很多年前去过几次，那时候觉得还不错，不过当年在外面吃饭吃得少。不知现在会觉得如何。

2008年11月去中国领事馆，因为离得很近就顺便去那儿吃了顿饭。点了夫妻肺片和重庆辣子鸡，感觉非常一般，越到后来越觉得不好吃，比较失望。
看了一下网上的评价，好像它家有一些新派川菜，比如: 辣婆水煮魚, 血旺魚片, 泠鍋魚頭, 夫妻肺片魚, 麻辣酥皮蝦, 巴國土匪雞, 叫花血旺... 另外这个帖子推荐了这个店，可以参考一下。
我是不对它抱有太大希望，不过不排除以后去的可能性，特别是去领事馆的话。可以尝试一下它的新派川菜看看如何。

It typically has a long waiting line. Dinner starts at 5PM, so it is good to be there before 5PM to avoid waiting for too long.

It is in Soho area. The interesting part is that the lunch and 5-course dinner are prepared by FCI students. It is not cheap (e.g. five-course dinner, 8 p.m.—9 p.m., $42). See the review for more details. Menu is available online too.
