to decent. Definitely a miss.

For mains, we ordered cumin beef and my all-time favorite, Sichuan-style spicy fried chicken. The chicken came in bite-sized popcorn pieces, deep fried and tossed with garlic, cilantro, dried red chilies, and Sichuan peppercorns. It was bold, spicy, and had that classic numbing kick—irresistible and hard to stop eating. The cumin beef was also flavorful and satisfying, served with rice that we shared.

We had hoped to try a lobster dish, but unfortunately, they were out that day.

Overall, I’d say the place is decent—not the best Chinese food I’ve had, but far from bad. Some dishes (like the fried chicken and beef) stood out, while others (like the...

Ordered the "fish fillet in spicy soup" for my Chinese wife who is under the weather. This seems to refer to a traditional dish in china that I've enjoyed with my Chinese in-laws very often (shuizhuyu) which is fall apart in your chopsticks fish fillets in a hot, sometimes literally red soup that totally clears your sinuses! But I received a spicy fried and breaded fish dish, with no soup at all. At first I thought maybe they Americanized it or the name didn't mean what I thought, but then again you'll see that "fish fillet in spicy soup" is in the SOUP part of their menu so I feel pretty cheated. For over twenty bucks for the single item, I'd have hoped to get what I expected...

On top of that the hot and sour soup is not spicy at all like it should be, but literally just warm and sour, with some pickled vegetables inside rather than what it typically means elsewhere. Strike two.

Having said all that, the fried fish was ok, it wasn't terrible but definitely not what we wanted, and the environment inside was nice, though I...
