Liuzhou

Sour, hot, savory, and steaming flavors converge in one audacious bowl of noodles.

Liuzhou is famous for luosifen, but the deeper story is its culture of pickled flavor. Sour bamboo shoots, beans, wood ear, and chili oil build complexity, while rice noodles and braised snacks carry that bold profile through everyday meals.
