Met up with friends here for dinner.
They do have a small bar. The selection is fairly limited.
Had some communication gap with the waitress that we got when we were trying to order. She ended up messing up on the soup dumpling that we wanted, and brought us a small bowl of wonton instead… When the soup dumplings finally came out toward the very end of the meal, they were just meh. The size of the dumplings was small, and the skin was also fairly thick.
The highlight of the meal was actually the chili fish for me. They fish was cooked in a ton of chili and came served on top of napa cabbage. It with a type of oil/broth sauce that would make you want to ask for more rice. Overall, it was not really too spicy considering how red the dish looked.
The snow pea sprout was also cooked very nicely. However, this is a fairly common dish and you can get it the same way in most other Chinese restaurants. Some of my friends preferred the eggplant in garlic sauce because it went very well with rice.
May come back to try some of the other dishes, but will definitely do without the soup dumpling on any future visits. Hope I don't have to deal with the same waitress next time either…
I really wanted to fall in love with this place but it just didn't do it for me. On a Saturday night, I was seated promptly and was given complimentary hot tea. The menu is very large, some pictures included, but you don't really know what you're getting because its not detailed.
So let's begin… I ordered the crystal shrimp dumplings, diced rabbit with chili sauce and camphor spicy chicken. The crystal shrimp dumplings were decent but a bit sticky with 1 mini shrimp inside each. The diced rabbit was spicy, filled with tons of bones, it felt like I was eating the scraps that they didn't want to give for the rabbit entrees, instead give it for the appetizer not to waste any food which included peanuts and scallions. If it wasn't for all those bones it would have been very enjoyable. The camphor chicken was spicy, diced and crispy. That also had peanuts, scallions and peppers. It was flavorful but on the dry side. Mind you, the menu did not include peanuts on any of the dishes ordered which is a HUGE no no considering so many people are allergic to peanuts nowadays. I do hope they change that because if I was allergic, I would have returned everything I ordered.
Service here really turned me off. I felt rushed and a hawk was staring at me the whole time to finish up my food. It is a small restaurant so you really don't get to enjoy yourself because they just want to turn around tables and make as much money as possible. Immediately once I was done with my food, we got the check with orange slices. I wanted dessert but when you want me out so bad I will not put money in your restaurant. Once the bill was all signed for, the server came and grabbed it, no thank you no nothing. By this point, I was annoyed and got up to put my jacket on. While I was putting it on, he stood in my way to clean the table, just so rude and no consideration for guests whatsoever. I might give them a try again but it's really hard to say..
They are overrated and over priced. Even with the NY location being michelin rated, not worth it.
Some chicken dishes are good but expect it to be very spicy. Scallion pancakes are very good too, crispy.
The soup dumplings are also good but may not be on the menu. These are better in the restaurant fresh.
They deliver but once forgot some of my order. I ended up driving back to get it.
I want to update this review because the last few times I have been here the service was much better and on par with the delicious food. A solid 4 stars.
Love the soup dumplings!!
Finally got a chance to go back. What the!? I wish the selections had explanations on the menu; not everyone that eats their food is from the region. Ordered old country style chicken cheng qing and was served $20 worth of bones. Whoever thought chopping up chicken bones into tiny pieces with little to no edible meat on it was going to fly needs to reconsider their career. Waste of money, not sure I'd reconsider going back even knowing it's pretty legit Sichuan cuisine.
Lansheng offers up authentic Chinese food in a classy atmosphere. The dining room is small, so I would suggest making a reservation if you have a larger party or are visiting on a weekend evening. On my two visits, I've enjoyed the scallion pancakes (so light and flaky), soup dumplings (fresh to order and bursting with the savory broth filling), and moo shu pork (potent plum sauce and crispy veggies with tons of pork). I'd highly recommend it. The restaurant offers a large menu with many options. My friends have tried some of the spicy dishes and while they have enjoyed them, the spice is serious! I'll return to try more of the menu soon!
Finally a decent Chinese restaurant nearby! I've only been going to Chengdu 23 but the 80 traffic gets out of hand sometimes. I came for a weeknight dinner and ordered dan dan noodle. It was as good as it could get, but I wish they served it in a slightly larger bowl. It was quite a challenge trying to mix the noodle with the sauce that stays on the bottom. Service was good and quick. Prices are very reasonable too.
Oh yeah.. yummy indeed.
I ordered via Yelp's Delivery app. Easy to browse and select items from menu. I was able to pre-order before restaurant is open. I guess the order goes into a queue somewhere and its picked up later.
Restaurant calls to verify my delivery address and food arrives shortly. All is good.
I had their ma-po tofu and it is yummy. Not exactly the same ma-po tofu, as this one has the cumin and Szechuan flavors. Seems to be vegetarian as well. Kinda greasy , but most mapo tufo is greasy anyway.
Looking at their menu, I may just make a trip to the restaurant for dinner.
