This chef-driven Sichuanese restaurant in SGV is exhibit A in well executed Chinese cuisine, with toothpick lamb, cold noodles, tea-smoked ribs, and boiled fish pots as must-order items. Read more

Try their tea smoked ribs which are marinated for 2 to 3 days in a mixture of 17 different fresh herbs and spices, rubbed down with ginger, garlic, scallions, and Sichuan peppercorns to name a few. Read more

This spot has been leading the way giving the community more options than just the typical ‘mala’, numbing spicy dishes. Their ‘Impressive Cold Noodle’ is pretty impressive and perfect for a hot day. Read more

If you like the fire of mala pepper, this is for you. We ❤️ it. Spare ribs, mapo tofu, & fish in rattan pepper are great. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked great. Definitely coming back.

Impressive Cold Noodle - thin noodle strands are tossed with a perfect blend of chili oil and vinegar. Experience multiple flavors in each bite include spicy, numbing sensation, garlic, tangy

Dishes like lamb on toothpicks and hot pots with a dozen different animal cuts bubbling in red oil show off exceptional clarity of flavor and an alchemical approach to spicing. Read more

Cold noodles made an impression, but a Sichuan joint that doesn't serve dan dan noodles hurts the feelings of the Chinese people.

Order the Old School Hot Pot starch noodles for a good smack in the face, along with the Boiled Fish with Rattan Pepper.

Tea smoked ribs 🤤 the cumin lamb and garlic pork is tasty. The cold noodles is surprisingly good.

Been here 5+ times
Tea Ribs rack, sausages, fish pepper and steam chicken are bomb. These are my favorite

Delicious homemade dumplings and the smoked tea ribs are incredible.

Came here with high expectations, the food was only so-so. The cold noodles were quite good, as were the veggies, but the farmer chicken had NO meat and almost no flavor. Toothpick lamb was decent.

Love the toothpick mutton

Food could be spicier. Be sure to ask for full spicy before you order.

Very tasty but beware of peppercorn spiciness.

Death. Don't order this

Not sure got there ordered after 10 minutes was told the kitchen is not able to make food. Had to go elsewhere.
