Jianghu Cafe Jiāng Hú Cài Guǎn

Know what you are getting, this is a Szechuan place so if you're looking for the Americanized Chinese food this is not it. While I recommend the Dan Dan noodles and kung po chicken, a lot of stuff here (for me At least) is a hit or miss, a usual, I tried this, ate two bites and had something else for lunch instead. Maybe my pallet just isn't quite there for it. However that being said something about this place has me coming back to try more.

Brand new authentic Chinese food place. The food is very very good, not Americanized at all like the place it replaced in this location. All your favorite Sichuan dishes are here, plus they specialize in Chinese BBQ, or meat (and other things) grilled on skewers. Already busy with Chinese students in the know. Service will probably improve as they work out the kinks.

I saw this place after it replaced the older restaurant. Doesn 't look like much outside but it is very comfortable once you 're through the door. Credit card/NFT payments are preferred here, although they did find change the first time I went with cash. I was looking for the kung pao chicken someone had mentioned but I didn 't see it so I went with the standard Gen Tso benchmark just to get an idea of the place. Maybe it 's different for the more authentic menu items but extra spicy is not very spicy. Decent. I 'll try something else on the menu next time.

This is a new place that opened up in the location of a previous Chinese restaurant. The good part is they have a lot of authentic Chinese cuisine, but the flavors on some of the dishes just didn't do it for me. I absolutely loved the soy sauce mixed veg but was not a fan of the beef sour soup dish. They remodeled the inside and it looks so pretty! Unfortunately the outside of the restaurant is still in really bad shape, like horrendous. I honestly don't think city code enforcement has been there in eons! Which makes no sense how these places are open because it's required. That's all assumptions though! I just think the outside is bad and doesn't make me want to go and eat there. If you make it past that, you will love the interior. While I can't say I recommend coming here, I also can't recommend against it. You may find something you love after all!
