EricJanuary 31, 2014If you adore Spicy food and you are around Chinatown in Philly, this is the place for you! I order the lamb bowl, spicy fried chicken, spicy seafood soup and string beans. Lamb bowl RECOMMENDED👍
Helen ChungApril 16, 2014Excellent food, fresh ingredients, seems pretty authentic. If you like things spicy, you gotta try this place out. Best meal I've had in a long time in Chinatown!

Awesome food and huge portions! The fish fillet in spicy sauce and the changqing spicy chicken are especially delic!
Sophia HJuly 14, 2015For spicy food lovers! My parents (from szechuan province) always like to come here, so the food must be pretty authentic here haha.

Chris RichardsMarch 20, 2012A very authentic Chinese experience. They even have the round tables that are so common in China!
jenny wangAugust 11, 2012Favorite Sichuan place hands down very authentic. Get the 夫妻肺片 and 水煮鱼. Avoid the hot pot, expensive and not impressed.- Hannah KimDecember 2, 2011Try the shredded beef with long hot peppers, the dan dan noodles & the boiled dumplings in hot oil
- Many of the dishes are very hot so order some vegetables to soak up the heat.
