Snow pea sprouts in garlic are incredible, a light sauce enhances and boosts the delicate flavor of the snow pea that comes from the sautéed stalks. This restaurant is probably even better for someone who can read the specials board, but we have come here time and again and have never found anything on the menu that wasn't delicious. Fire and numbing, exploding peppers, we feel like we are sitting in a sezchuan Cafe every time we come to eat here, and entirely recommend the experience for anyone who wants to enjoy some food that is far better than the typical "Chinese food' restaurant can put on your table!

Good food and good service. Came here once for dinner and once for lunch, both time thoroughly satisfied.

Authentic Chinese food from the Hunan region. This is great for those that enjoys either spicy or sweet & sour taste profiles. Good taste and decent portion. Food is prepared quickly with complimentary tea and side dishes (roasted peanuts & homemade kimchi). Rice has to be individually ordered.The restaurant is fairly new and the unlike some Chinese places, their interior design is updated and modern. The service has declined a bit since they don't give you a menu or take your order. It's all done through a QR code on your phone. There aren't many photos online so it makes deciding a little harder. Plenty of free parking in the plaza. Best to come with 3-4 people. Expect to pay $20 after tax + tip per person. I do recommend checking it out!

Authentic Chinese cooking. Very tasty. Prices are average. However portion sizes are a bit smaller than other restaurants near by.

Special crawfish dish had the most amazing sauce that needed to be eaten smothered over rice. It is a bit spicy, but is a very good heat and also very addictive. Pork dish with squid and bean curd was delicious and had a flavor explosion inside my mouth. Initially I was hesistant to try them, but after this experience I will definitely return for more.

delicious, flavorful food !!we got ...-salty fish and chicken fried rice-hunan lamb casserole in a numbing broth - lamb was tender, spices hit on different parts of the palate-a side of steamed white rice???

Great food and affordable price

Delicious Sichuan food!

Lots of popular staple dishes and somehow have pre-pandemic prices?? Sorcery at work

Very reasonable price with the great taste. We’ve been there three times now and enjoyed every dish we ordered so far. We will for sure keep going back!
