My partner and I love this spot (it’s probably our most visited restaurant in Portland.) They have an extensive vegan menu and we particularly love the tofu skins and cloud mushrooms. The staff here is so nice and the atmosphere is great. We will continue to come back again and again.

Absolutely phenomenal. Flavors I have been missing, and new flavors all in one experience. The daikon salad was mind blowing. Zhong dumplings incredible. Mapo Tofu will be a new go to for cold rainy days ??

I ordered double cooked pork and stir-fried squid in sichuan-style. Both dishes were okay. Both dishes did not taste like sichuan dishes. It tasted more like typical Chinese takeout. Would not recommend if you are looking for that authentic Sichuan flavor and spice.

My girlfriend's (and my) favorite restaurant in portland. Absolutely bangin', spicy and flavorful every time.Theyre always pretty busy but deservedly so, wait times arent too bad! Lots of vegetarian options and alternatives. We seriously cant get enough of it there!

Very delicious food and great options. The chili sauce is very good. The quantity and quality of the dishes is very good.
Great vegetarian/vegan options, richly flavored dishes, such friendly staff!

The best Chinese restaurant in Maine, NH, or VT. Detail in every dish, this is Sichuan food from the owners hometown in Sichuan, not the more popularized Sichuan cuisine found in most of China.Note: there are only a handful of places in Maine, NH, or VT to get Chinese food, the rest is American Chinese, it's not the same. Portland Maine has most of them.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan dishes that are supposed to be that way. Totally traditional, no modification needed.Dietary restrictions: Nearly all restrictions can be met by ordering the correct items.Parking: No parking for restaurant. You must fight for parking in downtown Portland. The restaurant is in the center of Portland. There is a lot of street parking, but always very hard to find a spot, especially in summer, weekends, and dinnertime.Kid-friendliness: Very friendly towards children, but no children's menu. Order fried rice for kids is my recommendation, then offer small bits of other food.

These spicy minced pork noodles just saved my life. I was cold. I was tired. I had just driven two hours. I looked back in the sand and saw a single set of footprints. That is when these noodles carried me. My cocktail was also amazing and so was the service. Go here.

Food is incredible. I tried the ants climbing up the tree and the soup dumplings. I have had better soup dumplings but overall service, ambience was all top notch.

Cute little dining room. Started with the daikon salad, which is sour and sweet and crunchy. Mapo tofu and dry fried chicken was delicious and perfectly spiced. Need to try everything else on the menu.

The food and ambience are 10/10, but the service has been abysmal for both dine-in and pick-up both times that I’ve tried to eat here. I’d recommend not going here before a show or any other scheduled plans as you’ll be waiting a while. Other than that, phenomenal food.
