Stepping into this lively and informal eatery transports you straight to a bustling corner of Sichuan and Hunan, offering an array of homestyle delicacies. The menu boasts items like mixed noodles with marinated beef and tofu, spicy duck tongue, and a beloved mashed potato noodle mix. Diners might also enjoy the red-hued keel soup with its rich, umami flavor, or the surprising delight of crispy Jinsha sweet potato strips cloaked in salted egg yolk. Those yearning for a more adventurous taste should ask about the varying spice levels before diving headfirst into fiery offerings. Although renowned for its genuine flavors and substantial portions, it's worth noting the unexpected practice of adding a service fee upfront, seemingly linked to their cash and card payment preferences. With its strategic location near famous landmarks, the restaurant subtly marries the charm of authentic Chinese cuisine with a contemporary fast-food approach.
