Take pictures with astronaut

Previously a steamboat BBQ restaurant named Xiao Jun Gan, the revamped restaurant Chef China Hua Chu now serves with skewers and simulated interstellar travel.

According to the restaurant, you might get to meet their astronaut mascot "if you are lucky."

Sichuan cuisine and Dongbei skewers

However, the space theme is limited to the decor and does not cover the menu, where you'll find hot and cold dishes, skewers, and soups.
