Reviews
- shore_aniseBeen here a few times before and came back with a friend — still super authentic, which I love. The mapo tofu was so silky and the spice level was just right, not too much, not too little. The grilled fish was amazing, super crispy on the outside and tender inside, and the sauce was so rich the veggies had soaked up all that flavor. Place looks cleaner than before too, tables and chairs all neat and tidy, really comfortable to sit and hang out. Staff were friendly, food came out fast, and anytime we needed something they were right there. Honestly left feeling totally satisfied, portions are generous, perfect spot for catching up with friends.
