First time trying this restaurant, and I’m so glad I did. I’ve been looking for a legit Chinese spot without having to drive all the way to Cupertino or Millbrae, and this place really hit the mark. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious. I ordered the mapo tofu (as many reviews recommended) and the crispy sliced pork with sweet and sour sauce. Both dishes were perfectly balanced. Flavorful without being overpowering. Not too garlicky, not too peppery, and not overly sweet or salty. It is just right. I’d definitely come back again!

Wow this place has best chinese and Szechuan dishes in SJ. We ordered a variety of typical Chinese and some Szechuan dishes. Everything was great. The mapo tofu is legit. I've looking for this kind of mapo tofu but couldn't find a nearby restaurant that had it. The Szechuan fish fillet was flavorful and not over powering with the heat. A good portion of fish. The chicken corn soup and the stir fried string beans were as expected. Great. I will be going back to try other items and maybe the chef's recommendations.

Not from this area of town, trying out 1st time and ordered 2 items with both made wrong. Felt like they just pushed the sell and not listened to my order. Food tasted fine just made not to my order even with repeated words, face to face, and references to their own posters on the front windows. It's a very open kitchen, so you and clothes will smell like foods coming out of there.

The food was delicious, reasonably priced, and the service was friendly; the owner was very welcoming! The stir-fried beef with scallions and the Mapo tofu with braised pork intestines had generous portions of meat. I initially thought the cabbage was a little too salty, but the owner came over to ask about my experience and, after hearing my feedback, earnestly said he would pay attention to that. I'll definitely come back to eat here again!
