Food is good but parking is very difficult. The restaurant isn't crowded on a Friday night. I think it is because of the parking situation. We spent a good half an hour looking for parking and ended up parking somewhere a 8 minutes walk away. I advise people take public transportation or walk. Food was unique in their flavor of compared to other run of the mill Sichuan restaurants. Portions are huge and they make food tailored to your party's liking.

Good service. Excellent value. My death row meal is the double cooked bacon and garlic bak choy… seriously. Bone-in spicy chicken dish with potatoes but I understand that’s the style. Making this place a staple!

Love this place. If you're looking for authentic Sichuan cuisine, you'll find it here. Low key and unassuming place with outstanding food and really friendly service. (I ordered the fish fillet in hot chili sauce tonight--highly recommend!)

When I say this owner and her husband know what is authentic Sichuan food, I mean it. This small restaurant is a hidden gem in Brighton. I genuinely believe their presence elevates the neighborhood. Their menu is small because (1) their dishes are carefully selected and (2) they continue to remove unpopular dishes throughout the year and add new dishes that they master. The place looks frill-less from the outside, but their dishes can take you on a trip to inland China with just one bite. Note: Their foods are SPICY and can be oily. But whoever cooks knows that oil is essential to some delicious dishes. If you care deeply about a diet and can’t slack for a day, Sweetgreen is two miles away. Also, don’t ask them to reduce the spiciness or oil because it’s like asking KFC not to fry their chicken——it’ll be soulless. However, if you are adventurous and curious about the real Sichuan dishes without leaving Boston, this is where you should go. I didn’t grow up eating spicy food, but I’ve come to adapt the spicy taste and quite like it. Now my boyfriend and I come here every weekend to try a new dish and have made this our weekly ritual. Still, be prepared for some tastebud kicks, because you are going to experience the real deal!

Very authentic Sichuan cuisine with excellent hot pot meals for two (pictured). Staff offers to help you with spice level preferences if needed which is nice. Cute decor & light seating. No alcohol, but a wide variety of delicious seltzers, juices, and teas. Great spot for lunch/dinner with friends or a casual date.
