Delicious authentic Sichuan food in a no-frills atmosphere. Make sure to get an order of the pickled vegetables.
They have delivery, but I highly recommend eating in or picking it up yourself. Your food will be ready within 15 minutes of ordering, but delivery can take an hour or more sometimes. It's also BYOB

Great local spot with separate paleo and gluten-free menus. It gets really crowded, so if you go at a popular time you might have to wait for a table. There's a full bar though, so you can grab a drink and peruse the huge menu while you wait. They also serve a great brunch.
