4.0 of 5 stars. If you love spicy food, this is the place for you! Good Sichuan style food, meaning flavorfully-numbingly-HOT! yummzies. Anything in chili oil is worth getting, I personally prefer the chicken though....

4.0 of 5 stars. I was crazy in the mood for some good old Sichuan food and I'm glad I found this place in Monterey Park. It's small and ghetto -- just the way I like my Sichuan restaurants. The best part is that it's...
