food is greasy and not fresh, maggots in soup, which they said was normal. lomein drenched in sesame oil.
Very authentic, most importantly, they have dishes from North China, Shandong. Must try the chicken and the stew. Dumpling is average.

Everything was delicious! The Dan Dan noodles weren't your typical, but ok. Could use a little more ambience. Service was fast and courteous.

The dish I ordered was plain and tasteless.
The service was POOR.
Overall, I had a very UNPLEASANT experience! So NOT recommended!
Here is what had happened.
When I was there waiting for my table, the waiter showed me to the table by the window and asked me to wait for him to clean the table,. I did. However, after he cleaned the table, two guests who were eating at the next table wanted the table by the window. The waiter immediately let them move to the table without checking with me. Excuse me? I was standing and waiting right there. And then he let me use the table the other two left! I was surprised they were all so rude! I felt like I was treated as a lower priority customer at that moment!
This already ruined my dinner mood before I even started. I was thinking of leaving immediately!!
The owner and waiter should understand and learn how to respect every guest!
I am NOT going back to this place. NOT recommended!

Two foodies recommended this restaurant recently. Was happily surprised today with my takeout. What I liked was the spice was to accentuate the taste of food itself and texture was cooked just right.

The new hot spot for Sichuan food in BrooklineFood:For apps- Szechuan steamed homemade pork dumplings, wontons in chili oil, hot and sour soup, dan-dan noodlesFor entrees- MUST try the Szechuan hot sauce style with chicken, it just melts in your mouth and is packed with spice and flavorAlso recc the kung pao chickenWouldn't recc the diced chicken with chili pepper- it was too dry and mostly fried batterOther:Friendly staff, fast serviceFamilial touch to the ambianceTLDR;Come here for a satisfying authentic Sichuan meal in the Brookline area

I can honestly say that this is one of the worst restaurants I have been to. Atmosphere is aweful, prices are insanely high and the food tasted like a bucket of salt and MSG. Please do not go here.

Been here for 5 times and I highly recommend this place as one of the best Szechuan restaurants in Boston. Offering generous portions, delicious food and great value for the price. Beware: Dishes might be too spicy for some people.

I had remarkable meals last year at this restaurant. You can smell the authenticity of Sichuan as soon as you entered the small diner with the distinct aroma. Then it all changed since I’d say summer, the same dishes no longer taste the same (spicy but no flavor at all, the familiar aroma in the air is also gone, you can tell it’s a sort of fake ‘gourmet’). We didn’t want to give up on it and went few more times thinking we might have hit at bad time until we concluded it was consistently bad. Very disappointed, not going to return again for sure.
