Benjamin Earl EvansSeptember 24, 2017Top ranked Chinese eating in Chinatown. It's run down on the inside, but definitely worth the wait
Curtis ShoungMay 11, 2018Spicy beef noodle soup is a great lunch option in the area. Get there before the lunch rush
Daniel WongAugust 21, 2015The fish fillet in Szechuan spicy broth. I think I eat that almost 52 times a year 😛
Diego RomeroMarch 17, 2014Great spicy szechuan food! Order the Chicken with explosive Chilli Pepper! Worth the wait definitely.
Sebastian PitzlerAugust 19, 2013One of the most authentic and deliciously Chinese food I have ever had. Try it!!!
_August 22, 2014Everything you order will most likely be mild to make-you-sweat spicy! Try the chicken!- Jiexi CaoJune 19, 2015Reserve a table. Waited like 40 mins in a Monday night! But good food, San Francisco priced.
Pavan KulkarniFebruary 4, 2018Get the spicy fish filet with veg fried rice. Try the eight flower tea as well
VansiApril 1, 2016For the love of God, do not order a general tso's chicken when you can get all that Sichuan goodness.
erin bidwell-giannoneSeptember 9, 2012The food here is very good. I suggest the chicken with explosive chili! The pork dumplings are good as well :)
AdamJuly 22, 2013good sichuan food. but some waits. sister restaurant in the inner richmond chili house == nicer staff, same menu, and no waits.
Dumplings, beef roll, ma po tofu with pork. Try the pepper chicken once.
Kyle EgbertMarch 21, 2016Very good but kitchen times are about an hour or more at peak times. Not a quick in and out.
- Explosive chili chicken is great, but try the mala pig trotters! Super delicious.
Julian NamOctober 21, 2011Chicken with explosive chili pepper (aka Explosive chili pepper with chicken). And the tan tan noodles. Hot/Sour soup.
David Stephen KalonickOctober 15, 2010This is true authentic Szechuan Cuisine! Everything is good. make sure and try the Green Onion Pancake, and the Hong Kong style Tan Tan Noodle.
Always busy for a reason..it's delicious!! Authentic food, and the best Szechuan in California!
Michael FourreNovember 4, 2017Food was pretty good and price was decent. Service was friendly but spotty. Definitely more desirable than a lot of the other spots in Chinatown but nothing seriously special.
Patience LeBlancAugust 9, 2013Dumplings and pot stickers were awesome, but the house sauce had to much vinegar.
Sara StorerJuly 4, 2012If you're looking for a non-spicy option, the Orange Chicken is a good way to go.
Justin TuretskyOctober 12, 2013Some things do not cater towards the American palette. Order carefully. Wasn't so into the flaming chili oil (beef). It was a a bowl of oil featuring some beef. Not that good.
Darwish GaniJune 29, 2013Surprised this place got the ratings it did. Not too impressed, seemed like cheaper Asian food to be honest

"Very cool place. Get yourself a Lucky Buddha (bottle is amazing) and some of that Chinese elixir; just ask for "in-gah-pa"."

"Of course the egg custard is perfect. But don't overlook the curry chicken bun for a savory taste!"

"The front room is a great place to watch the city pass by while imbibing first rate classic cocktails served by a charming bartender. The olives are darn tasty too."
