The potato chicken uses so many chili peppers. It is spicy and has no taste at all. The waiter's attitude was very unfriendly because it was too spicy for the tongue. I asked for ice cubes. The waiter said there was no one and he would never come back!

Nice little spot! If you dine in, there is water or tea that you can help yourself in. I recommend the soup and noodles.

I ordered "Fried Tofu with Spicy Sauce." The sauce was not spicy at all, which was surprising since this place bills itself as Sichuan style, which is supposed to spicy. I don't need my food to be ghost pepper hot or anything, but I was not expecting such blandness. It tasted kind of like a brown sauce, to be honest, and seemed like what you'd get at any random Chinese takeout place. I was expecting something more tasty, since when I walked in I saw the place was full of Asians. That's typically a sign the food is going to be good.Also, and I don't know if this is the way they cook tofu where they're from, but the tofu was the shape and size of pita chips, about 1/8" thick, and it was cooked so well done it was tough and leathery and had no flavor, really. It was interesting, but I prefer my tofu to be somewhere in between "just out of the package" and "tough and leathery".The brocolli was good, though. And the rice too.If I come here again, maybe I'll order online and get the shrimp lo mein.

Really good food with decent prices. I haven't tried too much here, but the chicken in garlic sauce, hot and sour soup, and egg drop with seaweed soup are fantastic. Small dining room, but the food is definitely tasty and worth many return trips! Simple menu but flavorful and a nice variety.

The YOUPO Noodles is so good and it’s VeganMy mom wanted it with chicken and I wanted it with Tofu but you can’t customize it so you get what you get but it’s good just how it is.Vegetarian options: YOUPO is vegan the rest you can customize.Make sure you tell the server if yogur ordering Mapo Tofu because it comes with pork but it’s not on the description on the menu so make sure you tell them no PorkSame with Rice Noodles it comes with eggs.

I come here weekly. Easily the best and most authentic Chinese available in the area, and definitely the only place I've found for northern Chinese dishes. Not only is the food amazing, but it's always lively and comfortable, with lots of customers enjoying their meals and chatting. The woman who serves and runs the counter is SO nice and helpful, always good service here. She goes out of her way to make sure everyone is seated comfortably and has enough room. She has always insisted that I get a whole table, even when they are very busy and I'm eating by myself, rather than stick me at the counter to eat. I have never felt rushed to finish my meal. The prices are also extremely reasonable.Everything is so great but highly recommend the 大盘鸡 (spicy stewed chicken with potatoes) , 鹏子干拌面 dry noodle with minced pork , and the pork Chinese burger. The soups are very good.Water is provided cold or hot as well as tea bags. Other drinks are also available for extra charge.They are cash only, so bring some!

We had the Chinese pork burger, cumin lamb, pork dumplings, and spicy chicken with potatoes.The spicy chicken with potatoes is huge. You definitely could share between 2 or 3 people. The pork burger and cumin lamb are very good. I would recommend ordering them.Vegetarian options: Most items have tofu as an option

Best Chinese I’ve ever eaten. Was with a dear Chinese friend. The Chinese hamburger was a delightful surprise. Everything we had we shared. What a fun experience. The Lamb soup was delicious. The fried dumplings were great. Some of the dishes pictured I don’t remember the names of. I highly recommend. The prices are reasonable and flavor and freshness of the food is unbeatable.

I stopped in for a late lunch. I got the pork burger and the cumin beef. The burger was awesome. The outside was crispy and the pork inside was juicy and flavorful. The cumin beef was flavorful with a good sauce. Well balanced. It did have a little spice if you are sensitive. It came with white rice. The server was polite and helpful. There are tables if you want to eat there but I got it to go. Would definitely go again.
