The story
Chef Liu Xin established HONG0871 Yunnan Cuisine in 2018, bringing his modern approach to Dian cooking to Oshawa. His kitchen employs eight distinct cooking methods to transform classic recipes into what the industry calls "New Dian cuisine." The approach prioritizes ecological food sources from the Yunnan region while ensuring every dish remains deeply flavorful. Authentic ingredients form the foundation of this culinary philosophy.
Ingredients travel from small highland production areas in Yunnan to reach the table. This supply chain supports a focus on green food sources that retain their original freshness and texture. The kitchen uses these materials to highlight the natural characteristics of the region's produce through precise preparation.
The restaurant's dedication to quality has earned consistent praise within the hospitality sector. HONG0871 holds a Black Pearl Restaurant Guide 1 Diamond award for 2026. Earlier acclaim includes five consecutive Michelin one-star ratings spanning 2020 to 2024. This track record highlights the restaurant's consistent performance across its operations.
