Authentic Chinese cuisine. If you are new to Chinese food and are an Indian, ask for less salt in food. Since the Chinese have the tradition of eating together with all the family members, the quantity of food you get here is huge. You should go with at least 4 people to finish what you order.
Sichuan Food in full authenticity. The wait out the door was my first indication this was a restaurant worth visiting. Sure the place is small and intimate, however, people were willing to wait an hour. That is dedication, but that is not how this place is every night. But if it is so, walk in and put your name on the list. Its a clipboard hanging on the glass partition. This was a Friday night adventure for me. The owner/manager was very attentive to his guests and many of them seemed to be repeat customers. The wait staff busy and efficient, The food was the reason people were coming here. This is Sichuan pure and simple. Hot, eye watering, sweat inducing, tongue numbing goodness. The Dan Dan Mien was good, I like a rice noodle vice egg and theirs is very spare on meat (and yes Dan Dan has many variations I know). The Boiled beef in Sichuan Hot Sauce was outstanding. Melt in your mouth tender beef and heat. I think I will cry tears of capsicum later. The fish seemed to be what many/most of what my neighbors were eating. I had been recommended the 3 pepper fish by a new foodie acquaintance. But that is for another time, there are so many more things on the menu to try.
The menu is similar to Yunnan houses located in San Gabriel, CA. This is so far the closest one, if not the only Yunnan restaurant we have been in. My husband likes the Boiled Fish! I gotta say, it is simply the best! I like the deep fried chicken cubes and house special soup. I would definitely come back here again.
Greatest Chinese I’ve Had In San Diego. The won ton soup and hot pot with chicken and no bones are my favs. Reasonably priced.
A party in my mouth and you’re all invited. Yes, this is an amazing szechuan restaurant to go to, however, I have one problem with it, consistency. It’s changed ownership several times and sometimes the food I get really lacks. They’ve screwed up my fav. dish before (Spicy Boiled Fish) but generally, when they’re on, this becomes one of my fav. restaurants in the city.It’s real authentic szechuan food. I went to chengdu (sichuan province) and there’s really just a slight difference between the two. This is going to be about as close as you can get to the good stuff, if you beg to differ, let me know and I’ll check it out.I really like their hot pot here. It comes out already pre-cooked in a claypot (not really how you should do it but hell whatever, it tastes damn good)I highly recommend the Spicy Boiled Fish, twice cooked pork, and shrimp in garlic sauce. Also a lot of water if you’re not into spicy food. My mouth is watering, I’m going to go get a napkin.
