This cozy, clean restaurant greets you with the soothing sight of live fish tanks near comfortable booths, creating an inviting and tranquil atmosphere that makes dining a pleasure beyond just the food.

The menu is rich with Szechuan classics and favorites, with highlights that stand out for both flavor and craft. The Orange Chicken delivers a perfect balance of sweet and tangy, while the Hot & Sour Soup, generously laden with chicken and mushrooms, offers a warm, satisfying start to any meal.

Though the space is modest, it is well kept and invites focus on the food and service. The restaurant’s house chili sauce and the garlic wings come highly recommended, often remembered as the defining reasons to return. Diners often emphasize that to fully appreciate the freshness and textures, meals are best enjoyed upon arrival rather than reheated.

I love the fish in the tanks near the booths. The lunch specials are 15-20 bucks with egg roll and soup. The hot and sour was great with chunks of chicken and lots of shrooms. The kitchen sounds were almost non existent and the booths were comfy.

Wonderful experience, the owner is so kind and hospitable. The food was very tasty, especially the Garlic Chicken Wings, I could eat that with just steamed rice. I loved their house chillie sauce.

Small Clean restaurant smells nice bathroom available to paying customers lots of fish tanks inside garlic wings a must. Combination Fried rice good to go. I don’t recommend the veggie egg rolls if your a meat eater you love cabbage go for it. Wonton soup and wontons are good. Try to eat same day reheating doesn’t taste the same. Rice was a different texture when reheating just as any chicken best when first served. I wish I would have gotten white rice with it to enjoy all the fresh ingredients and heaping garlic

I went there last week on 9/16/25. The woman behind the counter was beyond sweet and gave me a warm welcome. I ordered the house chow Mein and the fried shrimp and it was amazing! I couldn't wait to wake up the next day and eat the leftovers. The beef in the chow Mein was juicy and tender. I will be going back again tomorrow!
