    The service and food were phenomenal! The seabass was incredibly delicious! We tried the special soup they had, which was gazoacho. Oh my gawd, it was incredible. Perfect on a super uncomfortably hot day. We sat outside in their covered area, and they had a fan going which was delightful. The restaurant was nice and clean, and tables were cleared and reset up lickitysplit. Plenty of parking available in the lot and on the street.

    Overall, one of the better Chinese restaurants around. Spacious 2nd floor establishment (good for groups), very airy with colorful murals and subtle lighting. Easy to miss from one angle outside. Not being big fans of valet parking, especially since the place is in a modest shopping plaza, we parked on the south side of Santa Monica Boulevard and walked over. I wasn't a fan either of those digital menu boards, but fortunately, a nice staff person eventually came to our rescue. Feels like a family-run operation, which is mostly positive. The servings were generous and reasonably priced, the dishes, fresh, tasty and colorful. I'll not bore you with descriptions of each one, but standouts were the ribs, wontons, and green beans with ground beef. The "toothpick" lamb, though, was a tad"rubbery," and the chili fried chicken way too salty to the point that most of the latter went untouched after the first few bites. You can't win'em all, as generally the food was quite tasty. I would definitely go back. PS Traditional Sichuan fare apparently is quite "spicy." If you're a wimpy anglo dude like myself, tell them to skip the heavy (or mild) stuff.
