| - This is the type of restaurant that offers decent food (though not amazing by any means) for big portions and is relatively inexpensive. As typical of Sichuan cuisine, it is on the oily/greasy side and although not all dishes are spicy, if it is listed as spicy, it is not the mild kind - so come with the right expectations.
Tried:
Sesame beef rolls - Flavour and texture was kinda bland, so was disappointed
Shanghainese fried noodles - Okay, but nothing to rave home about
Spicy eggplant with garlic - This can be a tad spicy for people who are not used to 'spicy', but was my favourite dish as it was quite flavorful
Curry Noodles (Ho Fan) - This was the highlight for everyone; portions were good given the price and the spice was spot on.
It docks 2 major stars due to nearly nonexistent service - it is hard to flag down a wait staff and the food comes EXTREMELY slow - like snail pace slow. We waited between 1-1.5 hours from the time we ordered (which is done on an iPad so I mean, it's not like the order was left hanging) to the food actually coming, 3 hours total spent for lunch. Do NOT go hungry or pressed for time. The place is fairly busy and packed, but it still takes forever for the staff to do much of anything. There were many tables not cleaned up despite patrons leaving way earlier!
Not a bad place for some solid Sichuan food, but go at your own discretion, depending on your tolerance for time, meh service, and spiciness.
