Food: Hits and misses across dishes

The Chong Qing Fried Chicken, Mapo Tofu, and Toothpick Lamb: all showcasing authentic spices, exceptional flavors, and generous portion sizes. Yet the unforgiving truth is, variety is where things can get a bit sketchy. While the restaurant nails the creativity and value, some dishes may leave you cold, ranging from simply unremarkable to downright intolerable.

  • Very Creative

    Unique, authentic spices create memorable, sophisticated culinary experiences.

  • Okay Quality

    Fish dish was flavorful and fresh, yet fried fish needs speed.

  • Bad Variety

    Food varied from meh to simply unpalatable for different tastes.

Vibe: Undeniably inviting ambiance

Outstanding modern design, clean as a new pin. The ambiance here couldn't be more desirable. This charming little spot manages to raise the bar when it comes to creating a cozy and authentic atmosphere, often earning fulsome praise for its aesthetic.

  • Great Ambiance

    Cozy, clean, modern design; consistently praised for authenticity and vibe.

Perks: Service needs a shot in the arm

Finding parking might require luck and patience, space in the rear lot is usually scarce. While the portions are well suited for groups, the service can feel as unpredictable as a roulette game. And make no mistake, this isn't the ideal place for kids as accommodations for young patrons leave much to be desired.

  • Okay For Groups

    Portions are well-sized for groups but service can vary.

  • Hard To Park

    Difficult finding available parking; limited capacity at rear lot.
