Stopped in for a bite to eat on the way home from San Diego Airport- after dropping off the family I needed some comfort food that wouldn’t be totally unhealthy. What a great find! This is really authentic Chinese food and I was so pleased with the quality and layered flavors. The service was outstanding. The lunchtime diners were also friendly. My server was great and giving me suggestions because this isn’t American-Chinese fare, so no sweet & sour pork combos. Don’t let that stop you because the place packs a tasty punch! I had some of the best sautéed cabbage ever and I am of heritages that have an international monopoly on cabbage cuisines. I followed with a spicy 🌶️ dumpling dish and steamed rice. 🍚 I left full and satisfied. The fact that the owner was wearing a Tshirt in honor of veterans made the whole, impromptu stop even better. So glad Google maps helped me find the place. I definitely recommend this lovely spot for a yummy meal.

This is an excellent spot for Sichuan comfort foods. Whenever I crave that numbing spice flavor, I come here and eat Chongqing noodles. The restaurant is very meticulous with the details and it shows in all the enhancements of flavor and texture. It's a family-owned restaurant and the owner is very involved and also just so personable. And parking is easy here. Good spot overall.

Phenomenal soup! Loved the amount of spice and the flavor was top notch. Good amount of beef. Very tender. I got the Braised Beef bowl and was only sad that my giant spoon couldn’t get the last drop of broth at the bottom ;) Might want to keep your napkin tucked into your shirt, splashing might show on ur shirt.

New review- Ordered Chongqing noodles, Wan Zha Mian, Sichuan cold noodles, spicy chicken, and crispy pork. Packaging was great, and noodles stayed fresh. Our favorite was the Wan Zha Mian—chewy with flavorful peas. Chongqing noodles were classic, and the cold noodles were sweet (too sweet for me). Spicy chicken was tender, but the crispy pork was too hard. Portions were big and prices reasonable! Previous review - I’m so happy SD has more and more authentic Chinese food here. This is my first time trying ChingQing style spicy noodles. It was spicy! But so delicious! If you are a spicy lover, you should try it! We also had a spicy braised beef noodles, it was not as spicy as their signature ChongQing spicy noodles. But they have a lot of beef inside, and they are perfectly cooked. Other than the noodles, I highly recommend the lightly fried pork tenders, they are so flavorful and meats are juicy! I love it. The dessert- sesame balls are amazing! They use sweet potato instead of starchy rice which is more healthy and delicious, there’s also yummy homemade red bean paste inside, it’s only $6 for 4. At last, we had a brown sugar jelly soup, so good! It’s only $5. Their price is really unbeatable.

I was in San Diego for work and this place was near my hotel. I decided to give it a try and WOW it was so amazing. I lived in China in 2019 and have not had such amazing dumplings since. The vibe inside was cozy and relaxing and my order was ready quickly. I definitely recommend this place and wish I lived here to be able to go all the time.
