Editor’s Note

Last updated 22 Aug 2026

Our take: San Gu Cuisine sits firmly in the underrated-zichar category — a Sichuan-leaning stall that has built a decade-long following by keeping portions generous and prices honest, with most dishes landing between $7 and $13.

The 剁椒鱼 (steamed fish with spicy chili) is the standout that regulars point to first, and the eggplant stir-fry draws equally devoted fans.

Beyond the hits, the menu spans enough Northern Chinese territory — steamed dumplings, braised beef slices, kung pao chicken, even 北方馒头 — to keep a table of four well occupied.

We'd note that not every dish fires on all cylinders: the 辣子鸡 (Chongqing chicken) is bone-heavy, and at least one reviewer flagged the 回锅肉 as occasionally underpowered on flavour.

Service execution has also drawn criticism — one table reportedly waited over an hour for a vegetable dish with little transparency from staff.

That's a real operational rough edge worth knowing about.

On the upside, portion sizes consistently over-deliver for the price point, and the kitchen clearly has technical chops when it's on form.

Best suited for groups of four or more who can spread across several dishes and absorb the occasional miss.

Skip weekend peak hours unless you've called ahead.

What customers say

San Gu Cuisine is widely praised as an underrated zichar and Sichuan-leaning hawker stall offering generous portions at affordable prices, with standouts like 剁椒鱼 (steamed fish with chili), eggplant stir-fry, dumplings, kung pao chicken, and braised beef slices earning loyal repeat customers — one family has patronised for over 10 years across two locations.

The heavily Sichuan-influenced menu, including La Zi Ji (Chongqing chicken), Mapo Tofu, and 回锅肉, delivers consistently strong wok hei though a few dishes like 辣子鸡 draw minor criticism for being bone-heavy and 回锅肉 occasionally lacking depth of flavour.

On the negative side, a serious food safety complaint flagged plastic found in a dish and alleged mislabelling of pig heart as pork knuckle, while service honesty during peak hours drew criticism — one table waited over an hour for a vegetable dish while staff repeatedly claimed it was being cooked.

Wait times on weekends are frequently noted as long, and the stall is best visited with a group of at least four to make the most of its large sharing portions.
