    two bowls of soup and rice on a table
    Zoe D.

    Food was tasty with a reasonable price. It's the best Sze chuan food she ever had after moved to Boston for 6month, according to my friend. A fun story when we visit the restaurant, heard the owner was so spontaneous that will offer friends extra food. There's a guy who ordered fired rice only, but the owner offered him a chinese style soda and also dumplings.

    Magically yummy authentic Sichuan Cuisine! This restaurant has become our regular obsession of ours. We are always greeted warmly by the staff and treated two many delights of spicy yumminess. We often choose the dry pot, at least one of their noodles, and fried rice. All of which are delectable. Additionally we've tried lots of the options from the vegetable menu. Standouts have been the mapo tofu & garlic eggplant. This is definitely some of the best Sichuan food I've had outside of China! Run there now!

    Why couldn't this be on the website or yelp before I drove here?

    Lights out. Door locked. Closed without notice on yelp or on their website. Not planning a return trip. Big disappointment.

    Move over Chang's House! There's a new authentic kid on the block. When I saw the new sign up for Our Zone I was confused about what it was but when I found the menu I got extremely excited. The menu is authentic Sichuan food with all my favorites. For starters the homemade dumplings were out of this world! They were so light and well made with thin wrappers. Some of the best traditional Chinese style dumplings. We had the shredded pork with garlic sauce which I wasn't sure about but turned out to be my favorite dish. We also had the spicy stir fried chicken which was also delicious. We threw in the stir fried string beans for some greenery. They were super spicy and fresh. The ladies who took our order were really helpful and sweet. They said people could still order more American dishes like general gaus but honestly do yourself a favor and branch out to their menu items. Can't wait to try them all. Such a welcome restaurant to the neighborhood.

    Limited Street Parking…read more The food made up for the wait time but it was very long. This place was packed, we came in no reservation and the wait time they told us just kept getting longer. We eventually were able to get in, there is a small space to wait with snacks though. Once our table was almost ready the host allowed us to order and once sat it came almost right away. We ordered the la-xi chicken with less spice, this has small crispy chicken pieces and lot of peppers, had to go in and pick out the little pieces. Truthfully wish it was less pepper and more chicken especially $23.95. The mapo tofu was delicious the perfect numbing sensation that I love. A must try dish was the fish fillet with crispy rice. This was $34 but it is perfect for cold day. They bring this dish out pour the soup on top and let it boil until the crispy gets cooked. We got the green beans as well, pretty standard nothing special. We got a little discount as well, I think for a late night special. The entire meal came with tea and the restaurant had calm setting with wooden interior

    Disappointing Service & Poor Seating Arrangement…read more Extremely disappointed with our experience here. I made a reservation for 6 people One Month in advance (in fact, today is my birthday) expecting a comfortable dining setup for my group. However, upon arrival, we were squeezed into a table clearly designed for 4 people. When we pointed this out, the staff insisted it was a '6-person table' and refused to move us to the larger tables available, claiming those were reserved for 7-8 people. This is inconsistent and unprofessional, as we have been seated at those larger tables with a group of 6 before. What's the point of making a reservation so far in advance if the restaurant can't provide adequate seating? The lack of flexibility and the dismissive attitude of the staff ruined our evening. For a place like Mountain House, I expected much better service. Will not be coming back anytime soon."

The employees like to gossip the customers. I sat right next to the front desk. I heard they said the big table didn't order too much food and didn't order expensive food (there was a table with 6 people). I didn't order the rice with my meal on purpose because they will bring my rice first before the meals come. They didn't happy with it. They were complaining about it in the front desk and I heard it. I ordered the soda after the meals came, they didn't like it either. One of the waitress pushed another waitress and said, I don't want to go to grab. The other waitress said, I don't want to go either. If they don't like to work or they don't like servicing people, they don't have to work as waitresses. I don't understand why the owner hired them or maybe the owner agreed what they do? I ordered the food from chowbus. They just delivered the food out. They even asked for at least 15% tips? They didn't even want to deliver my soda or rice, they asked me to tip them???

    The food was not bad but the service was horrible. We went during dinner time expecting it to be…read morereally busy but surprisingly, it was only half full. They sat us (2) at the table nearest to the kitchen/front desk/bathroom, and I saw that there were open tables further towards the window. So I asked if we can sit by the window instead. Those tables are bigger and seats 4 people. The waitress turns to another worker and tells her in Chinese that we wanted to sit by the window in which this worker responds with "两个人还想坐窗边" (Two people and they want to sit by the window seat?!) in a sassy tone and then she scoffs. Mind you, this whole time we've only spoken in English but I am fluent in Chinese so I understood everything. The waitress turns back to us and just shakes her head no without any explanation. At that point, I was just like okay, they probably expects the restaurant to get busy and wants to keep the tables open. But guess what, there's literally two people sitting by the window who happens to be Chinese aunties and they were chatting it up with the waitresses and being all friendly. It was giving special treatment. The whole time we were there, they would put food down on our table and not even acknowledge us even when we would say thank you. It's almost like "here damn" when they put our food down. No eye contact, no smile, no your welcome, no "enjoy your food". And the whole time, I couldn't figure out who's actually our server because random people would give us the food and fill our water. And the whole time, that window seat was open. So I'm genuinely so confused. And it ruined my mood for the rest of the meal. Now for the food, it was what you'd expect, packed with flavor and spices. Though the dry pot was very salty and it was very confusing ordering it because it doesn't really say if it comes with vegetables and we also couldn't order any vegetables using the 3 meat option. The egg plants were really good. The soup dumplings were alright, a little dry and greasy for my liking. The skewers were my favorite. The chili wontons were flavorful, I love the sauce, but the wontons themselves taste kind of old/not fresh. We wouldn't come back again just because the food is not unique, you can find it at any Chinese restaurant like mountain house down the street. The service however seemed like it's consistently bad seeing the other reviews. And if you're going to expect a 15% minimum tip then at least act like you like your job and serve your customers with a good attitude.

We always get the pot for 4 (have never come with less than 4 people) and this worked for us even with a party of 5 - it's a ton of food for a decent price. We always get the traditional sauerkrout pot with fish and mix and match the appetizers - I am partial to the spicy chicken and fried dough (youtiao), but all are solid. The only one I didn't love was the noodles given you're given plenty of carbs already. The mochi is honestly super delicious as well if you have room for dessert - it's a great texture and flavor. Overall, we have enjoyed every meal we've had here and could not recommend it enough. Service is also solid and boxing your meal results in a super fun packaging that is easy to transport.

Mouthwatering Chicken in Chili Sauce口水雞: The only dish I ordered, and it's my favorite among Sichuan dishes. Very satisfying. The chicken was tender, and the chili oil was fragrant but not spicy. Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings with Crab Meat蟹粉小籠包, Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings豬肉小籠包: Like Fuchunju富春居, the soup dumplings had a slightly dry and hard skin, not as good as Zoe's風味亭. However, the soup was rich, the filling was tender, and the seasoning was umami, so it was still very good. It even came with ginger slices, which was a thoughtful touch! Pork Dumplings in Chengdu Zhong Sauce鍾水餃: I'd forgotten the Zhong Dumplings I had in Chengdu ten years ago, but I really liked these. The rich, sweet aroma of brown sugar was incredibly appealing. Shanghai Vegetable and Pork Wonton Soup上海菜肉大餛飩: The broth was light and flavorful, the meat filling firm and plump, with a satisfyingly coarse texture and a rich meaty aroma. A pleasant surprise. Sichuan Dan Dan Noodles四川擔擔麵: The first bite was good, the sesame sauce was very fragrant. But it got spicier and spicier, and eventually I couldn't stand it anymore... Chinese Wood Ear Mushroom Salad涼拌木耳: Bland and tasteless. Steamed Crystal Shrimp Dumplings水晶蝦餃: My friend ordered these.
