This was one of the most frustrating dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. We waited 30 minutes just to be seated. Once seated, we waited OVER AN HOUR for our food with almost no communication from staff.
The restaurant was clearly severely understaffed, and as a result, getting any kind of service was extremely difficult. The overall atmosphere felt chaotic.
After such a long wait, the food should have at least been worth it—but it absolutely was not. EVERYTHING WAS WAY TOO SALTY.
DO NOT RECOMMEND HORRIBLE👎

I ordered Dan Dan noodles and cold spicy chicken for take out. The noodles were ok but the chicken was very delicious.
It’s my first time inside. It was traditional Chinese decoration. I’m impressed with the entrance. I’ll have to dine in soon and try other dishes.

The service is so bad. The waiter is very impolite and aggressive. Seems they don’t want to serve you at all. One dish of lamb is also not fresh at all. It smells so bad.

This was our first time here. We had spicy fish, salt and pepper calamari, egg rolls and dumplings. The food was great, large portions. We will definitely be back

My favorite sichuan (and overall) restaurant in San Diego. Less hyped than other places like spicy city, but I enjoy it better because it focuses on the food more than the ambience. Beef in dry pot, tofu dry pot, and fried spicy chicken cubes are my go-to dishes. Cold appetizers are also good, try the seaweed salad and pig ears.
Incredible life changing food. The cumin lamb is amazing. The ham hock was incredible. Definitely a place to take the family, and try a ton of food. Every time I visit I get something different, and it is all super delicious!

First I just want to say that it is not necessarily expected for Chinese service staff to be really friendly or accommodating, especially to white English speaking people...not because there is any intended rudeness, but because of language or cultural differences when it comes to restaurant etiquette, etc.
Having said that, the two waitresses that were on staff today were so nice and attentive and thoughtful. We loved their vibe.
This was my first time trying proper authentic Sichuan food after doing a ton of research on what to order (years of research technically, watching tons of channels on YouTube that cover this style of food), and although not every single item was made exactly as it might be traditionally made (the Fu Qi Fei Pian didn't have tongue, heart or tripe for example...it only had the thin slices of beef flank), I found that everything was very close to how it is made in China, or exactly as it should be.
We had the following (See pics with captions), and I recommend everything besides the stir fried potatoes (maybe there is a better way to get them than we did):
1. Mao Xue Wang 2. Shao Bai 3. Stir Fried Potatoes with vinegar 4. Fish & Tofu Mala (not sure of menu name) 5. Fu Qi Fei Pian 5. Special Sweet Rice Ball Soup (Dessert)
Everything tasted high quality and truly awesome. The portions were gigantic and definitely intended to be family style. We went crazy and spent $100 for the two of us, with drinks, and still had so much food left over that they had to put everything in a big cardboard box lol.
Oh and the weird looking fish eyeballs/egg soup looking thing is so strange but so lovely. We asked for a dessert and we were thinking we would get some kind of small piece of Chinese dessert like they do in America and other countries, but instead they brought out a steaming hot bowl of something I can barely describe (see pictures), but it was genuinely awesome and such a new experience for sure. Highly recommend trying it. You'll just have to see for yourself.
Can't wait to go back and try more. They have a gigantic and intriguing menu.
