As a Sichuan restaurant specializing in new Sichuan cuisine, the Sichuan cuisine produced by Chenxiang can be said to have a light taste in Chongqing. But since its opening in 2012, it is still a well-known Sichuan restaurant in Chongqing, which is rare in Chongqing.
Chenxiang is located in the bustling Jiefangbei area, and avoids the noise of the snack street, and the dining environment is quiet and comfortable. The whole restaurant does not adopt a Chinese-style decoration, but is quite modern, with high floor-to-ceiling windows to show the street scenery next to it, the hall tables and chairs are dominated by long tables, and the black and white sofa seats make diners more comfortable and comfortable when dining. Although the lobby is not very atmospheric, the simple partition of the gauze curtain keeps the dining area from looking cramped and cramped. The private room is separated from the lobby in a different area, and the privacy of the private room is also very good, quiet and not easy to be disturbed by the people in the lobby.
The restaurant mainly promotes new Sichuan cuisine, which actually has the meaning of taking the strengths of each family, which can meet the tastes of diners from all over the world. Ingredients such as chicken, fish, cow, frog, and shrimp all have different cooking styles and flavors, allowing diners to choose according to their tastes. Beef is a common meaty ingredient in Sichuan cuisine, boiled beef, shredded beef with sharp peppers, shredded beef with pickled peppers, stewed beef in a stone pot, etc., which is enough for diners to taste different beef flavors. Even rabbits, frogs, and eels are cooked in a variety of ways.
In addition to the spicy Sichuan cuisine, the dusty light dishes are also good. There are no particularly recommended dishes on the menu, but golden shrimp balls and salmon in secret sauce have become the recommended dishes of many diners. The shrimp balls are coated in salad dressing and dipped in slender shredded potatoes for a crispy texture, but this dish is not yet amazing for seafood lovers. The salmon with secret sauce is selected from the belly of the salmon and cut into long strips, which are thicker than ordinary slices to retain the fresh and sweet taste of the salmon. It is called a secret sauce, which is actually a homemade sauce instead of wasabi, which is a restaurant original, mixed with a variety of commonly used spices, using chili peppers to replace the spicy taste of wasabi, with a slight spicy taste with a sweet aftertaste, and a hint of garlic.
The dusty dishes are not amazing, but the location is convenient, but there is no sense of noise. The menu is rich in dishes, and you don't need to make a reservation in advance like the Guchuan Cuisine Experience Center in the eight provincial capitals, but if you go too late to eat, the dishes will be sold out. However, Chenxiang has certain requirements for dining time, which is divided into lunch and dinner, the lunch market starts at 11:15 a.m., but you need to be seated before 2 p.m., and the dinner market is served from 5:15 p.m., and the dinner market is seated before 9 o'clock and closes at 10 p.m. It's better to go during dinner time.
Chenxiang has a minimum consumption requirement for private room consumption, with a low consumption of 800 for lunch, 1000 for dinner, and 80 for private rooms, but if you exceed a certain consumption amount, you can be exempted from private room fees. In addition, unlike most restaurants in Chongqing that do not charge a table fee, Chenxiang will charge a separate table fee.
