Jacob

“Really great Sichuan food. The food here is authentic, they make their own chili oil in house. The spiciness was very well balanced with the flavor. Had the stir fried chicken with heavy peppercorn, green beans, and jelly noodles and it was all delicious.”

Grace

“A really delicious gem of a place! My friend and I went here a few days ago and ordered the dumplings, eggplant, twice fried pork, and the spicy fish. The food was excellent and at a very reasonable price, and we had a ton leftover. “

Kirstin

“Authentic Sichuan food for spicy food lovers! Highly recommend the spicy lotus root, lamb dish, and spicy wontons. Everything is very seasoned and super flavorful so you should get a bowl of rice to compliment the dishes.”
