Every Dish Tastes Like Home

Fifteen years ago, a young man from Sichuan arrived in America with nothing but his dreams — and the unforgettable flavors of his hometown.
He carried with him the warmth of Sichuan, the spirit of spice and passion, and a deep desire to share the comfort and love behind every fiery dish.

In his new home, he noticed that many people only knew Sichuan cuisine as “spicy and numbing,” but few understood the heart behind it — the balance of flavors, the patience of preparation, and the joy of sharing a meal.
That’s when he decided to open 168 Szechuan, a place where every dish tells a story and every bite brings you closer to the warmth of Sichuan.

The number 168 means “prosperity all the way” in Chinese — a symbol of good fortune, smooth journeys, and a hopeful life ahead.
It also represents his blessings for family, friends, and everyone who walks through the doors of the restaurant.

At 168 Szechuan, every dish is crafted with heart:
   •    The layers of spice and aroma reflect the richness of Sichuan’s mountains and rivers.
   •    The sizzling hotpots and dry pots carry the warmth of family gatherings.
   •    Every stir and every seasoning honors the dream that began fifteen years ago.

Today, 168 Szechuan is more than a restaurant — it is a story of flavor, courage, and belonging.
We invite you to taste not just the spice, but the heart of Sichuan.
