Fantastic value, ordered 24 dumplings + scallion pancakes for gramma and me… We had 16 dumplings leftover because we were so full. Family loved the rest.

Best Sichuan food in the San Mateo area!! Be adventurous and try it out. Dumplings in Spicy chili oil were super tasty. Numbing beef tendon appetizer too, very yummy. Must try deep fried fish filet with chilis and cold noodles. Great food and ambiance.

I don't often write reviews. And usually barely read them. Most the time it's people complaining about expecting Michelin service at a hole in the wall, or stupid stuff like "if I fly to Japan I can get a better bowl of ramen", But am leaving this review for one thing only. Potstickers. Whoever makes them and cooks them here is top notch, a king/queen amongst us. I like many other restaurants for many other things. But the potstickers here are so damn good- not too much dough, light fry with almost no burn, it's *chefs kiss* and the tangy sauce (soy with vinegar? I have not reverse engineered) they sometimes include with delivery is fantastic as well. There are other good dishes here eg the spicy beef tendon and couples delight appetizers also very good, since they include veggies with it. But seriously the potstickers (quo tie) here, try them.

Be careful with your bill. They overcharged on an individual dish compared to what was written on the menu. They changed it but I overheard the server telling the owner than yet another customer caught the discrepancy, meaning this wasn't the first time and they are definitely aware of it but didn't make any changes. They included a 15% mandatory service charge. We only had 2 people in for lunch. Service non-existent. Water cup was empty for 15mins and was never refilled. Ordered noodle soup and bento box. Food was way salty and portions were small on the bento. Below average food quality.Bored chef decided to come out to dining room and entrance to stretch, further dampening a dreary atmosphere.

This is the place if you want authentic spicy Chinese food. Reasonable price for big dishes. Carefully packed food makes you worry free for driving pick-ups.

Tasty food, and friendly staff.! Adaptable to the level of spice requested.Seating and service was also quick and easy.
I ordered the spicy beef noodle through uber eats and the food tasted so unappetizing. The smell of the broth didn't smell right, i've had this before many times and it's never tasted like this before. It tasted like the broth was sitting for a while. My stomach hurts really bad from this, I don't think I would ever come back here. Disappointed and unsettling, needless to say.

Thanks to the owner Lisa. The MaPo Tofu is delicious. And ordered the delicious shrimp and chives wonton, and ordered extra frozen ones to take home for a tasty and healthy meal.

One of my favorite places to get an authentic Sichuanese meal in the entire Bay Area!! Super affordable and tasty. Would highly recommend their twice cooked pork and salted crab egg tofu. Highly underrated!

Really good Chinese, a bit different than the standard Chinese spot - Szechuan.The spicy fried chicken or spicy fried fish is worth it if you just got that. We usually go with the shredded garlic pork, spicy fish, fried rice, garlic eggplant. Got the Mongolian beef before as well. Super good - fresh, spicy, and delicious. Haven't tried the weird stuff but the go to's are always super good!

One of my favorite Szechuan places! Very unassuming but their flavors are all on point. Everything had layers of flavor.I hate it when you order beef noodle soup somewhere else and they just give you mildly flavored stock out of box with store bought noodles. The beef noodle soup here was really flavorful with soft stewed meat. Their mapo tofu and Chong qing fried chili chicken are both mouth watering and just straight up hits the spot when I'm craving Szechuan food.
