Best Fuqi Feipian in Gaithersburg

Updated March 2026

Fuqi Feipian is a classic Sichuan cold dish made with thinly sliced beef and beef offal served in a fragrant chili oil sauce. The dish is known for its bold balance of flavors—spicy chili oil, numbing Sichuan pepper, toasted aromatics, and savory braised meat. Despite its name, which literally translates to “Husband and Wife Lung Slices,” modern versions rarely include lung and instead use cuts such as beef shank, tripe, and tendon. Originally created by a Chengdu street-vendor couple in the early 20th century, Fuqi Feipian became famous for its rich seasoning and tender texture. Today it is widely served as a cold appetizer in Sichuan restaurants and is considered one of the region’s most iconic dishes.
