Excellent food, portion sizes and service!
The restaurant came recommended from friends, and it didn't disappoint. There is a huge variety of authentic Chinese dishes, and everything we had was very good. Service was a bit slow, but we were there during a slower time when staffing was lower.
Review based on initial visit for lunch. Ordered off the lunch special menu — General Tso’s chicken with hot and sour soup, steamed rice. Lunch is served with a pot of hot tea. Food was well prepared, tasty and good portion size. The hot and sour soup was really spicy — I like it; but some might opt for the (no red pepper) egg drop or won ton soup. I never order fried rice on a first visit — try the steamed rice: if this is of decent quality and well prepared, the restaurant’s food is likely to get a 4 or better rating. Physically handicapped accessible from parking lot — ramp at side entrance. Street entrance has a step. I’ve tried several Chinese restaurants in Worcester and this is the best one so far, and the only one offering a range of Szechuan dishes. 12/16/24 - raising my food rating to a 5. For Worcester, best Szechuan I have had in the city. 06/15/25 - Father’s Day lunch —- great food! I brought my own bag of puerh tea to enjoy with the meal.
PS — the food is so good here that my wish would be that they offer both green and ripe puerh, lightly smoked lapsang souchong, and several varieties of oolong to pair with various dishes.
Decent Szechuan Chinese. Good flavor. Good portions and pricing.
The serviced sucked. We will never go back
We've been their customer since they started in Framingham. They do server very authentic Chongqing cuisine which some of the specialty dishes are not available in other Sichuan restaurants. That's the main reason we come here. So if you come here for American Chinese food or lunch combo, you may find those to be not as good as a takeout restaurant. :)
Great good, great price, didn't have to wait too long for the dishes to be served.
Wanted to love it. Unfortunately, we ordered takeout, and the order was incorrect. Instead of pork, we got Jell-O like tofu with a slippery consistency in a brown sauce. Wonton soup was OK, but lacking in flavor. Would not recommend.
I wish I took photos! The spicy wontons … amazing. The dumplings, wonderful. The rice/ noodles, good flavor, but I wish they would devein the shrimp to make the dishes more appetizing, something about shrimp poo just isn’t appealing. But everything we had was tasty! Definitely would go back. The General Tso Chicken and Shrimp were both delicious. The Beef fried rice was tasty. The spicy wontons though were the highlight! Would go back just for those alone.
Great selection and tasty food plus value

The only good Chinese food in Worcester, even better than the Chinese food in Boston... The Chinese just go for it.
Recommend the Sichuan style eggplant (I must order it every time I go), stir-fried duck with ginger, green beans, and garlic pork ribs. Just eat it?Chinese people don’t lie to Chinese people! ! ! Real-name system recommendation
When will the boss open takeout? I was so greedy that I opened Google Maps and gave a good review to quench my thirst...

Phenomenal. We had: house lo mein, duck, general tsos shrimp, orange chicken, lamb hot pot, ants climb a tree, a fried chicken dish (pictured on front of menu), a fish dish, goat... We were at a large table with lazy Susan and everyone shared. It was all amazing.

Very bad experience! The servers were very rude. The boneless spareribs we ordered with very very sweet and barely had any taste. General tao’s chicken left a weird after taste which made my friend throw up literally!! Wonton with spicy sauce was soggy. Iced tea tasted like water with food coloring. We weren’t even served water like how its usually done in dine in restaurants. Deep fried chicken with dry peppers was the only edible food from our order. Paid $70 for the worst Chinese food experience ever and had to pay automatic gratuity for being treated so rudely. Would never go back and wouldn’t recommend to anyone either.
