So, this place blew me away. In two ways, actually. First, the food was amazing. I ordered online and I suppose that may have set an expectation of what to expect - ok quality food at a decent prices. However, what I got was a completely different experience. The food was outstanding. Hands-down some of the best Chinese food Ive had in recent memory. I only go out for Chinese 2-3 times per year, so a memorable experience is sure to stick with me. I ordered a variety of items, chow mein, sweet and sour pork, almond chicken, etc. And all of it was surprisingly flavorful. The second reason the restaurant blew me away was the price. Lunch for 2 came in at around $55. A little higher than I would have expected, but maybe I just grew too accustomed to Panda Express and mall Chinese food prices. However, I wouldnt argue the price was unfair. If you are going to go, however, be aware that it will be more than you might expect; again, though, all worth it for the great food. I will be going back here soon.

Best Chinese food south of Seattle! I typically will try a new dish each time I go here and so far there is nothing I dislike. Huge menu to choose from so even the picky eaters should be able to find something they like. Of all the different dishes I have tried my favorite so far is actually the deep fried chicken szechuan style. The breading they use combined with the chili peppers and salt are just perfect. Friendly service, but there have been once or twice where they seemed to have forgotten about our table. 9 out of 10 times you will get good service though. Other dishes that are awesome Happy Family, Combination Fried Rice, Sweet And Sour Prawns, General Tsos Chicken, Cumin Lamb, Cumin Short Ribs, Sizzling Rice With Prawn, and Hot And Sour Wonton. The Hot Pot is also a really good choice if you brought your appetite.

I love Asian food! I loved the noodles, I loved the rice, I loved the vegetables. It was a little too spicy for my wife, but she doesnt really go for spicy. She likes Chinese food, but really tries to avoid the spicy. I think I always order too much on the hot side for her, but I usually like it pertty spicy. I know there are differences between the kinds of asian food, but Im not an expert. The egg flower soup and wanton soup are the favorite. My wife likes the wonton soup, but the rest of the family likes the egg drop soup the most. The prices are great, and they have take out too, but we always have dinned in.

They are too hot for American, be aware of it. Very classic Szechuan restaurant, not like some other "fake" Chinese food. 基本上没有地雷，各种菜随便点，非常棒，价格也适中，个人认为塔科马第一，每周都会带几个TCC的校友开车去吃。推荐干煸肥肠，水煮牛，凉面和自助火锅。

Interesting that people rave about this place. Ive been here twice now. The food is decent but what really turns me off is the customer service. The person who took our order spoke to and concentrated on my boyfriend. Almost left without taking MY order. Odd. Not sure. Maybe because hes a man therefore HE gets respect. Our food arrives. The chow mein was watery--as if the noodles were not drained properly. The sweet and sour pork a little dry/overcooked. Im disappointed. My friends say really great things about this place.

Used to be by far my favorite Chinese restaurant outside of Seattle. For whatever reason, they stopped putting Szechaun Peppercorns in there dishes. It makes no sense. The signature ingredient in their namesake style of cuisine, they do not at all serve anymore. I bought the fried fish & mapu dofou the last two dishes, neither of them had a single szechaun peppercorn. I would not recommend or label this restaurant as authentic anymore.

This place is mediocre at best and greasy as hell! The wontons are terrible, extremely hard and over cooked with very little filling. Chicken Chow Mein was drenched in grease. I couldnt even finish it and even then the flavor was just average. Rice was average as well. I can make better Asian style steamed rice at home. Mushroom Chicken was again average and drenched in grease. It saddens me that people think this is good Chinese food.

Food is above average, service is terrible. To have to get up and ask to have water filled, strike one. To forget to put our order in after 40 minutes of waiting for apps, then another 20 minutes for actual meal is rediculous. She flat out lied that she forgot to put our order in. After speaking to manager, I turned around, watched her as I looked back put our order in. Never will be back.

Hands down the best chinese food ive ever had, this place isnt even in the same genre as what you would think of a normal chinese restaurant... This place will keep you coming back! Try the Ma Po Tofu, the dan dan noodles, or the spicy eggplant. Also this place has a huge menu, ive been goin about 2 times a month for 3 years now, and havent made it halfway through it....

fabulous service and fantastic food. Just be ware that spicy means SPICY. Some others have paned this restaurant for not being spicy enough. Ill admit that I have what some would describe as a wimpy tolerance for heat. On the other hand, perhaps they asbestos tongues. Still, flavors are unbelievable. I powered through the heat and will gladly do it again!

Hot pot tipped, faulty burner stand, and burned two people. My mom and niece. No offer of compensation or any kind of accident report. I asked an older Asian worker for an accident or incident report and she shook her head and waved her hands saying no. Mom had arm treated and wrapped for a few weeks, niece was ok. Wont be going there again. Ever.

Im honored to be able to review this restaurant. This place deserves a medal for all the good service, HOTPOT, hot oil, and fish. Im talking about the fish in their aquarium. They have good cooked fish too.and beef. And lamb. And chicken. And tofu. And vegetables. Need I day more? Yes. Try the tea. Just ask for JDB tea. Or gold-can tea.

I really enjoyed their food. It came out to 40$ for me and my husband. The food was really tasty and different. The place was clean. We got white rice, orange chicken, dumplings as appetizer, 1 Flander fish, the hot pot. We are going back!. The only bad thing is they served us the appetizer the exact same time as they brought our food

The place was fairly dirty, feet stuck to the floor everywhere. The food was mediocre at best, although the fried rice was quite good. The portions were large, but the prices were ridiculous. It cost us over $60 for 3 entrees with soup and rice. No return for us. Koko Teriaki in DuPont is still the best in the area to us.

ALWAYS PAY WITH CASH!!! If I could give zero stars I would. After getting a large bill for sub par food, we swiped our card and a few hours later found our account to have been compromised. Over $2,000.00 for already over priced food. Never returning. Not to mention the service was slow and kept forgetting what we ordered.

Omg this place has really good food. When i used to live in fed way there was a authentic chinese place and i always got friend rice and this deep fried spicy chicken and they closed down and this place reminds me of it. Well worth the price and pretty good portions enough for me and the 6 year old. Glad i tried this place
