Very authentic Chinese food. Large menu, lots of unique dishes you don't find at typical Chinese restaurants. They have a few large tables that can easily accommodate 10 people.
Be a pioneer of your own pallete and fear not the spice or selections such as pig tongue, green bean jelly, cold black fungus, or lotus root. Okay, I'm not yet that brave but I did go outside the middle America everywhere Chinese menu and was rewarded with WOW! Triple A rated: affordable, authentic and agreeable!
This place is at the corner next to Lion Supermarket. It's an ok Szechuan place if you order the right dishes and ask for more authentic flavors. 5-10 years ago, this place would be considered authentic in the Bay Area. There are a number of similar places nowadays. If it's the closest and most convenient place to get your Szechuan fix, do go.
They have big tables and lots of spaces there. Foods are not very spicy. I liked mapo tofu, tastes great.
And if they could put less oil in dishes it would be better.
