The small appetizer dishes are okay. The service was not up to needs and the waiter was just sitting there. We had to ask the waiter (guy) twice - basic water in a cup and a bowl to eat. When done, he did not come to our table to check. We had to ask for take out boxes. Overall feeling under served. The main dishes are over priced and with minimum quantities. Will not go back to eat here. The next door other restaurants in the same plaza are much better service, better price and quality.

It's rare for a restaurant in North America to actually use Sichuan peppers. These guys are good and they know what they're doing. A+ for authenticity. Absolutely 好吃!A side note for the uninitiated: Chongqing (and neighbouring Sichuan) are known for being extremely spicy cuisines because of that above-mentioned pepper. It's not just a question of Scoville units either, as sichuan peppers chemically cause a tongue-numbing sensation that spicy foods don't normally cause. So if you can't handle some heat, you may have a hard time here. Or at least you should tell them to tone it down for you or ask if they can leave out the sichuan peppercorns.

Food was good, the chili flakes they use is really nice!

Large and generous portions and taste is very authentic. The restaurant owner is very nice as well! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for high quality Chinese food!

As a guy from Chongqing, this is the most authentic Chongqing food I have ever eaten in North America.

Nothing like any good ChongQing food. I was thinking to give it a try and hope it can give me son some experience of traditional Spicy food of China. What a disappointment.

Authentic very good

The ground pork sauce noodle is SO GOOD. I will never tire of the flavour and spice from this dish, and the noodles are always perfectly cooked and never too mushy. I absolutely love the noodles and would eat it very often. I don't pick up or order from here anymore because the only issue is that I never see the cashier wearing a mask and he goes into the back kitchen and there is also no plexiglass when you go up to pay and I'm uncomfortable with that. Would much rather have someone who's dealing with my food be wearing a mask.

Super authentic and street-food style Chinese spicy noodles place. I've never been disappointed by any of their dishes. Be aware, however, that a lot of the dishes here are very spicy so it's not for everyone.
