  A solid choice for Sichuan-style Chinese food with bold flavors and generous portions. We tried several dishes, including a spicy fish dish, stir-fried beef with fresh vegetables, hot-and-sour soup, and another light soup. The fish came in a rich, deep-red spicy sauce with plenty of flavor, while the beef was tender and paired nicely with crisp green peppers, onions, and cilantro.<br><br>The portions are quite generous and great for sharing family-style. I also liked the complimentary seasoned peanuts--simple but addictive while waiting for the main dishes.<br><br>One particularly nice touch is their appreciation for the community: teachers receive 20% off their entree on Mondays, and they also advertise discounts for seniors and first responders on selected days.<br><br>Overall, flavorful food, good portions, and a broad menu that includes homemade dumplings and Sichuan specialties. Some dishes were stronger than others, but it was still a very enjoyable meal.

  Good delicious Chinese food. It's part of a strip mall with ample parking. The staff is welcoming and they offer promos throughout the week. There's lots to choose from their lunch specials which is your choice of entree with a soup or soda. For $12 I think it's a pretty good deal.

  If you love spicy foods, this is the place for you. Try the crispy, spicey fish. It was very good. Side dishes were good also. The service was excellent and the prices are reasonable.

  This place offers a great variety of lunch specials at a very reasonable price. For $11.95, you get rice, a choice of soup, and about 30 different dishes to pick from. The portions are generous, and the complimentary peanuts at the table are super addictive. The fish dishes are especially good--very flavorful and silky soft. They also offer some birthday specials. The only thing i don't like is that the restaurant is quite dark inside.

  Great Szechuan food, and you can also buy gift cards using cash to get a bonus amount. More authentic than most places in the region.<br><br>Particularly good is the shredded potato, sour and spicy green beans, the spicy fish or beef in chilly pond style and the lamb in cumin.<br><br>Back open again! They had a bit of a sprinkler mishap in the kitchen which necessitated a renovation and complete repermitting that took a couple weeks. Still great food, and the menu updated a bit, too.
