“ Popular and delicious place! Come in a larger group to try different things! I really loved their eggplant (more sweet than you might expect) and mapo tofu (spicy level was up there!) They do get very busy so I was lucky that they had a booth available for our group on a Saturday night. Portions are quite big too! ”
“ Follow @bredgyeats IG for more food posts! The fish's skin is aggressively fried for a rich flavour, then delicately boiled to then be covered in a pool of chili oil, what's not to love? The supporting consists of spam, kani, bean sprouts and lotus roots. I love these kinds of hot pot dishes, because I constantly worry about my food getting cold, plus it's very warming during the colder months. The beef inside is sliced in house and is surprisingly smooth and tender, simmering in a Rich bone broth that had a slight sweetness. Also comes with garlic soy sauce to dip your meat in! ”
“ In certain moments only Szechuan food will hit the spot. This restaurant had more diners than other places on the street. The menu has so many great options. I ordered the stir fried beef and it was outstanding. Perfectly spicy with chillies and Szechuan pepper, tender, with some sliced onions and those slender green peppers. A mound of food, the photo doesn’t do it justice. I ordered a side of rice too. I looked around and everyone’s dishes looked just as fabulous. The girls next to me had a chicken wing dish. There is complementary iced lemon water at the tables. Half the restaurant is open tables and half are booths. Bathrooms are downstairs, very clean. Waitstaff were very nice and gave me containers to take home my ample leftovers. I can’t wait to come back and try more. ”
“ Although we rarely come to downtown, every time we come, we always come here to eat. First of all, the parking is easy an accessible especially for the people who do not live near here. The atmosphere here is also very warm and welcoming. Additionally, the service here is impeccable, the staff being kind and the food being delivered to our table quickly. I would especially recommend the fillet in chili spice stew and the black truffle stir fried beef. Overall, I would strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to sit down and have a good meal :) ”
“ This place is amazing! I think i’m genuinely shocked by the sheer portion size. Truly worth your coin! I tried the sichuan fish and oysters. Although the fish was a bit to oily for me it was so decadent and soft it tasted excellent. Really loved the sichuan ghost peppers as well this is truly authentic sichuan food. The oysters however, these were so good some of the best oysters I’ve had. I literally think about it all the time. Highly reccomend comming here! ”
