Authentic Chinese restaurant with a huge menu and functional interior. The prices are reasonable and the food was generally very good. We had stir fried lamb with cumin and the salt and pepper duck tongues which were excellent. The sour and spicy soup was ok, I've had better. The service was quick and friendly.

Soulful food. I recommend the jasmine tea as the quantity and quality both will satisfy you. The servers are quite friendly and will help you out with the menu if you can't decide what to order. The food quantity is really good and will fill you up to the brim especially any item you order with the sauce. Last but not the least it has got a good and quiet ambience which you can enjoy with both friends and family.

This is without a shadow of a doubt the best place to eat in Lancaster, if you enjoy the spicier side of life. A genuine and authentic (as far as I can tell) taste of Sichuan cousine. Many of the dishes with chilli use Sichuan peppercorn which gives you a unique numbing of the mouth without being eye wateringly spicy. We regularly go for celebrations of special events in life, or if we've been away for too long. I would recommend the pork chef special and ma po dou fu seen on the attached photo, with some rice and bok choy cooked in garlic. The portions are generous and between two sides and two mains you'll be completely stuffed. Other dishes we've tried are the hot pots (yum) and the dandan mian noodles (also yum and MASSIVE). Also the cold chicken in chili sauce from the cold menu is surprisingly refreshing! The 'chinese' menu has rough translations of the dishes so don't be afraid to reach for that one. Mind you Google tripe before you order it 😂😁 The servers are friendly and smiley, we've never had problems with the service.

One of the best and most authentic Chinese restaurants around, don't leave Lancaster without eating here! If you don't eat too spicy food, go for stir fried pork with coriander and/or lamb stew with ginger..

Fantastic food. Rated the best authentic Sichuan in the area by Chinese friends and they aren't wrong. Service was fast.

A very nice little restaurant with delicious Chinese food! The menu has a really long list of various dishes! I had problems to choose one, would have loved to try everything! Also really loved the decorations. You should definitely give it a try when you are in Lancaster!

Went there for my first try of Chinese food with friends. The restaurant has a rich menu of Chinese foods which can both be a blessing or a curse. Luckily the staff were helpful with providing recommendations. Had chilli chicken and white rice and although the chicken was a bit too spicy hot for my liking, I enjoyed the meal. Also got to try the beef and one fish stew from my friends plates and they were nice, especially the beef. My other friends who ordered noodle soups also enjoyed them.

Authentic Chinese food with a large variety of options on the menu. The food was good, with alternative options to suit your level of spice tolerance. It also opens until 22:00 which is an added perk. However, it's slightly overpriced and the waiters and waitresses come across as slightly impatient.

I love eating here, me and my partner always go. Good for people who like spice and others who prefer milder dishes.

My sister raved about this place, so visiting Lancaster, we decided to have lunch here.. Food was bland apart from the beef in black bean sauce. Had to ask for soy sauce to give it some flavour. Even my sister who has been coming to eat for years wasn't impressed. Forgot some of my order. Maybe it was just a one off. Will visit again and give it another try. Very busy and food was very fresh. Will post another review when I visit again.

My partner and I visited today and we both agreed it was one of the best Chinese meals we've ever had. The salt and pepper chicken was incredible, tender chicken and tasted fantastic. The interior is lovely and very clean. Will definitely visit here again next time I'm in Lancaster!

What attracted us to this place is the Chinese clientele. It was packed with people! Friendly but not very attentive staff, they obviously are short of staff. They didn't give us chopsticks, assuming we don't know how to use them. The noodles were yummy, big portions and plenty of large fresh prawns in. The sweet and sour pork delicious but the vegetables spring rolls were fresh and crispy but hardly any vegetables in. Will definitely come back again. Extensive menu but a little confusing having 2 of them.

As you walk in you see mostly chinese students eating here. Which is an amazing sign. Food is as close to authentic chinese food as you can get. Only issue is the place is quite small so its safer to book if you want to eat here.
