"What a nice surprise! Honestly, I 've been wondering about this place for years and never tried it till today. By looking from the parking lot, I regretfully assumed some unflattering things, but boy was I wrong! The Fish with Tender Tofu was exactly what you would expect from a great Szechuan restaurant. It 's perfect with steamed rice. The Green Pepper Beef had a really nice dark soy sauce flavor and the beef had the perfect texture to it that is tender but still thick enough to put your teeth into. The green peppers were still crunchy even after being in a takeout box. Eggplant with Basil actually had tons of basil! Smelled sooo good! Lo Mein Special had shrimp, chicken and beef in it. Nicely sweet and savory. Lastly the Mix Vegetable Flame-pot; I was not ready for all the flavors from a Mix Vegetable dish. I don 't recall ever having cumin based dish from a Chinese restaurant, so took me a few seconds to process, but it was soo yummy. Beware though, it also had a ton of red firecracker chili in it. The twice cooked pork is probably one of the best pork-belly dish I 've had in a long time. Its pork is smokey and savory and the crunchy pepper and cabbage are great compliments. One last thing, they use high quality, reusable takeout containers, so perfect for keeping leftovers for few meals. p.s. I 've been to the restaurant at least 3 times since the initial review and it 's been consistently amazing. The pictures probably don 't match up since they 're from different visits. Enjoy!"

This is one of the best Szechuan restaurants in the area. The spicy bride and basil lamb were absolutely fantastic. Although the service was a bit slow since it was New Year's Day, the staff were very kind and friendly.

This restaurant offers truly authentic Szechuan cuisine! The flavors are amazing, and the portion sizes are quite generous for the price. The service is excellent, provided by a friendly and welcoming staff. We’ve decided to make this our favorite spot!

We were on the hunt for a dumpling spot near Edmonds when we stumbled upon this gem while searching for Szechuan Wontons on Google. What a find! Skip the lunch specials—those are your typical Americanized Chinese dishes like orange chicken and beef with broccoli. Head straight to the back of the main menu for some of the best spicy wontons and Dan noodles. No need to drive all the way to Bellevue anymore! They even have Mapo Tofu!

Get Szechuan to cope with the grey weather. It is one of the few Asian cuisine that is open on a Sunday in the area, and people have written how it is a hidden gem and I fully agree. The fillet tho- so chunky and the best Szechuan sauce I had in Seattle, you have to go with it. The crispy chicken was actually crushed like Panda Express I expected crispy skin, so note that some of the dishes were very westernized. Would be a 4 but extra star for the nice lady probably the owner who seems like an amazing person. Your dumplings are next on the hit list. View menu

First time eating here, I wqs pleasantly surprised. Chongqing chicken was very tasty but I do wish there was a bit more chicken in it. There was way more chilis than chicken. Cucumber salad was very tasty but a bit on the salty side. Crispy garlic chicken was really good, the wonton in spicy sauce was ok. Dumpling in Sichuan sauce had more flavor. Dry green beans were good, beef lomein was pretty good. Eggplant in garlic sauce was very tasty. Overall I wouod definitely order food from here again, maybe try some other dishes. People were super friendly.

Never tried this restaurant before and I'm glad we did. We ordered for NYE and the food was delicious. Pick up at the restaurant was simple. Didn't wait long as they were preparing the last dish when I got there. Chongqing Crispy Chicken was crispy, spicy, and savory. Dan Dan Noodles are delicious. Just make sure you mix well! Mapo Tofu had a perfect amount of numbing factor from the Szechuan peppercorns. Pork with Garlic Sauce was delicious as well. Boiled Fish with Hot Chili was spicy! Loved it! The fish was silky and vegetables absorbed all the broth and chili. Yum! Overall, the food was delicious, though a bit heavier on the salty side. I'll definitely be ordering from here again with a...
