Location is easy to miss, but look for T-Mobile, they are in the same plaza. Huge parking lot in the back of the restaurant. Pro tip: Bring cash to save 10% off your meal! I ordered braised flounder filet and romaine heart in sichuan roasted chili sauce and cilantro, it was super tasty and spicy, as expected! It was a little pricey just because of how little amount of fish filet we got in the dish. Tons of sauce, enough for me to use and cook another meal the next night. It's a pretty big restaurant, great for big parties!

Can’t believe I didn’t notice this earlier. They have opened since Nov 2023. They are located across from the Home Depot on RT10 right next to the TMobile store. There is ample parking in the back and the entrance is only from the rear parking lot. The front entrance is decorative. I suspect many don’t know of this place. We had the Boiled whole fish. This was amazing! We finished it. Since it was just the two of us we order the sautéed cabbage. So good! They have free ice cream you can help yourself to. We need to go back there with more people so that we can try more things! Will be making this place our regular weekly outing. At least until we can try most of the items on the menu. They also have a private room.

Been here twice already and each time food AND service were great!When you go to any restaurant, you need to know what to order. Keep in mind that this is a "Szechuan"- style restaurant, so do NOT order soup dumplings (which is originally from Shanghai), Chongqing style dishes (although they're near each other, it is not in Sichuan), or any other dish that's not from Szechuan- they obviously will be bad!Recommended:Pork in Garlic Sauce (though this is under "Americanized dishes" it is an actual dish from Sichuan)- my favoriteChef Tan Broiled Whole Fish (烤鱼)- I've had many "烤鱼," the best from China (of course). This one is not bad, considering most I've had in the States were below subpar.Minced Pork w. Sour Pickled Beans- it's a stir fried dish that's slightly sour and mildly spicy. Not a fan of minced meat, but I enjoyed this.The only other "good" and "authentic" Chinese restaurant in the area is Chengdu 23 and I'm over that. Spicy Chef trumps them in both food and service! I'm glad something BETTER and closer finally opened. Will definitely return until I've tried all of the other dishes!Parking- spaces in front and back of establishment

I would give 3.5 stars. I tried only 4 dishes so far and I would say it’s average. Wouldn’t complain since the location is close by us when I’m craving for soup dumplings and spicy food. I personally love the fried fish fillet with spice but it’s too spicy for my family except me. The pork belly is good. The cilantro yellow fried beef is average, just coz I need to order something not spicy for my younger kid. The soup dumplings don’t have much soup inside. I think we’ll come back to try other dishes when we’re craving for spicy dishes again.

This place is great! The most amazing Chinese food I've ever eaten, hands down. The sliced beef with cilantro is one of my favorite dishes, anywhere, ever. HIGHLY recommend this place.Parking: Lot entrance a little hidden, lot is in back. An insane amount of schip laurels await.

Food is decent (meet the expectation) , service is fine, and the only little flaw is that the place is not outstanding. Overall is pretty good.

Heard there is a new Sichuan/Hunan restaurant in the area. It's a bit of a challenge to find it the first time (signage is small & the name on the sign is even smaller / next door to T-Mobile, across Rt 10 from Kam Man & Penang) Prior front door is blocked. Ample parking & redesigned entry is behind the building. Cuisine is not for the faint of heart. We ordered : - bamboo shoots - cucumbers - wood ears - lamb dry pot - Mao's pork - twice cooked pork - spicy shrimp - mapo tofu - mustard greens All very tasty ! Service is a work in progress. It annoys me to have entrees come out before all the appetizers do. Decor is pleasant but a bit random. An credible option in in the 'burbs

Cannot believe this restaurant was marked as authentic. As a Chongqing-ese, I could say most of dishes were not right. $32 “Chongqing style tilapia” was made from frozen tilapia fillet and the dish size was so small which costs less than $20 anywhere else. The other noodles were too bad and cannot believe they were labeled as Chongqing style. Lower your expectations if you just want to find an expensive place to eat.

If you're looking for delicious authentic Sichaun dishes, recommend getting the Soup dumplings, Mongolian Beef, Dandan Noodles, Scallion Pankcakes, Chef Tan Style Fried Rice, Shrimp fried rice, Sichuan Style Hot & Sour Glass Noodles and Vegetarian String Beans. Heat levels can be adjusted to your liking.

This restaurant feels like a hidden gem, the food was excellent as was the tea and the service.

Finally a really good sichuan restaurant opening in the area (and even finally a good restaurant at all opening in the area). I have been living in Morristown for 6 years and this is the first time i am really amazed by the taste and the quality of the cuisine. If you like spicy and sichuan food this is the place to go. I used to live in New York and have my selected addresses in Flushing, but this one is at least on par. I hope they'lll keep up with the same standard and continue to deliver the same quality iver time. The dry pot is excellent and the cilantro beef is really good. The fish is in general very good too.
