The service was amazing, very attentive, and everything was clean. The food was pretty good, but there were some dishes I liked more than others. Ordering the boiled chicken slices as an app was the wrong move. It tasted okay, as good as it sounds, but I don't think it was the best app option. The pork belly in mashed garlic was good, but I wish the cucumbers had been more chilled and fresh. I liked Uluh's version of this dish more. Next time I would try the boiled chicken in chili sauce or the crispy fish. The flavor and texture of the braised pork belly were amazing. The pork was tender and fatty. The prawns were fantastic and very garlicky, just how we like it! The rice was pretty good and actually had a decent amount of seafood, but I found the shrimp to be the same quality you would get from a takeout Chinese restaurant. The rice was also on the more steamed side, less on the dry side. All in all, I thought the food was decent, but the service was amazing and the vibes were also a plus.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

For food, it's one of the rare places that serve live lobster sashimi (it was still moving). The taste was more on the bland side since it's the spiny lobster not the maine ones. Can skip this one. Best thing was the steamed blue crab over sticky rice. A very "whole" dish where rice has crab taste and vice versa. The raw crab was special and a change from the Korean ones. Would recommend. The hot and sour soup was not it though. Avoid it. It was sweet.. thought i ordered dessert. All-in select dishes were +. Service was +. Ambiance ehhh.

We were seated promptly, since there was no one else waiting to be seated, and the wait staff was quick to arrive and get our items into the sacks (to keep our stuff from smelling like hot pot all day), and helped us place our order. We got two broths-- mushroom and spicy (mild heat). Y'all, the mild was too hot for us and we were scooping out the peppers out of the broth to make it manageable. The wait staff noticed we were suffering and said the trick to eating spicy hot pot is to dip it in oil, and even brought us some. IT WORKS. Anyway, 10/10. Great tasting food, helpful and caring staff, and overall, a very fun decor/vibe.

The mala side was packed with chilies and had that numbing, fragrant heat that makes you keep going back for more. Everything tasted fresh, and the sauce bar had all the essentials. Heads up: even the "mild" broth has a kick, and the wait can get long at peak hours, so go early or late. Our server was friendly and helpful with recommendations.

We came with a big party of 12, and they were very accommodating, splitting the table and taking separate orders for three families. Let's just say each family ordered plenty. I only wish I'd snapped pictures of what the other families got. We started with the Lucky Six soup dumplings. They came out extremely quick, with just the right amount of broth, and the wrappers weren't so delicate that you had to worry about puncturing them pulling them out of the steamer basket. They held up well and tasted excellent. From there we ordered a whole bunch more. Think family-style portions, but more generous: - **Grandma's braised pork belly** - Super tender, with a flavorful sauce and quail eggs, not too salty. - **Spicy beef and tripe** - Served cold with very thin slices in a nice spicy sauce. It had a kick but wasn't overly hot. - **Peking duck** - We ordered a half duck, and it came with more than enough bao buns to build your own. A nice touch: since we were a big table, they also offered each of the 12 of us a complimentary ready-made Peking duck bun or soup dumpling, including the other two families. We all went with the duck buns, and they were excellent. - **Pan-fried noodles with pork, shrimp and fish** - The one miss. It was so saucy that the noodles were drenched and lost all their crispiness. - **Yang Chow fried rice** - Very nicely done, with big shrimp. These weren't the usual quarter-sized ones, more like half-dollar size. - **Soy sauce squid** - Cooked perfectly, not too salty and not overcooked to the point of being gummy. I also sampled from the other families' tables. Their dim sum dumplings were huge, and the honey roast chicken wings were excellent, crispy with a nice sweet glaze. For dessert, they brought us complimentary sweet soy milk soup with glutinous rice balls. It was sweet but not overly so, and it was awesome. One thing that was new to me: when the bills came, we could pay with Zelle, Venmo or cash. Great spot for a big group. I'd come back just for the pork belly, the duck buns and the soup dumplings.

I was at this Szechuan restaurant earlier in the evening with six others (thanks again, Andie),…read morewhere we sampled a good amount of their dishes. As mentioned, it's a pretty tiny space with one large table that fits 8 comfortably, though probably 9 could fit if needed. Otherwise, there were some smaller seating arrangements. The service was friendly and efficient when it came to taking out dishes and our ordering process. For the table, they gave us some lukewarm water, which was refilled frequently when required. They asked about the spice level, and our host went with medium, which worked, with some of us clarifying that "mala" is fine. In terms of flavors, most dishes had a nice numbing sensation from peppercorns and had plenty of heat, but not so much that it overpowered any one dish. The prices overall might be slightly higher than some other places, but they make up for it with their portion sizes and also by including rice with all entrees. Our only appetizer was the $11 Smashed Szechuan Cucumbers. The cucumbers were sliced into slightly large pieces, and there was a nice sauce that had both heat and a mild black vinegar flavor. I found the ginger a bit light, but overall, it was refreshing and tasty and worked well with some other dishes, which arrived soon afterward. My favorite of the main entrees was the Spicy Shrimp for $32, which was in a giant pot with a good 14 or so large shrimp inside, if not more. Along with the shrimp, there were also potatoes, peppers, scallions, onions, and lotus root slices. The dish reminded me a lot of Mala Xiang Guo/麻辣香鍋/Spicy Dry Pot, which is one of my favorite Szechuan dishes. The shrimp inside were prepared perfectly, while the potatoes were soft and the lotus root had a good crunch. I would recommend this highly. The other most expensive dish was the $40 Xu Chu Braised Chicken, which also arrived in a giant pot. The chicken could be ordered braised or fried, and we got the former. The meat was on the bone, as expected, and tender, with the pieces in a very red broth. This was tasty, with the sour pickled pepper adding a nice extra flavor, along with the typical mala from the non-pickled peppers and peppercorns. A more typical dish, though not in a typical presentation, was the tasty Cumin Beef, which was $30. In comparison to most other spots, the beef was cut into larger slices. Usually, I haven't liked this before, as the larger pieces of beef weren't tender, but that was not the case here. Otherwise, there was a mix of vegetables, including the standard onions along with large pieces of pepper, both green and red. If I had to make a complaint, I wish the onions were also sliced thinner, as they lacked a bit of cumin compared to the meat. Another more typical dish was the $20 Szechuan Bacon, which was their version of Hui Guo Rou/回鍋肉, or Double/Twice Cooked Pork Belly. The pork belly was tender with only a mild chew, and the scallions added a nice refreshing flavor. The heat was there, but I found the douchi/black bean flavor a bit light. I didn't mind this, though, as it made it a bit less salty than usual, and there was plenty of flavor otherwise. The last of the more unique dishes was the Crispy Pork Ribs for $24. The ribs were lightly fried and tender, but some others found them a tad salty. As with other dishes, this came with the usual mix of peppers and vegetables. Finally, the last typical dish was the $13 Mapo Tofu. The portion was a bit smaller than other spots, but that makes sense, as this was the cheapest of all the mains. There was some sourness and a bit of heat, with my only complaint being that I prefer a slightly firmer tofu in this dish for texture, but that's a regional quip. Outside my personal tofu preferences, the flavor was good. They gave us some Bingfen/Sichuan Ice Jelly/冰粉 as a complimentary dessert at the end, which was a nice touch. The ice jelly had a mild sweetness from the brown sugar syrup, and it was refreshing. The toppings included the typical hawthorn/haw flakes on top for sourness, golden raisins for sweetness, and peanuts for crunch. The dessert made a fine ending to our excellent meal. Overall, we had a very good meal here, and I look forward to going back. I wouldn't mind trying their pig trotters, or especially their fish, among other things. I can see why they're popular.

It's a rather small restaurant, with only one large round table, which comfortably seats 8ppl. Otherwise, there are square table of 2-4ppl. There was a constant flow of patrons the entire time we were there. Customer service and hospitality were great; very professional, friendly and efficient. Our shared menu: (We ordered everything "regular spicy", which, for me, was medium spicy but very spicy for others): ~ Smashed Szechuan Cucumbers ($11): fantastic! This is a cold, spicy appetizer. Crisp, flavorful and refreshingly delicious. ~ Xu Chu Braised Chicken ($40): this is a huge pot of chicken; the chicken can be ordered braised or fried. We ordered the braised, and it was delicious. Recommended! ~ Szechuan Bacon ($20): usually called Double Cooked Pork Belly in other restaurants. This was very good. It included lots of hot peppers and vegs. ~ Crispy Pork Ribs ($24): The fried pieces of pork ribs were perfection; albeit slightly greasy (it is fried, after all). This dish also included lots of hot pepper and vegs. ~ Mapo Tofu ($13): this was probably the most standard dish of the bunch. But still very good! ~ Cumin Beef ($30): most of the time, when I order this dish in other restaurants, it just includes the protein. This version had cumin Beef along with lots of hot peppers and vegs. Very good but the pieces of been were small pieces. ~ Spicy Shrimp ($32): this was a very generous portion of large shrimps (shell & head on). This huge pot was full of shrimp, hot peppers, potatoes, lotus root, and other spices. Recommended! ~ Rice (complimentary with each entree). ** They served everyone a complimentary refreshingly cool jelly dessert with Hawthorn flakes on top. This was the perfect way to end our spicy Szechuan dinner! The cool jellys cooled off your szechuan numbed mouth and the hawthorn flakes help with digestion. This was such a well thought out dessert!

The Beef Tenderloin in Brown Sauce is to die for. I loved the Minted Salted Egg Yolk and Sliced Pumpkin so much that I will come back here to order it for Thanksgiving dinner. If you can handle the spice, go for the Fried Squid Head with Spicy Peppery Sauce. It was the table favorite because most of us prefer the head or tentacles of calamari to the rings. The Molten Sugar-Crusted Yams and Dates were phenomenal. It came with a bowl of water on the side to remove stickiness from the serving spoon between helpings. We also feasted on the Sautéed Shredded Beef with Spicy Pepper, Cumin Lamb, Sliced Potatoes with Truffles and Salt and Pepper Shrimp. The pickled salad certainly tickled my fancy. TIP: Eat everything with chopsticks for portion control.
