I ordered the sliced beef tenderloin in golden soup and chicken in scallion garlic. Both tasted exceptionally good, fresh and flavorful. The waitress was very friendly when helping with my takeout order. One con is they were a bit pricy compared to the size. Half bowl of the beef in soup were vegetables. I really like the chicken in scallion and garlic. The skin was so crispy yet the meat is juicy.

Soup and beef are excellent as always, however the G1 - Dry Chili Chicken - 重庆辣子鸡 , especially for the price, was small, overcooked, and tasted like fast food fried chicken. Im sure they will do better next time. Generous with utensils, thank you.

the G1 - Dry Chili Chicken - 重庆辣子鸡 and the
B5 - Dan Dan Noodle - 成都担担面
simply delectable.
The chicken was crispy, spicy and so delicious. if you love heat anything with the words dry and chili from this place might just hit the spot for ya. The noodles were damn near perfect. Every bite was heaven sent. The portions were worth the penny.
Try it out and see for yourself

The Yu Xiang eggplant (yu xiang K15- Stir Fried Eggplant/ Spicy Garlic Sauce- 鱼香茄子) was a little sweeter and less spicy than others I've had, but was very savory and the eggplant was silky and delicious. It's definitely pricey, but the portions are quite large, and you can probably get 2 meals out of a dish + rice. Food came hot and quick.

Tasty as usual, but the G1 - Dry Chili Chicken - 重庆辣子鸡 always feel like there's not enough chicken. And they don't fill up K7 - Mapo Tofu - 成都麻婆豆腐 to the top anymore on the takeout containers. Still the best mala/Szechuan restaurant around.
