Rockville's Best Fuqi Feipian (2026)

Updated April 2026

Rockville remains the premier destination for authentic Sichuan cuisine in Maryland. If you are looking for high-quality Fuqi Feipian (夫妻肺片), the classic cold dish of thinly sliced beef and tripe in a spicy, numbing chili oil, here are the top spots currently serving it.

1. Good Harvest (Chuan Tian Xia 川天下)

This modern Sichuan powerhouse is a favorite for those who want intense, high-energy flavors.

Menu Item: Lung Slice Dry Mix (夫妻肺片)

The Style: They utilize a dry-mix approach. Instead of the meat swimming in a deep bowl of oil, it is tossed in a highly concentrated savory dressing. It is aromatic, spicy, and topped with crushed peanuts and fresh cilantro for texture.

2. Kung Fu 12 Szechuan (功夫十二)

Located on Shady Grove Road, this kitchen is widely considered one of the most authentic Sichuan spots in the area for those who crave the true numbing sensation.

Menu Item: Sliced Beef Ox Tendon in Chili Sauce (夫妻肺片)

The Style: This is a three-pepper heat-level dish. It features a vibrant red chili oil and a generous amount of Sichuan peppercorns for the signature mala effect.

3. Bob's Shanghai 66

While famous for soup dumplings, Bob's carries a solid selection of Sichuan cold appetizers that hold their own.

Menu Item: Spicy Beef Tendon (B06) or Spicy Beef and Tripe

The Style: Because this is a Shanghainese-leaning restaurant, their version is often slightly more savory and less aggressively numbing than specialized Sichuan shops. It is an excellent choice if you want a spicy kick alongside soup dumplings.

4. Sichuan Jin River

A long-standing staple for purists that has remained a reliable choice for years.

Menu Item: Beef Tendon and Tripe with Spicy Sauce (夫妻肺片)

The Style: Very traditional presentation. It features thin slices in a pool of bright red spicy oil. It is a no-frills, authentic version focused on the classic balance of heat and aromatics.
