We’ve been coming here for years, and the Crispy Eggplant (风味茄子) is still the reason we keep returning. It’s hands down the best crispy eggplant I’ve had in Metro Vancouver—perfectly crispy on the outside, tender inside, and packed with flavor.
This visit, the Guai Wei Fish (怪味鱼) was a pleasant surprise and ended up being one of our favorite dishes. The Sheng Jiao Fish Fillet, dumplings, and chili oil wontons were all very good as well.

We stopped by in the middle of the afternoon, around 2–3 PM, and were pleasantly surprised to find the restaurant still open. We were hungry and very grateful to be able to enjoy such a great meal.
This is a modern take on Sichuan cuisine, and the quality was outstanding. From the cooking techniques and presentation to the freshness of the ingredients, every dish felt carefully prepared. The flavors were balanced, vibrant, and full of character.

One of the best Szechuan food in town - our favorite dish is the Szechuan spicy chicken! They are also famous for the fried dough which is fresh and large - great for sharing!
Service is good and food is great each time we visit.
