I've been to nearly every top rated sichuan restaurant in New York, LA, Chicago, and countless other cities, and not a single one comes CLOSE to this place. Literally every dish is best-in-class. I cannot recommend it highly enough!!

I can tell everyone with 100% certainty that this is the worst Chinese restaurant I have ever eaten at. I took my child there for dinner. When my child sat down, we didn't notice there was some kind of sauce or residue on the chair—the hygiene is truly awful! The servers were sluggish and couldn't understand English. I asked for a glass of ice water, but she gave me plain water; I just wanted some ice, it was really frustrating!
The day after eating there, I had diarrhea. The ingredients at this restaurant are definitely not fresh! I only ate a little, and my child also ended up with diarrhea. I am 100% sure there is an issue with the food quality here. I will be reporting my experience to 311! I hope this serves as a warning to everyone: do not risk eating at this restaurant!

I ordered General Tso’s chicken. The vinegar-based sauce had a noticeable sour taste, which is normal and acceptable, but there was also a strong unpleasant odor beyond just sourness. Both my friend and I could clearly smell it.
We asked the staff to check, and they even smelled and tasted it themselves, but insisted there was nothing wrong. I’m not sure what kind of vinegar they used—it might have been an off smell from the sauce or possibly the chicken itself—but either way, the dish tasted bad and did not seem right.
On top of that, the middle-aged chef had a very poor attitude. He seemed unwilling to accept any feedback from customers, which is not the kind of attitude you expect in the service industry.
Overall, a very disappointing experience.

I really enjoyed the Master's Dry Chicken they had. One of the best places outside of Chinatown for Sichuan I have tried.

The food has very strong bleach taste. It’s the most obviously in their tap water but also in other dishes that’s not spicy. I think the spicy food doesn’t have the bleach taste simply because it’s covered up by the spice

Great food and nice people. But restaurant needs to pay attention to the restroom, the caulking in the sink has trumped block and dirty.

I ordered the fish fillet in garlic sauce thinking it would be sautéed like the chicken in garlic sauce, and it came fried. Due to a medical issue, I can’t eat fried food. When I told our server my situation, she very kindly offered to remake the dish sautéed for no extra charge. It came out so quickly and was absolutely delicious. I really appreciated the accommodation. I will definitely be returning!

The woman at the counter told me that my order would take 15-20mins but I satisfy there for over 40mins and when I checked with she was rude. When I finally got my take out, there was no utensils or napkins ppacked.
And the restaurant was very dirty.
Hands down best Chinese restaurant in Philly. Better than Chinese restaurants in Taiwan. In my 4 years here, the service lady near 60 years old is extremely nice and often helps me out.

At a farewell dinner, my friend and I ordered more food than we could eat. I asked for two takeout boxes, but they were so small that we had to ask for two more. There was still a lot left in one of the dishes, so I walked to the counter to ask for another box. A Chinese lady in her 60s suddenly yelled at me with a shocked face, “You already have four, and you still want one more?” I replied yes, because we had ordered a lot of food. She said, “Do you know in Flushing every box costs $0.5? Let me check!” Then she left me at the cashier, walked straight to our table, and started pouring the food we didn’t want into our boxes without asking. I quickly followed her and stopped her. We had paid over $100 for two people, including tips—long before asking for the boxes. But lady, you really don’t deserve any business, and I won’t be coming back again.
