They don't seal your food in the bag when you order through food delivery. Mine came in a small open box with the eating utensils exposed and the food container. The delivery driver could have just helped himself. It almost makes you not want to eat it because you don't know for sure what happened during the delivery. They made it easy for me to decide the next time I order food.

My favorite dishes are the fried fish Sichuan style with green beans, hot and sour soup that you can't find better anywhere else, and lately , the boiled beef that comes in a fantastic rich red saucy broth that is wonderful with white rice. You can get that same fried fish dish, swapping out for a tofu or chicken.And I really love the tofu style as well. The beef chow fun is always good too.
this is my favorite place to get mapo tofu from!! it tastes very traditional and does not skimp on the szechuan peppercorn which i really appreciate. the portion is very generous as well; I'll get that and a big serving of rice then eat them out of a pot lol it's a very glorious experience. I've also had the wontons in chili oil and those were excellent ππΎ I'd highly recommend giving this place a try!! the staff are very friendly as well (: all around great place

Our group of 4 ordered all different plates. EVERY DISH was fabulous. The flavors were authentic and superb. My husband loves hot sour soup. He said it was the best he has ever eaten. Our waiter, Allen, was fun and efficient. I would highly recommend this place.

Their Orange Chicken is out of this world! No artificial flavors or coloring. The orange peel is edible and WOW if you want authentic szechuan this is your place. I dont get why people dont give this place 5* all the time. Their Mala Chicken is an experience. Their chow fun is fantastic. If you want hand pulled fresh noodles for your chow mean thats an option. Very authentic and doesn't care if the American palate can't handle it. Love it. 5* keep doing what you're doing. I will keep giving you my business.

Had a very nice lunch experience here with my grandsons. Food was outstanding and the portions were generous.
For the middle of the day, the place was pretty much empty but because they are in such a small complex, parking was difficult to find.
Based on the quality of the food and the high level of service I recommend them highly and look forward to dining there again when the opportunity comes. π₯‘

Mongolian beef was not good. Should not have been spicy or had bell peppers.

Stopped by today, Monday March 16, 2026 the restaurant was no more. No pictures on the windows or doors . . . peeking through the window saw only boxes and a ladder. The website looked active. Tried another Chinese restaurant down the road, won't be going back.

I have tried and tried to support and like this restaurant. Having been to Sichuan, China, many many times, I can say for certain that there is nothing here that is remotely like anything in Sichuan. Absolutely inedible food. Has this chef ever been there?? Does he/she actually know Sichuan food?? I don't it. Sorry, I've tried. I am done with this restaurant.

When getting Chinese takeout it should be a given that the sauce should ALWAYS come on the side. This was our 1st time there, we are normally Hong Kong loyalists but wanted to try something closer. It was my fault for assuming the sauce would be on the side and I was optimistic when I saw a container of sweet and sour in our box. Nope. The sweet and sour chicken had the sauce on the side but my honey walnut shrimp was drenched and I was unable to eat leftovers but luckily I was able to enjoy it as soon as I got home. My poor sons sesame chicken didn't turn out the same. It was not appealing and to him, inedible. I couldn't disagree really. It was swimming in the sauce and completely soggy. Why bother deep frying? Not my favorite sesame sauce either. Heavy on the vinegar.
The sweet and sour chicken wss delicious and the sweet and sour was very flavorful. Enjoyed the notes of the peppers with the sweet for sure.
The honey walnut shrimp was also delicious and super crunchy. Unfortunately one of my favorite things about eating Chinese food is the leftovers, even the ones a couple hours later. Again because the sauce was on the shrimp they didn't save well at all and made them not on gross the next day but a few hours later even.
The egg rolls and fried rice were mediocre.
We would definitely go back for the S&S and shrimp and be sure to ask for the sauce on the side for ALL of our dishes.

Food was on the good side but much different than Szechuan I've had in the north east and Seattle's international district. Mine was takeout. The cashier was busy but friendly.

I came here with my 2 buddies as one had recommended it. You instantly can feel thatβs itβs a small mom and pop restaurant with not a big staff at all, the interior is not all new and nice like some chains but thatβs what gives heart. The owner Iβm guessing I didnβt get his name was very nice and talkative very energetic and happy, the food came quick and we also were given tea. Iβm not usually a huge fan of Chinese food but man this stuff was good, we finished the soup and the fried rice and chow mein were amazing, my cashew chicken was so flavorful and my buddy also got some super good pork belly. Afterwords the owner told us about other local places for dessert and just talked with us. Great place and very good food.

Dan Dan noodles are very unique with their hand cut noodles a little thicker than I would have liked though. When I eat my Szechuan Dan Dan noodles, I want my mouth to turn numb and tingle like I'm sucking on a 9-volt battery. I didn't get any of that with this dish. Mostly just the oil and subtle flavors.
