The fried rice noodles are very good, they are made from wet rice noodles, loved the texture.

Apr 2024:Family style dining with a nice open environment to enjoy a meal independently or with a big group. The spicy food feels good and not too overbearing but be prepared. Appetizers are quite delicious and had crispy crab rangoon with a yummy dipping sauce.

Really good food. Fast and pleasant service!

Food was less than mid compared to what I’m used to and was bland. Ordered fried rice, beef sticks, soup which were all bland. The lady at the front was kind of yelling at everyone which was a turn-off as a customer. Thankfully, I won’t have to eat from here again.

Great restaurant for Sichuan spicy chinese food. Recommend Hot and spicy fish fillet, Mopo tofu or eggplant with garlic sauce. Vegeterian options are many. Its on the mass ave and some street parkings are available by chance.

Pretty solid but on the expensive side. The orange chicken was surprisingly good - light crisp and tender chicken. The double cooked pork was standard, pretty low on meat and diluted with leeks. The scallion pancake portion was nice. Tendon and tripe weren’t as tender as the other five spices location. The beef chow foon was surprisingly good- noodles very bouncy and good flavor.Server was pretty rude and not very friendly

The pork buns were disappointing :( barely any actual meat, almost entirely dough. tofu was good though

Great food at a good price - especially the $12 lunch deal! Recommend sharing a few dishes with friends as the best way to explore their menu. Much of the food is essentially various proteins in the same sauce, but it's a great spice level (not 'American spicy'). Great for students. Don't expect stellar service, but they're efficient and pleasant.

Great go-to place for a chinese meal.I usually get a dry-pot here which is sold by the weight of the food of your choice. You can also choose the spicy level which allow you to bring friends with different spicy-eatting-level there.The service was okay. The waitress could understand some english, but not all. We asked for how big is the fried rice, but she answered that there are chicken, pork, beef, and shrimp available. That's fine by us, the dish came in large enough for 3 adults.The restroom was clean.
