Apart from the better-than-your-average-fast-food Burgers, Shakes, Flat-Top Dogs and a very tasty veggie ‘Shroom Burger, they have tried to give the Chengdu menu a little Sichuan flavour – with local brewery Wild West providing craft beers. Try the China White, it’s got a subtle lick of Sichuan Pepper, it’s delicious.

The Chengdu store’s local specials are a panda themed shake “BE PANDASTIC!” and well as two types of ice cream, “Give Me the Tea” and “Feeling So BASHI”… But where’s the mala burger at Shake Shack? Or the hot-pot-dog? Give the people what they want!

They do have one savoury local dish, which they have collaborated with Ma Wangzi, a restaurant that recently was awarded a Star when Michelin landed in the city earlier this year. They’re using Ma Wangzi’s “Secret chilli noodles sauce” with their crinkle-cut fries and Chicken Bites. Skip these, and go straight to the burgers.

Despite the heartbreak they didn’t go hard on local flavour – everything we tried at the pre-opening was delicious. The ‘Shroom burger is definitely one of, if not the best veggie burger in the city, and the Barbecue Burger packs a nice bit of heat. There’s only so many burgers 2 people can eat in one sitting, but we’ll be back for the Dark Meat Chicken Burger, and a shake.

Not only a barbershop, but also a place where you can have a drink and hang out with friends.

If you think going to the barbers is just for getting a haircut, then you’re very much mistaken. Come for the haircut, stay for the social! From drinks to video games, Social Club has it all to make you feel right at home.

“A social club for everyone to relax at! This is more than a barbershop – with entertainment equipment such as a ps5, 150 inch screen, Laser projector and a bar, Social Club is a place to really wind down! A barbershop that provides all kinds of services to help men to create a better, healthier individual image, including customized haircut, hair skincare, styling, shaving, skincare, hair tattoo and body tattoo, etc.”

Awarded 1 Green Michelin Star in 2025.

Contemporary Teahouse (part of Upper House Hotel) for spa goers and anyone seeking a light menu of deliciously healthy food and drinks. Inspired by a traditional Chinese apothecary and the healing power of plants, the wood-lined tea room opens into an lush outdoor courtyard.

Experience refined plant-based cuisine and various teas in a serene courtyard of MICHELIN-Starred Mi Xun Teahouse. Situated in Chengdu’s trendy Taikoo Li and within a historical heritage building at No. 7-8 Zhanghuali Lane, the tea house is immersed in an ambience of elegance and tranquility that seems worlds away from the bustling city. Upon stepping into the premises, you would be instantly greeted with the pleasant aromas of fine tea and delectable vegetarian offerings.

What the Michelin Guide says: “Nestled in a quiet hotel next to Daci Temple, this restaurant is an oasis of calm. The courtyard house exudes historical charm, with the open kitchen lending an airy feel. Hand-picked local produce is used to create light, refined and inspired vegetarian dishes, such as vegan mapo tofu with chanterelles. There is also a set menu that supports small local farms near panda habitats, featuring ingredients like Mianyang porcini and Ya’an radish. “
