The price is slightly high compared to the nearby restaurants but it's totally worth. It's one of the best Chinese (Sichuan) food I can find in Riverside (and they also offer other kinds of food like orange chicken or sushi as well). It's so amazing that I no longer need to drive 50 mins to LA for delicious Chuan food.

Super yummy Chinese food. We ordered the vegetable Lo Mein and beef broccoli with the handmade pork dumplings. Everything was delicious.

Their food tastes good and they have rly good service! Love coming here after a hard exam, and the price is pretty decent as well. I always get the sukiyaki and the portion size is always pretty generous

Pretty good food, just wish they’d give both in my to-go sukiyaki orders… I want to eat soup not things in soup only, I can’t enjoy the soup when the both is smaller than the other stuff in the soup

Food is just amazing. I went there twice and got a Uber once, ordered a spicy beef sukiyaki which wasn’t Japanese sukiyaki but way better.(Im from Japan so I can tell ,but if’s personal opinion though 😛)I love spicy food 🥘 🌶️ and it was the best delicious spicy hotpot I’ve ever had in my life. What I loved about it is there’re many ingredients in it. I can’t believe it’s just less than 20 dollars. It’s worth it. You should try!

BEWARE THE CHILI OIL, soooo hot it legit ruined the fried rice .. to be fair we should’ve tried it but the fried rice didn’t have much flavor so we were literally trying to spice it up and it was inedible , my boyfriend and I had a horrible stomachache

Ordered the sweet glutinous rice cake and was delicious. However, when it came to the beef fried rice, it tasted bland and not fragrant and the onions in the rice tasted raw. There could have been more beef in the fried rice. The braised beef noodle soup was disappointing. The noodles were chewy, yet they did not taste fresh, and the beef were too tough. Soup was tasty and considerably better than the beef fried rice.
The coke tasted old and we could not self service the drink even though the fountain was right out in the customer dining area. The overall vibe of the place felt very unwelcoming and unpleasant to eat in.
I do not recommend eating here.

Came here to eat for two people and was ignored the whole time by the workers and the food took a while to arrive,when it came time to pay the older woman came with an iPad and got visibly agitated when we did not tip on the iPad and she got upset and said “no ten percent?!” (We leave tips in cash) but okay then we won’t be returning again.

We only ordered sushi items. The raw fish was on the warm side when served, but smelled and tasted fine. Soy sauce tasted like jerky (we tried multiple bottles). Could be intentional, but was definitely different than expected. We might be back to try the other items on the menu but not likely the sushi.

They were one of the few restaurants open on Christmas Day, so we visited after a fun day snowboarding at Big Bear. The food was really good, and super convenient to order (via QR code). Service was great even on a holiday.

We had the kimchi hot pot, crunchy roll, honey walnut shrimp, and cream cheese wontons. The wontons were too sweet for my taste but my partner loved them. Overall would definitely return!
