It's the 2nd time we've been and it's a good enough option, but our server was a little grumpy and preoccupied (the others weren't) and one of the dishes was pretty bland It's still a fine option but definitely wouldn't say it's the best Chinese in USA

The food was awesome, but the waiter never returned to ask if we needed anything or to refill our glasses. But all in all the food was delicious and it over shadowed the lack of service.

Not true szechuan, rather down-played for non-asians. Two chili peppers was not even spicy. We went back for dinner and told them to fix it like their Chinatown location and it was still mild. Why would you go to eat szechuan if it tastes like Cantonese? I'll never go back!

My fourth visit to this location. I had been to the Chinatown location many times in the past and it never failed. I'm happy to say that the North Mich location is matching the magic of its creator. Authentic Szechuan, consistent quality. We had great service.
