The minds behind beloved Chinese eatery Sichuan House and swanky craft cocktail joint Jet Setter will open the doors on their newest venture, Dashi Sichuan Kitchen + Bar, on Thursday, July 15.
The hotly anticipated Dashi will open exclusively by reservation from 4-10 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays, the San Antonio Express-News reports.
Chef Jian Li — with the help of local chef consultant Teddy Liang — created a Sichuan menu that includes familiar standards such as crispy spicy chicken, wok-seared green beans, cumin lamb chops and mapo tofu, the Express-News reports. Offerings such as spicy whole fish with tripas, a cold salad of beef shank and tripe and colorful-and-spicy Burning Man Noodles will be available for more adventurous eaters.
Dashi boasts a full bar program of cocktails, wine, beer and Asian whisky curated by Benjamin Krick of craft cocktail spots Pastiche and Jet-Setter.
The new project is located in a 6,000-square-foot space at 2895 Thousand Oaks Dr. that formerly housed restaurants including LA Crawfish and Hawx Burger Bar.
Reservations for the new restaurant are available by calling (210) 562-3343.
