A decent place for Chinese food in Boulder. The taste and flavor have been optimized between the original Chinese style and what an ordinary American customer will like.

Very friendly staff, lots of great Sichuan options like the hot pot beef stew and Sichuan string beans. The best Chinese I've had in the state by far. I like to come here after a long day for a pick-me-up!
