Very good Szechuan restaurant. Was recommended to me by a family friend who was born in Szechuan, China. Food is fresh and light. The Mapo, Double Cooked Pork, Spicy Chicken, and Duck were all amazing. Definitely give them a try if you are looking for extremely satisfying Szechuan food!

This is one of the best restaurants I go to. I can have legend 72 everyday. Its better than almost all of Chinese restaurants Ive been to. I think its better than Che Li. If you like Mala, try Chendu fish fillet and mapo Tofu. If you like basic, simple lunch special, try Chao Fun, kung pao chicken or sesame chicken.

One of the few places that was open on Christmas. Food was delicious and seemed authentic. I had stir fried beef. I appreciated the notes of ginger I could clearly taste and slices of fresh garlic. Food was hot, fresh, and came out quickly. Staff was very friendly despite being busy. I will make this my neighborhood staple.
