    I couldn't believe that this place doesn't have the 5 stars. I mean, be aware. This place won't be stingy about using peppercorn. It was my first time trying dry ma la pot. And it was really good. Server was very knowledgeable and suggested good combination of food to try out for the first visitor. You just need to know yourself how much of the peppercorn you can handle. You come here and complain about lots of peppercorn seems absurd to me. This place opened quite a long time ago but the interior doesn't seem to be outdated. Place is spacious and it seems like maintained well. I honestly thought of bringing my friends from the out-of-states to here for the casual Asian dinner night.

    Always reliable, fast and delicious; well packaged. Ordered again on UberEats for self pick up. Everything was ready when I got there. No-fuss, easy pick up. I recommend their Mongolian beef (with green scallion, delicious); bok choy mushroom; sweet and sour soup; and salt and pepper prawn. All classic and nicely presented.
