“ I love the sichuan spicy belly pork stomach. The sweet and sour pork is tasty. The duck is not bad. The restaurant is small, but the food is delicious. Just the portion is small. ”
“ Customer service alone was awesome! I got the popcorn chicken and the strawberry basil ginger lemonade wboba and it was pretty good ”
“ This place really deserves a better rating. Of the 20 Chinese places in the SGV Ive gone with my family, this is the one we have to go back to every time were in town. Their cooking is comforting and selfassured light but not bland, balanced expertly between salty, umami, and a hint of sweet. Their sea cucumber with baby shrimp and braised whole fish are incredible. Their mapo tofu is quite good considering its a Shanghainese place, a little lighter on the oil than youd expect but still has more than enough flavor. Three generations of my family leave every meal here satisfied. Looking forward to my next visit ”
