| - Seriously? This place is awful. The food is barely edible, and I don't really consider myself that picky. We ordered several dishes - fried pork kidney, cheng du dry hot chicken, ma po tofu - all of which are standard sichuan dishes.
All the dishes were spicy, but had absolutely no flavour! The cheng du dry hot chickent had little fried pieces of overly sweet chicken and overly fat skin bits which we had to dig out from the mountain of hot chile peppers (where's the chicken, I found myself asking while digging around). The kidneys were bland and tasteless. Ma po tofu, which is so standard, it is the mark of a restaurant was horrible with a thick cornstarch sauce and no pork to speak of. Sadly, the ma po tofu was probably the best dish of the bunch.
On top of all that, we ordered take out, and they jammed all the food into one bag when clearly it needed two. As a result, when we opened the food at home (after a mere 5 minute walk), the ma po tofu had leaked all over the bag. How much does an extra plastic bag cost? 5 cents? Tops? Don't understand why they couldn't spare an extra plastic bag to prevent spillage. To me, this just speaks of a lack of respect to the customers.
There are so many Sichuan places in chinatown, I definitely will not be returning. Sichuan house, just a couple of doors down is way better and makes one of the best ma po tofu dishes I have had in a long time.
