Excellent first try, and now I must come back to try more dishes.
My favorite was the beef with enoki mushroom in sour soup (金針酸湯肥牛). It felt surprisingly light and was not overwhelmingly spicy. Even my husband who doesn't normally like sour enjoyed the dish. I kept insisting the soup was not that spicy (more sour than spicy; just a bit of a kick on top of the sour), but then I made the mistake of eating what I thought was a pickled vegetable but was actually an extremely hot pepper. Pretty sure I lost a lot of taste buds after that.
The stir-fried chicken with dry red chili pepper (辣子雞) was also great. Unlike other places, the chicken was not too dry, and there was a good amount of chicken. Great flavor and heat.
Finally, we had the stew fish in chili oil (水煮魚). This is in general one of my go-to dishes at a Szechuan restaurant, and it did not disappoint here. Tender slices of fish and good amount of veggies. That said, we did have to do quite a lot of fishing in the hot oil, as it is quite hot and is the numbing hot (ma la), so it's not really a drinkable soup (as is typical of the dish). I would order this again if we have a larger party, but it was hard to power through with just two of us.
