Beautiful restaurant with attentive and friendly staff and great food. Decor and menu details are thoughtfully done, with paintings of the dunhuang caves as the backdrop. Menus are scrolls. Their whisky cocktail has a stone Lion ice sculpture in it! Very thoughtful atmosphere. We ordered the lamb backbone hot pot and small was the right size for 3 along with grilled sides. Drinks are creatively named, but generally weak, which probably makes sense for the clientele. Staff were all quite friendly and were able to clearly explain the differences in dishes and make recommendations. We also stayed quite a while at closing and they were kind and good at communicating closing. For the experimental diners out there: they have a skewer called lamb treasure that is crunchy and well seasoned and surprisingly so good. You might be able to guess what part it is if you’re familiar with Chinese euphemisms. Fun to order and try as a group! They also have classics like aorta, chicken cartilage, all of which is beautifully seasoned and fun to eat! Will be back when in the area!

Not bad. Had lamb ribs and lamb skewers and beef skewers. Not spicy despite asking for spicier. Chives are a bit salty. Saw another table got the lamb rib hot pot, looks very good, probably will back for that.

A taste of Chinatown in Coolidge Corner I saw this place recently opened and stopped by with some friends for a weeknight dinner. We were welcomed and seated immediately. Everything exceeded our expectations; both the food and service were great! The menu is extensive and filled with regional sichuan dishes as well as more popular Chinese options. We ordered the fish filet with chopped chili, beer braised duck, mapo tofu, and wonton soup. Everything was flavorful and came out quickly. It's tough to pick, but our favorite was the fish, which was served on a sizzling platter and hugely sized. Everything was very reasonably priced. Our waitress and host were both friendly and helpful; we never had to ask for more water or napkins, etc. I recommend ordering things family style as intended due to the portion sizes and variety of options. If you're looking for a comfortable, authentic Chinese restaurant in Brookline, this is the place. I can't think of another like it in the neighborhood; it really felt like we were transported to Chinatown. Highly recommend - we'll be returning customers!

Delicious food and lovely atmosphere! The menu has a great variety of dishes. The staff goes above and beyond to be considerate and kind. Give this place a try — you won’t regret it. Definitely looking to come back to try other items on the menu!
