Delicious, authentic Sichuan food. My go-to is the dan dan noodles, but plenty of other incredible dishes. Be mindful of the Sichuan peppercorns, though. It'll numb your mouth. 😉

I've been here once, but I love it! The food here is authentic, and the servers will speak to you in Mandarin/Cantonese if you're comfortable in those languages. On the pricier side, but well worth.

Delicious, authentic Szechuan food. House spicy anything is probably a good bet. The House Spicy fish was wonderful. The lunch special was a great value with egg roll, soup, and green beans included

One of the very few authentic Chinese restaurants in the Twin Cities. Of all the Tea Houses this is my favorite.

The kissing booths really add to the atmosphere, especially if you are on a date!

Good Sichuan food, but many dishes are needlessly heavy on the oil.

Beautiful interior; not nearly as good as the one near Battle Creek. If you want quality Americanized Chinese food than this is your place.

Soup (pork) dumplings are amazing. Bite the top off and suck the soup out. Mmmmm.

The service is great. And make sure you try out the booths with the curtains/ "kissing booths"

It says they open at 10:30 but nothing is even ready until 11 at least because the staff isn't given time to prep before they are made to arrive at the time of "open" which results in long wait times.

Sezchuan fishes. Garlic chicken.

If you want a good burn, order the spicy beef.

The only place in Southeast that serves yellow drank

Meals are a bit pricey and a. little too oily. The interior design is excellent though.

Szechuan noodle is so bland. Don't order it.
