Even the cook brought out a fan to cool his table as staff had their lunch. At least he was cooled done a bit while sweated like steer. Well , was committed ; so too late to convert to a take out meal in my Lamborghini or someone's else's. I ordered the ribs on spinach, pork egg rice, spinach and egg dumplings pan fried . The ribs were tender, actually very good in a flavorful sauce. The spinach in the sauce excellent ... I needed a lot more spinach. The egg pork rice was freshly prepared and was very good . The spinach egg dumplings were a first time for me type experience and these were excellent... pan seared perfect fresh tasting... these would be good for breakfast with a breakfast maple sauce on a waffle and bowl of fruit...or a spinach smoothie. My ice water melted from the heat . My dumplings would have steamed themselves in the heat. This visit was much improved since a prior visit months back. Ribs were beyond my expectations. Service was fast. I wanted soup and a side app included in the lunch special. I have been to their Cambridge location and that is excellent .

There are some standout dishes that I return to on a regular basis. The braised beef with Napa cabbage, the Chengdu style Kung Pao Chicken, and the dry cooked spicy chicken, are three examples of delicious, flavorful, and nicely spiced entrées. During our last visit, one of the owners, who goes by Benjamin, chatted with us and gave us two small dishes to try on the house. One was a small bowl of Sichuan pickled vegetables for us to nibble on, and the other was a Sichuan spicy beef jerky, and both were absolutely delicious. Ben was a delight to chat with as well. The restaurant itself is large, spacious, and quiet. It's a pleasant place to spend some time, have a good conversation, and enjoy some delicious food!

We got the minced pork with rice (not what we expected as it was more like chopped up pork belly), Kung pao chicken (was not what we expected, they had zucchini in it, no celery and wasn't spicy), still tasted good but just not what we expected Kung pao chicken to be. The pan fried dumplings were pretty good. We also got their pumpkin pastry off their dim sum menu (weekend only).

I really really wanted to like this place…read more I remember Alvin, one of the former managers who was great who is not there anymore it seems. I ordered 2 lunch specials and they were both pretty bad. One was the spicy beef which was too spicy and had not enough sauce to balance it; and sadly the take home lunch special had clearly rotten shrimp and I had to discard it; something that I have never done, ever. Yuck. I should have called to ask for a refund. They need to step it up. Also, the waitress looked shocked I was there to sit down and eat. The one redeeming thing was the waitress was very nice and had a good attitude. We had a pleasant conversation.

But great for takeout or a meal with a party no greater than 4. The Chongqing noodles with beef were bomb. The perfect level of spice and flavorful broth, accompanied by some slices of beef and Shanghai bok choy. It's so simple, yet so good. The beef chow foon was decent but it's hard for non-Cantonese restaurants to make it well. Although the noodles were great. The beef and broccoli had a slight schezuan spice to it which was a little off putting.

I could not stomach any of their food. 4 crab Rangoon with little to no filling, 2 extremely fatty poor quality chicken teriyaki sticks and 1 egg roll for $17 on a bed of rice that tasted so old. I remember their Mala spicy pot being decent (however not as good as the spots I visit in Cambridge and Allston-Brighton) but gets the job done, there were many shrimp heads but where's the rest of the shrimp? Super expensive for small portions, old beef slices and old shrimp, had a bad smell so I tossed $50 worth of food. I woke up extremely sick this morning from the food, never again.

This is the closest I've had to modern Chinese cuisine in Boston so far. Swing Pork Belly 晾衣白肉: My first time trying Lizhuang pork belly, I'd heard so much about it! The pork belly was sliced ​​very thinly, chilled to perfection, and served with refreshing cucumber slices--not greasy at all. The minced fresh garlic was a bit too spicy for me, but the chili oil was very fragrant, making it very flavorful overall. Yibin Style Ran Noodles 宜賓燃麵: Another first time trying this, how could noodles be so delicious... The alkaline noodles were thin and firm, with a great texture; the flavor was oily, savory, and slightly spicy, with a delightful sweet aftertaste--fragrant but not greasy. The cucumber shreds added to the overall refreshing taste. Green Pepper Mao Xue Wang 青一色毛血旺: My first time trying Maoxuewang with green peppers, and it was surprisingly fresh and clean, with a medicinal aroma. The spiciness was only mild, and it wasn't oily at all. The ingredients were good: the pig's blood and konjac were smooth and chewy, the pork aorta was crisp and springy, the celtuce were crisp, and the eel shreds were chewy and crunchy--a very rich selection. Spicy Frog Lover 舌尖上的蛙跳: Relatively average. It had the classic Sichuan boiling flavor, but the broth was almost like it had been thickened with cornstarch; the frog meat was a bit firm, not tender; and the pickled vegetables were too acidic.

Everything came out flavorful, spicy, and packed with that numbing Sichuan peppercorn kick. The spicy chicken was probably my favorite crispy, well seasoned, and loaded with dried chilies. The boiled beef had a rich, spicy broth and was great with rice. The beef and tripe appetizer was also really good and had a nice balance of chili oil, sesame, peanuts, and that signature mala flavor. Portions were generous and the food definitely delivered if you're looking for authentic, bold Sichuan flavors. Overall, a very good meal and somewhere I'd come back to.

Simple, straightforward, no BS kinda casual spot…read morewith decently priced lunch specials and an acceptable culinary repertoire to back it all up. In fact, ever since the other Chinese spot changed ownership, I entirely switched to eating here whenever I want a quick sit down Chinese meal. The food is good. It comes out pretty fast. It's done pretty well. And the best part, it just doesn't remotely hurt the wallet. Even being a regular, I'm still amused at how the service is so stereotypical Chinese in the way that I'm just another soul coming in to be fed and not remembered or acknowledged. Mind you, I'm here a LOT and am usually the only one sitting there eating while delivery people repeatedly come and go. Anyways, two reasons why I'm unable to give them 5 stars. First, the tap water they serve...tastes like @#$%. I don't know what it is but I've actually started bringing my own water bottle (or just ordered a soda). Two, the steamed rice is inconsistent. Half the time, it's perfect. The other half...is wet and mushy (I want to say a reheat but isn't that just such a faux pax in Chinese cuisine?). Nonetheless, this is one of the few four and less starred places on my list that I will still continue to frequent and recommend to anyone in the area wanting a quick and decent meal for cheap!

My family loves rice cake noodle but I don't because the noodle is often gummy-chewy but this one was just right and they don't use snow cabbage like most places. The eggplant had lots of wood mushrooms so that's a huge plus since we love that veg. Definitely needed the 2 bowls of white rice for the sauce from the eggplant & tofu dishes. The staff are nice. The woman server spoke Mandarin and the kitchen staff also speak Cantonese.
