| - Ok Chinese food, more specifically from the Mandarin side where they serve everything Szechuan style. Everything tasted fine, but again, every single flavor was dominated by that Szechuan spice. We ordered a lot of food for 4 people! We got the hanging pork belly, the mapo tofu, spicy soft shelled crab, the fish, stir fried green beans, and some kind of potato dish that looks like hash browns.
The mapo tofu was the best dish, but still kinda spicy in my opinion. The fish was very odd. Very hard to eat then eat off the dish and the presentation was kinda crazy! Good flavor but still, kinda spicy. The sauce for it was all oil too, and I'm kind of not used to having a community rice bowl for everyone to grab rice from. We each only had only small bowl of rice and I had to ask for a refill like 4 times because of this. I don't know if they charged for each refill. The spicy crab had good flavor too, but very difficult to eat the crab. The potato dish was too snippy, meaning they didn't cook it enough, maybe it's the style but I thought that was odd too. The green beans were good, but then again, it's good at most Asian restaurants I've been too.
All in all, I was excited about this place and was kinda let down because I guess I was expecting something different. The atmosphere was odd too because we were the only ones there, so it felt dead. The lights are very dim too, and they don't use AC, they use a swamp cooler, which makes this large firecracker noise every 10 minutes. Kind of annoying.
