I have lived here for many years, and I pass by it every day, but I have never eaten here. My friends all said it was delicious, and my parents also said it was pretty good. Today I came to try it with my parents. The fish-flavored eggplant🍆 is really delicious. Very authentic taste.

Came on Tuesday around 7 pm, The street parking was all taken, had to parked at the back of the restaurant, which could only hold about 6 cars. Wish they had a bigger parking lot.We ordered the Kung Fu boiled fish, Wok-Fried Kidney, and cabbage. The portion was generous. We almost finished the first two and had 1/2 left of the cabbage.The Kung Fu boiled fish is supposed to be a typical Sichuan-style food. But it was about the average and tasted like using pre-mixed pasted to make the broth. I know you are not supposed to drink the broth with that dish, but it affects the fish flavor. At least the fish filet was fresh and not overcooked.The wok-fried kidney is not a regular dish I order for it requires some wok and seasoning skills to remove the distinctive taste of the pork kidney with a good texture. I was surprised that they did a good job: They were freshly tender. Happy that they were smooth without the thick layer of starch-coating. The spicy flavor was well blended with the kidney and peppers.My favorite was the cabbage. The one with the least expectation. If it was not served the last, I might finish it. The wok preserved the natural sweetness of the cabbage, less spicy than the other two dishes. (I’ll say mild level 🌶️). I wish they could make it spicier though. Texture-wise, the cabbage was fully cooked but still had the crunchy freshness. Love it!Sorry to say, but the service was less exciting than the food. You order by scanning the QR code on the table. The menu is in both English and Chinese. Parking is limited, but the inside is bigger. Average level of noise.I would definitely come back to try their noodles and dry-pot series.

We wanted sichuan good and this place delivered. It had a big menu with lots of authentic dishes. The food came out quick and each dish was quite large at a reasonable price. Personally I think the food could be more seasoned and used better ingredients, but overall it hit the spot.

The flavors are good but the price/quantity ratio is poor. The 烤鱼 lacked enough fish for four and we ordered two extra dishes. Service was bright, cheery and attentive.

Ordered:- cold spicy chicken- spicy lamb- fish- vegetable dishThe fish dish was around $45 and if you were to add additional items like lotus roots, potatoes, etc they were additional $5/6 each. The flavor was a 9/10 but it would have been worth the $ if they actually used live fish to cook. It was deep fried fish that didn’t have much meat hidden under a pile of vegetables. Would return to try other dishes.

Great food here! My boyfriend and I crave the veggies- they make them soooo good! (String beans for me and the cabbage for him).We tried the Kung Pao chicken this time and wow- the best Ive ever had!I dont care for how you order- its all done through your phone. But they get the order quick and you get to eat- so I guess its not that bad.I also noticed lots of ToGo orders getting picked up. Thats a good sign, when people can eat it at home and are still happy with the food.

If you like spicy dishes, and I mean really spicy, this place is for you. Ordering is done online from your table. Food comes out quick and servings are relatively large. Next time I’d probably ask to have everything less spicy.The Dan Dan noodles were ok. Not my favorite version. Too spicy. It basically looks like a huge bowl of chili oil with noodles.The Chong Qing chicken is good. But I think of it as popcorn chicken with lots of peppers. Similar to the popcorn chicken you get at boba spots.Place is clean and food presentation is good.

I was speechless the first time eating here, this is the most delicious and authentic food I think I’ve ever had. Highly recommend Dan Dan noodle if you can handle the heat, and steamed spare rib. You’ll be dreaming of the sweet potatoes for days!

Always great food here. I love the Sichuan food here. I usually get twice cooked pork/double braised pork, deep fried intestine, mapo tofu, and braised pork belly. My partner always loves the eggplant. You order via the app through the QR code. Service is usually pretty quick and the food comes out quick and hot. I personally like this place better than Sichuan Impression. And the prices are typical maybe even on the lower side of average Sichuan food places. When I meet with family for Sichuan food, we usually come here.

This place has excellent food and great prices. I ordered the king pao chicken and was delighted with the colorful blend of red peppers 🌶️ and chicken. The sauce was very light and just about perfect.The second dish I ordered was veggies unfortunately I dont remember the name but its great it seemed to have garlic and parmesan cheese but was delicious.Last but not least I picked up a bowl of chicken soup that was also a joy to eat.The judgement on this place will be listed below with the following categories Taste, value for money, quality and locationTaste = 4/5Value = 5Quality = 4Location = 4.... only because I dont know the area so I have no idea what else is around but its LA so what the heck...
