ORIGIN STORY · 成都 → 世界

We didn’t set out to invent a category.

We were four women from tech and finance trying to keep a restaurant alive in 2020. We made the lunch we wished existed: all the soul of Sichuan cooking, packed into a fast, colorful grain bowl.

2020

Survival mode became a spark.

Cash flow was tight. Offices were empty. So we built a delivery-friendly bowl that traveled well and still tasted alive.

SG

People came back for the feeling.

Heat, crunch, grains, greens. One shop became more across Singapore—and a new kind of fast casual started taking shape.

USA

Now the bowl is crossing oceans.

We’re bringing our first U.S. kitchen to the Bay Area. Same founder-led obsession. New neighborhood. Bigger table.

We are our own customers.Tasty enough to crave. Balanced enough for Tuesday.One bowl at a time.

EAT WITH YOUR EYES

Good mood,
served warm.
