had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant! The flavors were bold, authentic, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The service was friendly and attentive, and the staff made great recommendations based on our preferences. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot for both casual meals and special occasions. If you're looking for real Szechuan flavors, this place is definitely worth a visit!
Highly recommended, the food there is very delicious! If you like Chinese food, I like spicy Sichuan style! There are also non-spicy ones, usually from 5 to 6 pm! Their store is super busy! I am a slower paced person, so I like to eat in the restaurant between 2-4 pm, and have an early dinner, so that I can enjoy my meal! The portion size there is also relatively large! If you can't finish it, you can take it home to eat! The waitresses there are beautiful and nice! It makes me feel very comfortable and the environment is beautiful! I hope my sharing will bring a better dining experience to you who see the comments! Love and peace
It been a while since last time I have visited, whole different team and I am glad that they finally got someone who can smile while servicing. The kitchen now put different thought on the dish that I always recommended, salt and pepper shrimp! The way they deal with shrimps makes the texture and presentation of this dish completely different from other Chinese restaurants. As a person who only care about foods, I am looking forward to find more surprises right here.
House special no tofu, such a weird name that catch my attention. I’m glad that I found another great tofu dishes to replace the one I use to have at Szechuan JMC. A lot of people might not like or don’t like about tofu, but if you cook it at the right way, slow stew it with bunch of flavorful ingredients, it can turn you into a “ rice killer”. The pork intense I order is over fried and became too dry, luckily we have this yummy tofu sauce to dip it in, saved my lunch to a happy ending. Will come back to explore the menu.
A local gem at North Chicago. Such large and diverse menu! Very authentic Chinese and Sichuan dishes and large potions! Our family always stopped by here for dinner each time we visited Chicago. This time we had mustard green, mapo tofu (best mapo ever), seafood spicy hotpot and chicken sizzling rice soup. Update: A year later still awesome! Added a new picture.
