Sichuan Folk

Top choice in Shanghai


Formerly known as Baguo Buyi, Sichuan Folk is among the most authentic Sichuan food in town, cooked up by the diligent chefs at this famous restaurant at the World Expo site. There's no concessions to the dainty Shanghai palate, so prepare for a spicy firecracker of a meal. It's in a complex opposite the Mercedes-Benz Arena.
