    Stop by this place on a rainy day for lunch, tasteful environment and I was welcome by a very friendly staff. Menu is focus on northern China cuisine, most dishes are good for sharing. Noodles soup caught my eyes and decide to give it a try. It was DELICIOUS, perfectly cooked noodles with just a right amount of spiciness, what a treat on a rainy day.

    Very fast and efficient to order, scan the menu bar code, choose what you want and pay by card. The food even came in less than five minutes. The duck blood with mixed innards was so delicious it screamed in my mouth!

    Not too busy on a Friday night. We arrived at 7PM and was able to get seated right away. Ordering is a breeze and food came out extremely fast, hot and fresh. Highly recommend!

    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 don't remember the name but it's 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 location Taste = 4/5 Value = 5 Quality = 4 Location = 4.... only because I don't know the area so I have no idea what else is around but it's LA so what the heck...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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 I've ever had! I don't care for how you order- it's all done through your phone. But they get the order quick and you get to eat- so I guess it's not that bad. I also noticed lots of ToGo orders getting picked up. That's a good sign, when people can eat it at home and are still happy with the food.

    Ordered: - cold spicy chicken - spicy lamb - fish - vegetable dish The 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.

    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.

    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.

    This restaurant should earn more recognition because the foods are surprisingly good 😊! It's currently one of my fav sichuan style restaurants in SGV ✨ The foods are too spicy for some of my friends and this restaurant does not ask us how spicy we want the dishes to be. So if you like spicy (like numbing spicy 😆), then this place is for you. Foods that we order: - Toothpick lamb 🐑. As someone who is pretty sensitive with the smell of lamb meat, I must say that this restaurant manages to minimize that smell 👍🏻. Not my favorite, but it's good! My friends love this dish and say its one of the best toothpick lambs they've had. Meat is perfectly cooked and seasoned. It's flavorful and spicy 🥵. - Chong qing fried chicken 🐔. I loveeeee their chong qing chicken! I somehow do not see any peppercorns, but it still makes my tongue numb (a good numb HAHAHA). Perfectly crunchy and juicy! MUST ORDER! 🫶🏻 - Serrano pepper beef 🐮. The beef quality is excellent. The broth is amazing especially when poured to the rice, it tastes like Maggi sauce 😂. I lovee the bean sprouts underneath the beef, it gives extra texture to dish. 🤤 - Spicy roasted fish with red pepper 🐟. We come to this restaurant for this fish, but this fish turns out to be our least favorite. Fish is very soft, but the cauliflower is not fresh. 🙃 Definitely an unforgettable numbing experience for my taste bud! Can't wait to go back 💃

    This is the only restaurant I've come across that specializes in biang biang noodles, and I'd recommend it to anyone who's interested in trying it out! The noodles were unique, super flat and wide with a bouncy texture. The mala beef dry mix noodles were pretty spicy and came in a really generous portion size!

    We had food from here a couple of times in the last two months even though we live San Diego. The toothpick lamb is pretty spicy and good. One of our favorite Chinese places in LA.

    One of the best restaurants I've been to lately in San Gabriel valley. Ordered the cucumber. The spare rib and the shrimp hot pot. All were absolutely delicious. I would totally recommend this place to anyone looking for great food.

    First time visiting this Sichuan outlet which had been open for 2 years. Menu choices for Sichuan dishes were quite good. Boiled fish dish was a bit overly seasoned. Also Ma Po Toufu was not as good as I would have hoped. Hot pepper fried chicken was quite good. I think a second visit would solidify my opinion. Parking is on the street only I believe.
