    43. Sliced Pork with Garlic Sauce

    I'll be honest the service can be abrupt but moving here from NYC I'm used to restaurants where the food is fantastic and service is not. BUT the FOOD!! The food is so incredible! Everything I've had has always been perfectly seasoned. I don't really mind the service and I just hope they never move away. This is not a fancy restaurant but the location is convenient and the food is phenomenal. I've personally been to this restaurant over 10 times and I try to order 1-2 new dishes I haven't tried each visit. I haven't tried the more Chinese American style dishes. I don't read Chinese and just try the authentic dishes with sometimes confusing English names. So hopefully these recommendations can help someone who wants to try really high quality, authentic Chinese food. Top two dishes for me: The spicy and crispy chicken are bits of golden crisp fried goodness sautéed with fermented black beans (dou si), chili peppers and Szechuan peppercorns. Tongue numbing and very pleasant spice level (I don't eat super spicy foods). Umami is through the roof. Sliced fish with salted mustard cabbage (generous chunks of boneless fish in a savory and tangy broth with pickled mustard greens, pickled garlic and pickled peppers -perfect for cold day but I can eat this all year round). Additional favorites: Fish slices and tofu in spicy sauce (deep fried fish chunks and silken tofu in mildly spicy Szechuan peppercorn 'mala' -numbing spicy sauce). Fatty beef in pickled sauce (it's actually a soup with thinly sliced tender beef, pickled mustard greens lightly tomato flavored broth) Cumin lamb/beef -both are super tender and flavorful Sliced Pork in garlic sauce (thin strips of stir fried pork w wood ear mushrooms in a very tasty and fragrant sauce) Sichuan style cucumbers (refreshing pickled cucumbers) Spicy green beans -perfectly cooked

    We came in on Christmas Day, and the place was pretty crowded! This was our first time here, and we had heard they had reopened at this new location. We were seated right away, and the menu was pretty extensive so it was hard to decide what to get. - Eggplant with chili sauce (4/5): this had good flavor, I love eggplant. It was semi sweet but still very savory. A bit on the oily side but tasty overall. - Beef fried rice (4.5/5): I loved this fried rice! Super yummy and very flavorful. The beef was cooked well and pretty tender too. - Sliced fish and tofu with spicy sauce (3.5/5): this dish was pretty unique, lots going on and lots of flavors. Pretty spicy but not overpowering. Tasted like a Szechuan flavor and reminded us of amazing Chinese food. My husband was in love with this dish!

    General Tso Beef was tender and sauce didn't overpower the taste of the beef. Very good local restaurant in Columbia.

    i ordered twice cooked pork. The flavor was incredible but the pork had so much fat on it that I couldn't eat it without becoming nauseous.
