★★★★☆ 4.0 Arpita Biswas · Oct 2025

Love the food here, feels authentic. The food here is mostly spicy but not just hot. Packed with flavors and they use some good combinations of chilies and oil. The egg dish is our favorite. Expect a wait on the weekends. You get unlimited rice with your entrees. Service is fast.

Food is honestly good, my party had the pork with taro, fried eggs, and some sort of fish with some sauce. (I’ve forgotten the names, apologies.) Feels authentic, tastes authentic, especially with the amount of oil I saw in some of the broths and such (This is normalized, especially with me who had a bunch of Asian food with a lot of oil in it) You can tell it’s ran by people who actually know their food, with all the other customers as well. My favorite was the pork with taro, reminds me so much of my aunty’s cooking. Will say that when it’s busy, the waiting is annoying and that it’s kind of crowded and a bit stuffy. Service was actually not bad with how they refilled our water, but honestly don’t expect too much service. Atmosphere was hectic and crowded, which I didn’t really like, but

This restaurant is often referred to as one of the Sichuan spots in the LA area. We ordered two dishes: Spicy Beef and Eggplant with Peppers. The eggplant was below our expectations, and the spicy beef was just okay. However, the biggest issue was the customer service. We had to wait over 30 minutes for our second dish, and looking around, we noticed many other diners were in the same situation and unhappy. The root of the problem seems to be that the restaurant prioritizes take-out orders over dine-in customers. Based on previous reviews, this appears to be a long-standing issue, and we experienced it firsthand. The restaurant seems indifferent to customers’ long waits or complaints. There are plenty of other excellent Sichuan restaurants in the area, and we would advise against this on

★★★★★ 5.0 Jeff Tong · Jul 2022

One of the most authentic if not the best Hunan Restaurant around. Are the dishes spicy? Yes, even if you ask them to reduce the spiciness level because that's how the dish is made! Are they super authentic? Yes! The sauteed frog, chicken liver, fried bacon with lettuce, water spinach, special rice noodle 9, and fish tofu soup were spot on with great wok smokiness. Service is fast. The atmosphere is lively. The new spot is way smaller than their previous restaurant so there may be a wait.

★★★★★ 5.0 Stella Y · Dec 2023

Coming the culinary desert (where Chinese dishes have small portions with higher prices and many are pre-made), we really like the food here. The dishes are delicious; we've been eating here for three consecutive days after 1-h drive everyday and want to take some back! No service is fine as the food itself is really great.
