We went during weekend for lunch. The restaurant was quite empty. The waitress was very friendly and checked on us a few times during the meal. I’d say great service. The food was however not really to my liking. The Chingqing spicy chicken 辣子鸡 was made with chicken wings cut in half. The wings didn’t taste fresh, but preprocessed somewhere. The dish also had chunks of undiscovered sugar clumps. The fish-flavored eggplant 鱼香茄子 was served with huge eggplant pieces, but the flavor was pretty good from the sauce. The cumin ribs 孜然排骨 also didn’t taste fresh, but flavor was good as well. Overall, it was ok. Price was pretty good. Maybe I didn’t order the right dishes, but I probably won’t return in the future.

When my friend and I inquired about a certain dish, the hostess was very rude and kept repeating if we wanted our dish to be prepared a certain way, that we should do business elsewhere. We were ONLY INQUIRING about a specific dish... not committing some type of crime or attempting to insult these people. Her attitude was very DEFENSIVE and way out of line. Perhaps we came across as insulting, but we did not mean to. She must be very supportive of RETURN CLIENTS... Just "got off on the wrong foot." I will never make that mistake again.

I’ve been here a few times and the food is pretty consistent. I have tried a few different things and some of my favorites like the chicken wings and cumin spareribs The service is good they are very kind and accommodating. The food is delicious and pretty authentic for San Mateo area. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3 Recommended dishes Chongqing Chili Chicken

Excellent selection of Sichuan dishes. One of our favorites is the boiled fish with flaming chili. Very flavorful, full of Sichuan peppercorns (*not* “spiced down” or sweetened like many other places). Iron pot fish, boiling beef and fish with pickles peppercorns are always great as well.
