I really enjoyed this restaurant. I will say that it helps to understand what exactly you are getting yourself into before coming. For starters, our friends came in about 30 minutes before us (5:00 on a Saturday night) to get the table and we didn’t have any issues. They were telling us that they tried coming after 5:30 in the past and they were turned away with no hope of getting seated.
If you plan to come, the food is what will set this place apart. The service is almost nonexistent, which is okay if you know going in, so temper your expectations on that front. The menu is quite a bit to digest, no pun intended. It’s extremely long with no pictures, so it helps to go with someone that knows these dishes, speaks the language, has been here before, or all of the above. Im afraid you won’t find the picture support or waiter recommendations here.
We ordered 6-7 entres which was MORE than enough for our party of 6. We ordered, cauliflower veggies, chili oiled green beans, mapo tofu, pork and veggies, cumin beef, egg plant, and fish in chili oil. I think all of it was pretty good. The Szechuan flavor here (on the mapo tofu) leans slightly higher than what you’d find to be the average level of intensity at other restaurants, so if you like that, definitely give that one a go.
All the meals come with hot tea beforehand, but the waters, we had to ask for. So, make sure you ask for water before all the spicy food comes out. It could save you lol.
All things considered, this restaurant is an awesome spot to bring friends, break bread, and not feel like you’re unwelcome. I’d recommend this spot and I’d be open to coming back, but if I’m in the area, I might be tempted to explore other restaurants given the density of awesome cuisine in the area.
