They have a VIP room that is perfect for large family gathering, and my parents love to host holiday dinners over there.

I ordered three things: fish fillet with green peppercorn, shredded beef with hot green pepper, andsautéed luffa. Everything tasted great… in addition, the portion is big so so big ????

The dishes are fully priced but they come in very generous portions. The mapotofu may be the best I've had in the United States sofar. The pea leaves were fresh, crisp and tasty. Although they were busy tonight and it wasn't easy to get the tension of someof the servers, they were friendly and quick. Please note that in my assessment I am grading on a full 5 star scale and do sowith an implicit price value curve. I am aware that many others on social media may grade on a 3 point (4 being an averagescore) or 2 point scale (4 being a poor score), but the fact remains that Google gives us a 5 point scale. To me, 4 stars isgreat, 3 stars is average and 5 stars should be rare reserved for true excellence or near perfection.

Very spicy and savory! We ordered a bunch of dishes and they are all very good. I highly recommend the cold szechuan noodles, we finished it before we can take a pic, hence the half finished dish. The frog is very tender, the tofu isgood as well!
