  • Tailored Spice Levels and Sauce Bar

    Diners can tailor the heat of their broth with expert staff guidance, further tweaking flavors using the counter sauce bar.

    The spiciness was just right for me and I liked it more when I added “sesame sause” from the sauce station.

Before you head over

Practical tips for ingredient selection, spice levels, and transit access

  • Allow Time for Early Restocking

    If you arrive right as doors open around 11:45am, some ingredient trays and seasonings may still be getting replenished from opening prep. Give the counter staff a few moments or ask directly if you need a specific ingredient restocked.

  • Start at Spice Level 2 or 3

    If you are unsure about the Szechuan spice level, staff recommend choosing level 2 or 3. You can fine-tune the heat and richness at the self-serve sauce station next to the counter by adding extra chili or sesame sauce.

  • Arrive via the Southport Tram Stop

    The restaurant is positioned right beside the Southport Gold Coast Light Rail stop, making it ideal for stepping off the tram for a fast, piping hot meal rather than navigating car parking.
