The restaurant itself is a bit modest and don't expect a fancy ambience. Disposable cutlery and simple furniture, but clean and homely. The food is phenomenal. I felt like I ate at someone's house. The ingredients were healthy and the preparation was also excellent. Not oily or salty, all the flavors were balanced. Extremely vegan friendly. We ordered mapo tofu without meat, stir fried broccoli, and veg lo mein. Everything was excellent. Owners were friendly. Seemed like a small family run place. Reasonable prices and huge servings. We had enough leftovers for next day's lunch.

Authentic Szechuan food, period. I miss the various regional cuisines I got to taste when I lived in mainland China, and this place is a hidden gem that delivers the same flavors and textures I tasted there.
We tried chef’s special roasted fish, eggplants with fish flavored sauce, and shredded potatoes with vinegar, steamed rice, and hot tea, which was a nice variety of spiciness, sweetness, savoriness, and sourness. All of them were done well. The eggplants especially were done in perfection with just the right amount and level of everything that goes in to this seemingly humble dish. Portions are generous.
One thing to note about this place is that, as the name suggests, it specializes in Szechuan cuisine that is known for its use of the numbing, spicy peppercorns. For instance, the “general” (which may seem to mean “mild”) version of the roasted fish is actually the default version of deep fried fish in rich broth with spicy chili oil. It still has higher levels of spiciness available. Same with the potato dishes—although it may look pale, it still carries a hint of the numbing flavor and sensation of the Szechuan peppercorns.
The dining atmosphere can definitely be improved, but you’d go to a place like this for the food, not necessarily for the ambience. Will likely return when I get a craving for Szechuan flavors.
Vegetarian options: They have plenty of vegetarian options. Make sure to ask to remove any default meat additions that some of the have (e.g., the eggplant dish). Some do, and some don’t.

Do not judge a book by its cover because while this place looks run down the food is directly opposite. Visiting from new york, I can confidently say that this authentic place is on par with some of the best chinese restaurants there. Do not hesitate to come try!
It's all about the food. A dimensional door to flavor. Lunch specials. Custom orders, yep, just ask.

The food was delicious. But, right after dinner I started to feel the side effects of MSG. As a rule I am not sensitive to the flavor enhancer, I even use it at home in my own cooking. So, a word of caution. BUT! I highly recommend the eggplant in fish sauce and the spicy cucumber salad. I thought the Mapo Tofu was weak.

Went in order. Ed sesame chicken and beef and rice The food I received was rotten. I believe they are paying for positive reviews to try and attract customers. But the truth is if you look at the reviews it looks like they might be all paid for that are good because the food was disgusting I'm literally discusted. I cannot explain it more if you're going to get this. I hope you read this . Do not eat rotten food
Drove by here on Saturday 6pm and it was not open. There is no sign indicating anything about it
Honestly not worth it, the poor chickens used to make this I'm so sorry.
