Absolute 5 star!! Incredible food, best service I've seen in a SiChuan restaurant, clean environment, no wait, and a comfortable, well decorated environment. Came here with my family after a movie. GPS led us to the backdoor of the restaurant, which wasn't very appealing. Thankfully, the waitress politely led us to our seats just when my family was starting to have doubts. Food completely blew us away. The lamb dish was the best I've had, just the right amount of cumin (not too much!). Vegetables were suprisingly packed with flavor. Very authentic.

Another one star charmer. Went for Sunday brunch today. No parking in front as RWC still thinks it's a good idea for Covid. We're back to normal so bring back the street parking. Tried parking in back lot ,but back door is locked so you must walk clear around the block to use front door. Why? Food is still OK ,but what a pain in the a***

Consistently good. Had indoor dining, first time since Covid and it didn't disappoint. I love their mock chicken options. Great for vegetarians.

If I ever go to any Asian restaurant, I always have to order cheese wontons. My friend picked me up a to-go order of cheese wontons and wonton soup. The wonton soup was ok, nothing special. The real disappointment were the cheese wontons. They were bland and had no cheese in them!!

Really enjoyed our dinner here; flavors were authentic and delicious. My chief criticism is that the spice levels have been reduced...probably an accommodation to standard American tastes. The spicy eggplant was almost bland, and the boiled fish also needed a little help. We asked for some chili sauce and was given a VERY small portion. Fortunately that did add a little bit of heat that was missing. Tea smoked duck might have been a tad overdone, but the smokiness permeated

We recently had a group dinner at the Crouching Tiger. We ate family style as there were almost 10 people in our group. The staff was very friendly and did a nice job handling our group. We were happy to find Bud Light available on the menu in addition to a good selection of "craft" beers. The food was served promptly and was good quality. We did find that some of the dishes that we recommended to us by members of our groups were much to spicy for our taste but the waitress told us the would make any dish in a less spicy version which we appreciated. Overall a nice experience.

I went to this restaurant with my family for my niece's graduation from Stanford. We picked this place because it's authentic Chinese. I enjoyed the sizzling rice with chicken. It's very different from what I usually order in Chinese restaurants. We also ordered the pork knuckle, sizzling iron prawns and seafood Singapore noodles. We really enjoyed the pork knuckle. It was braised and tender and flavorful. I rated this place 4 stars because our waiter couldn't recommend a dish and I asked about the sizzling rice and he said it wasn't very good. He also never checked back with us. He just took our order and we didn't see him until it was time to pay. Basically, the service isn't good if you are the type to always want to see your waiter for water refreshes.

In general I like this restaurant and the people inside are super, super nice! I ordered the vegetable tofu Kung Pau take away. I received chicken kung pau. They offered to replace it but I didn't have time so i was just going to eat the veggies. On the menu it lists a bunch of veggies that come in it, none of which are jalapeños. What it came with is a bunch of jalapeños. You should not add things that are not listed on the menu. Please amend your menu to include jalapeños (NOT bell peppers). I would have asked for it without the jalapeños. Love your restaurant but did not love lunch today.

I really wanted to like this restaurant, but I ordered garlic spinach and it was full of dirt. They don't wash their food. :-( So I am still in search of a good chinese restaurant on the peninsula.

This place is not spacious and does not have an eye catching furniture. The service is fast and the menu is easy to understand. Quality of the food is acceptable and portions are generous. The chicken wings and chow main that I ordered were a little bit greasy , however , the spices were enough. It is not a fancy restaurant, but the food is authentic Chinese.

The food here is really good I highly recommend it if you are ordering out. We haven't had the chance to visit the actual restaurant so I can't really write a review on that timer but the food is amazing.

I come here all the time, idk why I haven't left a review yet. It's my staple Chinese food spot, I can always count on the food to be delicious. Pick up is really quick, they are all super friendly. I mostly do pick ups but never has an issue with the service or the food. Very solid place!

Was expecting a higher quality food experience based on the reviews posted here. We had a long day and didn't want to cook at home. Chinese delivery seemed to be the best option. Your restaurant is right down the street so we figured it would arrive nice and hot - NOT!! Not only was it not hot, the food was not good. We ordered a lot of different dishes so we could all share. Over $100 for the final bill and boy were we disappointed. I will start with the good dishes. The Chicken Chow Mein was good, even with it being only a bit warm. The Fried Chicken Salad with peanut dressing was pretty good. My father seemed to like the Sweet and Sour Pork with extra sauce (although he isn't picky so I hesitate to include that dish on the "good" list). The white and brown rice was also good. The Vegetable Spring Roll was horrible, although the red sweet & sour dipping sauce was fine. I couldn't even finish mine, one bite was all I could take. The Lemon Chicken was horrible. We paid up to get breast meat and it was SO dry and lacked any taste whatsoever. Even the lemon sauce didn't perk that dish up. And this is from someone who prefers mild!! The pot stickers were OK, we had been having a craving so we ordered two helpings for our group. There was hardly enough of the sauce to go around, and it seemed like just soy sauce (not the typical pot sticker sauce). I would have ordered the Cashew Chicken, but for some reason the menu indicated that you use Hoisin Sauce, which is totally not typical. I now wonder if that would have been any better than the Lemon Chicken!! I am sorry to say that I won't return to your restaurant when I am in town next. Very disappointing experience all around.
