“ Our favorite restaurant in the city. Kung pao chicken was very exceptional. The fish dish is very authentic and great taste. ”
“ Very authentic Sichuan cuisine!! As a pig trotter lover, this is my second time at this restaurant! I stop by every time I pass through New York, and the portions are always huge. Every soup and noodle dish I’ve tried so far has been delicious, and the service is excellent!! ”
“ Tonight my friends and I have a great time in the restaurant. The foods are delicious and the people are nice and patient. It’s a traditional zechun taste that I love. ”
“ We came for the braised pork with abalone, and it did not disappoint. The pork was fresh, tender, and perfectly balanced with just the right hint of sweetness. The abalone was delightfully tender and free of any fishy taste. The braised scallop was an unexpected highlight — paired with bamboo shoots and broccoli, it created a refreshing and flavorful combination. Even the watermelon at the end was pleasantly natural-tasting, not overly sweet. Overall, a wonderful experience, and we’d gladly come back again! ”
“ Came here mostly for their La Ma Ti Hua (老妈蹄花 pig trotter soup). This dish is unbeatable across Manhattan. The rest is decent as well, but not particularly impressive. Pretty solid traditional Szechuan cuisine, could be a bit spicier in my opinion, probably toned down to accommodate the general audience. The fish and duck dishes are also great choices and I highly recommend anyone who hasn’t tried it give it a try here - they’re tender and flavorful, not too spicy and not too many bones. Worth giving it a shot ”
