Shan Shi Liu (山石榴) is a casual Guizhou restaurant chain founded in 2018. Acidity and spice are the defining features of Guizhou cuisine, mostly varying degrees of sour-spicy, but it’s not a “burn your face off” heat. The use of vinegars and pickling originates from the scarcity of salt back in the day, where transportation through the mountainous landscape proved difficult. Dishes to get include fish in sour soup, beef noodles, deep-fried lotus root, broken ear root, fried bean curd, and chili fried pork kidneys, among others.

The brand has multiple locations in Shanghai. All the venues are wildly popular; one of those “go early, get a number, and wait” places. Interiors are modern and tasteful. This is the flagship.
