The Chinese food was definitely authentic and exceptional. You can usually tell how good a Chinese place is based on the number of Chinese customers, and this place did not disappoint! The service was super quick and the waiters were really attentive despite a full house. Only drawback is the atmosphere, which can feel a bit crowded, but it’s a vibe :)

Lots of authentic sichuan dishes, portion was generous and SPICY. But it makes us to slurp more and more rice. 非常下饭。 Service was excellent, the lady kept giving me napkins because I was drenched in sweat and kept refilling my drink Will come again for sure. I drove almost 3 hours to give this place a try and really worth my time. Affordable price, tasty food, warm reception, what more can you ask for?

Came here with a group of 9. We did call ahead but got sat right away even though it was decently busy. We shared a lot of dishes family style and all left feeling full and everything was great. Everyone really enjoyed the green beans a lot! As a person who doesn’t like super spicy food, still try everything! I love chili oil and found the spice level to be good on most of the items that were labeled as spicy. Would go again for sure, great food.

So good. Fresh noodles and wontons with bright and rich Sichuan chili flavors… complete with a bit of a numbing sensation and that crazy enhanced bright citrusy mild chili burn. Can’t wait to return. Recommend the Dan Dan noodles and the wonton appetizer.

Great Szechuan restaurant where you can get the flavor and spice in full. It’s different from most of Chinese restaurants in the states, they offer authentic food with clear communication and friendly service. I highly recommended the popcorn chicken, their Mapo tofu is good too but a bit mild.

My wife is Chinese, and through her I was able to get away from typical takeout and discover REAL Chinese food. This was in England, and we have our favorite restaurants for each region. I’m visiting St Louis for work and wanted to find a legit spot, and found it here! VERY good food, freshly made. Highly recommend!

This place is definitely a place for dine in. We went here pretty regularly and everything we ordered was good. The staff were nice. Service was good. I like the seasoning of the food here. Portion for dine in was much bigger than carry out. The eggplant dish is my go to dish here. I do not recommend using carry out app because portion size is small.
