C'est une délicieuse cuisine sichuanaise, très authentique. L'ambiance est un peu bruyante, pas idéale pour discuter tranquillement, mais parfaite pour les amateurs de plats épicés.

Authentic Sichuan Food - even regular is very spicy so order carefully. Interesting Chinatown-ish ambiance. Service is good. Tried the Sichuan boiled fish in spicy broth & it was very filling with generous proportion.

The flavour is not bad but where is the meat? We ordered a chicken dish that's $30 & it's just a lot of bones; very little meat. I also don't like they use melamine plates & bowls, it's toxic especially for really hot food like these.

The restaurant serves authentic Sichuan food that will satisfy your craving. The seasoning is strong so be prepared to enjoy the heat. The staff (likely students) is very nice & works hard.
