"I have been coming here for a long time but just now realized that I have never written a review about this place.

Fantastic Szechwan Restaurant. The vegetarian selections are uniformly tasty and they're willing to make certain dishes, like Dan Dan Noodles, without meat. Everything tastes wonderful with great flavors. The Mala pops in Mapo Tofu. The Yushiang Eggplant is reminiscent of Fish Flavored Eggplant. Good addition to the Restaurants to revisit in Chinatown.

Hands down one of the best restaurants in Chinatown!! We always come back for more because we love it so SO much. Every single dish is authentic, flavorful and nicely spiced (not in a numbing way . Best part about this restaurant is the sweet lady who runs the shop. Her smile is contagious and she always pair our take out orders with either some sort of free dessert or appetizer (We got juicy dumplings last time

I lived in Sichuan for 2 years and this is the BEST place for legit Sichuanese in Chicago. OMG it was delicious. I got 水煮牛肉 and 辣子鸡。Can’t recommend the 辣子鸡 enough, it was out of this world. Also had Scallion Pancake 葱花饼 and 抄手 (dumplings) and 干煸四季豆. I’m ashamed that was all just for me because I’m a glutton and I miss legit Sichuan food. Chef was trained at a top-notch culinary arts university in Chengdu. Just Go! Staff lady couldn’t have been kinder! Love this place!!!
