Step into a lively yet unassuming atmosphere reminiscent of traditional China at this expansive Chinese restaurant. The modest décor echoes a sense of nostalgia, juxtaposed with its modern touches after recent renovations. Diners are drawn here for the wide-ranging menu that specializes in authentic Sichuan cuisine and boasts popular dishes such as spicy chicken with Sichuan peppercorns, baozhong (sweet and sour pork), beef skewers, and delightfully tangy fermented potato salad. Dim sum is on offer during lunch hours only, and while vegetarian options are available, they tend to be spicier than usual. Despite varied reports on service efficiency, patrons can generally expect prompt dish arrivals, though interaction styles may quiz those accustomed to overly attentive servers. Undoubtedly bustling during peak hours, this establishment remains a go-to spot for those wanting robust flavors reflective of genuine Chinese culinary tradition, albeit occasionally marred by inconsistent seasoning.
