While relatively popular, the food is not authentic Sichuan or Peking cuisine and caters more for western tastes. Quality of service has varied on several visits, but staff are friendly. For those familiar with real Chinese food will be a little disappointed since the menu is a pale imitation on real Beijing [Peking] and Sichuan [Szechuan] cuisine. I have never had Ma La Tofu [麻辣豆腐] with peas in it, nor where tofu has been deep fried.

What the hell is going on ???...

I also found the prices...
