Taode focuses on homestyle Sichuan dishes designed to accompany rice. We recommend these dishes and branches; percentages come from our collected recommendation list, not an independent survey.
Recommended dishes and their listed percentages
- Garlic prawns with vermicelli
- Large, springy prawns with garlic and well-seasoned vermicelli. The collected recommendation list gives it 49%; that figure is not an independent vote.
- Pork intestine with green peas
- Soft pork intestine and starchy green peas with rice; we find it rich after a few mouthfuls. The collected recommendation list gives it 35%; that figure is not an independent vote.
- Handmade mushroom buns
- Soft, slightly chewy buns with a generous mushroom filling and a rich finish. The collected recommendation list gives them 27%; that figure is not an independent vote.
- Pea shoots in bean soup
- Tender pea shoots cut through richer dishes, while the soup has a pronounced bean aroma. The collected recommendation list gives it 17%; that figure is not an independent vote.
- Crucian carp dumplings
- A light, savoury fish broth, though we find the dumplings unremarkable. The collected recommendation list gives them 10%; that figure is not an independent vote.
Branches and queueing
- Three useful branches
- The MixC branch has distinctive decor for a group meal or date, though queues are also common. Chunxi Road is convenient but very busy at mealtimes; Jianshe Road places the meal among other local snack shops.
- Check the queue before travelling
- We recommend checking the online queue around 17:00 and travelling when roughly a dozen tables remain. Confirm availability and missed-number rules with the branch.
- Order promptly
- Order by QR after sitting down; freshly cooked dishes take time. Place the main order first, then consider extras.
Price and flavour
- Homestyle, not necessarily mild
- For reference, CNY 60–80 per person. These are homestyle Sichuan dishes, not automatically mild; explicitly request no chilli or mild seasoning when ordering.
- Off-peak alternative
- Avoid 11:30–13:00 and 17:30–19:00 where possible; we recommend around 14:00 or 20:00. Bring a small snack if a wait is likely, or choose another time.
