From Sichuan heat to Cantonese steaming, hot pot to hand-pulled noodles — the widest Chinese menu in the city, cooked properly.
"Chinese food" is not one cuisine. Our menu draws on the traditions that travel best.
Sichuan brings the numbing-hot dishes — Mapo Tofu, Twice Cooked Pork, Boiled Chicken in chilli oil, Prawn Sichuan Style. Cantonese brings restraint: whole fish steamed with ginger and scallion, greens in oyster sauce, clear soups. Northern cooking gives us the hand-pulled noodles and dumplings.
Then there is the hot pot — 33 items of it — which is less a dish than an evening.
Eight dishes from eight different sections, priced live from our kitchen.
Chinese meals are built for sharing, and the trick is balance rather than volume. A good rule for a table: one dish per person plus one, chosen so the textures and intensities differ.
Aim for one braised or saucy dish, one dry-fried, one steamed or clear, and one vegetable. Add rice to soak up sauces, and a soup if the table is four or more. Order a whole fish if you want a centrepiece.
If a table is six or more, hot pot is usually the better call — everyone cooks at their own pace and the meal lasts.
Large tables served together, with dishes pre-ordered so nobody waits. Common for groups arriving into Pokhara from Kathmandu.
Team dinners, meetings, farewell and welcome parties. We will set a private-feeling area and plan a set order.
Birthdays and anniversaries — round tables suit a group that wants to talk across the meal rather than down a long bench.
Lions Club, Rotary, youth and student groups, Aama Samuha and party functions are all regulars.
Three well-chosen dishes and rice makes a full dinner for two, usually around Rs. 2,000.
We are on Lakeside Road, so we sit naturally at the start of a night out in Pokhara — kitchen open until 10pm.
228 dishes across 24 sections. Twelve chicken, fifteen pork, thirteen seafood and fish, six buff, four mutton, four duck, 29 vegetable mains, 19 vegetable snacks, 19 non-vegetarian snacks, plus rice and noodles, eleven soups, a 33-item hot pot menu and a full drinks list.
A good table of four: one chicken dish (Chicken with Cashew Nuts), one pork (Twice Cooked Pork), one vegetable (Braised Eggplant or Mapo Tofu), plus rice and a soup to share. If you want one showpiece, make it a whole steamed fish.
Four bases — Chicken Hotpot in big or small, Chilly Sauce Hotpot, and Beer Duck Hotpot — then you build the table from 27 add-ins: sliced chicken, pork, buff and mutton, meatballs, prawn, squid, fish, tofu, mushrooms, lotus root, cabbage, noodles and dumplings. Garlic or peanut dipping sauce per person.
Yes — 48 dishes in total. The vegetable section alone runs to 29 items, from Mapo Tofu and Braised Eggplant to Dry-Fried Green Beans, Broccoli in Oyster Sauce and Water Spinach with garlic.
We do, and we are careful about it. Thirteen seafood and fish dishes including whole steamed fish, prawns done four ways, and squid. Stock is bought in to order rather than held, which is why some items are seasonal.
