An authentic Chinese restaurant. Good food good portion, nice atmosphere. Ok service as most authentic Chinese restaurants with mandatory 18% service charge.

The taste is very authentic. ?The Beijing roast duck skin is thin、crispy and not greasy. If the temperature can be kept while serving to the table, it will be even better to melt in the mouth when it is with sugar!

Great Kung Pao Shrimp tonight served by very courteous and attentive staff.

This place is great! Service if superb. They are so helpful and will let you try samples (pre-COVID). Note: They make their boba in house, so if you arrive later in the day they may have run out. I really like how you can customize your drink in terms of sugar/ice levels etc. They have a good variety of bubble tea (not super extensive) and add-on options. Will keep going back!

It 's is not surprising that a traditional Chinese joint now exists in Lafayette IN, the Asian student population in Purdue has grown exponentially in the last 10 years. They have a sister spot in Evanston IL as well which I have not yet tried.The interior of the restaurant is nothing to write about, it is like a fast food joint but that is not what you are here for. The food is authentic, nothing fancy, just good 'ol authentic Chinese food from the Szechuan region. This is not a General Tsao 's Chicken, Beef and Broccoli and Sweet and Sour Chicken, Panda Express cookie cutter type of place. The cooking style is very exclusive, and definitely leaning towards the spicy and heavy side. I don 't need to tell the Chinese crowd, but If you know the cuisine, had tried it before and liked it then I would strongely recommend you to give this a try. There is probably nothing like this within a 50 miles radius. The service is extremely fast, and for $5.00 you will get about 3 cups of white rice ?
