Has AI generated menu photos that make it hard to know what food I'm actually going to get.
They stapled all their food. I found one staple in the food. I have been a loyal customer for years.
Was misled by the high review score. The restaurant is actually previous Da Mao Jia, which was closed at Chinatown.

“The flavor of every dish is absolutely incredible.”
The flavor of every dish is absolutely incredible. Waiter was good about refilling water. I enjoy ordering and paying via my phone as it gives me more control of my own time. The waiter packed up all of our leftovers for us when we were done. easy 5 stars

“Pretty good, everything was very flavorful and came out super hot.”
Pretty good, everything was very flavorful and came out super hot. You order on your food and order goes directly to kitchen and comes out really fast. Good for in between classes. The spicy beef soup was very good as well as the dumplings

“Delicious SiChuan Chinese food.”
Delicious SiChuan Chinese food. It’s a theme restaurant about the history of Chengdu. The dolls from SanXingDui are adorable! I like the atmosphere and the house decorating. It deserves a try!

“definitely feels high end and the storytelling of the sichuan culture and cuisine, food was solid...”
definitely feels high end and the storytelling of the sichuan culture and cuisine, food was solid probably not as authentic but good enough, recommend the 肥肠粉，甜品，and the texture of the hand pulled noodle was the best

“Really great Szechuan food.”

“I had a fantastic experience here.”
I had a fantastic experience here. The soups here are truly excellent. My personal favorite was the tomato-beef noodle soup—it was rich, flavorful, and just comforting enough. The quality for the price is definitely a solid 10/10. Portions are generous too; I'm a big eater and could have easily shared a soup along with two extra dishes. I highly recommend ordering a soup and sharing it with someone and ordering two other dishes if you're dining with someone else. The service was exceptional, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. I can't wait to visit again soon!

Authentic. Chinese. Street. Food!!! Here you can indulge in the flavors of food from ChenDu, which is the capital of Sichuan, in China! The spices and flavors in the dishes are so tasty. Here’s what I tried: Tempting Bon Bon Chicken Fiery Spicy Fries Delights Hot & Sour Fern Root Noodles Wholesome Wonton Chicken Soup Single Choice Hot Pot w/imitation crab meat Three Cannons ChengDu Osmanthus Cake Mango Soda Drink 芒果少女心 The Bon Bon Chicken was my favorite! It was so many flavors at once with the chili oil, soy sauce, slight sweetness and sesame oil. The Wonton chicken soup is so warm and comforting and the dumplings are made in house. I love how airy and modern the space is; there is room for big groups - which I really like. Put them on your list to visit and tell em that Bri from Planes and Plates sent you!

“This place was great.”
This place was great! The atmosphere and food were top notch. Server was super respectful and attentive as well. I got the tomato beef broth with noodles and a side of rice. Delicious, not over seasoned and if you’re looking a dish that is easy on the stomach then this dish is for you. There is not much beef or chunks or tomatoes, it’s mostly broth and noodles. The sausage fried rice was also pretty good and could be eaten as an entree. My friend got the glass noodle hot pot. Garlic lovers that dish is definitely down your alley. My only critique is that it’s almost over seasoned. But no less, the food was delicious. And if you don’t finish your food they give you an adorable to go bag! I would definitely come here again.
