You know all those foodie shows where the host winks at the camera and tells you to ask for the other menu? Well listen to them! ASK FOR THE OTHER MENU! It's covered in amazing, authentic, delicious Sichuan food. They even have real, honest to god, mouth numbing, tongue tingling hot hot hot pot. (But only on certain days so be aware.)
The tripe and tongue appetizer is to die for, but so is the General Tso's chicken and other Americanized Chinese dishes that your friends will be happy to eat. So you can be adventurous. 'Cause obviously, you're the adventurous one.
They've got party rooms in the back with massive round tables and huge Lazy Susans that make sharing and sampling (eating in the traditional way) really easy.
Prices are reasonable and the service is friendly, if occasionally a bit hard to communicate with.
