Szechuan food for dinner! We usually go to a place in West Plano, but my son suggested trying another restaurant he found tucked away in a less visible spot (still easy to find though). It wasn’t very full on a weekday evening, but I’m sure it gets busy during lunch and weekends. The ambiance was simple with traditional Chinese décor. Our waiter spoke minimal English but was very efficient and friendly. She quickly gave us the menu and took our order. We ordered:• Fresh live tilapia steamed with spicy sauce, broccoli, and bean sprouts – very tasty, though a bit bony• Steamed rice – good• Green beans with ground beef – crunchy and flavorful• Boiled Chinese broccoli in a soy-based sauce – simple and delicious Best part: it’s very affordable!We’ll definitely be coming back.

This is my favorite weekend lunch-late lunch spot. This visit we ordered the special spicy Chongqing Style Fried Fish, A-chong greens in garlic, and mapo tofu (vegetarian). The fish comes out in its own serving platter with the fire underneath to keep it near-boiling. There must have been five different types of pepper—fresh, pickled, fried/dried.. the potato, lotus, wood ear, and long bean sprouts.. and cauliflower and peanuts (used sparingly) were so well balanced. Owners are always friendly and accommodating.. it’s a far drive out for us, but well worth the trek.

October 2025 We decided to visit this restaurant after recent took out orders. Clean restaurant and generous portion but our selection was mediocre. Our claypot spare ribs have great portion but that was not the taste I was looking for, too peppery, I think missing ginger and garlic. I was looking for a comfort food experience on a cool night. The beef was light and flavorful. Our table near us order orange chicken and it smelled wonderful and appetizing. Maybe we need to revisit to order something different.

We visited for dinner and ordered Chicken in Garlic Sauce, a Shrimp with Vegetables dish, and A-Choy. The food was fresh and tasty. Some of the wait staff didn't speak English well, but others do so we were still able to order. Nice people here. Worth checking out!

Flavorful Sichuan style Chinese food. Quantity was appropriate for the price, although the beef dish was the most expensive and for this I would've expected more. Got: Thinly sliced beef with pepper, pork with bamboo shoots, combination fried rice, and fish with salt & pepper. Also got fried rice cake with brown sugar syrup. My favorite dish was the fish with salt & pepper, it was perfectly crispy and seasoned. The pork and beef were too salty for my liking, and are best eaten with white rice which I unfortunately didn't have since it cost $1 for and I didn't want to spend extra money on rice if I was gonna have fried rice. Fried Rice was a huge quantity but it correlated well with the asking price so I can't be upset with it but I did wish for a little more meat, but overall flavor was fine. The service was good and the workers were attentive. The fried rice cake wasn't as great as I was expecting. I would've wanted a crisper exterior with the mushy, soft interior, inside the outside was still pretty soft. The brown sugar syrup was too sweet for my liking and I wanted to have it watered down. Overall, a nice place to try.
