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.

Quelle merveilleuse découverte sur la rue Bishop. Nous avons passé un moment absolument délicieux & tout était parfait.

La présentation des plats est impeccable, notamment le mélange de légumes & de viandes servi dans cette magnifique assiette tressée originale. Chaque bouchée était riche en saveurs & parfaitement relevée.

L'ambiance est conviviale & chaleureuse, idéale pour partager un bon repas entre amis. Nous repartons comblés & nous avons déjà hâte de revenir pour goûter au reste de la carte.

The food here is amazing! We've tried a lot of different dishes & everything was so good! Be prepared to wait a little bit though. We usually try to go right when it opens, give our name & number to the hostess & there's usually about a 30 min wait to get a table.

I've been coming here very regularly & I've always been impressed with the food & prompt service.

However, I encountered a rather puzzling situation during my last visit. We ordered two dishes with our waitress but when the food arrived there was an extra dish. Our waitress apologized saying there must have been a glitch with her terminal. However a man came twice after trying to accuse us of having ordered the extra dish. Not sure what he thought hounding a customer for their own mistake would do aside from disgruntling us. No idea if he was the manager but… weird very weird.
