This is a nice little gem off of NW Cornell Road. The Shanghai style pork dumplings are perfectly juicy with a delicate, flavorful filling. The Hometown Hot Chicken is a must try, offering a spicy kick reminiscent of Chongqing chicken, packed with bold flavors. The Mapo Tofu is rich and savory, with just the right amount of heat. Don't miss the Seafood Fried Rice which is loaded with seafood and seasoned to perfection.

This is a Chinese Sichuan restaurant that I had for lunch in US during my business trip. From a Taiwanese point of view, this place is just as good and let me think of Taiwan food, especially for the spicy and strong flavor of Fish fillet in hot and spicy gravy. It was so hot and tasty. Egg plant with string bean was pretty greasy just like other egg plant dish, which the chef needed to deep fried the egg plant to not let the color of the egg plant change. The server was very friendly and food was served very quickly. Recommend this restaurant if you are a fan of Chinese food.

Nice tasty affordable comfort Asian food. Hot tea is not free. Food has good quantity and is reasonably priced. Nice folks, quick service, ample parking!

From what I'm told, it's the best Chinese restaurant in the area. The comment came from a Chinese person. The food is indeed good and how is it supposed to taste and you see a lot of Asians eating here, so that's a great sign.

This restaurant is a pleasant discovery. The dishes are authentic Chinese food. Though the menu comes across to have lots of spicy dishes, it has a good selection of non-spicy dishes. The Golden Dry Pot with Prawn HK Style & String Beans with Eggplant are excellent. Will comeback again.

best Chinese food we’ve ever had! Super local, incredible friendly and family staff, quick service , clean and great ambiance! Crab puff are the best in town! Flower egg soup is a must! Everything super tasty! We will 100% go back and become frequent there ! Great lunch deals

Stopped in for a quick lunch and was very happily surprised. Hot and sour soup is a pretty good quality metric to judge Chinese joints by, and it was great. I had the twice cooked pork belly lunch special, it was phenomenal. Prefect balance of spice and flavor, and even the standard BBQ fried rice side was very well executed. Looking forward to exploring their menu more in the future.

A great Chinese restaurant. My family and I went for a nice family dinner and ordered a variety of spicy and non spicy dishes. The spicy beef, chopped pepper fish, eggplant, and chicken with vegetables were all really yummy! Happy to have this place, especially with Taste of Sichuan still not reopening...it is comparable. *Just a note, it is better to sit down and eat at the restaurant vs. take out.
