Chuan Wei Chuan China Restaurant

First visited in the plague year of 2020, right after things got a tiny bit more relaxed. Been back in August and Sep, 2023 after moving across the Atlantic to the greater Düsseldorf area.

First, on food. The menu is wide, by German Chinese restaurant standards. The dry pots are highly satisfying. The pork belly in fermented tofu sauce was lackluster when my friend and I tried it in September. The green string beans are flatter and broader than the more typical variety used for this dish, the effect is a touch more tenderness and less crunchiness, I quite like it this way.

Second, but to some more importantly, the vibe. On my late August visit for dinner, the place was buzzing with a warm community vibe. There was Mandarin, Sichuan dialect, German and some other European languages flowing around. There were family with baby and business travelers. The sassy looking boss was giving kind reminders to two men who were catching a train later, “ You have xx minutes left before you’d better set out so you don’t miss your train.”

I ended chatting with her, who seems to be the boss, a little. She loves good food and hunting down good restaurants is a big priority in her travels. Haha, it takes passion to run a good restaurant.

Great food with good prices. Generous portions and friendly service. I love Sichuan food and this lives up to it :)

Very authentic Sichuan food
Nice small cozy environment
Good owner always smiling
Tasty food especially the new special menu is really good

A very good place to have a flavourful and satisfying meal.
The restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, but specialises in SiChuan cuisine. For dishes I tried, some are great, but others are just ok. With some experimentations, most people can find dishes they love.
I’ve invited my non-Chinese friends to here, and they all liked it. If you’re curious about authentic Chinese food, here offers an opportunity to experience and enjoy it, but please don’t order “fried crispy duck”, which is NOT an authentic Chinese dish.
Something to keep in mind: 1. They prefer to receive cash, and sometimes cash is the only option. 2. It’s a Chinese restaurant, so the service is sufficient, but may not be as attentive as western, e.g. Italian, restaurants.

P.S. dishes in the picture are 毛血旺and口水鸡. They are my all time favourite. If you like spicy food and don’t mind eating organ, give them a try and you won’t regret it.

Chuan Wei Chuan is my / our favorite place in Düsseldorf, serving the best/most authentic Sichuan food I’ve tasted outside China so far. I’ve been here very many times, for birthdays with family and friends, or just cause I really wanted to eat great food again. The owner and other staff are very friendly and welcoming, the food is authentic and delicious, what else could anyone want?

My favorite main courses? Fish in chili oil, fried shrimps with cauliflower and other vegetables, fried beans, lamb / beef with cilantro and cumin.

When going there, don’t expect average Chinese cuisine; expect something with taste! My number 1 recommendation, thank you for making us happy so many times!

Fantastic experience. The waitress was super nice. We didn't have to wait for our food that long. Extremely spicy food, so come prepared.

Forgot to take photo but this restaurant has the best SzeChuan taste in Europe, love the pickle and liver/kidney dish. This is a very tradition Chinese restaurant and highly recommend.

Sichuan food in Düsseldorf. For Germany one of the best places to get.

La zhi ji could have a bit more chili, spring noodles were too thick. The fried shrimps were great.

Given that we are in Germany I believe it’s one of the most authentic Chinese places.

Recommend to everyone who like spicy food

Really delicious food, relatively reasonable price. Very friendly staff. Great experience overall!

Delicious Chinese food. Especially spicy ones. They have the cold dishes, warm dishes, noodles and rice dishes. They are busy on weekends and the staff and very friendly.

If you love spicy food and you can take it very hot, you can also request for even spicier version.

This is a dog friendly place for small dogs. Overall we had a great experience.

Perfect Sichuan cuisine.Huge menu.you need a lot of time to order. But everything you order comes fresh. Taste is of original Sichuan and spiciness maintained..not toned down to European taste..Chinese ambience, very clean, very polite and friendly people serving you..

Great Sichuan food: spicy and numbing with a wide selection of hot and cold dishes to share. Order the "normal" stuff like Ma Po tofu but be adventurous and get the pigs ears.

One of the best authentic Chinese restaurants I ate in. For all those people who really wanna try the authentic kitchen instead of the fake western Chinese food - you need to go to that place! It’s amazingly delicious. The service could be quicker tho ^^“

So nice to go to a "real" representation of cooking from several Chinese provinces. Perfect attention to detail and hosting. Warm and welcoming everytime. Don't be scared of the menu; they will happily and enthusiastically guide you through (very well in English) and cater for your tastes.

The food was very delicious and authentic. The service was fast and friendly and the prices were very reasonable. Also the atmosphere of the place was very relaxing and everything was very clean. The have quite a lot of vegan dishes or dishes that can be made vegan.

Incredible food, highest quality, better than you find in China. Everyone is extremely friendly. Highly recommend beef with cilantro and gebratene Fish.
