Got takeout from here. I got the dry pot pork intestines and salt & pepper fish. The food was delicious and the ingredients tasted fresh! The price and portion was also very reasonable. I hope to be back to try their other dishes. read more

We ordered a 1 person combo of the House Special Dry Mixed Hot Bowl with sliced beef, & a couple of other dishes. We'll be back for the Hot Bowl for sure - you get a very generous portion that can easily be split between 2 (or have leftovers for later. We love leftovers!). The Hot Bowl for one, a veggie dish or 2, mebbe another thing of rice, & you're golden. If you're ordering to go, as we did, be sure to place your order online at their website. Sure, there's a $1 "convenience fee", but there's also a 10% discount for online orders, valid till the end of February. You're welcome! read more

Really good! I enjoyed the Spicy soup base with Veggies. They have mild, and I believe it comes as a medium. The medium was a perfect spice level for me. Plenty to fill me up on a cold night~ much appreciated! I loved it, and would be happy to order it again. The only dish with soy sauce added is the dry cook. If they ever used Tamari instead of regular soy sauce I'd love to order it this style. The plum tea was amazing! I know I'm going to be craving it now~ Indoor seating~ Parking in strip mall parking lot. 25$ card minimum Can't wait to return! read more

Great food, very legit spicy mala food. The beef, duck blood, fish were all very tasty and well marinated. Popcorn chicken was pretty flavorful too. Would come back again. read more

I really like this place. I've ordered a few times on doordash and dined in once. The food is really yummy (I usually get the combo dry pot) and I feel like you get a good amount of food for the price. The waitress was super nice and welcoming as well. Writing a review so more people can support this place and so I can keep on coming back. I like this more than tasty pot and other comparable restaurants in the area. read more

Their Taiwanese dishes are very good. They have point saving system which gives a great deal.

Pretty close to what you can get at chengdu. Decent portion. Recommend dry spice mixed pot. read more

I'm not an expert on Sichuan food but I have found the food here to be very tasty and the service to be friendly. I will be coming back.

Spicy, savory, and very comforting food! We got the House Special dry pot with sliced beef. It was the 1 person combo but it was a HUGE portion..could literally feed like 3 people. The pot came with a variety of things like spam, potato, broccoli, lotus root, etc. Additionally, the combo comes with a rice and a drink..which includes the salted plum drink! The popcorn chicken was pretty standard--hot and tender. It was well seasoned and not overly breaded. The restaurant is a bit hidden..there's just a small banner on the outside. Inside is clean and cozy. There was only one other table inside so the service was pretty nice and quick. read more

Delicious authentic Szechuan food. Really great portion sizes too! The waiter was super quick and attentive, and love the overall vibe of the interior. read more

The fish fillet hot bowl was delicious. The signature bibimbap was also tasty with a nice variety of vegetables and signature stir fried meat. We went for a Saturday dinner. Surprisingly not crowded. The service is great. Very attentive. We also ordered a take home dish so the total bill topped $60 to receive a free mango shaved ice. That is a wonderful treat. 比美永康街的芒果冰！ read more

After hearing rave reviews from friends about this place, we came to check it out and it definitely didn't disappoint! The house special dry mix was BOMB! I ordered the combo which has all the meat but might just wanna order beef next time. Love that they even deep-fried all the veggies. This pot comes with plum juice but if you want to substitute it with boba, you'll have to pay extra but got $1 discount for waiving the plum drink, e.g. Pot is $25, boba is $5, you'll pay $29. I was hoping that cumin beef and eggplant in garlic sauce will be like those at Golden Garlic (already closed) but cumin beef was the dry version & eggplant is not deep fried enough. Still tasty regardless. Crispy pork and popcorn chicken are both very similar. Just order one or another. The boba drinks however are disappointing so just stick with the free plum juice. I love that everything came out super quick, except the cumin beef and you can get 10% discount for cash payment. read more

Very tasty MALA Tang! It's not too spicy but taste very good! I like the dry mixed pot. All the meats and vegetables covered with flavor. It's very satisfying! The size of the pot is very large too! All the side dishes I tried were good! Very worth trying!! read more

Fast, straightforward Szechuan food at a good price. We ordered preserved eggs, eggplant, and pork ribs, and received a complimentary 'wolf potato'. The potato was a new dish for me, and the pork ribs were my favorite. I plan to go back. read more

Great spot! Try their combo, it comes with a soup, rice and plum juice drink. If you order the 2 person combo, there's 2 rice 2 plum juice so each person has one. Their popcorn chicken is pretty tasty too with a good amount of herb and garnish flavor. read more

Great food and service. Must try their hot bowls - dry mixed style! It's the best. They have huge portions.

I'm surprised by the sloppy food and impatient service at this time of visit. For clarification, I have dined in at this place for at least 3 times before today and have recommended this place to my friends since they were good. BUT NOT ANY MORE! It only took a few bites for me to tell the food was not the same as before: 1. Different ingredients in the same beef pot came at different temperatures. The sliced beef was barely warm, while the meat balls were hot. Apparently, the ingredients were prepared at different times and the kitchen didn't bother to even keep them tie. In Chinese cuisine, there are dishes that ingredients can be prepared separately, but not the way Local Chengdu presented today. Very sloppy quality since the dish I ordered should have 锅气, which I didn't see at all. The waitress argued that the low temperature was due to the beef being stirred with seasonings before serving, which would cool down the beef a little. I CAN TELL the difference when fresh fried ingredients being mixed with seasonings, and how hot that would be. Come on, I cook a lot too. The attitude of "not caring" what customers' feedback really brought my attention. Do not treat your customers like 5 year old kids who haven't had authentic Chinese food before. 2. Missing ingredients. I ordered extra beef slices, and the beef pot came with a big bowl of supper fatty beef with a lot other ingredients MISSING... I don't know what to say here... thank you for providing extra beef with 70% fat. Waitress claimed the pot should have 12 ingredients, while I only saw 9: other than the big pile of beef that was hard to chew due to intensive fat, all other 8 types were bare minimal. If this is my first time visiting, I probably would be fine, but it was NOT. Quality and taste dropped like a land slide. For the readers who may be wondering: In a typical dry pot, all ingredients should work together to reach a balanced flavor. Fun part of having a hot pot or dry pot is the party of all things you can taste in one bowl. This was not what I ordered. Too tired to write more, but be very careful if you want to go. Busy lunch time on a Friday is not an excuse to serve such careless food to customers who used to like you. read more

The portion of food is big, a Happy Family is good for 2 people. We have been here many times, the spicy soup is our favorite. Staff is always very friendly and turnaround time is short. Despite you might get diarrhea the evening or next day which can be normal sometimes, everything is fine. read more

I like the ambience and service of this eatery. Food wise, the items I ordered was average and they have their own version which tasted different than authentic. I felt it was little pricey for the quality. read more

Been meaning to try this place after driving by a few times and so glad I did! My husband and I ordered the beef spicy soup and "happy family" pickled fish fillet soup hot bowls to share with our son - everything was delicious. We were impressed with the generous portions (especially in this day and age of skimpflation) and reasonable prices. The place is very clean and servers were very friendly and helpful. However the restaurant is easy to miss in the evening as the sign is unlit and appears makeshift (until their official sign arrives?). Can't wait to try more of the menu soon - highly recommend! read more

3.5 would be the right score. As with other northern Chinese restaurants, there is an almost overwhelming usage of cumin and fried chilies, such that most of the dishes start to taste the same. Positives: Lots of food for the price. Dry spice beef dish was good and very filling. Lots of veggies come with the pots. Fried tofu was excellent. Service was friendly. Apparently authentic - saw multiple young Chinese patrons eating alone. Negatives: Spice mix prevalent in most dishes. Mushroom broth tasted like dish water. Fish filets were catfish which tasted like mud. I wouldn't be opposed to coming back, but only if I was in the area and hadn't had northern Chinese for a while. read more

So we got this ONE Chinese restaurant at Westgate other than Panda Express, yay diversity. As a fully westernized immigrant who generally doesn't enjoy the food of my peoples unless its Sichuan, I enjoy this place often. The spicy dry pots are great, the cumin beef/lamb is great, I'm not really a fan of tofu but I enjoy the coated tofu. My favorite is the wolf-tooth potatoes, they're basically crinkle-cut fries tossed in a spicy mala sauce. So simple but delicious, I don't think I've seen it served anywhere else, highly recommended! read more

Great food. Relatively low price. I am from Chengdu and this has very authentic Chengdu street food for ordinary people. I love it and have been there three times in the past 30 days. read more

I normally don't give any negative reviews. But we will never come back after driving by/giving it a try. We ordered lunch special of their 'specialty' soup. Food was blend just so so. The waitress did tell us that the lunch special came with a drink and rice so we did get that. When I get the bill - she charged me the full dinner $. When I pointed out, she wouldn't correct it and just dating 'sorry.' I don't mind a few $, but with this type of practice and food quality/taste - I will never return read more

Randomly found this spot the other day and I'm so surprised that they don't have more reviews on Yelp! Both the service and food was amazing! I was genuinely surprised by the quality of food and big portions they were offering. The staff was extremely friendly and offered a free dish (quail eggs) on the house. Highly recommend trying this place if you haven't tried dry pot and want to try something new! read more

Great place and delicious food. Whenever I don't know what to eat for dinner, I come here.

The dry pot is delicious here! The portions are generous and there is go much meat in it compared to other restaurants in the area. I've only ordered take out from here so I can only review the food. Definitely worth a try! read more

DON'T EAT AT THIS STORE!!!!! FAKE ADVERTISEMENT! INCORRECT INGREDIENT DESCRIPTION AND ACTUAL FOOD! ordered a personal pot and added vegetables at fantuan delivery, they only gave me vegetables and nothing on else listed on the food ingredient(they suppose to have spam, befalls, crab meat etc..). When I contact them they insisted if you choose vegetables you will only received vegetables! If you choose slice beef, seafood, and fish then they are with the ingredients in the regular pot! The online order descriptions are vague and hard to understand! If you have a pot for vegetarians PLEASE INCLUDE THAT!!!! Worse experience EVER, BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. BAD FOOD QUALITY, NO RESPONSIBILITY! SPEND $20 and get nothing but vegetable leafs! read more

I've been here off and on since their soft opening. I have greatly enjoyed the spicy dishes here, including the Cumin flavored beef, coated tofu, and special dry mixed bowl. The service is great, and it is a super comfy environment. Overall, a place not to miss! read more

Great spot for Sichuan food! Service was good, food came fast, and everything was delicious. I recommend the green beans and wolf cut potatoes. read more

My new go to hot pot place after Hot Pot First on Lawrence closed. The quality of the meat isn't as good as Haidilao or Mumu but it hits the spot when I'm craving hot pot and at a much more reasonable price point. The broth is flavorful and filled with lots of variety of fillings such as spam, lotus root, napa cabbage, kelp/seaweed, potato, tofu, fish ball, quail egg, etc. The portion is copious and I always leave with leftovers. The free plum juice is nice accompaniment to temper the heat/spiciness of the hot pot. read more

Cutest little place with DELICIOUS food. Never disappoints and the portion size is amazing for the price. I highly recommend. New local fav for any night out. read more

Nice service, but the food is just average, and extremely spicy. I know Chengdu food is supposed to be spicy, but it should also be flavorful as well. This place is over reaching on the spicy side and underachieving on the flavorful side. read more

This place is really good. I get the spicy dry pot with sliced beef for one person all the time, it's a nice big portion, shareable if you don't eat too much. The food is flavorful and the added ingredients are so yummy (quail egg, lotus root, tofu skin, spam, clear noodles, seaweed, potato, etc.) The waitress is also very sweet, if you need to ask for accommodations to your food/meal, she's super helpful. I am already a returning customer :) read more

This is a sichuan hot pot place, so good if you like spicy. For those in your party that can't handle the spice, they have a non-spicy mushroom soup base, egg fried rice, beef brisket noodle soup (niu rou mein), and can make certain side dishes, like the fried tofu (and maybe popcorn chicken) with the spice on the side. And of course, the different cold drinks. read more
