My favorite place to eat in San Mateo, full stop. Outstanding and very well priced Sichuan food thats authentic enough to always be interesting but also be approachable for a more those used to a more western style of Chinese food. The cumin lamb is a must try. Really flavorful broccoli beef. All of the dozen of other dishes I've tried here over multiple visits were also outstanding so you really can't go wrong. Great service who really knows the menu and are always happy to give recommendations. Come here. It's absurd that this place isn't ever full, so capitalize on that for your benefit!
I don’t review much anymore but this place is so slept on I want to keep it alive with sheer force of will. By far the best Sichuan in the area, the only peers I’m aware of is in NYC. They are also the only place here I’ve found that does the crispy fish fillet. Their mapo tofu, green beans, and really just everything is excellent. Filled chock full with chiles, herbs, spices. THEY DO NOT SKIMP! And the portion sizes are good. If you like spicy Chinese food, you have to give it a shot. You will like this place.
The mouthwatering chicken was so so bad. The chicken was still partially frozen (like actual ice crystals in it) and the flavor was not traditional tastes mostly like spicy bean paste and not much sichuan chili flavor. Also it seems like they just took some frozen cooked chicken from the freezer and dumped sauce on it, so the flavor didn't infuse. It was also way too salty. The 3 stars is cause the pan fried beef package was quite tasty.
Did this place change their recipes? Their mapo tofu used to be hearty, flavorful and numbing, but what we got today was completely different. It was tofu sitting in a thin broth with no Sichuan peppercorn, flavorless compared to how it used to be. Still edible but strongly prefer how they used to prepare it.

If you're in search of genuine spicy Chinese cuisine, this is the spot for you. The prices are quite fair, especially given the generous portion sizes. Additionally, the food is carefully packaged, so you can drive home with your takeout without any worries. Overall, I would rate the food a 5 out of 5.
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the owner, Lisa. The MaPo Tofu is simply divine! I also tried the shrimp and chives wontons, which were amazing. I even took some extra frozen ones home for a delicious and healthy meal. Food: 5/5
We ordered Chongqing chicken and tan tan noodles with minced pork and peanuts. Chicken was good but noodles were average. They have changed the menu earlier it used to be much more better and now it was average.
Great Sichuan food. Been here for more 10 years. I wish their bring back the way they prepare the pork belly and garlic sauce. I don't really like the put noodle.
