It’s hard to miss this one on the busy University Avenue with their bright red China elements — and maybe really hard to beat too. This is probably the only Chinese restaurant around here with such an inviting outdoor patio, which makes it perfect for us since our dog babies can relax too.
The menu strikes a really smart balance between authentic Sichuan spicy dishes and more Americanized Chinese classics, so there’s something for everyone. The signature spicy fish fillet in flaming red oil is a must-try — bold, fragrant, and so satisfying it might have just saved me an expensive flight back to China. The chili oil wontons are my personal favorite starter and never disappoint.
This is an easy repeat spot for us, and we’ll definitely go back around CNY days.

This place has excellent Sichuan food. We had fried fish filet, intestines and broccoli. The fried fish was especially awesome – the batter was super light and crispy. It will be my regular dish there.

Absolutely loved the food here. The flavors felt genuinely Chinese and incredibly fresh. Finding a place like this in Palo Alto feels like a real treat. I would happily come back again and recommend it to anyone who enjoys authentic Chinese cuisine.

We did catering through Kiki. She is super nice and super helpful. Nice food planning for us. Give them a try and make sure you ask for her

This is a fantastic little restaurant. Despite seemingly low profile appearance, the food is definitely beyond expectation. We’ve been here a couple of times, and it never disappointed us. The atmosphere has a family-style vibe – which we really love.

The food is great but it’s really expensive. Would be 5 stars if it was a bit cheaper. for example, the sweet and sour dish was $40 and wasn’t a huge serving. another reason why it’s 4 stars is because someone in my party is deathly allergic to pine nuts and they don’t list their allergens. chinese dishes aren’t usually cooked with pine nuts so it would have been nice to know they were in the dish.

This place was exceptional! Some 9/10 and above dishes!
The skewer pot was so good! So well balanced and slightly spicy. The spicy pickled fish soup was great! Everything was amazing!
One of the most authentic Chinese food I had in a while. Palo Alto is blessed with this spot!

Check out this hidden gem on University Ave if you love authentic Chinese food! Price is quite reasonable given the location! recommend: Bo Bo Chicken: Spicy and delicious! Tea-smoked duck is my favorite! Taste and texture are very similar to Peking duck: skin is crispy and meat is tender, perfect amount of fat, yum! Roasted Pork knuckles: melt in your mouth delish! Salted egg yolk Pumpkin: sweet pumpkin is wrapped in a thick layer of salted egg yolk and fried to a crisp, beware salted egg yolk is super addictive! Also love the hot and sour noodles with pork intestines, hands down authentic! They have both spicy and non-spicy food so everyone would be accommodated! Overall a great place for authentic Chinese food if you are close by!

Despite having a sore throat, I was really craving some Chinese cuisine, so I requested that they not add any spice to my food. I was pleasantly surprised that even without the added kick, the dishes still tasted absolutely fantastic!
The restaurant’s service was also exceptional. The staff were very attentive and accommodating to my needs. They went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was enjoyable and comfortable.

Hands down the best Chinese restaurant in town.
I have been coming here for 3 years and brought friends over as well. Recently my co-workers from China office came and gave great feedback. Very fresh ingredients. I recommend fresh fish with pickled vegetables and Mapo Tofu. Highly recommend!
