Ordered a bunch of stuff through Uber Eats.
Was hoping for an alternative to Lao Sze Chuan that offers decent Sichuan fare you can find in Chicago without trekking down to Chinatown.
I do not understand how the reviews here are so high. I eat at a lot of restaurants.

“As a Chinese, I approve the decency of the food here.”
As a Chinese, I approve the decency of the food here. The service is nice, you can navigate with both English and Chinese. A lot of menus to choose from. Not too overpriced, so I take it as a go to place for me. The dish comes with big portion and really nice for sharing.

“I have been obsessed with stirfry green bean recently and this restaurant makes it so well.”
I have been obsessed with stirfry green bean recently and this restaurant makes it so well. We also ordered the bonbon chicken and sour pickled fish. The menu is extensive and as someone who is very indecisive, it took me a bit of time to decide on the items. However, our waitress was very nice and explained the restaurant’s bestsellers to us. After we ordered, we were told that the kitchen ran out of the fish they usually used for the pickled fish dish. We were asked if we want to switch to a live fish. (i think they said we didn’t hv to pay MP since the kitchen ran out, but i’m not entirely sure) Our waitress was super nice and even asked the kitchen to pick a fresher fish for us. I felt so welcomed and taken care of when I was here. The food was delicious as well and we had lots of leftovers.

“Real Sichuan food.”
Real Sichuan food. The food was excellent and tastes like in Chengdu. Generous portions. Check with the waiter if you can’t handle truly spicy dishes. Try a dish with the pepper corn.

“Great service and authentic chinese food.”
Great service and authentic chinese food. We are travelling here and walked in. We ordered food but there wasn't seat so we decided to take it home and the owner gave us a free drink. So nice and their food is great

Super nice staff and delicious food. Perfect if you love spicy food. We ordered the classic boiled fish fillet sichan style and twice cooked pork with pancakes. Highly recommended.

“Been here twice and the quality of the food has been incredible.”
Been here twice and the quality of the food has been incredible. Beautifully spiced and precisely cooked. Have had the hot pot, pork bao, mapo tofu and spinach so far and would recommend any of them.

“Have eaten here twice now, and it's honestly my favorite Szechuan restaurant in the country.”
Have eaten here twice now, and it's honestly my favorite Szechuan restaurant in the country. This is my favorite style of Chinese. I've had maybe 7 different things here this year and everything has been stellar. Drinks leave something to be desired, but whatever... that's commen in Asian restaurants/Asia. Highly recommend this place

“Stopped in on a whim, as I've passed by multiple times as it's been busy.”
Stopped in on a whim, as I've passed by multiple times as it's been busy. It looks quite unassuming from the outside, but is definitely worth a stop in. We started with some dumplings, then ordered Mongolian beef and cumin lamb. Everything was cooked perfectly and extremely flavorful. The Mongolian beef was mild, whereas my cumin lamb had the perfect amount of spice to it. We will absolutely be returning to try more of the menu. Thanks!

“Delicious authentic Szechuan food.”
Delicious authentic Szechuan food. Dan Dan noodles are delicious. Twice cooked pork with scallion pancakes were so flavorful, and the Beijing style eggplant was pleasantly sweet and savory. Would highly recommend.
