When I first walked in all I saw was a sea of paper bags laid out on the tables. I guess that was their way of saying "take out only due to pandemic". I got there late for the lunch special, my expectation was low. I asked the lady to recommend something spicy, she recommended the jalapeno chicken and the mapo tofu. I liked the spiciness of the jalapeno chicken, I know what a jalapeno pepper is but it never crossed my mind to stir fry it with chicken. That was surprise #1.Surprise #2 was the mapo tofu. It looked sort of pathetic in my food box, but wow, it was delicious! Even better than what make at home. Whatever spices they use, it was a flavor profile I have never had before. I would have liked some ground pork and green onions in the dish, but maybe that would make it too Cantonese....this is supposed to be Sichuan after all.I will be going back for a giant order of the mapo tofu. I tried to get menu, but they said it was only online. Of course my QR reader didn't work that day. Ughh.Humm...I wonder if I can talk them into adding pork and green onion to the tofu when I go back. Or maybe I can tweak the dish with my own stir fried ground pork when I get the box home. ?Actually without a menu, I'm not even sure mapo tofu is the right name. It looks sort of like the mapo tofu I see at Chinese restaurants. Here's a picture of the tofu in my take out box.Yeah, it needs work on the presentation, but OMG...it is so delicious. ?I was a happy boy yesterday. ?

Wow surprised by many negative reviews. I was craving sichuan food and found this place on Google. Previously tried Da Sichuan and it was just ok and pricey. This place is legit! I always get Sichuan fish fillet in red chili oil (I dont know the official name). It was soooo good! Very fresh ingredients, authentic and delicious. I will be back for more ?

Looks great and quite authentic ?

Fantastic Chinese spicy food! The location is convenient for people around to get your bento boxes on working days. And never forget to bring your friends there. the cold chicken in house made chili oil is the best forever. Love this place and hope to dine in soon!

I will not come to this place anymore. Food is low quality.

Quick easy reasonable good food

I love this place very much. theres a very nice atmosphere. The meals are tasty. the service is effective and the team is well trained. The cost is reasonable. I definitely recommend.

Yesterday was our first time we visited this good restaurant. But It is obviously not the last. We enjoyed the evening a lot with the generous service, with the fine food and wine and with the comfortable price. We will definitely visit there soon.

Decent food but the service was a little bit disorganized. I only saw two people working to service like 12 tables for a busy Friday night and they have put the wrong dishes onto my table twice.

Food is decent, but bad customer service.
