Deng Ji Gourmet Garden (邓记食园) is the more accessible Sichuan restaurant from Chef Deng Huadong, a master with over 40 years of experience and the culinary force behind Shanghai's Michelin-selected, Black Pearl–awarded Nan Xing Yuan, renowned for its lavish Nantang banquet cuisine.
Located on the second floor of PAC in Jing'an, this 2025 return offers Sichuan cuisine with modern updates in an approachable, affordable format, averaging just ¥200 per person — significantly friendlier on the wallet compared to the ¥1,500 per head at Nan Xing Yuan. Standouts include the Mala Oxtail Bamboo, Sliced Pork with Garlic & Chili, and wok-fried Sliced Liver with Scallions. Private rooms available.
