SLOW service (2 people) on a Thursday. I had to get up and request water and a wine glass. EXPENSIVE $$$$ wine (only 2 choices of chardonnay) costs $55 for Hess (retail $8.99).Food was okay.

This place is incredible. A must go when in Palm Springs if you like Sichuan peppercorn!

Delicious food! Great service too! A regular stop for us. Highly recommended. So glad they survived COVID.

Just excellent, authentic Sichuan food in a friendly but not fancy environment. We had the spicy dumpling soup, the blistered green beans and a chicken stir fry and all were excellent. Huge menu, lots of options, big tables and booths. Great Sichuan food.

We went here on a recommendation and were new customers. I will begin by saying the food was good but the compliments stop there. We went on a Thurs. around 1:30pm and there were no cars in the parking lot. Sign flashing OPEN in the window. Someone walked in ahead of us (not sure how he got there) for takeout and the waitress/cook (was the only one there) asked if we were eating in. We said "yes" which she then seated & gave us menus. We were the only 2 in the restaurant. The lights were off in the entire restaurant (except the kitchen) and the air conditioning was not on. It was hot in the restaurant. If they don't want customers to have a comfortable dining experience, maybe they should close the dining room for eat-in during off-peak hours. My bad for not asking her to turn the lights on. Upon ordering, we asked if the entrees came with steamed rice and she said $1.25/person. Seriously? I've never paid for steamed rice with Chinese food. Why not just increase the price of your entrees to cover the cost instead of penny pinching customers? When we paid, no fortune cookies either! The restaurant smelled like they weren't paying for electricity to run the exhaust system either. You know how you get home and your clothes smell like where you've been? Overall a bad experience. Won't be back.

A little gem in the desert. It's not easy to find an authentic Chinese/ Sichuan restaurant in the valley. Food is not as spicy as the real Sichuan food, but it is most authentic Chinese restaurant I can find in the desert. The waitress, who is also the owner I believe, was very friendly and kind. Definitely recommend the this place if you want to try something other than Panda Express.

Service is HORRIBLE! It takes almost an hour to serve the first dish. The waitress did not pay attention to us at all. They seemed to focus more on the to go service, and do no care about dine in customers.

This might be favorite restaurant in the Coachella Valley - of ANY cuisine. I thought I was a NYC Chinatown Chinese food snob, but this little place proved me wrong.We went when it wasn’t busy and the two ladies who served us were lovely. We followed many others’ reviews and ordered the cucumbers and spicy wonton soup. We wouldn’t’ve ordered either without those suggestions and we would’ve missed out! SO good!We also had Sichuan noddles and loved them. I feel like it might be hard to go wrong here, and we’ll be back to test that theory.

Ordered here for the first time based on the positive reviews and was beyond disappointed. The Kung Pao chicken was dry and tough and had a lot of oil in the container. The spicy wonton soup looked like the bottom of the pot. There was barely any broth, mostly just a drizzle of chili oil on top of the clump of wontons that were all stuck together and no spice for ordering a medium level. The chicken chow fun was made with Phad Thai noodles rather than wide noodles and was very dry and lacked flavor. Lastly was the orange beef that was very soggy which I expect a certain amount of when you order takeout. It was not worth the $60 and most of it ended up in the bin and I still had to cook something for dinner since no one liked the food.

As soon as you walk in through the front doors you are greeted by a lady with a big smile "Hello, Welcome". And as she hands you the menu, would you like a drink? When the food arrives you realize everything is made fresh. Yum num nom...The food tastes as good as it looks. There are also vases, china dishes, cups and other items on display.

Great food... A lot of selections to choose from. The service is a bit slow, had to get up to ask for more water.

Picked up some sautéed fresh green beans, steamed dumplings and chicken fried rice. Ordered when I got there and just waited 10 minutes till my food was brought out hot and fresh all boxed up and ready to go. Got home to nice portions on each of entree's. I would go back when in town again.
