Reviews
We ordered the Kung Fu boiled fish, Wok-Fried Kidney, and cabbage. The portion was generous. We almost finished the first two and had 1/2 left of the cabbage.
The Kung Fu boiled fish is supposed to be a typical Sichuan-style food. But it was about the average and tasted like using pre-mixed pasted to make the broth. I know you are not supposed to drink the broth with that dish, but it affects the fish flavor. At least the fish filet was fresh and not overcooked.
The wok-fried kidney is not a regular dish I order for it requires some wok and seasoning skills to remove the distinctive taste of the pork kidney with a good texture. I was surprised that they did a good job: They were freshly tender. Happy that they were smooth without the thick layer of starch-coating. The spicy flavor was well blended with the kidney and peppers.
My favorite was the cabbage. The one with the least expectation. If it was not served the last, I might finish it. The wok preserved the natural sweetness of the cabbage, less spicy than the other two dishes. (I’ll say mild level ️). I wish they could make it spicier though. Texture-wise, the cabbage was fully cooked but still had the crunchy freshness. Love it!
Sorry to say, but the service was less exciting than the food. You order by scanning the QR code on the table. The menu is in both English and Chinese. Parking is limited, but the inside is bigger. Average level of noise.
I would definitely come back to try their noodles and dry-pot series.
That ruined the moment.
Good food.
– It’s authentic so it’s actually real spicy
– This is what you should order
1. Toothpick Lamb – Crispy and juicy.
2. Fried Pork Intestine – again, Crispy and juicy without the chili overpowering the sweetness of the intestine
3. Fried Pork Kidney – Spicy and oily just how a Chinese pork kidney should be. The kidney is not tough but juicy and “crunchy”
4. Mao Xie Wang – A mix pot of everything from pork blood to tripes. Generous portion and chili. Goes very well with rice
5. Stir Fry A-Choy – I always order this with Sichuan or Hunan food. Something neutral for all the spices.
Will definitely come again.
