You definitely don't go here for the atmosphere-you go for the food. It was a cold night and I was in the mood for some ma la flavors to get warm. I had seen this restaurant a couple of times so decided to give them a try. It is a small place, with four tables that seat four people, and a couple that seat two. One of the side walls is covered with printouts of a number of the dishes, which can be helpful for those that don't know what some of the dishes look like. There is only one person working both the register and the tables, so patience is appreciated here. Did I mention earlier that I was cold? We walked over from the parking lot under the highway (free on Saturday nights) and was very chilled by the time we entered. Cold and hungry, we ordered lamb with cumin and ma la pot chicken. My companion ordered snow pea tips and vegetable mei fun. To start, we split an order of pan fried vegetable dumplings. The waitress checked to be sure that we wanted all that food for two people-the ma la pot chicken alone is big enough to split between two people (or one VERY hungry person). Reassuring her that we wanted all that food, we settled down to wait. The dumplings came out first, and we are still trying to decide what the filling was comprised of. Carrots, cabbage and....daikon? Not sure, but it was delicious and increased our expectation for the rest of the meal. Next came the ma la pot chicken and I immediately understood why she wanted to confirm our order. I definitely was not finishing all of that in one sitting. The chicken had some lovely crunchy bits around the edges and while the dish itself is dry, the chicken was not. The ma la flavor filled my mouth and warmed my stomach. Lamb with cumin is a great dish to pair with rice, and half a bowl of rice was gone before I even blinked. My companion noted that their vegetable mei fun was flavorful and not oily although the snow pea tips could have been more tender. Overall, the meal was flavorful and a prefect choice on a cold night. I need to come back here and try out a couple more dishes that I usually order, and try a new one or two (spicy and sour potato, shredded???). Yes please!!

Maybe the best Chinese takeout I've had! Great dinner combo deals. Everything tasted fresh and spicy was actually spicy. Bursting with flavor. Will be a new regular here!

First off...why is it so hard to find asian restaurants or even markets around here?! Second, thanks to the staff for letting me know where we can find a market. Brought my dad along for my mini vacation and he wanted something to eat with rice, also picky eater. My parents ordered the spicy squid, fish and beef. 5 Grains is dad approved, even though I didn't eat much of it since it was too spicy. One thing I agreed with was that unlike the dishes back at home, it didn't feel greasy. They also do really well with spice, so if you're a weakling like me, you may want to order something else. I didn't know at the time, but the meals also came with rice. Cheap, stands out and tastes good is always a win in my books!

I eat tofu with garlic in many spots anywhere I go I work Uber so I’m everywhere and this place is by far my best recommended spot for tofu in garlic sauce great size portion just a little more veggies but that’s a preference things flavorful full of freshness spicy if you like spicy it’s a good amount I will be coming back for more food they seem to have a good authentic variety of food here
I had the home-style tofu, which was delicious, with tofu, broccoli, mushroom, and carrot in a flavorful sauce. I got it to go, the food was fresh and the portion was pretty good too. I would recommend this place.

I had a horrible experience, the vegetable lomen is too salty, and the chicken was RAW. I can't believe I just wasted my money. Don't do the same mistake.
