"Fairly new Szechuan restaurant, direct competition to Mala just down the street. Beautiful decor inside with wood based materials, very elegant. A few bar seats, but tables are better for eating. We waited around 35 minutes, with 12 groups in front of us, not bad in terms of wait time. They turned the table around quickly. Service was quick as well. Everything we ordered was good. Flavorful, lots of spices, and nothing tasted bland. Szechuan pepper corns, dry chilis, peanuts, all iconic spices in Szechuan cuisines. Dishes were all family style, so be ready to share. My only issue was with the way the Asian staffs' treatment to their back of the house crews from watching their interactions through body languages and gestures. I understand that they were busy, but there was no excuse for disrespect to anyone."

"We like the aesthetic look and very details of the restaurant, I would rate it 10/10 for that. We ordered several dishes like Beef Trio, Pork Intestine, Spicy Wonton and Ma-Ma Hot Fish (my favorite dish, so fresh and numbing). However, parking can be very challenging during peak hours. Expect long lines during weekends, but they tend to move quickly. Overall good experience and I’d recommend to others and we definitely come back!"

"I have to admit it is the best Sichuan restaurant I’ve ever been. The dishes are really authentic and decent. It is nicely decorated with beautiful oriental interior. The service and atmosphere is nice. The staff worked there are really friendly and politely. The food is so addictive which makes you wanna order more even every dish is already a big portion."

"Waited about an hour for a table of four on a weekday night but was worth it! Overall great service and ambiance. Flavors are authentic and menu is extensive. Pepper Lover: very spicy, large portion, good for ppl who can eat spicy, tender, numbing taste, pairs well with rice Sautéed Chinese long beans with Eggplant: very flavorful, best texture on eggplant we’ve tasted, great portions Swing Pork belly: very good presentation, cucumber added freshness without interfering with the flavor, sauce was garlicky and spicy Claypot Beef with small potatoes: super good, lots of textures, very good potato/dough balls, not spicy Fish: very spicy, fish is good when dipped in tea, super tender fish, Green grape & strawberry yakult: tasted mediciney, very good to balance out spices"

"Went here with my coworkers and we had a blast! The food was so tasty and full of the tingling feeling that you would get from all those peppercorn! And better yet, the spice did not overpower the actual flavor of the dishes, which happens frequently with overly-spicy food. All the dishes we ordered were amazing. We also went during a work day so there was no wait time. I also really like the vibe and decor of the restaurant. Will definitely come back here!"
