Id recommend and go again. It’s good but not the best Chinatown has to offer. A little pricey. Protein dishes don’t come w rice but they do offer white or brown. Margarita was good. Food was a little too salty & assuming they use msg, maybe a little too much of that. I got a headache a couple hours later . Also looked like they had a private dining area for large groups.

Went on a Sunday for dinner. We had the spicy chicken, snow pea leaves with garlic, cumin lamb, Dan Dan noodles and dumplings in chili oil. Food was 4/5. The lamb and the chicken weren’t spicy enough but still good and the other stuff was great. I had 2 Singha beers and my bf had a whiskey and diet coke. It was packed with diners and door dash delivery drivers waiting for food. Service was pretty good but disappeared towards the end of the meal. Bathrooms were king of messy but ok. I love this kind of food and would visit again.

Would recommend making a reservation ahead of time. This restaurant gets really busy, especially during dinner hours. The food is good but I would say there are other great restaurants that will also fulfill your expectations. I would recommend the double fried mini skewers, it’s spicy and flavorful. The servers are very friendly and would occasionally check on us.

I rarely eat Szechuan food cuz it’s too spicy, but here you can adjust the spice level! I was doing pretty well at level 1 & 2. The food is very well-seasoned and affordable. My favorite is the skewer. The dry wok has beef and some veggie, and is pretty good as well. Yangzhou fried rice and cabbage are standard. House special fried rice is pretty good, better than the yangzhou style one imo. The bok choy taste wise is fine but I don’t like cutting the bok choy this way. Dan dan noodle is normal. I like the chili oil of the dumplings, it has more seasoning than just being spicy. Kungpao chicken is meh – not bad but probably won’t order it again and try other dishes. The restaurant is not big so highly recommend making reservation.

Went for the first time and it was delicious! We had wonton soup, egg drop soup, an egg roll, chicken fried rice and salt/pepper shrimp. Service was quick and great. Will definitely come back!

We ordered a few dishes, but only two truly stood out as five-star worthy! the Szechuan-style fish and the wood ear mushrooms. Both were bursting with flavor and perfectly balanced. The cucumber with garlic sauce & snow pea leave with garlic sauce are decent, though not as impressive as versions I’ve had at other Chinese restaurants. Unfortunately, the salt and pepper shrimp was a bit disappointing because the shrimp didn’t taste very fresh, and the seasoning was too light to bring out much flavor.
Overall, it was still a good dining experience, and I’ll definitely come back to try more dishes from their menu.

This place recommended by a chinese friend and wanted to drop by first time I am in the city. so i did. I did not want to risk by ordering too much or too risky food, and wanted to run a simple test of fried rice with beef, to see if it passes texture test. Unfortuantely I had some bad experiences ieven with the fried rice.
I like the texture. There was no exaggeration such as adding extra oil or soy sauce. It was simple with some egg. it was a big portion, therefore was happy for not ordering another dish because hardly finished the main dish and im not fan of taking it home

We went on Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the place was packed full. We waited a long time to order but once we did the food came pretty quickly. We got mapo tofu, beef with peppers, twice cooked pork, spicy fried chicken, dumpling soup, and scallion pancake. Twice cooked pork was probably the best dish of the night, but everything was excellent, with the exception of maybe mapo tofu, it was just good but not addictive. A lot to look forward to the next time we go.
