This is an underrated gem, especially when compared to the line waiting outside for the restaurant next door. While this place was full for the entire time we were there, we were seated immediately and there was a constant flow of people. Food was delicious, everyone was flavorful and well made. Our native Mainlander friend approved, so we felt confident in our choice. Don't skip the scallion pancake, eggplant in the clay pot, and chili oil wontons. They try to go high-tech with iPads and QR codes for the menus, but we weren't able to order digitally when we were there and had to call over a human.

Truly authentic Chinese Szechuan food. The menu offers a wide variety of choices. The food is delicious and flavorful. The lady at the reception is quite formal but ensured the takeaway was ready on time. They close promptly at 9:00 PM, and the last dine-in order should be placed by around 8:15 PM. Definitely worth trying if you enjoy Chinese cuisine.

Nice place for a reasonably priced casual meal. The hot plate beef was tender and piping hot.

Delicious food, fresh ingredients, hot off the wok, there are plenty of vegetarian options. I didn't get thirty after eating, which for me is a telltale sign that they didn't use MSG. Thank you! We really enjoyed our meal.

Vegetarian options: Fresh vegetables, tofu, dumplings

We went here by chance, we have come back a second time as the food was amazing, fresh, hot, amazing taste, and the price was bang on.
I highly recommend this place to tourists craving Szechuan style food.

Excellent flavorful Szechuan food. Outside looks unassuming but the food is really great. Recommend the pumpkin rolls. Mochi with some kind of crunchy outside. Served hot.

Vegetarian options: The tofu dishes were outstanding soft tofu without a rubbery exterior

Excellent food!
I enjoyed the dan dan noodles - could have been a little lighter on the sauce. The tofu and chives was delish (both foods are that texture so beware if that’s not your thing.) the crispy pancake thing was good, though I think a little excess soda.
The chicken in spicy oil was good - but I think fish is always the better option for this flavor combo (my dining partner doesn’t eat fish). Will try the spicy vermicelli next time.

Service was prompt - albeit order of food not always the most logical. Eg I don’t think noodles should come out first.

Clean and organized restaurant.

Parking: Go for a late lunch or early dinner. It’s convoy so weekend evenings are always busy.

Yum! Wish we could’ve ordered more but there was only two of us. What we did order (eggplant and pork, chili wonton, and steamed fish and tofu) were well done and I was excited to bring home leftovers. the chili wonton could’ve had some peanut flavors to make it really great!!

Next time will definitely try the red meats and spicy dishes! Maybe a noodle dish too :)

Had the Mongolian beef with a side of white rice. It was delicious. Will be coming back again for sure in the future.

Menu is massive. 50+ items. Can be hard to choose a dish but I'm certain most of the items on the menu are good.

The reviews on this place do not lie. It is definitely worth your time to check this place out.
