Found this place on Michelin restaurant guide and also recommended by local hostel we are staying at. They have won lots of awards, on their wall. They are open for dinner 5pm-8pm, and seem to get busy fast. We came at 1715 on a Tuesday and got a table for four immediately, but there were a few groups sitting outside waiting when we left. They do takeout. Food was good quality, tasty and very reasonably priced (170 yuan total). Not too spicy, so even people who don't like spicy food will find something to eat. Lovely wait staff, who even enforced the non-smoking indoors policy, which was amazing!! The restaurant was comfortable and clean, especially because of the lack of smokers. I would definitely go back if I'm passing through Chengdu again.

Probably the most authentic family style Sichuan restaurant in Chengdu atm… and the 3rd gen owner coming from design background… so you know the details and quality of their food is top notch (not easy to find in most Chinese restaurants these days)

Must try
肝腰合炒(Stir Fried Pig Kidney and Liver)
红油鸡片（Boiled Sliced Chicken with Chilli/Chili soil ) - cold appetizer
番茄圆子汤(Meatball Soup with Tomato and Bean Sprouts)

Iykyk… The food scene in Chengdu is intense and not many restaurants can last over 30 years. That’s why you know 永乐 is good…

Popular casual Sichuan restaurant. Had to wait about 30mins for a table. Food came very quickly. Tried few of their popular dishes. Tasty.
