| - I've been to this restaurant more than 5 times, and have never been disappointed. Been to both the downstairs Sichuan restaurant and the upstairs hotpot and loved both.
The downstairs dishes had a strong taste (except the Yuxiang eggplants which was pretty bland to my surprise) which fits my likings. I especially like the big plate chicken, the pork intestines, and the braised pork+potatoes+quail eggs combo, very flavourful. The spiciness is just right, not as spicy as most Sichuan dishes elsewhere.
The upstairs hotpot is like no hotpot I've had before. First, you have to choose your base between more than 6 choices including duck heads, shrimps and chips, frog legs, pork bone, rice, etc. Then, they serve you the base and instructs you to eat the content (ie the duck heads, shrimps, etc) before putting more water and starting the actual hotpot. All the bases ingredients were super tasty. My favorites are the duck heads and the shrimps & chips.
The aspect that I love the most about this place though is its service. All the servers that I have encountered are super nice and chill, made me feel at home. The only reason why I would give it more of a 4.7 is the prices. The hotpot price includes a basic price and 4$ for the base soup, which can add up at dinner time. The downstairs restaurant can be expensive for two people, but very affordable if a lot of people share. They have a big table which accommodates 8-10 people, so its good for big groups. Overall very underrated and would highly recommend.
