This place is truly a hidden neighborhood gem: excellent, spicy Sichuan comfort food restaurant hidden at the back of a small, run-down Chinese mini-mall and food court. Moderate prices considering the large servings (at least for takeout, I've never sat down to eat here). Best to order in Mandarin if you can. They take cash, and I think PayPal, but not credit cards. Tons of parking in a big lot in front of the mall.

If you're looking for an unapologetically Sichuan restaurant where locals go, this is it. The portions are substantial and the pricing is solid. It is cash only so beware, but the food is fantastic. I'm a big fan of the Mapo Tofu and the Dan Dan Mien (watch out for the spice!). Chef Z is also a really nice guy who will come out to chat with you and remembers regulars

Delicious food, simple atmosphere. Restaurant is in the shopping center, back left. Takes cash only. Service was great/as expected. I had the twice cooked pork and boneless Sichuan chicken based on reviews, and it didn’t disappoint! Crunchy Sichuan chicken with just the right amount of heat for that tingle on your tongue. Pork was flavorful with mixed veggies. Will definitely be back.

Love the food! Great service and the owner is very friendly. Very tasty dan dan noodle at a great price! The trick is to order the right dish. The bad reviews I see are from people who do not understand what to order here. If you want your american “Chinese” food go to Panda Express. The dan dan noodles are great! Give them a try!

Did not know it is cash only before I arrived. Ordered 夫妻肺片 ( take away ) and it was too salty. As someone from Sichuan province, I can only gave a 3 star. But the service was very nice. Edited after my second try: this time I ordered 口水鸡, which is much better/delicious than my previous dish. The proportion is large, too. I determined to increase my score from 3 to 5 and will keep updating if I tried more dishes. Service is good as usual. Tried again after 3 months. I ordered before I leave the office. When I arrived, it was already 8:45pm. The owner welcomed me warmly, thanked me for my order and asked me to take care myself ( he said it is quite late for dinner and I must had a hardworking day) I must confess that I was touched, especially he had an accent that similar to my parents. Food is nice as my last visit. Highly recommend.
