This was once the premier Cantonese place around, but now it has been Sichuan for a while, you ma still need to ask for the special menu. One of my very favorite places. The beef with cumin is excellent, the lamb with cumin, the Dan Dan noodles, the Zhong's spicy dumplings, and maybe the beef with bamboo shoots is my favorite dish. The spicy fish in hot pot is great (not the exact name of the dish but that's what it is) and the specials are very reliable. Recommended, and let me know what you think. If you don't order from the special menu, don't even bother going. Right now the clientele is 100 pct. Chinese, a good sign. Note that they don't have a listed phone number.

I'm so glad I stumbled on this review! This is literally the best Chinese food I have had in years. We had the house special chicken, the triple delight, and the spicy tofu with pork. All were excellent. The triple delight really blew me away. The chicken was delicious although a bit challenging to eat. I can't wait to go back and try more.
