Sat in the back with 2 other couples and our friend ordered in Chinese. Unreal! So good and the service was great. I don't know all the official names of what we ate, but I'll add descriptions on the pictures.

I’m not the type to write a review, in fact, this my first review ever. This place is 1000% worth writing a review for and talking about. Came to Indiana to visit a friend and they recommended this place. Easily the best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever had. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing. I had the fried rice and sweet and sour shrimp. If you’re in town and can’t decided what to get go with this place. You won’t be disappointed

Food is beyond delicious. Dined in once and ate out like twice. The wait for both is surprisingly shorter than youd think. Food is better when you dine in. Though that's just my opinion.

One of the best Schezwan restaurants I have ever been to. Seems like a family run business. Wheelchair accessible and so are restrooms. Spacious inside. Lots of good choices for vegetarians. Loved the Dry Pot Tofu. Mapo Tofu, Eggplant w/ Garlic Sauce, Sautéed String Beans, Sautéed String Beans and cold noodles were awesome.

One of our favorite places where we have been several times. They offer various fish and shrimp dishes. Their shrimp fried rice and spicy fish filet are very good.

My Chinese friends tell me this is the best Chinese restaurant around so I’ll take their worst for it. Had a variety of dishes and they were all quite good. The beef dishes were the best, particularly the fried styles.

Went in, group of six, for a friend's graduation celebration. We ordered Deep fried Chinese buns, Cold noodles with house special chilli sauce, Tea smoked duck, Stir fried tofu, Chicken fried rice, Crispy Fried shrimp, Sizzling fish fillet, Fish soup. All of us felt full and total cost came up to below 160. Food: Quality of food was really good, correct amount of sauce, flavours, salt, cooked to the right temp. Quantity was large enough for the cost for all the food items Service: They had an unexpected amount of crowd for a Sunday (due to graduation ceremony at Purdue) and handled it really well without much chaos and we were greeted, placed well without any waiting, and given all the extra utensils, and warm water as soon as requested. Atmosphere: Clean, spacious and Calm
