Not bad! I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors. Cumin lamb was great, but like any other places in america , its laced with too much veggies. Salt and pepper scallops were a bit greasy, but the skewers were great! Def get the mala beef, which is super spicy, but authentic flavor
The hot pots are amazing. So flavorful and spicy. I always order hot pot for dining in and dry pot for take out.
This is not what you would expect. The only food that tastes as you would expect is the white rice; everything else has a flavor unlike the Chinese food to which I am accustomed. Be aware: it is good but it is sichuan so expect it to be on the spicy side. Recommended.
I had hot pot with their signature beef and veggie combo and it was excellent. Highly recommend! My wife and her sister had "dry pot" and were underwhelmed. My response to them was that if you go to a hot pot restaurant, it's probably a good idea to get the hot pot...they were not amused. But seriously, get the hot pot. Better yet, all get hot pot with different proteins and try a bit of each!
Very tasty, fun experience. We had one mild and one hot broth and both were great with the various meats, veggies, and starches we picked. Everything seemed fresh. Would like to try the "dry" pot next time. Park at the American Legion across the street for free. No reservation needed for a small party on a Sunday night.
