A lot of parking, but few tables. Quick preparation time. Clean restroom with running water and fresh soap.
Well done!
This is the place to go for traditional Chinese szechuan family style meal. If you can't handle spicy food this may not be the place for you, though they do have a few plates that isn't so spicy. I've been coming here for years since they opened and the prices has increase quite a bit here. There tends to be a wait here during dinner time so prepare to wait. This place is a great mama pop restaurant!
This place was so good !! I called ahead to ask about the veggie dishes and they said everything under the vegetables section is meat free (including seasoning) except for the vermicelli with minced pork. The eggplant and string bean dishes were my favorite and the mapo tofu was delightful. They're closed 3-5pm for dinner prep fyi !
Family loves to order 10 course meal take out meals from here. Many of their spicy dishes use the numbing “ma-la” spices - beware! Otherwise, must order everything from the salt and pepper fish, pork chop, green beans, spicy tofu, spicy fish. Enjoy!!!
Had a great lunch! At the tofu with celery, crunchy tofu cubes and eggplant. If you are vegan make sure to ask to remove meat from some of the dishes. The meal came with some good tea and plenty of rice. Thumbs up!
Chingqing cold dishes is my ultimate dish. The one from this place has good meat quality, but not much tendon. Not the tastiest but still good
Fried eggplant, kidney, pork belly, cumin lamb. Brilliant cooking, attentive service, lovely tea, bright dining area, generous portions and prices.
This is the some of the best Sichuan 川菜 I've had in the US. Ignore the bad reviews from the random white people who come here and order orange chicken and give it bad ratings. This place is legit. The portions are huge. The chef is apparently actually from Sichuan, so it's better than many of the other places around Irvine that also sell Sichuan dishes. In particular, their mapo tofu is the best I've had in the United States - when I was living on the east coast I would eagerly await flying back to CA just to come here and order it.
Amazing food great atmosphere. Wonderful employees.
This place is the best, I will say the BEST that I have had. My entire family LOVES the food. There are so many fantastic choices- it is a flavor explosion in your mouth. The service is really fast, we usually end up ordering around 5 dishes. If I could give 10 stars I will give it!
Our first time here and they're were happy to work with us! You don't get a great smell when you walk through the door but don't be fooled. The orange chicken and Mongolian beef were delicious, and the house fried rice was pretty good but could've used a tad more soy sauce. Overall a really nice restaurant with delicious food and speedy to-go orders!
