Great crystal shrimp dumplings & soup dumplings. Large menu and offerings including lamb, Hunan dishes, and whole fish. Great to see authentic > Americanised. Glass noodles in chili sauce, pickled vegetables, pea shoots, mapo tofu, and dry green beans were fantastic too. Pleasantly surprised to find decent authentic Chinese food in PVD. Calm place with booths and parking outside.

Special place. Providence has a lot of hidden gems but this is probably the best there is. My favorites are cumin lamb, chongqing chicken, smoked duck, and garlic ribs.

Ambiance is typical Chinese American, but the food is definitely not. This is authentic Szechuan mala just like you would get in Cheney province PRC.

Truly great Chinese food. not the typical "American Chinese food", but proper, authentic Chinese food. Careful with some dishes as such, as they are properly hot, like real Sichuan food is supposed to be.

I think people confuse this restaurant with another one with the same name but different locations. Because when I walked in I was surprised by the ambiance that is bright and spacious. There is no red light like I saw in the reviews. I don't know if the restaurant renovated or the photo is for a different restaurant, my experience was great here. Very good food and very friendly service, which is not very common in Chinese restaurants. Such a good experience!! I absolutely loved the food. It is not very spicy even though it's Sichuan style. I'm sure you can ask for more spicy, but standard taste is good for me. There are too many things I want on the menu, I plan to go back very soon and try other dishes.

You wouldn't expect Providence to have Chinese food that blows away any Chinese restaurant in Boston. But here you have it!

The food is so hot and delicious. The schechuan food is what we come here for mostly! We love the Chong qing diced chicken, Dan Dan noodles, sesame noodles, eggplant in garlic sauce, fish braised with cabbage and leeks, mapo tofu. Yum yum yum.

Ordered a Singapore noodle. Terrible. The rice noodles were dry and raw... There are better Asian restaurants around but surely not this one. This is my second time to be there ; always disappointed
I like the smoked spicy duck, the pork rib and the beef tofu soup.

The service was horrible. Ambient dead. The price not consistent. I ordered same thing to go @ ~ $18 few days prior and eat in was ~$30. I was in a hurry to leave to question such discrepancy, also I didn't want to engage with the angry and extremely cold and rude lady. Too bad because the food was pretty good!

Unassuming location but amazing Szechuan food. Our favorite dishes include Xiao Long Bao(Soup dumplings), Dan-Dan Noodles, Cumin Beef, Hot Pepper Chicken and their Hot & Sour Soup is easily the best I've ever had. You know when a chinese food place is good when there are chinese folks eating there, and there are some eating there every time we've dined in there.

The food was okay but it didn't stand out at all. I might be a little more critical because of the great reviews this place has but I need to realize that people will like Chinese food just because of the location of a place. We ordered takeout and the crab Rangoon had a rubbery texture, the lo mein had no sauce and not much chicken. The general tso and chicken dumplings were good but average at best.
Food is good but overpriced and poor customer service.
