I have never experienced flavors like I have at this place. I loved the atmosphere and the service was superb. Highly recommend! Everything was delicious.

Tried the mapo tofu - wayyyy too salty and doesn’t taste authentic at all.

The service was fine, but the food didn’t quite match our expectations. The flavors were blander than one would expect with sichuan cuisine, especially given the pricing. The grandma potatoes was overhyped with very little to offer flavor wise. Parking in the area was also a bit challenging.

It tastes terrible to me as a Chinese person. For Americans who have never experienced authentic Chinese food, they might think this is what Chinese food is like. They’re not adapting the flavors for American tastes; they’re completely losing the spirit of Chinese food. All meat dishes taste terrible!!!

Long time customer that took way too long to review this neighborhood gem. I take friends here whenever I can.
Outstanding service that has always made me feel welcome even with strict dietary needs (celiac disease). They have a number of dishes that are consistently great and a fun selection of drinks.
Get their mapo tofu, cucumbers, chickpea curd, and grandma potatoes! You can't go wrong.

TL;DR: Food was mediocre, not actual Sichuan food. Service and staff were great.
This place doesn’t serve actual Sichuan food. The only dish that had even the slightest bit of classic Sichuan numbing peppercorn flavour were the Dan Dan noodles, and even then it only had the merest hint, like a memory of peppercorns. I unfortunately also fell a bit sick the next day after dinner, and I suspect it might have been the food. Nothing else we got was satisfactory, with the exception of the Chrysanthemum salad.
That said, the staff were good, and the service was prompt.

Food tastes BAD. Pork was dry, veggies dont have flavor, dan dan noodles have very mild seasoning compared to how it’s supposed to taste. And for all this, it’s priced higher than how much you pay at a typical chinese restaurant AND THEIR FOOD TASTES GOOD. To make it worse the portions are way smaller too. I’m never coming here again, such a waste of money

Food is very expensive for what it is. We got the twice-cooked pork belly, grandma’s mashed potatoes, chinese greens, and dan dan noodles. Unfortunately the seasoning on everything aside from the potatoes just felt off. The pork belly was also overcooked.
Was really excited to try this place, but the food was very disappointing. I ordered takeout — the Dry Fried Chicken and the Burning Noodles.
The Burning Noodles were just okay. The Dry Fried Chicken was not spicy at all and completely tasteless — definitely not qualified as Sichuan food.
I’m very curious how this place has a 4.5-star rating here. Also, the portions are small for the price.
*** I transferred the noodles to Tupperware.

We came here for Dining out for Life. What a fantastic place! The food was outstanding, served family style and comes out when ready, rather than small plate first, large plate second. Great use of Szechuan peppers in some dishes. The service was amazing! Our server was very personable and friendly.

I’m not an expert on Sichuan cuisine but their dishes were quite tasty. Portions are decent and they were meant to be shared. We ordered the Strange Flavor Cauliflower and Eggplant, the Dan Dan Noodles, and the Black Pepper Beef Short Ribs. Everything tasted good but the short ribs were outstanding! Service could have been better (nobody checked in during our meal) but they were quite busy. We look forward to coming back to try their other dishes.

I really want to be excited about this place, but the Sichuan style food here is far below average, the taste profile and texture is completely wrong and the food presentation is so sad.
