    I went to [place] a week ago. Loved the service. It was the afternoon, and it was quiet with the music at the right volume. We ordered fried rice noodles, scallion pancakes, spring rolls, and hot sauce fish. The first 3 were delicious. However, we do not recommend the hot sauce fish as it was not very authentic. Overall, we will definitely visit again 😄

    We stumbled upon this restaurant after a strenuous morning, and we were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was here. While the price seems expensive, the quantity makes up for it! 3 people can easily be full from 2 entrees and a few sides of rice. The first dish that blew me away was their eggplant and garlic sauce. Now, I’ve had this at many locations, however, it has never been as good as it was here. The eggplants are roasted and broiled, perfectly, giving it a little bit of a harder bite than the usual soft eggplant elsewhere. The other part was their sauce, which was absolutely flavorful, garlicky, and thick. The second dish was the vegetable dry pot. This dish is made with a Szechuan paste and several cruciferous vegetables. This mouth numbing dish has incredible flavor, and the crunchiness of the veggies paired with the fresh rice is an excellent combination. The staff were pretty attentive as well, which led to an overall pleasant experience. The one thing I wish they would improve is seating people. When they are not busy, they still put all the people together rather than spacing them out. The restaurant was pretty empty, however, everyone that came in got seated at tables right next to us. Being a small restaurant, I would ask that staff seat people apart to allow for a better experience, unless they are incredibly busy. There were only five groups in the restaurant when we were there, and all being in the same corner made it feel a little clustered.

    What a fantastic unassuming Sichuan restaurant. We ordered so many things on their menu. Everything was fab! 👌 Must try the Dry Pot and Dan Dan Noodles (they are happy to make a vegetarian version for you if you request them).

    Very chill authentic restaurant. Came here around 8 on a Tuesday evening and there were plenty of tables. Service was super great, staff were very kind and helpful and the food came out pretty quick. Portions are huge! The spicy mutton was quite spicy so be mindful. Scallion pancakes were super good. Saw a lot of take out order being picked up which I will definitely do in the future. Would recommend!!

    Excellent Sichuan/Szechuan dishes with good portion sizes. We had the Dan Dan noodles, the eggplant with garlic sauce, and the lemon/pickled vegetable fish soup. All three were authentically flavored and hit the spot. We ate until very full and still had leftovers! Would recommend.

    Our friend who lives in Manhattan recommend this place. Place was nice and clean. The service was excellent. Our server was very courteous. The food was very flavorful and tasty. I would definitely revisit this place if I have the chance.

    I got the mutton dry pot and it was very good. Big portion size and lots of meats and veggies. The dumpling was alright. Would recommend for the dry pot. The atmosphere was peaceful and it was not packed. Fast service.

    Ordered delivery through Uber eats: fried dumplings, soup dumplings, twice cooked pork, spicy Chinese broccoli. All truly superb and authentic. Dumplings, although not really Szechuan, were excellent with thin delicate wrapper and flavorful filling. Soup dumplings as well were surprisingly good. Thin wrappers, still hot, really well done. Twic cooked pork, a more authentic Szechuan dish was a traditional preparation with leeks and some hot peppers. A terrific rendition that I’d definitely order again. But the star of the show was the broccoli. Beautifully cooked, tender and spiced perfectly with a touch of Szechuan peppercorn and some spice, true to MaLa. Bravo!!!!

    Sesame Chicken and Cold Sesame noodles were excellent. Great service. Shrimp was not cooked well. Beef was fatty.
