This Sichuan eatery, just off Kent St in Newmarket, was very popular with customers having steampot on a Friday evening when we visited. Instead of following the crowd, we decided to order from their a la cart menu. The most memorable dish was 毛血旺, a classic dish and a prime example of Sichuan cooking; well-known for its numbing spicy flavour🌶🌶, thick red soup & high nutritional value❣️
It was served with blood curd (usually duck or pig), luncheon meat, some form of intestine, bean sprouts, a lot of diced vegetables in a rich spicy broth - the pungency and the spiciness came from the liberal use of garlic, dried chili and Sichuan pepper😋. The star ingredient is of course the blood curd or some would like to call it “blood tofu” due to its silky smooth and tofu like texture. Blood curd is rich in protein, iron and a range of minerals. Such a hearty dish👍❗️
Absolutely love Sichuan food ❤️ and its hot and spicy flavour – just don’t forget to ask for mild spiciness if you don’t your stomach to burn through the night😝…
One of a casual Chinese restaurant in Newmarket. Foods quality are okay and big portions. Good for families or gathering with friends.
This place was an absolute staple from when I was frequenting newmarket. I never got to try much of the menu because I was always infatuated with the A10 lunch special.
Great flavor, relatively inexpensive, always an enjoyable experience. Portions and prices have fluctuated over time but it’s understandable for the ever increasing cost of living. I’ve probably had close to 50+ meals here, the majority of which shared with friends. This place will certainly be missed now that I’ve left Auckland.
Great place for Sichuan style meal. Hot pot is also available. Free customer car park in front. Surprisingly clean and brightly lit place for Chinese restaurant :). Very good value for money. Recommended +++
Sugar jelly, Spicy Beef & Kongbao Chicken. For two of us. Tasty food, warm serving and chill environment. Good option for your dinnings.
Excellent food, and a really good app for ordering. Quick and friendly service.
One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Auckland. They make really delicious Szechuan food but not costly at all. Have been here a lot of times and will definitely come back more haha. The picture is one of my favorites - hot pot fish.
The foods are delious and friendly service. However majority of the dishes are spicy, one good thing is you can choose how spicy u want.
Definitely will come back, great taste and very reasonable prices
The prices were reasonable. Plates are big. Suitable for sharing food with families.
Don’t taste as good as before. But still Okay.
Just awesome Sichuan Spicy Flavor...with a broad range of selections, and the Big Chicken Sharing plate is one of the best
Authentic sichuan-style Chinese food, can't go wrong if you enjoy spicy food. They also have a lunch special menu where a delicious meal only cost 15$ or less
Really nice restaurant with good Chinese food.
One of my favorite Chinese restaurant. Visit at least once a month. Love fired dish!
Authentic sichuan food

Will come back next time!
Used to come here all the time with the family several years ago. Tried the lunch menu yesterday, and it was delicious-the beef brisket noodles were very good. Will be heading back there again soon ❤️
Very good restaurant and I would definitely come again.
