Been coming here many time, never disappointed. Classic Sichuan spicy cuisine, red chili and awesome numb peppers. Even the non spicy dishes are full of flavors. The fun about this place is if you pack the leftovers home, add some veggies or meat, no salt n peppers no oil or suger needed, it'll become your new flavorful dish.

Came here for dinner. Had Taiwan sausage fried rice, stir fried greens, stir fried potatoes and peppers, and spicy chicken. Liked the fried rice, potatoes were ok and rest so-so. Was extremely amusing to me that there was a picture of toast on the picture menu. The décor was nice but the fan was under the lighting which made it constantly flicker, which was really distracting and bothersome. Service was so-so, the chicken didn't come out until we were almost done eating all the other dishes. 2.5/5.

My Sichuan friend brought me here. I trusted his recommendation. Overall, the place is clean and the service is Ok. The Red Chilli Oil Chaoshou was spicy but the taste of the filling was subtle and impressive. Fish Boiled in Chilli Oil is much better. However, I wish they could add a bit more numbing pepper corns. The vegetable dish ordered is Mushroom with Bok Choy. The mushroom is rich and juicy with thick sauce and the bok choy is cooked tender and fresh. Overall, I think this is a decent place for Sichuan food, but however, their price level exceeds the quality the restaurant offers.

The top reviews says this is good price??? I really doubt it. They don’t have much other materials like spice or coriander in the soup(pic 2), compare with what usually should be included (pic 1). The dishes were overpriced and taste so so. Even the rice tastes bad. Moreover, their servant’s attitude made me mad. He was looking at his phone when we needed help, and the bowls he handed to us had dirt! So I guess that’s why the restaurant was almost empty when we went there today. The taste, the service, and the health score are have issues.

Lunch specials are not for take out. So no where on their website do they say this, but I tried ordering over the phone, they said "we don't have what you want come in and it will only take a few minutes to make something," I had told them we were looking for lunch specials, and they said yes not a problem, but upon arriving at the restaurant they said "lunch specials are not for take out." They don't have the take out prices on their website. Bait and switch there. (what should have been an $18 meal for 2 was twice that "a la carte") Regarding the food, I ordered the spicy garlic chicken, to which they actually questioned if they made it, that should have been the second sign. Got the order, got home, open it up, and there is no garlic what so ever on the chicken. Lots of random vegetables and the thing is soaked with soy sauce, but there wasn't a hint of garlic (or really "spicy") at all. It tasted bland aside from the overpowering soy sauce. Do not recommend, do not get take out here, just not good.

Ordered their signature whole fish boiled in chilly oil. This is what they served up to the table. Not only was the dish tasteless, they used the lowest quality fish possible that tasted way too slate. After one bite, I brought it up to a guy who looked like owner of that place. He took the dish back so I had the meal without entry. BUT it was charged to my bill. When asked, his response was "I can box it for you to enjoy at home." Even the server of my table already agreed to credit the amount because the dish was taken from my table the entire meal... Way to make some good-conscious money CBI Kitchen!
