Remarks

One would think looking at a place with a menu this large that it would be bad. But it is, in fact, pretty great. I can't believe I've been sitting on this place for so long.

Also after tip and tax, for a huge feast, it was $20 a head.

It's a Sichuan/Hunan restaurant. Tons and tons of vegan options, we only got into a little of it.

Get: - Numbing spicy cucumbers (incredible) - Mung Bean Noodle - Spicy Fried Tofu w/ Explosive Chili - Fire Burst! Cabbage w/Garlic

Don't get - Hunan steamed eggplant with chili - Stinky tofu (unless you like it, but maybe you should explore and try it) - Iron Pot mixed Tofu - Sesame Noodles (it's fine but nothing like Huangcheng)

Way more to explore, I will be here again.

Last sampled 24th February 2025.
