Best place for students, family and friends. If you want to have a taste of Chinese food, this place is one of the best Asian restaurant in the twin cities. We often visit here and also had small parties. We found many dishes to be tasty and awesome. Restaurant is clean and ambiance good.
Went here with a friend from Szechuan Province and asked him to order for me. Wow! The spice was amazing. Really enjoyed all of it, especially the pork spare ribs.
One of the best Chinese in town! I got the mapo tofu and the dried chili chicken both were very good and best served with rice. Menu is also very large but the food seems to be maintaining its quality . Highly recommend trying if you want great Chinese food in the area.

Mongolian beef lamb too and dumplings are amazing too. Ive never eaten anything there I didnt like. Ill miss it so much.
