I used to like their food. None of the food I bought recently tastes as good as before. Maybe it's a different chef.

I don't know why I waited so long to try out this place. Me and my wife suddenly craved for Dan Dan noodles after our recent trip to NYC. We immediately googled where we can get one in Rochester. This place popped up. We go to Park Ave very often but always missed this place. We ordered Dan Dan noodles and Mapo tofu. Both the dishes were delicious. I personally feel it could have been spicier but they were packed with flavors. Definitely the best Chinese food we had in Rochester. We had to pick up our order as they don't do Dine-in yet.

Good Chinese food with a huge menu. Great Schezuan options. A great option for Chinese and one of the best in Rochester. Definitely worth trying.

Tried something new this time and bought the chicken garlic sauce style and side of fried rice. The fried rice wasn't amazing but the chicken was sooo good! And as always, I love the pan fried dumplings. Yum! Update: We order again last night and bought several "new" items. We bought the beef garlic sauce style, pork lo mein, pork fried rice and wonton in chili sauce & they were all so good! Wonton's were spicy when eaten solo but mix in with rest of items, more tolerable. My boyfriend and I love the dumpling dipping sauce and poured it over our plate, made it so much more flavorful. Also, side fried rice is bland but pork fried rice was delicious. All of it was delicious. Highly recommend.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and I finally got the chance to. They are currently offering takeout and delivery only. If you go inside to order takeout, they have set up their lobby area with a window to order takeout. It's also a nice place to wait for your food to be ready, as the lobby has a nice little fish pond. When we ordered, we were told our food would be ready in 10-15 minutes. It was ready even faster than that! Everything was packaged well for carrying it home without anything spilling, which was impressive given that one of the dishes we ordered came with lots of potentially messy sauce. Everything was delicious and tasted authentic. We ordered the cucumber and garlic appetizer, chicken with needle mushrooms, and Mapo Tofu. The two main courses came with rice. Everything was delicious! The portion sizes were generous for the price, and we had enough to eat leftovers for an entire other meal. I would recommend this place, and I look forward to trying more of their dishes.

Food is excellent, drinks are excellent, and the staff are are excellent. Awesome place for lunch or dinner. The bartenders are more than accomodating with whatever requests you may have. It's a place I love to frequent.

If you have to ask "is this food hot?", then it's probably too hot for you. If you look at their printed menu, there is a fire-spewing dragon right above the cumin dishes, which I would take as a gentle warning. Holy s**** was it HOT!!!!!! Unfortunately, it was dry, too. They take those hot red Chinese peppers that most szechuan places put in whole (as to make it easier to remove before eating), but not this place; they chop them up into small pieces, making it nearly impossible to remove all the tongue-burning pieces from the food. The garlic-style dishes are more like what Americans are used to (and aren't nearly as hot or dry).

One of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve eaten at ... not just in the Greater Rochester area ... lots of choices and really explores the flavors from the Sichuan province - particularly from Chengdu and Chongqing from the neighboring province. Dined in once (back when humans going to a place to sit down and eat was actually a thing) but since the pandemic have been picking up only ... I have to drive 15 min to go pick up since the upcharge on Grubhub and DoorDash is ridiculous! But it’s worth my time and gas ... Cumin Lamb is my personal favorite, usually accompanied by Diced chicken Chongqing and Mapo Tofu ... delicious!! I’ve introduced many to this wonderful place, most of whom are now diehards ... a gem!

One of the fancier chinese restaurants in Rochester. Pricey but you get what you pay for. Fantastic food ranging from classic Americanized chinese dishes to traditional Szechuan dishes. Worth checking out.

The pick up service is very covid safe and efficient. The Dan Dan noodles are amazing, definitely one of the best noodle dishes I've ever had!! The chicken dry pot is tasty too, had a nice variety of vegetables and other ingredients other than chicken. The garlic pork has a sweeter flavor and was good too. Definitely definitely get the Dan Dan!!!
Disclaimer..only got vegetarian food. Spring rolls were good. Veggie fried rice was ok..pretty much what you would expect from any restaurant. General tso tofu was disappointing..large chunks of tofu with bland sweet-sour sauce and 5 broccoli florets.

Very tasty meal. The dumplings were delicious. The chicken lo mein came in a portion big enough for 2 with a nice texture for the noodles. A pleasant surprise was the chewy pumpkin "pie" dessert treats, covered with sugar. Tasty fried spring rolls too. We really enjoyed the pork lettuce wraps as well. Very flavorful.

This is the place for authentic Chinese food especially the dry pots. They also offer several Chinese delicacies.

Pretty good, they are still only doing take out, no dine in option. I had the wonton soup and ma po tofu. The wonton soup was not what I was expecting, the broth is quite dark and a unique flavor, didn't love the broth. However, the wontons were delicious, those exceeded expectations. They were tender and full of flavor. The mapo tofu was also very flavorful, close to authentic, I'm actually in China flavor. I would recommend. I would definitely visit again to try more menu items and dine in.
