A restaurant by Archway Hospitality Group
Imperial Sichuan,Served All Day.
Centuries-old culinary traditions expressed through modern hospitality — from a weekday breakfast table to a nine-course chef’s tasting.
The restaurant
Centuries of Technique, Set for Today
J.C. Hwang’s Albany brings the rich heritage of imperial classic Sichuan cuisine to the table. The kitchen works from the traditions that shaped the cuisine — balance before heat, and technique before spectacle — and serves them in a room built for everyday dining rather than occasion only.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are each curated as their own all-you-can-eat menu, so the restaurant changes character through the day without ever changing its standard.
The experience
What to Expect
All-Day Dining
Three curated all-you-can-eat menus — breakfast, lunch and dinner — each written for its own time of day rather than trimmed from the last.
Sichuan Heritage
Authentic, masterfully balanced flavors inspired by the imperial classics, prepared with the discipline the tradition asks for.
Chef’s Table
The 9-Bowl Tasting Experience — a modern evolution of Sichuan’s traditional Nine Big Bowls, served as a single seated progression.
