Great service. Excellent food. Different than other Szechuan I have had. There were 4 of us and we all got different things and shared so had quite a variety of tastes. Portions were generous so we had to get some boxes to take some home. The twice cooked pork belly was amazing. The beef short ribs were good. The chickpea curd salad was delicious.

Try this Szechuan restaurant for the first time during SRW. The food exceeded my expectations. We ordered strange taste cauliflower and eggplant (a winner !) chickpea curds (light and refreshing) short rib in black bean sauce (piping hot and amazing) and sesame noodles (good texture but way too salty). The service was excellent! Ambience good. Quiet enough for conversation. We will come again!

We love this place! This is one of the first restaurants we ever hit up upon moving to the city, and we were so excited to close the loop recently for the Chinese Lunar New Year this year. We've tried a good portion of the menu at this point, and you really can't go wrong. I also suspect they stopped putting as much numbing sauce in their dishes as they used to, and that's a bit sad, unfortunately, but the dishes are still delicious nonetheless. We've only been to the Cap Hill location and cannot wait for our next visit! Service has been excellent each time we've gone, and they were gracious enough to take us in when we were running a little late as well, which is a big plus for us. Parking is all-street parking, but there's usually something available nearby, regardless of how busy this area gets. I highly recommend this place for most occasions, dates, friends, and family, it's a cool place!

This place slaps. Service, food and vibe are all turned up here. If you haven't had Sichuan cooking this is a great place to start! The food here can be served family style and I would recommend that as all the dishes are fantastic. We ordered the green beans, tofu, chickpea curd and dumplings. The wait staff helped me navigate the gluten free options which were abundant and made it so we could share the most dishes at the table. The tofu was spicy and had that "electric citrus" spice you get from Sichuan cooking. The beans were cooked perfectly and the curd offered a good cooling effect. The other non gluten free dishes were praised by the rest of the table as well. The space is cozy and i expect on a hot summer day it may be a bit much but when we were there it was a warm and welcoming space. Definitely worth a visit if you're on the hill.

My friend and I were walking around the area trying to find a place to eat when we came across this restaurant. Despite being a Friday around 7pm, we were able to get instantly seated with no reservations. There's a variety of seating options which some offer great view of the kitchen to see how the cook is making the food. Service was great! We couldn't decide what we wanted to order and our waitress was patient and kind helping us decide. The Dan Dan Noodles and Dried Fried Chicken which comes with a side of rice are definitely popular items as we saw a lot of other people get them. We also ordered the cucumber which was an excellent refreshing addition while the spice was getting to us. We all agreed this was an excellent choice and will be our go to for Sichuan food if in the area.
