This place has been ony list for a long time. We visited it a few days before Christmas, and overall experience was pretty good- I'd give 4.5 Atmosphere is just average. Tables and chairs, no special decorations Service was pretty good and food came out with good pacing We ordered 5 dishes- 1 of them really excellent (couple beef); 1of them pretty good ("water cooked beef", beef with chili sauce); 2 of them good (zhong dumplings with chili oil& fish and tofu with vegetables); 1 of them ok (Dan Dan mien) Our favorite was the "Couple beef" with beef slices, tripes and tendons in chili oil/ sauce with lots of cilantro. This is my favorite Szechuan dish and I've had it in many places across the country. I can say this was one of the bests- aromatic beef, and complex flavoring with the chili oil (not just salty and oily). The quality & proportion of meat and tripe were also good. Beef in spicy chili broth was great in flavors- I just like it better with bigger pieces of Napa cabbage.:) Fish with tofu was a little salty but it was cooked well. Dandan mien was fine, but nothing special I'll definitely visit again if I'm in the area!

Food was immaculate. If you are searching for authentic Sichuan Cuisine this is the place to go. The Sizzling beef with black pepper was one of the best beef dishes I have ever had. The combination of the beef and the spicy oil was perfect at Medium Spice. Just enough to give you a burn but not too spicy. The soup dumplings with the orange chili oil was addicting as well it was nice and hot and had a great burn along with it. The Service was quick and had recommendations for food and had pictures if you were unsure. The pricing was a little more on the expensive side but the portions are decent. 100% is my favorite place to go to for Chinese Cuisine.

Very great food. Well worth the wait. Noodles, shrimp dish and dumplings were so good. The sidelong beef plate was a little too oily for me but still really good flavor. Favorite was the been noodle dish (can't remember what it was called.

We've been wanting to try Masterpiece for a long time, but it's not close to us. Finally tried it & loved it! I read a lot of the yelp reviews and had a few things i knew we wanted to order & was ready for a menu with no descriptions. Our server was so lovely - i told her it was our first time & that one of us could not do spicy. She immediately went & grabbed an ipad with pictures of the menu items & recommended ones that were not spicy for my daughter. She loved her non-spicy noodles! Our hands-down favorite was the eggplant with the cilantro & peppers. We also had boneless fried chicken with peppers that was the perfect amount of heat.Black pepper beef had a great flavor & a nice sauce. Dumplings were delicious. They refilled water frequently since they clearly know you need it with the heat. Will definitely be back.

One of the few but best Sichuan restaurants I have been to! They have plenty of seating, their food will make you want to eat more. The furniture is a bit outdated. The service in my opinion could be a bit better, as the ladies are sometimes rude. But the quality of the food makes up for it. When they are busy they are forgetful; i ordered a Diet Coke and she forgot to bring it out so i had to remind her. I ordered the Kung Pao tofu, vegetable noodles. Mapo tofu w/o pork and vegetable fried rice. EVERYTHING was so flavorful with garlic and spices. Let me warn you food can be SPICY! So it's important to let the waitress know your spice tolerance. Not pictured - we ordered the eggplant with chili powder and pepper ash powder. This also had sichuan peppers, if you are not familiar with this, just be prepared for your taste buds to tingle and go numb for a bit. It's not as dangerous as it sounds, but you can sense the power that these tiny little peppers have!
After reading multiple reviews, we decided to give Masterpiece a try. Overall good experience - service was attentive and helpful although I'd prefer a slower pace - the dishes were brought almost too quick. Let us finish our dumplings before bringing the other items we ordered. 3/5 Speaking of ordering, we had: Dan dan noodles - cold and spicy but a bit too soft/overcooked. 3.5/5 Zhong style dumplings- solid 4/5 Eggplant w chili powder - like eggplant fries, nothing special and a bit too dry 3/5 Veggie fried rice - a bit bland but nice l, fresh ingredients 4/5 Fu Qi Fei Pian - a winner. Spicy, chewy, numbing 4/5 Sliced Cumin Lamb - very flavorful 4/5 Ambiance is strip mall typical 2/5

I was a regular customer here a few years ago, but after the plague, it was almost impossible to eat here. Not to mention the taste, the chili peppers started to use Mexican chili peppers. The soul of making Sichuan and Hunan cuisine chili peppers, you can also increase the price, and save some portion. How can I save money on peppers? There are also various photos hanging all over the house claiming to be famous chefs, showing no elegance or style at all.

The dishes we ordered taste good, very authentic Chinese/Sichuan food! The only downside of our dining experience was at the end of our meal when the waitress with a pony tail brought the check to us, we were paying in cash, which she even mentioned there’ll be a 10% discount with cash. She took the money, and immediately returned back to us and said “The changes are only $6ish, do you still want them back?” I was shocked by her behavior, as technically we should get way more $$ back after they apply the 10% discount. Since we were there on Thanksgiving, and I didn’t want to ruin the holiday dinner with my family, so I just told her “you may keep it” and she didn’t even provide a receipt to us. Well, we like the food, so we were originally planned to leave a decent tip anyway, but her way of demandingly asking for it out loud just sounded very desperate and unprofessional and made us feel a bit uncomfortable. Hope the management will be aware of such issue and provide proper trainings to their employees.

If you are Black please do not frequent this establishment.During my trip there they didn’t seat us until another couple came in that was not black then seated us.Did not give us menus.And took forever to give us our drinks.At this point we decide leave, we are of course going to pay for our drinks.The lady at the back starts screaming at us … you PAY FOR your drinks repeatedly as if we were thieves when literally all we did was stand up.This was an all around ridiculous and horrific experience.Please stop the Hate and the Assumptions.
