A bit surprised that such an authentic Sichuan Restaurant is located in Claremont. So they use Chinese pepper corns, star anise, chili oils and spicy bean sauces like in China. So far all dishes were very good and service is great. It is not so crowded now since it recently opened. I am worried if there will be long lines later when people find out their food is good. I recommend Sichuan boiled fish in spicy oil and ma po tofu. Parking is available.
