They also sell plenty of non-skewer items. The most notable dishes were the enochi mushroom with pork belly wrap skewer and a pea shoot veggie dish. All the skewers have a similar seasoning/flavor.

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while as I had read reviews saying food was…read moreauthentic. I came in very hungry and ordered the following: wontons in chili oil, Dan Dan noodles, Sichuan spicy tofu. I've had all these dishes at other restaurants before and make the first 2 routinely at home. 1. Dan Dan noodles: portion was huge. It was topped with a creamy very garlicky sauce, including rough chopped fresh garlic ( warmed through but still had some crunch/bite to it). OMG so delicious. Not meat forward (if there was even any meat, I think it was maybe finely sliced fungus instead, it worked perfectly in any case). 2. Wontons in chili oil: I was expecting a bit more flavor to the sauce, instead it was literally just chili oil and seemed kind of diluted and bland even. I added some pieces of garlic from my Dan Dan noodles and let that sit with some dark soy sauce the waitress brought and that did the trick. 3. Sichuan spicy tofu, recommended by the host: came with chicken, fish or beef, I chose chicken. This was massive and I have leftovers I'm looking forward to eating later. Very flavorful with silky tofu. I didn't really enjoy the texture of the chicken though and would have preferred it minced or lower chicken:tofu ratio or with pork. It looks like they have a smaller mapo tofu dish in a different part of the menu without the added meat and I might try that next time. The wild part was the intensity of the Szechuan peppercorn. I routinely crush it freshly at home and eat dishes containing it when out but have never experienced such an intense tingling effect. It felt like my lips and tongue were vibrating and then my water tasted like it had lemon juice squeezed in it. Not sure if it is a different kind than the red one I have at home, or if it is just THAT fresh, but wow. All in all, very enjoyable meal and service. I will for sure be back for the Dan Dan noodles but not if planning to socialize much after given how intensely garlicky they were. Looking forward to trying other dishes on the menu! A suggestion for the menu: I really like the large glossy pictures of each item but it ends up being a lot of pages to turn back and forth through to make a selection, so it would be nice to include just a plain typed list to glance at as well, like a table of contents.

It's also regularly open on typical US holidays, such as Christmas or Thanksgiving, so if you need somewhere to go when everything else is closed, you can really rely on this place. Some things that I think are pretty good here: the vegetable options (though somewhat expensive), the kung pao chicken, the eggplant, the lamb options (including the sliced version, as well as the cumin one where you can add lamb as your option).

Keep in mind this is a small place oriented to take out and delivery…read more I see some reviews here aren't happy with the atmosphere etc. - Lets keep this in perspective, this is a takeout restaurant with 3 formica tables, hard plastic seats, vinyl tile flooring and seating for perhaps 6 or 8 patrons. Rating this poorly on atmosphere is kind of like saying that the air conditioning on your bicycle doesn't work well. The front was clean, the young girl who worked the counter was pleasant. What it is: Decent Chinese food takeout / delivery. I phoned my order in and it was ready for on time pickup, within 10 minutes of ordering. This is not a sit down restaurant. The egg rolls were decent. Not the best I've ever had but If I I had to place them on a one to 10 scale for eggrolls they were a solid 7. Not at all greasy, & decent flavor. We had Sesame Chicken and Pork Lo Mein. Both dishes were good. Not stellar, but but still very good and if this is their norm, then I'll be back when I want Chinese takeout in this area. We had dinner for 3 for $25 including 3 bottled water; ready for pickup in 10 minutes from my phone call. That's a bargain in my book. I meant to snap a photo of their menu and post it but I forgot.
