Got the cold noodles and the big tilapia with two flavors: spicy (first flavor) and chopped peppers flavor, with tofu and veggies. Everything was better than we expected and so delicious!!!I would definitely come back here just for this and to try the other dishes. As a Chinese American, I hate to say it but it's really 'authentic' Sichuan food, even down to the menu. The fish is probably one of my favorite Chinese dishes I've ever had in the US. Service was good

It wasn't a bad spot. It's across the street from a parking lot so you don't have to fight for parking too extremely, unless you only look for street parking then good luck in Philly. The tea wasn't that great to me, but someone told me it's berkeley tea like it's a normal taste. So maybe it's just something I wasn't used to, but it just wasn't to my taste. Though I liked the cup, it had a smooth texture with a unique bottom shape. As for the menu, I think half or the majority seemed to be spicy dishes. I struggle with spicy food, so I didn't try too many but I did taste a few and it was survivable and good ? the rice tasted sweet for some reason, I liked it. The bowls/pots that were used to serve particular dishes looked amazing. It didn't seem to be a bad spot and would certainly be better if you have some spice tolerance unlike me.

Holy moly… the Szechuan chicken was amazing…. Maybe too much chilli but the presentation was awesome. We had a few other dishes and the food was A1… definitely go back there

A lot of authentic Chinese dish offerings. However, I made the mistake of ordering some American style Chinese food. It was barely edible. I should have gone with a more authentic dish. I think they only offer the Americanized Chinese food to satisfy people like me. I will go again, but I won't make the same mistake.

The food here is uniquely delicious! I had the spicy shrimp just the way i love it with crispy head and shells. The sticky rice with spare ribs inside and the Chinese yam. I'm still dreaming about it???

Very cute care cake, but it got beat up after I took it back by accident ???

If I can rate this restaurant zero stars I would. I ordered Kung Pao chicken which tasted okay. But then I found a ROACH!!!! I am so disgusted. This ruined my entire night. I am so so so disgusted.

Most the dishes are not bad. But their prices are just keeping increasing, but the quantities aren’t matching up. Rice supposed to be complimentary, but not here, a bowl is $1, although it’s not a lot, but I don’t like this behavior. The water we had another day was a little rude as well. I asked that if they could make the dish less spicy, he simply said : you can eat a different dish… If I want another dish, I would order.

We were excited to try as ratings were pretty good. But all dishes we ordered are super salty. And the foods are taste as good as expected. Dont think I would go back again.

Had a great meal here on a Saturday night. Spicy Pot was delicious, fish and lotus root were both cooked perfectly. I would have preferred more a bit spice for a medium level (though my friend who doesn't do well with heat liked the spice level) and the tofu skin was a bit tough but otherwise a fantastic meal!
