This is my favorite Chinese restaurant in the city! I’ve been coming here for 3 years and I’ve always had a great time. Both in person and via delivery, the food is consistently amazing. My favorite dishes are the boiled fish fillet, bon bon chicken, cumin lamb, and the green beans Sichuan style. Super authentic and flavorful.

We were a party of five and split a ton of different things. Everything was super fresh and tasty. My personal favorite was the duck fried rice. The staff was super attentive and their recommendations were spot on. Pricing was super fare. Will be back soon.

Went to eat here for the first time and was thoroughly impressed. The service was great and the food selection was massive. Was able to try several dishes and appetizers. Everyone was just so lovely here. We’ll definitely come again.

The portion sizes are great and the so is the presentation of the food.Was here for dinner on a weekday night and plenty of seating available. The food though has a distinct taste unlike typical Chinese and was not really to my palette I guess. Salt levels too were all over the place. Have had better Chinese food in Chicago and this one’s unfortunately a difficult one to recommend. To add, the service was also good - until we were almost coerced to tip extra.

Their tofu marination is on point. Something for everyone. I personally did not like the numbing spice but my friends did. The quantity is great. If bland Schezwan is your thing, you should definitely try it out. The server "demanded" a tip after we paid her the tip over the cheque on card.
