Hesitating between 4 and 5 stars. Definitely a wider spectrum of choices compared to all other Chinese restaurants in this city. Price is the reason that prevents me from visiting every single weekend. With a larger group of people this place would definitely be a top choice as their portion is good. But 1-2 people? Maybe I'll try the other two places in squirrel hill as they have appetizers and dishes that are less generically Chinese.
Sichuan style, which means spicy food here is decent in general. They do have some choices that are not available everywhere else, like frogs, special types of vegetables. And if you do not have a high spice tolerance, no need to worry here. They adjusted their dishes well enough to satisfy both Chinese and American customers. (A second reason this is not my personal favorite) Milder dishes are also available. Spicy fish dishes are normally fresher compared to other places and I strongly recommend them. Pork dishes are also very nice.
Can be crowded and loud on weekends. But they do accept seat reservation (as far as I can remember). And they have two private rooms for larger groups. These rooms can be combined and is large enough for a group of around 25. Might need a while for food to be ready (same for most Chinese food), so if you are going starved either get appetizers or more dishes. One dish per person is usually enough.
Try it and I hope you will love it as I did!
