Authentic Sichuan flavors in Flushing! 🌶️We tried the garlic fish maw with bamboo shoots and black fungus — flavorful with just the right amount of spice and sauce. The dry-fried squid, chicken cartilage, and tofu were also super tasty, full of wok aroma. Portions are generous and perfect for sharing. Definitely a great spot if you’re craving real Chengdu-style spicy food! - Xintong Huang
