Reviews
Cute place on the corner of King Street for authentic Chinese food! Their house fried rice was really good. The Mapa tofu definitely has that mala flavor, but it came with a lot of oil, so keep in mind that it will be spicy. The spicy wontons were pretty good. They didn't seem to have any soup noodles, though. The service was great, and the food came out pretty fast. The restaurant is very clean and not too busy
So authentic and delicious!! Every item was so flavorful. It was definitely very spicy, so be prepared. Service is good, and ordering is done on your phone through a website. One of the best Sichuan places I've ever had!
The sichuan food here had us all craving more. I loved the notes of numbing pepper in every dish. The standout dish for us was the spring onion chicken in pepper sauce. While traditionally, the sauce is used as a dipping sauce and there is always never enough for the amount of chicken served, this restaurant flips that notion on its head and serves the chicken drowned in the sauce and I love it. There's numbing pepper in here as well and we found ourselves adding this oil/sauce onto almost every other dish. The cumin lamb on toothpicks were perfectly tender and chewy and so so flavorful. Definitely a must try if you love cumin lamb. The boiled fish was a bit different than I expected but it was a pleasant dish to round out the spiciness of everything else. I wasn't a huge fan of the spicy popcorn chicken but it definitely had an aura of better quality. I personally preferred the oily spiciness in the way that other sichuan restaurants do it. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant. Can't wait to take my friends and family here
I absolutely loved it here. The ambiance said cute. It's very bright and airy and you get a view of a nice, busy area. The service is pretty good. You order from your phone on the app and it's brought to you. The food was the star of the show! I have been dreaming of it ever since.
I've been to multiple locations, and it always hits. The toothpick lamb and Mapo tofu are absolute must-tries. Always a fantastic experience!
