Lizzy Saxe: The dan dan noodles are great but don't sleep on the rest of the menu. It's hard to go wrong. Wontons in chili oil are a must-have, and so are the eggplant and mapo tofu.

Ben G: Don't bother with the paper menu. There are fifteen items on the wall and each is a solid, can't-miss specialty. Big Tray Chicken is a must if you brought friends.

Yoni Zloczewski: Mapo Tofu has the right amount of heat and it isn't gloppy in texture. The dry sautéed string beans are simple but delicious. The three pepper chicken is a crowd pleaser as is the cumin lamb.
