A unique noodle dish with a cute origin story!…read more The story begins with a wife wanting to nourish her husband while he studied for the Imperial Exams on a little island. She made a rich golden chicken noodle soup and sealed in the flavor, heat, and aroma with a layer of chicken oil; and packed the other ingredients separately so that her husband could have a fresh meal as he studied. This dish and style of preparation/presentation eventually became known as Crossing-the-Bridge noodles and is categorized as an intangible cultural heritage for the region. Similar to hot pot, you're supposed to cook the individual ingredients in the hot broth when it all comes out; however, the pot isn't constantly cooking and it should all go in when it arrives at the table. The original broth is really flavorful, while remaining delicate and hearty, and all the various components go well together. The only thing is that the broth does cool down relatively quickly once you start putting in all the other ingredients, so some things weren't as hot as I would've liked. But, overall, I enjoyed my experience! Service was wonderful and there's always parking in this plaza.

The spring rolls came with a sweet peanut sauce but I would say not much meat in the rolls as I really could only taste the mint. The pho broth was sweet and pretty flavorful. Unfortunately they messed up my order I ordered a small but was given the regular. Would have still preferred small cause the noodles were pretty filling. The noodles were thick and pretty good! I got meatballs and tripe in my order but it was definitely lacking some tripe. The service was also okay, we were never checked up on or given refills on water. Overall, I enjoy the noodle texture but definitely a miss this time round.

The interior of the restaurant is very nice and ambient. Clean and large space…read more The food was alright! My friends and I shared 4 dishes amongst the 5 of us and it was just enough food. I don't think I'd return as nothing really stood from the dishes we ordered. It's decent sichuan food but nothing amazing, plus it's kind of pricey especially given the portion size. A good number of the dishes ranged from $25-30 which I think is steep compared to some other local restaurants. Here's what we ordered: 1) Beef in Golden Soup 5/5 - perfectly spicy and beef belly was good 2) Salted Egg Yolk Shrimp 4/5 - plump shrimp cooked well but slightly too greasy 3) Cumin lamb 3/5 - meat cooked to a char so you lose the lamb flavor. 4) Eggplant & green beans 3/5 - too salty 5) Pork and crab xiao long bao 1/5 - skip this dish! $16 for 6 baos; not worth it. The skin is so thick and you only taste pork. Better off eating the frozen ones from Costco.

My fiancée found Lao Szechuan on Groupon, and the deal was too good to pass up -- $60 worth of food…read morefor $15. Just a heads-up: there's an automatic 18% gratuity, and if you're not paying close attention to the payment screen, you might accidentally tip on top of the gratuity. So double-check. Walking in, the layout is a little confusing -- open space and no clear signage on where to go. The hostess, who didn't speak much English, quickly asked if we wanted hot pot, Korean BBQ, or Chinese. We chose Chinese, but the interaction felt slightly awkward like she had to process what she just asked us. Pro tip: If you're here for Chinese, head to the right when you walk in. We weren't there during a busy time and ended up in a "VIP" booth, though I'm not sure what made it VIP... but I digress. Ordering was easy thanks to our server, but you'd think with robots delivering the food, the ordering system would be more seamless. Still, the food came out quickly. Here's what we tried: Scallion pancakes ($7.95): Good flavor, could've been cooked a little longer. Still enjoyed them. Braised combo ($15.95): Not for the faint of heart. Surprise ingredients included pig's ear, tripe, and (I think) intestines. Would've appreciated a menu description. Needed extra sauce to make it work, and most of it came home with me. Chef's special duck soup ($4.95): Just broth with a couple raisins. No meat. Kinda disappointed. Should've gone with the wonton soup ($2.95) like my fiancée -- easily the best I've ever had. Singapore chow mei fun ($15.95): Loaded with noodles and chicken (we compromised on chicken). Massive portion, really flavorful. White rice ($2): Standard. Xiao long bao: No photo because I dropped the first round -- soup dumpling explosion. They kindly remade it, but the second batch seemed rushed. Still good to me, but my fiancée wasn't impressed. The atmosphere was nice, the food overall was solid, and despite some bumps, I left full and happy. Not sure I'd call it award-winning service, but I'll definitely be back -- especially with another Groupon.

I ended up order the sweet and sour chicken with white rice and veggie egg roll. My husband ordered the garlic eggplant with fried rice and hot/sour soup. Plus, we shared veggie fried noodles for long life because we stopped here for my birthday. Service was wonderful and we got our food fairly quick. They were really good at refilling our water and clearing the table free of trash. I really enjoyed the noodles as it had tons of veggies, but an overwhelming amount of bean sprouts. The sweet and sour chicken delivered as it was both sweet and sour and I had plenty of leftovers. I found the veggie spring roll quite oily though, but it did its job.

I found a park as soon as I entered the center and I was seated immediately when I walked in. I had the Sichuan and Nutrional bases. I preferred the Sichuan because it had a nice kick. The Nutrional base was okay and not bad. At first I wanted to get the Classic Spicy but was told it was spicier than the Sichuan and I didn't feel up for being on fire at the time. So I plan to try on my next visit. I tried the sliced beef, sliced lamb, fish fillets and shrimp with vermicilli noodles and a side of rice, along with bok choy, seaweed, enoki mushrooms and cilantro. I also went to the salad bar and got some of the tiny spicy peppers which added a little more spice to the base. It was all really good and fresh. The price was very reasonable and the overall service was great. I wish they were closer to me but I'll be back soon.

Shrimp fried rice, dumplings, pork buns, different types of noodles, plenty of different pork and chicken dishes to suit your pallet. And if you love shrimp, there are lots of shrimp options too. I saw on another customer's plate a dish that I had to try and I'm so glad I did. It was the salted crispy chicken from Nanbei Gourmet (B11 on the menu). It's really delicious and perfectly seasoned and plenty to share. I think the young man at the counter was having a bad day or a bit overworked because he wasn't very pleasant but I do appreciate him telling me sorry for the long wait, because it took a while to get my chicken, but it was just a busy time around lunch. It was worth the weight though. Next time I want to try those meatballs they really looked delicious and someone I was with ordered them and they had my mouth watering. And also, I got the barbecue pork on rice and the Singapore rice noodles from Hong Kong BBQ. The noodles have three different meats in it and I believe curry seasoning. The flavors are delicious. The barbecue pork over rice was pretty simple and plain, but I do appreciate that it comes with some steamed bok choy because it's nice to have a good balance of some vegetables in there with all the starch and pork. There's plenty of seating so if you go with a family or a larger group, you should be good to go and there's a place to seating outside. I had no problem finding a parking spot at 1 o'clock in the afternoon on a Saturday. I do wish they had more shops to shop at, but the couple that they do have the store owners are really nice.

Instead of the juicy, sweet, and meaty sausage that is typically served with slices of garlic, we got lap cheong or Cantonese style sausage which is salty, dry aged, and firm.

I'm not sure if they have this on their menu and made a mistake with my order, but if they are putting Taiwanese sausage on their menu and serving this, it's a false advertisement.
