Please believe all the unpleasant experience people had and wrote here. It's real. The manager guy and staffs used to maintain upscale professionalism, but not anymore. Major downgrade, not even a hole in the wall restaurant level of service. They are not only not attentive, almost don't care about customers. Food is still OK. It's just sad to see good restaurants go down like this.

TLDR: One of the BEST Chinese spicy food locations that you can visit. If you can speak Mandarin, that 's a big plus!

I highly recommend everything on their menu but on a serious note can vouch for their mapo tofu and crispy spicy diced chicken. Ugh! I am soooo mad at myself for thinking that this was closed because I viewed it from the big parking lot! The window designs are so misleading... don 't be fooled and make sure to walk in. And as you can imagine, big parking lot means easy parking yay! I visited with a friend on a Saturday night and ordered their mapo tofu, crispy spicy diced chicken with dry chili, and asparagus with wood ear mushrooms. The mapo tofu was SPICY but in a good way; each bite was flavorful, and there is more than enough to go around for two. The asparagus and wood ear mushrooms were an excellent and gentle palate cleanser, a nice, crunchy relief from the resto f the spice in our dishes. And lastly, the spicy crispy spicy diced chicken... if you could chew fire and spit fireballs, this is probably the closest thing to it it 's addicting. Despite how spicy it is, it was so tasty that it was difficult to not take another bite... my friend and I ate this it were dessert and needless to say, no leftovers on this dish! Thankfully there is some relief for the hot and spicy dishes. The interior is decorated fairly clean, mostly lights and brights. The overall tone is quite relaxing, and contrasts well how much you might be sweating if you aren 't used to handling spicy foods.

Called to try to do a family gathering for 10 people, 4 of them kids, and they said they couldn't accommodate us. Only the large party room with a minimum of $688. They couldn't even put two tables near each other? I guess they don't want our business.

Even impressive for my native Sichuanese, pricey yet high class, second floor are all private rooms for parties, conferences, and celebratory events. About $100 per person. Clean has karaoke music. Be aware some non compliant clients smoke! Hope you avoid them
