Food is all quite good. Ordered a crispy dried beef dish which was particularly delicious. Spicy! 🔥 Nice cumin flavor. The fried potatoes in it were great. Green beans were also very good. Steamed dumplings were a bit bland. Fried rice was standard. Quick service though the staff isn't particularly kind.

If you want good authentic Sichuan food then in Tokyo this is where you need to go. The fish in spicy eggplant sauce and dimsums tossed in chilli oil both were excellent. The quantity is good for 2 people and reasonably priced.

Very good restaurant!!!! The food had a legit Chinese flavor. Everything we tried was spicy and absolutely delicious. The portions are also much bigger than the average Chinese restaurant in Japan. The employees were very friendly and nice. We will definitely be back 😍 It is a little on the "pricey" side. We paid ¥7,000 for 2 people without drinks, but you can't argue with the food. (The toilets were also EXTREMELY clean).

Sichuan/Szechuan cuisine Date of visit: June 2024 First thing they asked was whether I had a reservation. I did not, but they were able to seat my party of two right away. We ordered on the tablet. Some menu items had photos, which was helpful. The menu was in both English and Chinese. I was able to speak to the servers in Mandarin Chinese. Interior is white, bright, and feels spacious. I got a table that could seat four for just two of us, and it felt more roomy than other places we've been visiting in Tokyo. Food we ordered: -stir-fried lamb with cumin and Japanese pepper ¥1580 - This dish was sadly mostly onions, but the flavor was terrific. I just wish they put more meat for the price. -specialty whole fish ¥4850 - We asked for normal spicy level. It was good. -spicy stew of beef ¥2100 - This dish was also more veggies than beef. I would say it was 75% veggies and only 25% beef. If you love veggies, you would prefer this dish even though it's called stew of beef. I didn't like so many bean sprouts. -rice ¥300 per bowl - much needed with all the spicy food Credit card/Apple Pay accepted. Bathroom available.

Found this place on Instagram and couldn't miss! This huge dessert is 30 cm and a must try! The food is also great, meat, fish, vegetarian options. Not cheap, not fast, but worth it.
