This restaurant dedicated to serving Chengdu Sichuan, spicy traditional Chinese food, just expanded with its second location in Overton Square at the former Paulette's space. There's a reason that within the first year of opening their Cordova location, that they're already expanded–it's so good! The spicy pork (or chicken) dumplings, Dandan noodles, and Peony fried chicken are a must-orders. I am obsessed! A fun thing to point out is that this is a perfect spot for big groups.

A separate room has a live music stage with cool round tables. I stopped in for the happy hour and tried their basic burger for $7 and house chips & dip for $4.
