Pretty nice Chinese cuisine! Staff were super friendly and politely. We had a great time dining here.
We traveled from Ottawa here in hope trying some authentic Sichuan food. We were not disappointed. The food was good as well as the service. I am really happy to see that there are still chefs who are passionate about introducing authentic Sichuan food to everyone.
Some notes for the owner:
I did find the food way too oily though. I am no stranger to Sichuan food, by the very contrast, I grew up eating Chengdu food. But even for me the oil in every dish we ordered can suffocated me. I didn’t feel well after finishing the meal. I walked in the neighbourhood trying to digest the heaviness in my stomach right after the meal, but I felt that I needed at least 2 hours of workout to get fully “recovered”.
Other than that, as a person who always prefers food with less salt, I surprisingly found my dishes were lack of salt. I am not sure if it was just for that day or it has always been like that. The waitress served us with salt right after we asked, it is just a tiny detail that a chef might pay more attention to though.
And I think the cucumbers in our dish Suanni Bairou would taste much yummy if they were buried underneath the meat.
Last but not least, compared with Sichuan restaurants in Ottawa, it’s much pricey. We ordered two dishes and it cost us nearly 70 bucks, which almost doubled what we paid in other Sichuan restaurants in Ottawa. We feel it’s still worth it. Just a note here for others who are curious about the cost.
In general, it’s a quite a good experience for us. We didn’t drive 40 mins here for nothing. I am told the chef is a Cantonese, and he did a decent job cooking Sichuan food. I also hope there can be more options, at least including some really classical Sichuan dishes like salad chicken and Fuqi Feipian, which are both missing from the menu. How could that be possible?!?!
Authentic Szechuan cuisine in reasonable amount and price. Popular among the local Western and Asian people. And also a good choice for tourists. French English and Chinese service is available.👍
