★★★★☆ 4.0 Andy Liu · Sep 2025

Rating: 8/10 Date Last Visited: 9/7/2025 We ordered the String Beans ($15), Lotus Root ($15), Braised Pork in Mao’s Style ($20), Chongqing Style Fried Chicken ($20), Fish ($22), Cabbage ($14), Scallion Pancake (free from leaving a review), Braised Spare Ribs ($22), and Eggplant ($15). All the meat entrees were delicious - the braised pork was fatty and savory, the fried chicken was fried well, the fish was flavored well from the soup, and the spare ribs had great texture and taste. The veggies were also solid - my favorite being the eggplant and cabbage. Even though they’re simple, they’re cooked so well and taste amazing. They let you spin a wheel for a free appetizer if you leave a review, so we had a scallion pancake that was standard. The portion sizes are pretty decent for the size.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Ph Linh Ng · Nov 2025

The food is good but a bit of higher price. We come during dinner time but the first floor is quite vacant. The food is well-seasoned and feel authentic to me. We come back for the beef noodles. Expect the actual price to be much more than the one listed on the menu (the tip percentage + tax is high). The portion is decent.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Cee Que · Nov 2025

Pros: the mapo tofu was good, nice flavor and not overwhelmingly spicy. Nice decor and atmosphere inside the restaurant. Cons: jellyfish appetizer was too tough to eat, disappointing. Wait staff took the order and disappeared. Had to get up out of my seat (after waiting a long time) and look for someone to get my check. The woman who rang me up grumbled and scowled as she did so. Haven't encountered 'service' like that in quite a while (fortunately). Overall: wouldn't recommend. Plenty of other Schezuan restaurants in the area with better food and service.

★★★★★ 5.0 Kevin Zeng · Mar 2025

Good food. Hot pot or just dishes of sichuan style meal. Inside is well decorated and clean. Here is the deal. You leave a 5 star and get to spin the wheel for a freebie but my 5 star is well earned. Food is delicious. The portion is generous with quality produces. I love the tofu dish. Service is great. They come along and ask how we doing all the time.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Jennifer · Apr 2025

The food was good, and the lunch special was a great deal. We also ordered extra veggie fried rice, which was tasty. I loved the mango green tea with jelly. It was very refreshing! The atmosphere was nice, but they left the door open, making it uncomfortably cold since it was a chilly day. The service was friendly but not very attentive. Overall, it's a decent spot for a meal, especially if you're looking for a good lunch deal!
