TLDR: Food is great, service sucks. If youre the type of person who considers service more important than food, then this isnt the place for you. This place is authentic Chinese restaurant, in every sense of the word. Not only is the food is authentic, the service is too (and of course they still expect a tip lol). This is a place that takes 20 minutes to get you a spoon, only to tell you that you can pick it up at the middle of the restaurant yourself. So why the 4 stars? Because I love the food so much I try to ignore the crappy service. They also have some "good days" when they serve you like a normal restaurant would.

After being extremely excited to try out a new collegetown restaurant, this place was immediately disappointing. The room was incredibly drafty on a night that wasnt that cold out, the service was poor (took 25 minutes after getting seated to even get a pot let alone food), the vegetables werent washed. Having gone in mainly to sample many different choices the staff told us they were "out" of all the half orders and then proceeded to change and bill us for a full portion of everything. I thought this would have been a fun place to go to regularly but I now have no intention on returning.

The food here is fantastic, and is totally authentic. In addition to the Szechuan cuisine found in most "authentic" Chinese restaurants, they also have some traditional foods from northern China like sauerkraut and green bean noodles and "Ants Climbing On a Tree". The price is typical for a sit-down Chinese restaurant, and the service is acceptable - not bad enough to make me not want to come here. Come here if you want the best Chinese food in the local area.

Ive been here twice with friends, and both times the wait for our food was very long. The second time they lost our order and came out 30 minutes later to get it again. We got hot pots both times. When they finally came out, all of the meats were frozen and pieces were stuck together into one massive chunk. That said, the broths were good, and the veggies were fresh.

Great place! I have lived in Asia for a while and have been looking of authentic Chinese cuisine for a while. This hot pot place is exactly that. The food is good and the service fast. Americans who are used to the extra friendly, sometimes devote service, might have to adjust a little bit here but its worth the experience.

Delicious, authentic, family style scezhuan. I spent 20 years in The City dining in Chinatown; this is the only comparable place around ithaca, IMHO. The staff is friendly and courteous. If youre not in the mood for a leisurely meal, call ahead, to make sure theyre not slammed or, for take-out

Love this authentic slice of Sichuanese cuisine in a surprisingly spacious basement restaurant. Clientele is 99% Chinese so you know its good. Food came immediately. Love their egg tomato noodle soup, Dan Dan noodles, lamb with cumin, and cucumber salad.

Great food, authentic flavor, busy but unique. A real treat, just not very big. If you bring a big party, make sure theres space first. If there is, the hot pot is phenomenal.
