1. Cold dish: you can choose all vegetarian, mix of non veggie/veggie, or all non-vegetarian. I chose bitter melon, spicy tofu and celery with tofu. They were all good, not to mention this contributed to my daily veggie intake . 2. Spicy two delicacy (shui zhu liang yang): you get to choose what 2 protein to add to your spicy "bowl", beef, pork, fish filet...etc., and i chose beef and fish filet. Man, it was delicious! 3. Spicy beef (yu xiang rou si): The restaurant is very generous with the pork strips. The dish is very tasty and good with rice. 4. San xian guo ba: i really don't know how to translate this and i can remember what the menu callwd it‍. In short, San xian = three seafood and guo ba = rice cake. This is a good dish and I don't see in a lot of restaurants. The dish came with squid, fish filet and shrimp. This actually had a lot of sauce and can be eaten as a soup . All the dishes I had were very good, very tasty.

I love this place! Huge menu and the cold dish selection at the front! Hehe. A bit of a language barrier but overall a great spot.

I underestimate how well done the majority of the hot dishes here are. The Spicy Boiled Fish is far more flavorful than the same dish at practically every other restaurant. It could be garlic, or MSG, but whatever it is works great. I like that it's not watery, but rather more saucey which goes well with rice. The Mapo Tofu is the most flavorful I've tried as well with the perfect balance of numbing, spicy, and other flavors. You really can't go wrong with any of the hot dishes. The cold dishes I feel could be tastier but they're adequate, while the cucumbers are quite a large chunk so it's not pleasant to bite.

This restaurant is in a strip mall with many popular places and parking is always a challenge. There is street parking near by. We have only ever gotten the cold cuts here. We like them a lot. Sometimes they cause indigestion, but we still like them. You can get three items either meat or veggies for a set price. We usually get one of each. The veggies choices include: seaweed, two differ kinds of mushrooms, tofu, American celery, fungus, and cucumber. The meat choices include: intestines, pig ears, beef lung, beef tongue, chicken feet, and chicken gizzards. Some meat and veggie choices are spicy. The veggies go bad in 2-3 days, so eat them fast. We have never seen them crowded, so it is typically pretty quiet. The people who work here seem to be Mandarin mainlanders, so it helps to speak Chinese to order.
