After coming back after several years, it was like returning to a home cooked meal. The servers were so friendly and kind. They took our order and it seemed like the dishes showed up only 5 min later. Are there magic elves working in the kitchen??? Highly recommend the following:Water cooked fish - fillets of tender white fish floating in a broth covered in ruby chili oil. If you like a little warm ma la heat, don't let the oil scare you. This fish is addicting!Cumin Fish - I also can't get enough of this deep fried, flavor bomb. Its aromas arrive in your brain before your taste buds get titillated. Enjoy the melody of crunchy exterior, tender fish, and spice-ful flavors. Green Beans - if you're listening to your mom and eating your veggies, this dish is savory with a little heat and a little sweet. Combination fried rice - crowd pleaser!

One of my new favorite spots for authentic, delicious Szechuan/Chinese food!! Whenever I crave it, I drive over an hour to eat here -- worth it!Inside is a smaller, simple setting for some spicy dishes! Cumin Fish 11/10- light, crispy outside and flaky inside- comes with onion, bell pepper, and pepper - has a spicy kick to it (but not too spicy for me) - my favorite dish!Pork with String Bean 9/10- flavorful string beans with ground porkMapo Tofu 8/10- blocks of delicious tofu with ground pork - not spicy at all (at least to me) Chicken 9/10- crispy as well! - cumin fish is still the winnerBeef with Bitter Melon- I won't rate since I'm not a fan of bitter melon, but the beef was tender! Service was super quick! We got our food in less than 10 mins, and they were very welcoming!

Staff were very kind and the food was delicious!! I ordered the cashew chicken and it was amazing, but watching my family it seemed like the lo mein was the real winner. Portions are very big and are reasonably priced. Will be returning!!!!

One million stars - we used to go here once a week when we lived in Arlington, but we haven't been in 6 years since we moved. We stopped back on our way home from DC yesterday and this place is simply the best Chinese food anywhere and I used to live near ChinaTown NYC. Astonishing good food. Try the cumin flounder or Dan Dan noodles

Love this place and have for many years. Favorite dishes include Stuffed Pepper Chicken, Cumin Fish, and the MaPo Tofu. Many other delicious dishes as well. Though "Hong Kong" implies Cantonese food, this is a Szechuan kitchen. If you look for 'Americanized Chinese Food", you may be disappointed. This food is by Chinese for Chinese (and their friends).

By far the best Chinese food I've ever had. I've been to China, the food here is so similar to the unique Sichuan spices we encountered there. Dan dan noodles, egg plant and green beans are amazing.

My go to spot for authentic Chinese takeout in the Arlington area. Being located next to the OG Padaek location, it's always a toss up as to which restaurant I will end up in. Items to get: - Fries chicken with dried chili peppers: SPICY but very delicious (and self explanatory). You will find yourself picking through the peppers for every last morsel of chicken - Fish and bean curd with spicy sauce: huge chunks of white fish stewed in a Szechuan style sauce with equally huge chunks of tofu that soak up all the spicy goodness- Cumin lamb: super seasoned and well-cooked lamb with a variety of tasty vegetables If you order online, there's also some dope freebies you can get for exceeding a certain $ amount orderBasically, the epitome of the 3.5 star Chinese takeout rule - go for the authentic dishes only

Haven't been here in a long time but tried it again on the Chinese New Year. Food was very good and the staff very friendly. Started with hot and sour soup and dumplings. Moved on to Kung Pao Chicken and General Tsao chicken. Everything was excellent and can't wait to go back.

Came back again and another great meal. Ordered fried chicken w/ hot peppers, fish filet tofu w/ spicy sauce, dan dan noodles, scallion pancake, and salt pepper pork chop. The chicken, noodles, and fish I've ordered before and all very good. The fish in particular is a really big portion that can be shared by up to 4 people easily. Pork chops were also very good and a pretty good serving to share. Pancake was just OK, and very little scallions. Service is pretty good here, totally shaming most other Chinese places.

Great service with friendly staff, one of the best authentic Szechuan restaurants in the area with generous portion sizes and reasonable prices. You can't beat the flavor. Food came out very quickly and waitress was attentive. Would definitely come again!
