Sichuan Kitchen

I was here for dinner, walking in, it’s a nice little restaurant. The interior decor and design is great. I had the spicy dumplings for starter which was so delicious. Then I ordered the spicy pork noodles, they never asked me about the spice level so I assumed it would be what most can eat. The food came out extremely spicy, I tried one bite and knew there was no way I could eat it. They were generous enough to make my food again on a milder spice level but please make sure you specify how spicy you want your food. The heat is real. Besides that, I had a good experience here and I might be back to try more menu items.

This place blew me away. I wasn't expecting to have such bright bursts of complex Szechuan cuisine but every bite was an eyes widening head nodding "ooohhh yeah!!!" Tian shui noodles were the perfect way to start off. The sweet and sour cabbage was a sleeper agent. Really flavorful and cooked just right- some crunch but also soft enough. The double cooked pork was so tender. The xiao long bao also tasted so fresh. Everything was spicy and flavorful and unique. without all tasting the same. The menu had so many authentic options that I can't wait to try. Such kind calm service and peaceful atmosphere.

This was our first time eating Sichuan cuisine, and let me tell you... What a delightful experience! This place has taken the cake in the Portland Asian Food category for me! We ordered the sweet & sour cabbage and veggie buns to start, my husband got the double cooked tofu and I had the mala dry hotpot. Ho. Ly. Mo. Ly. Each dish was incredibly flavorful! The sauce of the sweet & sour cabbage was so tasty and the cabbage was still nice and crunchy. The veggie buns were delicious and I wish there were a couple more in the order, we ate them so fast! Both of our main dishes were phenomenal. The combination of spices was so satisfying and I couldn’t stop eating my mala dish! At first, I thought the “mouth-numbing” description of the meal was referring to how spicy it would be, and I was down for it. NOPE. ACTUALLY MOUTH NUMBING. AND ACTUALLY INCREDIBLE. The variety of veggies and the jasmine rice was just too damn good. Paired with a Sapporo, this little lady was a happy camper with a full belly. Man, I can’t wait to get back to this cozy little place! The vibes were right with a comforting atmosphere, service was stellar and attentive, and the food was on point to put it lightly!

Maybe our favorite restaurant in Portland since moving in June! Each dish is an absolute winner. We had the soup dumplings, mapo tofu, Xiao long bao and green beans. Each blew us away. Complex, soul-satisfying flavors that stay with you for the rest of the night. Such a treat!

This is some of the best Chinese food I've had in the United States. We got the vegetarian buns, ma-la hot pot (be prepared for mouth numbingly spicy vegetables and tofu), and the cucumber salad. It was all delicious!
