Delicious! Don't be afraid to order level-10 spicy for the proper Sichuan buzz. I got the Chongqing chicken and the smoked tofu and celery appetizer for delivery. So good and very fast to North Slope!

Spectacular. We really like Hunan Delight (always well done) but wanted a variation, so we tried Authentic Szechuan-and bam! While maybe obvious, we hadn't thought about the difference between Hunan cooking and Szechuan cooking, but it's now clear. A solid choice.

Only did takeout. In consistent. First time excellent. Second time so-so. They do not dumb down the spicy quality as much as a lot of Chinese restaurants.

we ordered from this place many times and it was ok. But last couple times food was not fresh and taste discasing. When we call to complaint the lady told as that she will tellvery her boss. Newer again

This place is the GOAT for authentic, real Szechuan flavors - none of that orange chicken shii! Don't listen to all the one star reviews of this place talking about their General Tso's chicken and other Americanized Chinese dishes! We ordered everything under the house specialties section with a high spice level (it could've still been spicier lol) - the shredded potatoes with chili, the pork belly with leek, the cauliflower dry pot, and the sesame noodles and everything was so good! Food came hot and ready to eat and they gave us plenty of rice too. Maybe all y'all talking about your \\\"inauthentic\\\" general tso's chicken should try ordering some real Szechuan dishes off their menu and then you can change your 1 star to 5 stars.

Incredible szechuan food, damn good americanized-chinese food, spice levels exactly what you'd want, huge menu, fast-to-astonishingly-fast delivery, absurd vegetarian selection and all my omnivore friends love it too. I love this spot.

It was our first time ordering and we wouldn’t order again. The food was sub par and not authentic. My General Tso’s chicken tasted oddly, excessively of cloves and was not the usual savory sauce. My husband’s Kung Pao chicken was also deep fried, but it’s traditionally not served fried and he didn’t want it fried. The spicy chili wontons were not spicy or chili flavored at all but covered in a weird peanut sauce. They only gave one rice instead of two. Also, the delivery estimate was 30 min but it took them 90 min to deliver; we live less than a mile away from the restaurant too. And when they arrived, they didn’t read the delivery instructions and called me asking for the apartment number even though I told them that the building doesn’t have apartment numbers, and to ring the buzzer with my name. The driver kept asking me over and over and I kept telling him to ring the buzzer with my name and go to my floor. Would not recommend.

This is my choice for best Chinese food establishment in Brooklyn. The food is consistently fresh, delicious, and well presented. I find the menu and flavors at this place are of a more sophisticated palate when it comes to Chinese food. Their dishes are more on the "authentic" side, and their seasoning and preparation of dishes makes them stand out amidst many options for this cuisine in the area. The interior deco and ambiance if this place is also more elegant, which awards them the best rating. Don't be afraid to request items or dishes not on the menu (we requested baby bok choy), when they are able to accommodate, they do it well. Came today for New Year's celebration and was not disappointed!

It says "Authentic " but that was so far from accurate. The vegetable dish was smothered in a sauce that tasted like watered down ketchup - ugh. I really hope it was just a major off day !
