Summary: A hotspot for Chengdu classics, less spicy.
Chuan Tian Xia is a bustling Sichuan restaurant in the heart of the city, known for its authentic Chengdu dishes with a less fiery approach to spice, allowing the complex flavors to take center stage. The two-level establishment doesn't fuss over luxury, with its simple wooden tables and stools, but it's the attentive staff and the expertly crafted menu that keep the crowds coming. While the cuisine is typically known for its heat, here, they ease up on the chili oil, making dishes like the whole fish with sweet peppers and the vinegary garlic slivered pork shine. And for those who find the spice level still challenging, there's always the soothing watermelon juice and a comforting side of pineapple fried rice to calm the palate.
