“ This place is bomb. If I crave the spicy Szechuan flavored this is for sure the place to go! I was sweating like no other at the end of the meal but every bite was worth it. We had the Szechuan flavored hot pot with meat. My wife said it brought her back to her college days when she actually studied in Chengdu, Szechuan. The eggplants were to die for. We finished half a bow of rice just with the eggplants. This place definitely satisfied the desire for traditional Chinese Szechuan flavor. So worth it!!! ”
“ The experience here was fantastic. The staff are polite and very attentive. The food here is served family style and the portions are large. We had four people and it was more than enough food with Dan Dan Noodles, and the 3 dishes in the pics. We had fried rice, twice cooked pork and the beef strips. All three we're delicious and cooked perfectly. The food comes out hot and fresh. You also get a perfect level of spice! ”
“ I've visited three times so far. All the foods I ordered were delicious. I studied in China for a year and the foods here remind me of back in the days. Portions are generous, so highly recommend to share and enjoy more plates. ”
“ This place was a first for us! The food was delicious but I ordered the spicy chicken bowl and it was too spicy. Also we ordered the beef balls, they were good but I found myself chewing pieces of fat so that was a huge no no for me. Overall this is a must try if you’re ever in Honolulu at Ala Moana mall ”
“ Excellent Szechuan food. We asked for it not too spicy and it actually came out perfect. Really flavorful and not too oily. ”
“ Had dinner here for a family of 4. We ordered fried shredded potatoes, tofu and vegetable soup, Stir-fried water spinach, stir- fried eggplant and beans, and garlic pork ribs. We asked for very mild level of spiciness and low salt. Everything was yummy, good portion and reasonably priced. We finished eating everything without wasting any food. We could have ordered some more traditional Sichuan dishes which I am sure are also yummy but we wanted to eat more veggies to remain healthy during traveling. This is a great place to go to get authentic Chinese/Sichuan foods. We also ordered ice jelly with brown sugar which is also very authentic. Highly recommend! ”
“ Mouth watering delicious. Love the intestines dry pot, so good!!! Recommend the dessert, ice jelly with brown sugar, but be warned it's a big dessert be best to share ”
“ We had a great meal here, it started with a small wait even though we had a reservation but that was the people refusing to leaves fault really. I guess it was just that good haha. Once seated though everything was great, the server was very attentive and very helpful with all our questions. We ordered a wide variety of stuff and kept the heat level to standard as we were told it can get intense. Good thing we listened because the base line heat is great and just enough to be hot without killing the meal. Trust me we love heat and hot food and it was good. I have to include the drinks as well , sorry they did come first. The mixed drinks were very well made and didn't lack alcohol at all so feel free to get a cocktail as well. Overall it was a good experience, everyone on staff was wearing masks, some even 2. I never saw anyone take theirs off not even once. The owner or manager made her way over and was checking on everyone as well. Definitely give them a try. ”
