The most gross sweet and sour pork ever! My gf ate most of it and got sick later that night. After throwing up a few times, she finally felt a bit better. First time getting takeout there and won’t go back ever! Terrible service and food, don’t waste your time and money there.

Delicious food, simple atmosphere. Restaurant is in the shopping center, back left. Takes cash only. Service was great/as expected.

Despite being located inside a food court, this place offers some authentic and delicious Sichuan food. Highly recommend the meat dishes, especially if you love spicy. Unfortunately, service is lacking like many Chinese restaurants.

Dont feel like wasting my time reviewing this place. Let just say I wasted 30 bucks and feed my trashcan dinner. The food tasted like fried plastic and chemicals, not sure how this is even possible. Please avoid, avoid, and get yourself some Panda Express instead.

This place is truly a hidden neighborhood gem: excellent, spicy Sichuan comfort food restaurant hidden at the back of a small, run-down Chinese mini-mall and food court. Moderate prices considering the large servings (at least for takeout, I’ve never sat down to eat here). Best to order in Mandarin if you can. They take cash, and I think PayPal, but not credit cards. Tons of parking in a big lot in front of the mall.

The amounts of the dishes are more than enough for two. The taste is ok. Some food is very oily. If you only have two people, don’t order too many dishes.

Did not know it is cash only before I arrived. Ordered 夫妻肺片 ( take away ) and it was too salty. As someone from Sichuan province, I can only gave a 3 star. But the service was very nice.

Excellent food, great service. Not fancy but if you enjoy authentic Szechuan this place is great. I had the spicy friend chicken, the spicy green beans and the spicy boiled fish. Tastes just like it did when I was eating this stuff in China!

It’s alright. The food is okay, not great, not bad, but ok.

If you’re looking for an unapologetically Sichuan restaurant where locals go, this is it. The portions are substantial and the pricing is solid. It is cash only so beware, but the food is fantastic. I’m a big fan of the Mapo Tofu and the Dan Dan Mien (watch out for the spice!). Chef Z is also a really nice guy who will come out to chat with you and remembers regulars
