The most gross sweet and sour pork ever! My gf ate most of it and got sick later that night. After throwing up a few times, she finally felt a bit better. First time getting takeout there and won't go back ever! Terrible service and food, don't waste your time and money there.

Originally had high hopes for this place. Should have read the other reviews first. Never again.

Very disappointing. The dish was burnt. Looks like charcoal and very salty. Never again.

This place is truly a hidden neighborhood gem: excellent, spicy Sichuan comfort food restaurant hidden at the back of a small, run-down Chinese mini-mall and food court. Moderate prices considering the large servings (at least for takeout, I've never sat down to eat here). Best to order in Mandarin if you can. I think they prefer cash, but also accept PayPal. Tons of parking in a big lot in front of the mall.

I got the dinner set yesterday and I honestly can't say it's good. The meatball soup and the vegetables smell really funky. It stinks and I have to throw them away. I have no idea if that's what it should smell or something is wrong with the food. All I know is that I had the same dishes elsewhere many times and I've never smell such funky smell before. I personally won't order anything from this restaurant any more because I don't wanna waste my money on this kind of food.

Love this place. It's a bit hidden away in the mall but everything is fresh and tasty. We like the ribs especially

One of my favorite comfort food spots in Cupertino! I have been going here since before COVID-19, and the quality is always consistent. The chef is always so welcoming and excited to see return customers! There are so many choices, but my favorite dish is definitely the Chengdu special dumplings in chili oil--give me the option and I'll eat tens of these in minutes! Before COVID-19, you would be able to preorder a bunch of dishes for a large party and it would all be hot and fresh by the time you and your guests are ready to eat! Now, you can still have those dishes delivered to you, or you can pick up and meet the chef himself if you're lucky! Support a local small business and get yourself some AUTHENTIC Chinese food!

This is a small hole in the wall in the strip mall, blink and you'll miss as the font is pretty small on their sign board. Only take out. But their food is pure magic. THE BEST Chinese food I have had in a looooong time. Their stir fried silken tofu with chillies, the amazing eggplant in garlic sauce and chou mein are absolute dynamite, Cant wait to do their take out again.

My favorite traditional Chinese southwest food! Great value with big plate! I love their rice noodle and spicy chicken!
Great restaurant for authentic Sichuan food. Very nice chef who is very friendly and welcoming. He also catered for our local school staff appreciation events in the past many years.

Chef Z is a kid so respect for his buissness. that being said, he charges $35 for a slice of cake. Jesus. Go to a local grocery store and but a whole one for ten. Furthermore, this so called famous chef buys followers and makes fake alternative accounts to put some hate on himself. The food quality is poor, and doesn't sit right in my stomach. Sorry Chef Z, but hopefully you can improve prices and quality and I'll come back.

Tried this place out for the first time with high hopes given the rating and my love of Sichuan, hot and spicy. Cumin Beef was terrible. Beef was supposed to be dry stir fried, but it was like steamed or pre-cooked and microwaved; limp, soggy, and flavorless. Yuck! To add insult to injury, it gave me stomach ache and a light case of the runs. Needless to say, I will not be returning.

How can I even describe how magnificent this dinner was? I try to reserve my 5-star reviews for food that's like... life-changing and that's this like omg. We ordered dan dan noodles, string beans with the spicy garlic sauce, and dry fried red pepper spicy chicken. It was fast, ordering on the phone was so easy and friendly, and we sort of snuck in under the wire before they closed (they close at 7:30 not 9:00 -- yelp has it wrong). I was drooling the whole drive home and then we stuffed our faces until we had to lie down and never move again. I don't think we said anything else during the meal except "oh my god this is so good." AND it was enough food for two of us to have a full meal's worth of leftovers tomorrow. I'm honestly so thrilled with this meal I might cry.
