Lily is the reason we keep coming back. She consistently provides outstanding service, is always friendly and attentive, and makes every visit enjoyable. The tangerine chicken is excellent and one of our favorite dishes. Service is usually fast, and you can typically get a table without needing a reservation on most days. We come back just for Lily, and she never disappoints. Highly recommend!

An excellent Szechwan Chinese restaurant that prepares authentic dishes with lots of vegetarian options. The portions were good size, freshly prepared with quality ingredients and delicious. The service was excellent and the options for Vegetarians were plenty. The prices were very reasonable and the location is excellent and easy to reach .

This place is absolutely fire for a lunch special. The portions are very generous for the price. Both gentleman who served us were wonderful. Tony was our main server and recommended my dish. I believe it’s the Tangerine Szechuan Beef, extra spicy. Super flavorful. The food was quickly out and the place was very nice. The gentleman working were super nice. Definitely recommend.

The wonton soup is super delicious! I also loved the cream cheese wontons, they were light and flavorful. We also got chicken and beef fried rice, which were great. The staff was also very nice. Great experience!

My husband and I had such a great experience here! We started with the Spicy Honey & Sesame Chicken Wings, which were excellent. The flavor was perfectly balanced — not too spicy and not too sweet — and they had a light crispiness that made them even more enjoyable. For lunch, I ordered the Szechwan Garlic Chicken lunch combo with fried rice, and my husband got the Sweet and Sour Chicken lunch combo with fried rice. The lunch combos also came with an egg roll, an orange slice, cucumber salad, and a cream cheese wonton, which was a nice surprise. The portions were generous and very filling. What impressed us the most was how fresh everything tasted. Every dish was flavorful and clearly made with care — it definitely exceeded our expectations. The restaurant itself was very clean and peaceful. It was a bit quiet while we were there, but we also happened to be the only diners at the time. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, which made the experience even better. We were also pleasantly surprised by the prices, which were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. We highly recommend this spot and are already looking forward to coming back!

Mandarin chicken is pretty sweet. I’m goona do spicy level 4 for next time. Also the chicken is pretty much crushed. There is 5 tables only, so you should make a reservation.
