Worst Sichuan restaurant I’ve ever been to. The service was extremely poor. After bringing the food to our table, the staff basically disappeared. It was almost impossible to find a waiter whenever we needed something or had a question. There was no follow-up service at all. The food was even more disappointing. We ordered the mala roast fish, but it took over 40 minutes to arrive, and no one informed us about the delay or apologized. When it finally came, the fish clearly hadn’t been properly marinated. It was bland, the seasoning hadn’t penetrated the fish, and it lacked the rich, spicy flavor you’d expect from authentic Sichuan cuisine. It was honestly one of the worst roast fish dishes I’ve had. Terrible service, disappointing food. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

This was one of the most frustrating dining experiences I’ve had. We waited a long time outside with no seating available. After finally being seated, only our drinks were served—no utensils, water, or napkins. We waited over 40 minutes before our first dish arrived, and it was very difficult to get any server’s attention despite trying multiple times. One of our dishes (fried rice) never came. We eventually asked to cancel it and switch to plain rice instead. When I asked for a spoon, the server questioned where I was from and commented that “only Korean people use spoons.” This was unnecessary and inappropriate. At that point, it wasn’t just poor service—it felt disrespectful. Customers shouldn’t be judged for how they eat, especially after such a long and frustrating wait. Overall, the service was disorganized, inattentive, and unprofessional. I would not return.

Great Sichuan food and great atmosphere. I got five dishes and I recommend all of them: - Tender Beef in Spicy Sauce - Kung Pao Chicken - Pork Fried Rice - Dandan Noodles - Dry Cooked String Beans If you’re not a fan of spicy, feel free to omit the Tender Beef in Spicy Sauce, but you are truly missing out. Service was also great! Very attentive and kind :)

Came here looking for some good Sichuan food. We got the Dan Dan noodles, Kung Pao Chicken, Braised Beef, Pork Fried Rice, and String Beans. All of them were fantastic. Order one dish less than you think you need.

We had our family dinner here last night. The food was just AWESOME! It gave me a big surprise with the taste of the food! I would say it’s the best Szechuan food in the Bay Area! We talked to the owner and she is originally from Szechuan and the whole staff are from that area. That is why they have the most authentic Szechuan cuisine.
