The story
Perched on the 50th floor of the Waldorf Astoria in Chengdu’s financial district, Infinite Luck offers a dining experience that pairs the intensity of Sichuan cuisine with the serenity of a sky-high setting. The restaurant overlooks the city’s iconic Twin Towers, and its name – a translation of the Chinese character yun – evokes notions of fortune and mastery.
Executive Chef Yang Kai leads the kitchen with a philosophy rooted in the origins of Sichuan cooking. He travels the region to source local ingredients, then works with classic flavor profiles and time-honored techniques, adding subtle contemporary touches. The result is a menu that feels both deeply familiar and refreshingly new – a thoughtful expression of one of China’s most beloved cuisines.
Four private dining rooms are named after traditional goldfish varieties – Wangtian, Longjing, Diewi, and Liujin – each symbolizing prosperity and refined taste. The rooms accommodate from six to sixteen guests and feature floor-to-ceiling windows framing the city skyline. Semi-open doors and subtle decorative details create a calm, intimate atmosphere, while the main dining hall seats thirty-two.
In 2026, Infinite Luck earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a fitting acknowledgment of its commitment to quality and authenticity. For those seeking a sophisticated introduction to Sichuan cuisine in Chengdu, this restaurant delivers substance and style in equal measure.
