We started with the garlic cucumber salad and pork potstickers, and both were excellent. The cucumber salad was super crunchy with tons of garlic flavor—fresh, bold, and really refreshing. The pork potstickers came out hot and crispy, and the dipping sauce paired perfectly with them. For my entrée, I ordered the Sichuan Mixed Dry Pot, and it did not disappoint. If you enjoy spicy food, this is definitely the place for you. The flavors were bold, the spice level was on point, and the portions were very generous. Everything was delicious, and I’ll definitely be coming back.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

We had the mixed fried rice & General Tso Chicken. We’re not big eaters, so we split the meal. My boyfriend said the entree was some of the best he had ever tasted, but next time we’re going for the super spicy version. Also, I was taking some pictures of the place because the decor was very well appointed. The proprietor (Ping) came out & introduced herself to us. She was so gracious as well. We will be back again soon to try some other menu items out. Also, there is a Montessori memory game that adorns the top of every table that guests can play while waiting for their entrees to arrive table side. They actually sell it, too & I couldn't resist.

Surprisingly better than expected. The cold noodles were the best ever I’ve had. The spicy lamb, and the eggplant dishes where are uniquely different from other places. Absolutely loved it. Note: If you’re not into spicy food, definitely tell them you want everything mild. We ordered everything medium and that was plenty hot for us. That and I would avoid the dumplings, unless you’re totally in the mood for them. They look and taste like they’re not in-house. Otherwise I give this place at least a 4 1/2⭐️
