"I recently dined at this restaurant located in castor ave, and overall, I had a pleasant experience. The restaurant offers a cozy ambiance and the quality of their food was impressive. However, I did encounter some communication issues with the server, which slightly affected the dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, creating a comfortable atmosphere to enjoy the meal. The decor was tastefully done, incorporating traditional Chinese elements that added to the overall charm. The food served at the restaurant was delicious and well-prepared. I opted to try the best sellers, but unfortunately, due to the language barrier, I encountered some difficulties in communicating my preference to the server. As a result, I ended up ordering noodles, which were still tasty but not the original dish I had in mind. While the service was generally fine, the server's limited English language skills made it challenging to convey my specific choices. Though they were polite and attentive, I would suggest that the restaurant considers providing English-speaking assistance to facilitate better communication. In conclusion, this Chinese restaurant offers a delightful ambiance and delectable food. However, it's important to note that there might be communication challenges if you don't speak Chinese, and it's advisable to clarify your order using simple and direct language or explore the available alternatives for assistance. Despite this minor setback, I would still recommend giving this restaurant a try for the flavorful cuisine and enjoyable dining atmosphere." I hope this review helps!

It was the first time I saw grilled fish like this. I didn’t like the appearance. I took a bite and it was so salty that I drank a bottle of water. I couldn’t taste anything other than salty. There were very few side dishes and everything on the surface was Shredded ginger, I don’t eat shredded ginger, so I had to pick them up one by one and throw them into the trash. When I saw such grilled fish, I had to add side dishes and soup to buffer the saltiness. I really didn’t dare to patronize it again. Just this once, never again...

The boss has changed, and the chef should have changed as well. The spicy chicken with bones that I ordered before was very good without breading. Now the breading is thick and generous, but the spiciness is all that of chicken breast. The same goes for the couple's lung slices. I ordered a piece of meat and it was still fishy. I went there four or five times a week before.

This restaurant has hole-in -the-wall vibes. It's in a slightly sketchy neighborhood, but in the inside feels like a different world. Parts are nicely decorated, but there's also Xmas trees for some reason. The food tastes very good and authentic. That being said, I asked for less spicy because I'm a weenie with spicy food, so I don't know how spicy their food gets. But they get the numbing flavor right. My favorite was the clear noodles with chili sauce. They were fresh, slightly spicy, sweet, squishy, chewy, and well balanced.

Very rude and made me and my boyfriend feel uncomfortable when we enter the restaurant. I didn’t feel welcomed. When my boyfriend said hello, the lady at the front said Yeah what you want, not hello back. So we were just looking at her and she said you don’t speak English. Then I ask to be seated she said oh this is not a Chinese America Restaurant, I knew that already! So we just left after that. I'm a food vlogger I like to make videos of food I try and share with people. This is a shame! I really wanted to try their food. I'll just go to another Szechuan Restaurant. I'm not sure if she acted like that because we were black but this unacceptable !!!!

Delicious Sichuan cuisine, the waiters are also very considerate, and the environment is clean. The delivery speed is also very fast, and most importantly, the price is also very cheap. Things are very expensive now. But the prices here are really cheap. There are also non-spicy dishes for kids. Great for family gatherings with kids. The fried noodles are also delicious. After eating one, I ordered another. The same goes for the spicy chicken. After eating one portion, I will pack another portion when I leave.

I didn’t like this restaurant, the sushi that I took and after trying a little I wanted to change it, but they did it with great difficulty, after taking another dish instead, I found it was included in the bill , the service is terrible, the waiter argues, not polite, I didn’t get any pleasure from anything, I just spoiled my mood and the evening. The dishes that were returned were included in the bill and in general nothing is clear in it, a lot of manipulations, after all the disputes with the waiter, the returned dishes were deleted. I don’t advise you to go and spoil your mood and the more health
