| - Absolutely delicious.... but really greasy.
I've come to this restaurant quite a few times with different friends. Some of my friends are actually from the Sichuan province, so that tells me that (1) the food is at least to native standards and (2) when they order, I am most likely getting common dishes that would be either cooked or ordered at home.
The tripe appetizer seems to be a common order among all of my groups of friends. Served cold, it tastes really good. Forget what part of the animal it comes from and you'll love this dish. The spicy fish is also a popular dish here, ordered almost every time I go to the restaurant. I like the spicy fish here the best out of all of the spicy fish dishes in Cleveland. The fish tastes good and there is a decent amount of spice and flavor. Some restaurants overdo the spice so it is too hot to eat, and other restaurants do not make the broth very well - but here, both the spice and the broth are done well.
There are also large "pots" which serve an assortment of stir fried vegetables and various meats and of course, lots of chili peppers. These are best shared - way too big for one person. I recently tried the chicken with mushroom dish, which was also really good. A sweet dish, not very spicy.
The only reason that I don't come here very often is that the food is very greasy. Even the vegetables seem more greasy than in other Asian restaurants. I'm not sure if this is how the food is supposed to be prepared, so I'm not complaining. But in small or medium portions, the food is definitely worth a try.
