A good Chinese restaurant with above average food. We tried the cabbage and pork boiled dumplings, the steamed pork soup dumplings, and the pan fried pork soup dumplings. The pan fried soup dumplings were the best – good flavor, crispy bottoms, and juicy soup inside. The boiled dumplings were only okay. I thought the pork filling for the boiled dumplings was a bit musky, and I found a piece of gristle in one dumpling. The steamed pork soup dumplings could have used more soup but were otherwise fine. We also ordered a side of cucumber salad, which was decent overall but a bit salty and garlicky. The service was brisk and professional. They brought us rice for no extra charge – a nice touch. We thought the atmosphere was pleasant overall, with warm lights and plants.

We came as a family of 4 and got seated right away. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was very fresh especially the hot grilled fish we ordered which was super delicious with the right seasonings! They also were able to serve the dishes quite quickly and the overall experience has been excellent! We will come back again for sure!

Sadly, everything was severely overcooked except the squid (which was good). The lamb had shrunk to rock hard chunks, the shrimp lost all signs of life and moisture. Disappointing because the menu looks solid.

If you were an American style Chinese food lover, then I would NOT recommend this restaurant. But if you would like to explore some flavors from Northern-West China, it would be a nice place to enjoy some dishes here.
I ordered needle bowl and 🐑/🐄 skewers, needles are quite flavored, 🐑/🐮 skewers a little dried, but overall quite enjoyed my lunch ☺️☺️

First thing first, the food is good. I ordered 凉拌牛杂, which is very delicious and authentic. 超级牛肉米线 is not close to the realGuizhou authentic ones, but it is very delicious. Good portion and decent presentation.

The service is good and attentive.

The store is nicely renovated and clean.

Price is reasonable.

Very glad to see a second Guizhou noodle shop in Mountain View downtown. Hope they will keep up the good service and create new things to survive and thrive.

Interestingly, all customers coming in looks like they come from either Guizhou or Hunan. I feel homey😂

I always have the best time whenever I come here! The staff is super friendly and always remembers me when I come in, and the food does NOT disappoint! One of my go to local spots to bring friends to share some delicious food. Totally underrated and should be way busier than they are!

Trying a new Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area is the same as domestic violence. The difference is zero times versus countless times.
