Had some dishes here unlike anything I've ever remembered trying before. I certainly won't forget the peppercorns that were in the fish and tofu stew it was just the right amount of heat but the taste was so unique. The sauce was so delicious I had them pack it up and added tofu and steamed a fish and had that dish all over again the next day. The lamb stir fry was also very good and something you normally don't get in your standard Chinese restaurant. Great spot.

The best Szechuan for those special occasions where you want to remember good food and a good time. A good time with family and friends.

Perfectly 3.5 stars- lol- IYKYK. There is no host when you walk in and not all staff speak English so please be patient. I didn't want to risk ordering to-go over the phone so I ordered on site, and pointed at menu photos to make sure I ordered the correct dishes. 1. Fish soup with pickled vegetables: delicious- survived piping hot for more than 20 min. It was carefully packaged separately in 2 separate quart containers with a third container for the delicate rice noodles. You don't want them soaking for too long, so this was very thoughtful of them. As good or better than any I have had. Wonderful slow burn that grows in heat as you eat. The broth is so warming and tangy delicious. I assume the fish was tilapia but don't quote me- very mild flavored and cooked perfectly. 2. Spicy Wood ear mushroom: the most powerful of the 3 dishes for flavor and heat intensity- be careful eating all those chilies! I could not get enough of the spicy garlicky seasoning and the mushrooms were perfectly tender. Must order for any mushroom lover. 3. Pea Sprouts- I know this is supposed to be a balancing dish and milder than the others, but it tasted like it had absolutely zero salt. I felt like I could've made this at home for 1/4 of the price. I was shocked that this dish was $17.99. Yes, there was a large amount of it, with a lot of garlic, but I couldn't really taste it in the sprouts. I ended up mixing the sprouts with the wood ear mushroom sauce which made it much more delicious. I wouldn't order this one again. I can't wait to come back here to try more dishes!

Very good Szechuan and other Chinese cuisine and if you pay using cash then give you a 10% discount even. Their menus have pictures and vivid illustrations to facilitate decision making. Also spacious area for dining that accommodates larger groups. Recommended if you are ever in SD looking for higher quality Szechuan cuisine!
