The restaurant is tiny and does not seat more than 14 people, but it is absolutely worth the wait if you are planning on dining in, but be warned though that the restaurant has no ambiance to speak of.
The food has bold flavors, particularly the pungency and spiciness resulting from liberal use of garlic and chili peppers, as well as the unique flavor of Sichuan pepper. The food is authentic and is not modified to suit expat palates, so if it is an authentic experience you're looking for, then this place is great.
For starters we ordered the Chicken and shrimp Sumai and the seaweed salad. The Sumai were essentially steamed dumplings and they were excellent. My only gripe is that there is no dipping sauce, and you are expected to use the fiery hot chili sauce or the soy sauce on the table. The salad was crisp and bursting with flavor.
For the main course we tried the popular Dan Dan noodles, which were spiced noodles and a hearty beef noodle soup which was also extremely flavorful.
We also ordered the garlic egg fried rice and a steamed chicken dish. The egg fried rice was extremely garlicky in a good way, and the steamed chicken was fall of the bone tender in a spicy sauce.
We tried their famous bubble milk tea and found it to be just O,K.
The staff are friendly, but they could perhaps do with a waiter that speaks good English to help with recommendations.
All the food and the noodles are made from scratch, but yet service is not slow.
Be wary if you are allergic to sesame seeds or sesame oil as a lot of the dishes are doused in it, though we did ask them to avoid it in a dish and they did as my daughter is allergic to sesame seeds.
The place is tiny and does not have a washroom or toilet that I could see.
Prices are reasonable, but not cheap and they have daily specials which are definitely worth trying. I would go back to try their brisket noodle soup.
Worth many repeat visits.
