near
the
7-train
Vernon
Boulevard/Jackson
Avenue
subway
station,
this
restaurant
serves
Chinese
and
Sichuan
dishes
and
has
earned
a
Michelin
Bibi
Gourmand.
Hupo
is
a
narrow
and
long
restaurant
with
tables
at
the
front
and
more
tables
after
the
stairs
and
a
well-stocked
bar
with
wines
and
cocktails.
Make
your
reservation
on
weekends.
The
menu
online
had
a
glitch,
so
an
iPad
is
on
hand.
Unusual
house
music
accompanies
this
Chinese
experience.
In
June
2023,
as
appetizer,
we
ordered
4
pork
soup
dumplings
($8)
that
tasted
good
but
with
too
much
liquid
inside.
Don’t
keep
the
hot
steam
in
the
dumplings,
please.
The
braised
fish
fillet
with
vegetables,
garlic
and
chili
flake
in
hot
chili
soup
($21)
is
a
signature
dish
and
came
brimming
with
chopped
garlic
and
had
the
fiery,
umami-driven
complexity
we
crave
in
this
Sichuan
cuisine.
It
was
a
gentle
assault
on
the
taste
buds
but
did
not
stun
them.
The
fish
was
still
present
in
flavour
and
steamed
well.
We
needed
time
afterwards
to
digest
and
recover
from
this
dish.
It
was
so
delicious
that
we
did
not
want
to
spoil
this
culinary
delight
afterwards.
In
our
memory,
we
went
back
to
our
restaurant
visits
in
China
to
say:
yes,
remember
that
restaurant
in
China:
at
that
level.
So
good.
Hupo
serves
Chinese
food
out
of
this
world.
Highly
recommended.
