Google Review

“Michelin-Level Chinese in Palo Alto!”
The flaming Szechuan fish lives up to the hype—tender fillets swimming in aromatic chili oil with perfect numbing heat. Their orange chicken avoids cloying sweetness, with crispy texture intact under glaze. Wine-poached rice desserts are ethereal. Impeccable tea service too!

“Szechuan & Cantonese Perfection!”
As a Chengdu native, I wept over the “Big Plate Chicken’s” authentic mala punch (those potatoes!). The walnut shrimp rivals Hong Kong banquets—plump crustaceans in light honey-mayo. Lunch prix-fixe includes soup and tea-smoked duck salad—unbeatable $28 for this quality.

“Date Night Worthy Every Time!”
The black truffle xiao long bao (weekend special) burst with umami broth. My fiancé still raves about the dry-fried green beans’ wok hei smokiness. Intimate booths and knowledgeable wine pairings make this our anniversary spot.

“Consistent Excellence for 5+ Years!”
Weekly takeout of their sesame rice balls survives the 20-min drive—chewy outside, molten black sesame inside. The tea-smoked ribs travel beautifully. Owners remember regulars and often gift almond cookies. Peninsula’s most refined Chinese!
