| - OVERALL: decent Chinese food with slightly expensive prices. I would be okay with coming here again - however, there are better options elsewhere in Pittsburgh for Sichuan food.
I lived in Sichuan for the first few years of my life, and love spicy food. I was delighted to find another Sichuan restaurant in Pittsburgh, so I went here with a group of friends to check it out. We ordered a bunch of traditional Chinese dishes, such as Chongqing spicy chicken, Mao's pork belly, dandan noodles, shredded pork with beancurd, watercress, and shui zhu niu (???).
The taste of the food was a solid 3.5/5. It's authentic for the most part, albeit a tad too sweet for me. I would give it a 4 because I liked the experience, but unfortunately I had to dock a point, because for every single dish I ordered, I could name a different restaurant in Pittsburgh that cooks it better. Not to say that the food was bad - I definitely enjoyed it - but there are better options out there. The dishes I enjoyed the most were the shui zhu niu and chongqing spicy chicken. However, the dandan noodles were cooked in a very strange way, and the watercress was not fresh. I would stay away from those dishes in the future.
