Good place for a quick bite. The atmosphere and service are no frills, but the food is quite tasty.

We ordered the Chongqing Street Noodle (D11) and the Noodle with twice-cooked pork (D10). The portion sizes were good, but there was very little protein in either bowl. Aside from that, the noodles had a nice bounce to them and the broth was flavorful. Just beware that both were a bit spicy if you are sensitive to heat.

Wow I hate leaving bad reviews but the food is awful. I love authentic chinese food- this was bland and I also suspect they don’t even make the noodles. The Mapo was strange.
They use a robot waiter as well and idk it doesn’t give the vibe that they care about food or their employees.

We stumbled into this great restaurant while in Oakland chinatown. The food here was excellent! The atmosphere was nice and the variety was incredible. They have homemade noodles that was amazing and the short ribs were fall off the bone tender amazing flavors. 100% recommend!

Great noodles!

I came here on a Sunday afternoon, dining solo. The weather was fine so I was hoping for a seat outside, which i got. The menu has so many delicious looking items, it was hard to choose. I had a pork dish and a plate of spicy cucumber for a starter. The service was unique! A robot delivered my meal, perhaps a COVID era legacy. No issues with that. My meal was delicious, the outside seating is tranquil, and the food excellent. Highly recommended.

Really wanted to like this place as I been wanting real sichuan food … but every dish we ordered disappointed. Sichuan noodles were not that good. Mapo tofu way too soupy. Cold sesame noodles were meh … not sure why the rave … I won’t be back …

The dumplings were no doubt some of the best I’ve had! Delicious food and enjoyed on the outside patio.

Got beef sirloin and shank soups, both had excellent noodles and though the meat was fine the soup was more enjoyable.

Great service, the waitress was very kind and provided frequent water refills. Also, 5 ⭐ atmosphere just because of the robot with the comically happy music that serves you your soup. Well worth the price.

One of the best meals and service experiences I’ve had in Oakland! My partner and I stopped in the other day, and everything, from the food to the warm energy, was top-notch.

We ordered the chicken fried rice and the spicy beef noodles, and both dishes were so bomb, flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The kind of food you keep thinking about after you leave.

The service was just as memorable. The staff made us feel so welcomed and taken care of, water cups were always filled, smiles all around, and they even brought out a little bowl of water for my dog. That thoughtful touch went above and beyond and really stood out to me.

Oakland has a lot of great restaurants, but this spot is definitely at the top of my list now. I’ll absolutely be back, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for delicious food, warm vibes, and genuinely kind service.

Delicious noodles and more. Potstickers are also excellent. You can dial in the heat from zero to super hot. Friendly service. The noodles are hand made which takes four hours to make. Good prices too. Cuisine is from Northern China, near Beijing.
