About this listing

Sara’s Kitchen provides a vital service for kosher-observant travelers and residents in Chengdu, China. Established in 2012 by Mrs. Sara Henig, this culinary landmark was born out of a need to provide "home-style" Jewish meals to businessmen and tourists visiting the Sichuan province. Operating under strict rabbinical supervision, it serves as one of the few reliable sources for glatt kosher meat and Pas Yisroel baked goods in Western China.

The menu is designed to offer a sense of familiarity in a region where kosher ingredients are often difficult to source. From fresh challah to traditional Shabbat dinners, the food is prepared with personal care to ensure that Jewish visitors can maintain their dietary standards while exploring the capital of Sichuan. Whether you are in the city for a short business trip or an extended stay, Sara's Kitchen offers a bridge between local exploration and religious observance.

About the area

The establishment is located at 12 Xin Xi Wang Lu in the Tongzilin area of the Wuhou District. This neighborhood is well-regarded for its international atmosphere and is frequently chosen by foreign professionals and travelers for its accessibility and modern amenities. In the context of Jewish life in Chengdu, this address is significant as it is closely associated with the Chabad Jewish Center of Chengdu.

Navigating Chengdu as a kosher traveler can be challenging, but being situated in Wuhou Qu provides proximity to major transportation links and hotels. The presence of Rabbi Dov Henig, who serves as the Director of the Chabad Center, ensures that the kitchen remains a central point for the local Jewish community. Visitors often use this location as a base for coordinating their Shabbat needs while staying in the city’s various international hotel chains.
