Being as it was Valentine's day, we made sure to make reservations especially being a party of 9. We got seated right on time in one of their large private rooms with a lazy-susan in the center for added convenience. Service is a little harder with our smaller vantage point but we were still able to get everything we needed with a little added effort.
As tradition, we shared everything family-style and our taste buds were more than satisfied by the end. Dry fried string beans (contains pork) were cooked well with the yummy small bits of ground pork. The Chongqing spicy popcorn chicken (contains nuts) was salty and plentiful. The Boiled fish w/ chinese green pepper soup caught us the most off guard because of how mouth numbing it is, without being necessarily that spicy (although maybe our tongue was too numb to tell anymore). There are a lot of small bones in the soup so be careful of choking. Deep fried handmade tofu w/ special sauce weren't super crunchy once at the table but it was very silky and smooth in their simple brown sauce. Not being a huge Kung pao chicken (contains nuts) fan, I thoroughly enjoyed the slight sweetness it offered compared to the other dishes on the table. The Handmade green bean jelly in chili sauce were by far my favorite dish given it's salty, sweet, and spicy combination on a uniquely textured noodle. The Dry spicy and garlic shrimp (head on) (contains nuts) were good on their own but especially over the a bed of rice. The Eggplants w/ garlic sauce was very flavorful and soft.
Overall, we had a great experience. Service was efficient with all the food coming out seemingly immediately. Bathrooms were pretty clean and parking is pretty easy (if not totally swamped). Would come again if in a spicy, mouth-numbing mood as the name indicates! read more
