    The food was delicious and served hot. They have a very nice menu with selections such as Duck, Fish, Shrimp, Chicken and so much more. I love that they have deals and specials each day of the week. Plus they have amazing teas, the Jasmine Green Tea is my favorite.

    Green beans
    Jed W.

    Had a good meal for our second visit but the service left something to be desired. Our waitress was very nice but the restaurant was almost empty and she hardly checked on us at all. We sat there for 15 minutes after we were finished and I finally had to get up and ask the hostess if she could ask our waitress for to go containers. As for the food it was quite good. The dumplings in spicy chili oil were very good. The shrimp fried rice was fine, nothing too special. The general tsaos chicken was good. The dry fried green beans were very good and the lemon shrimp was decent.

    Fish Fillets with Sichuan Peppercorns
    Alan L.

    Great tasting Szechuan food! We liked the Spicy chicken the most, as the pieces were crunchy on the outside and very juicy on the inside. The fish fillets with Sichuan peppercorns were also a highlight of the meal. Definitely get some rice! Though it is marketed as Szechuan cuisine, we felt that there was a decent amount of western influence as well. The spice levels for one were not as high as we imagined. But overall was a great meal! I really hope this stays around for a while - previous restaurants in this location haven't lasted more than 2 years each, so I hope this is able to stick around longer than that!

    Chongqing spicy chicken

    This chicken is killer! I got it medium spicy and it has the perfect kick, a tasty crunch, and everything in between. The rice noodles were also so chewy and perfect. The guy working the counter was super nice and the only reason it's a 4 star is because I asked for no onions in my to-go order but there were lots of onions.

    Woke up from anesthesia craving the duck bone broth soup here. Its flavor is plain, but nurturing. Its exactly what I needed after getting my wisdom teeth pulled. My typical order is the braised pork belly, which is served with quail eggs! A happy little surprise. The portions here are meant to be shared, emphasized by the family portions listed across the menu. Sometimes I stop by just to get the Szechuan green beans so I have a little snack to nibble on as I walk around town. I've only eaten inside once, but the high ceiling and simple décor makes it easy on the eyes. On such a busy campus it is truly a place of refuge, where one can truly enjoy their meal in peace. This will be an excellent spot to have a dinner party once the private dinning room is completed.

    I ordered some food from this restaurant through DoorDash to be delivered to the hotel. I got their Chong Qing spicy chicken, dan dan noodles and steamed rice. The food came so well packed in an insulated bag and tasted so fresh, warm and delicious. I highly recommend this place.

    Vegetarian spring rolls
    Jayna H.

    I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was! Dined here for lunch on a weekday-Service was fast and efficient, the food came out piping hot, and everything was delicious. The space is quite large, clean, and very nicely decorated with plenty of seating. We ordered the pork soup dumplings and the spring rolls to start. Both were good but one of the soup dumplings had been ripped prior to arriving at our table and the soup leaked out onto the plate. The dumpling was still good but we didn't get to slurp the soup out which is the best part! Spring rolls were pretty standard but good. The crispy sesame beef was perfectly fried and had a great texture combined with the glossy, sweet, savory sauce. Yum! Definitely will be back to try more of their dim sum menu!

    Salt and pepper fish fillets
    Jannet C.

    This place serves delicious, elevated authentic Chinese food. We went there for lunch, and got soup dumplings, fried dumplings, , bbq pork buns. salt and pepper fish fillets, beef chow fun, braised pork belly and Peking duck. Everything was beautifully presented; especially the braised pork belly served in a bubbling red pot and Peking duck, has the fat trimmed off the skin serves with pancakes and accompaniments. The service is exceptionally attentive. The dining room is modern and clean. This is a wonderful place to go for elevated Chinese food.

    Braised pork belly
    April S.

    Great space! Very upscale and yet not too much. We stopped by for some dim sum and were not disappointed. We ordered braised pork belly, dry stirfry beef rice noodle, frided fish, pork bao, soup dumplings, half of a duck and puer tea. Everything was very flavorful and delicious. The staff were very awesome and helpful. Will definitely come back at some point!

    brown sugar mochi
    Julie W.

    Got the lunch dimsum which we didn't know they had. This runs til 5 pm. Ordered two orders of pork soup dumplings (6), one order pan fried pork dumplings (6), salmon firecracker, ha gao shrimp dumpling (3), 1 scallion pancake, brown sugar mochi, and the charcoal yolk buns (2) for $80 ($40 pp). It was pretty ok, 3.5 stars for dimsum, to be honest not the best and kind of pricy, +1 star for being less than a block away from my dorm and new restaurant on St. paul's. Recommend the salmon firecracker thought, that was ok price for the amount you get.

    I've had the shrimp dumplings but the veggie dumplings are some of the best. A little pricey but a nice treat once in a while. They come with a sauce made in-house that is spicy and delicious. I feel the veggie lo mein was good. There are other vegetable dishes but you have to order rice. All in all it is kind of expensive so it's better to go in a group so you can share. Service was okay.

We stopped by with my husband before the BTS concert, and considering how busy they were, the customer service was fantastic! We didn't have to wait long to be seated, and our food came out surprisingly fast. The anime-themed decor was such a cool touch and made the whole experience even more fun. Definitely a great spot for ramen, especially if you're looking for good food, generous portions, and great service!

The restaurant is nicely decorated, and the service was impeccable. I had multiple servers come and check up on me and I felt like if I ever needed anything they were able to take care of it. Also, one of the servers mentioned the restaurant is peanut free in case anyone has any allergies. The poke was really delicious. I felt that the salmon was very fresh and I thought they gave very large chunks of salmon compared to other restaurants that really do skip out on the salmon portion, but this restaurant did not! The poke had cucumbers, mangoes, avocado, and scallions as well and I felt that the mango with a nice touch to add some sweetness, and it was also very fresh. The addition of the cucumber gave a nice crunchy texture that helped the dish overall. As for the sauce, I got the original non-spicy poker sauce. I didn't use too much of it because a little bit goes a long way. I recommend anyone to come and try out the poker here and I haven't tried their Ramen yet, but I do look forward to it soon.

    Wicked Sisters was the perfect post-hike recovery stop in Hampden! We arrived around 1:15 p.m…read more without a reservation and were greeted right away by the hostess. We requested outdoor seating, request granted. The upstairs patio is spacious and comfortable; fans helping to cool the summer afternoon. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made the experience feel easy and relaxed. We ordered the Salmon BLT and the deviled eggs topped with lump crabmeat, along with (1) coffee, (2) mimosas and (1) white sangria- which was my favorite. Everything was delicious, and the patio was a great place to unwind after our hike. The music --a high-energy playlist from the night before (i assumed) still on an active loop. An interesting lunch sound treatment that didn't take away from a really enjoyable meal. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, and friendly service. I'll definitely be back!

    Came here to do some remote work and wasn't super impressed with my experience…read more We started out on the patio but quickly moved inside due to the heat. Although we were there on a Monday at lunchtime, the dining area quickly became busy and loud. We ordered some crab dip, which they were able to provide some gluten-free bread for. I really liked the crab dip! It was creamy and flavorful. After placing some salad orders, the food came out, but we were not brought utensils to eat. The meat was not cooked how we asked for it to be, and one of the plates had to be sent back to be cooked more. After around 20 minutes, we were finally given forks to start eating. I ordered the Ahi Tuna Salad and despite my fish being a bit underdone, it was pretty good. I wish there was more dressing on the salad though because it was a bit bland and dry. It also seemed like our waiter was super stressed as he was genuinely running through the restaurant at times.
