This was our first visit to Szechuan Opera, and it certainly won't be our last! Everything was outstanding. The food is top notched, as well as the service. Don't be afraid of the language barrier because there weren't any! Friendly and very accommodating staff. We were even given a private room, which was a nice surprise! There were 10 of us, sharing the below menu: ~ Crispy Cucumber Salad ($15): good but pretty standard. ~ Stir Fried Bacon w.Tea Tree Mushrooms ($22): Excellent! This was a nice surprise and my fave dish of the night. Nice smoky flavor! ~ Mapo Tofu ($15): Very Good,I asked for Extra Spicy, and they delivered! ~ Cumin Lamb ($25): Very good but I wished the lamb were in bigger pieces. ~ Chongqing Spicy Chicken ($20): Good; typical Szechuan dish done well. ~ Dry Pot w.Asian Mushrooms ($22): Good but the tea tree mushroom dish was better. ~ Golden Sour Sliced Beef Soup ($32/large): Very good; great flavors. ~ Eel w.Fermented Rice Sauce ($20): this would have been an excellent dish if not for the many bones. The eel itself was prepared well but the bones ruined it for many in my party. ~ Spicy Stir-Fried Pork Kidney ($20): Excellent; nice flavors, prepared perfectly me ~ Rice $2/Bowl ~ Complimentary Dessert (Black Sesame Mochi Ball Soup): This was so unique and such a treat. Thank you! Like I mentioned before, this is our first visit, and we will be back to try other dishes. This was a quality meal, enjoyed by all. Recommended! read more
