Amazing food, especially if you like Szechuan food. And great value, too, considering how it's hard to get anything decent under $20 these days. (I had so many sub-par dishes at chain and locally owned restaurants in Tallahassee and I just don't eat out for dinner any more except here. Oh and occasionally driving to Zaan in Thomasville. Today I had a horrible Thai take out from a place that used to be Ok, and that prompted me to write a good review for this place.
Their menu doesn't offer some basic things (dumplings, wontons) and a few of my favorite Szechuan items (couples's beef, chili oil wontons..), but their dry pot and hot and spicy pot are probably some of the bests I have tried in this country. And the Szechuan chicken wings are so addictive! I also like their "scallion style" dishes. Mapo tofu has great flavor and texture..& the eggplant with garlic sauce is the best in town. (Their lomein and fried rice are ok, comparatively speaking.. ). I don't usually order fried chicken dishes at Chinese restaurants, but the orange chicken that my friend got was also delicious. I really hope they'll keep their food quality without sacrificing the flavors..& hopefully they'll get more people working in the kitchen so that they can expand the menu and serve with real plates again!
* It can take a while to take out (sometimes over an hour), but I don't mind it as I can plan accordingly.
* There are seats, but recently they stopped serving done-in customers. You can still eat there, but in the take out containers. Again, I don't mind it..their food is so good. Price is very reasonable and the portion is good. The shrimps are big and juicy, and all the vegetables are fresh and well cooked (not overcooked ever).
