Authentic Sichuan food. Spicy and numbing. And a bit salty but will do good with some ice cold beer.

Probably worst meal we have ever had. Dry popcorn chicken covered in hot peppers - it seemed to be fried chicken skin. Kung Pao Shrimp - undercooked shrimp and horrible after taste. Waste of money

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in all of Chinatown and Chicago. The food is actually authentic and oh so mouthwateringly good. Unlike some places they clearly go the extra distance to bring us authentic Szechuan flavor that you can otherwise only get in China proper. And the prices are very reasonable too. Can’t recommend enough!

My girlfriend and I were in the mood for Szechuan last night, so we naively ordered delivery from here after reading that it's one of the best in Chicago. Safe to say you're better off ordering from literally anywhere else. This was the most disgusting, vomit-inducing Szechuan/Chinese food we ever ate. It was so awful we flushed it down the toilet and found food elsewhere--something we've never done before because we value not wasting food. The only somewhat-edible dish (Szechuan Popcorn Chicken) was 70% dried chili and 30% tiny dry bits of (probably frozen) breaded chicken. The food was so disgraceful it honestly should count as criminal fraud.

Disillusioned reflections on life's worn-out script

Update:I guess things have really changed!!! Not great and not even good. Biggest issue, we received 2 incorrect dishes than what was ordered. Portions were smaller and food was very sloppy.Hot & sour soup was very smoky, almost burned tasting.9 months ago: Our family voted, best Szechuan restaurant in the country!After trying several across the US over the past few years, this is a gem for Chicago. You don't want to miss it.The food here is hot, fresh, and loaded with flavor!

The dishes here is very authentic and they really offer the good taste of Sichuan food. As a person who like spicy food., this place literally save my tongue. The waiter there is super nice and very considerate. Definitely would come back again for the food.

The dishes are all delicious and very in line with Chinese tastes, and the blind spots are not a big problem when you close your eyes. Haha, and it’s not as salty as the average Chinese

Food tasted incredible (my photos are bad because we devoured everything too fast). Especially recommend the mala dry pot and sesame noodles. They were also able to accommodate the seafood and peanut allergies as well as vegan/vegetarians in our
