Seating was tight. I understand they try to fit as many people as they can but you want to be able to backup and not bump into someone else.

Spicy? Yes. Tasty? No. Flavor? Not so much. Greasy? Very much so. Authentic? Maybe.

Large menu. Recommendations: sizzling beef or chicken, beef or chicken in dry pot, the twice cooked pork or chicken, chicken or shredded pork with pickled chili pepper, chicken in Szechuan sauce, chicken with black bean sauce, and the green beans or eggplant if you want some greens with your meat and something without spice. From the little bar in the corner, you can get cucumbers, seaweed, or some meats they call husband and wife. They have some wines. Love no frills spicy city. It tastes best to eat in-house. Our favorite Chinese spot in town for over a decade and recommend to friends if you like Szechuan style. We have friends that come out of town and request to go here each time.

Traditional Chinese place and the name says it all. They serve stuff that is not hot but specialize in heat. We went here 3 times during our one week vacation. The fried whole fish swimming in sweet and sour was fantastic!

My favorite chinese place in the area. I usually order takeout for dinner, but recently sat inside for lunch. Servers were prompt with providing water and hot tea. Dishes ordered were hot and delicious. Should really try to eat inside more, but depending on time the parking and restaurant can get quite busy.

Sichuan food, so it can get really spicy if you order spicy (get that if you’re a ‘hothead’ although I’m sure it’ll be an overkill for most people). I love spicy food but I ordered medium and it was at the right level.

Amazing spicy and flavorful Sichuan dishes! Ordered take-out and everything was great! Helpful staff and fast service. We ordered Cumin lamb, Chef’s special green beans, fried chicken cubes with hot peppers and Sichuan spicy cold noodles (not pictured). They offer levels of spice to meet all needs and if you want it really spicy, this is the place! We will be back.

Got the dumplings in chili oil, eggplant, Dan Dan noodles, and pork with buns. Everything was great, albeit a little oily. I think the eggplant dish was too generous for 3 people — it was impossible to finish. The pork with buns were delicious, my favorite. And the Dan Dan noodles were delicious.

So good. I don’t have feelings about Chinese food being too oily or too spicy.

I was so impressed. The workers were so nice, and the food was excellent. I’ll come back to try more things. The chicken in dried pot was great. It’s kind of spicy. The fish with green pepper sauce was good too. It’s like a sour soup and the fish is so tender.
