The remarkable thing about this restraunt is that the entrees presented before my eyes are exactly the same as the advertisement pictures on the wall. But the tap water has impurities. I recommend the braised pork belly. It’s a traditional Chinese dish that Chairman Mao ate to enjoy every day. Unfortunately, it’s rarely found in San Francisco.
Best Dan Dan Noodles in town. By far.
Also have superior chili pork dumplings.
Szechuan fish is amazing. You might not try their Szechuan eggplant, but it's one of my favorite eggplant dishes in general.
Even their house chow mein is great: chicken, beef, shrimp.
Clean restaurant. Fast service. Great prices.

Mapo tofu was delicious and service was excellent!
Lunch special is a good deal also - $15 for an entree, soup, rice, and 2 vegetables!

Came in pretty late shortly before they closed with a large group. It was empty except for us. The food came out quickly and the staff were really friendly and even took a photo for us.
One issue though is that the quantity of the food isn't a lot. So, while I guess the dishes are family style, for a Chinese restaurant it just wasn't a lot. It tasted really good though!

This place has some seriously good Dan Dan Noodles. And you get a really sizable portion for the price!
They also make a really good Kung Pao Chicken, with a nice spice; they add a bunch of chilis for a Sichuan-style kick.

We were a party of 4 and we were craving for Chinese food. It was our first time eating here and the menu looked good with photos. The prices seemed reasonable for San Francisco. We enjoyed our dinner. The only caution is to make sure to pay attention to whether the dish is spicy or not. I ordered the grilled fish pot and it came very spicy. I still ate the dish since it was delicious.
Food 4.5 fresh and well seasoned; Ambiance 3; Service 4.5 attentive and helpful; Nice balance of flavor and spice, my new favorite because of the variety for those who don't want spice and they are not shy about the spice if you like it hot; 2 people; $67
Went with a high expectation after reading good reviews for vegetarian food, but felt the taste was only average. Tried the vegetable potstickers, Dan Dan noodles, Mapo Tofu. The tofu was extremely soft but didn't exactly feel as spicy as it was marked super spicy on the menu (note: my spice appetite is pretty good). Potstickers were good but the very popular noodles actually felt undercooked and very chewy - but the host said that's how they're prepared so I guess it didn't fit my palette but can work for others. Service was pretty friendly and ambience was casual.
