Service was not excessively friendly, but I went into a bit late (30 minutes before closing). I had G8 Chengdu Spicy Steam Pot (with seafood, meat and vegetables). It was excellent with a good mixture of eclectic vegetables and mushrooms, fish and beef. It was served with rice and tea.

And fish and celery emptying (house speciality) is a must, even if you don't think you like fish

Clean restaurant. Tried the house noodle and Zha-Jiang-Mian. Really enjoyed the chewy and toothy noodles. The house noodle broth is spicy but good. The Zha-Jiang Mian is a little sweeter than my liking but that's just a matter of personal taste. Also order some delicious dumplings. The pork and corn filling is very tasty. The house dumpling made with fish and celery is also very good. Ordered some frozen dumpling to take home.

However, I do think that the sweet and sour sauce has an excessive amount of red food coloring, as it tends to stain my son's lips. Despite this, he really enjoys the dish.

We tried the fresh fish fillet with pickled mustard, which had a good sour flavor but could use more spice and pickled leaves. The fish itself was very good. We also ordered the Spicy Chicken, which was tasty but could have been more flavorful - it was mostly salty and lacking in aroma. We were pleasantly surprised with complimentary oranges and appreciated the frequent water refills. The staff even asked if we could handle spicy food, something we had never been asked before. Overall, it seems like there may have been a change in ownership as the menu is new and the portions seem smaller. While the food is still decent, it seems like it was better in the past.
