Reviews
- philosophical_aspenA friend kept telling me to try this Sichuan place because of their boiled fish, so I finally went. And honestly, it lived up to the hype. The signature boiled fish was so good — the fish slices were super tender and the broth was that perfectly spicy, numbing Sichuan style that just hits. I also got the cold jelly noodles from northern Sichuan on the side, and wow, they were the perfect match — slippery, tangy, a little spicy, really refreshing against the heavier fish. The dining room was bright and spacious with lots of red decor that gave it a fun vibe, and even though it was busy it didn't feel cramped. Servers were friendly and food came out fast. Whole experience was really comfortable, definitely coming back.
