Xiao Wei Sichuan Restaurant

Taipei


With decor last updated during the martial law period and no-nonsense service, Xiao Wei has some of the best Sichuan food in the city, albeit a less fiery than normal. Try the classic kung pao chicken (宮保雞丁, gōngbǎo jīdīng) or shrimp (宮保蝦仁, gōngbǎo xiārén), stir-fried string beans (乾扁四季豆, gānbiǎn sìjìdòu) or spare ribs steamed in lotus leaves (荷葉排骨, héyè páigǔ).
