This is a great place for chinese food that is totally authentic. It is crowded with people who know authentic, its not fancy so it is not expensive. The food is amazing. It is not all totally spicy as the name might imply. They specialize in hotpots but try the Green onion pancake, Crispy Chicken in hot garlic sauce, fish in hot black bean sauce, dried cooked string bean and ma po tofu. they also have all the classics like Kung Pao, Broccoli Beef and black bean prawns. You will not be dissapointed. This is the only place that I like for takeout too.

I've stopped looking for a good Chinese restaurant because I've found my favorite. Even my friends who don't like Chinese food (because they normally think it's bland and boring) will suggest going to dinner at Seven Stars Peppers! The food here is anything but bland, though it can sometimes be one-note. Cumin lamb comes to mind, even though I still enjoyed it quite a lot. Seven Stars Peppers offers all the usual items that come to mind when you think of Chinese food, but they also offer many more options that only the Chinese families seem to order. (I always think that having a majority of Chinese customers is a pretty strong indication that they serve good Chinese food.) I've been coming here with regularity for over a year and still have only tried a small sampling of what's on the menu. They are cheap to boot. Ordering soup, an appetizer, and three main dishes will run you about $45. It's far more food than you can eat in one sitting, too. I tend to stick to my old standbys: crispy fish with string beans (or is it green beans), eggplant, mongolian beef, and spicy wontons. Their green onion pancake and house special crispy noodles are new favorites of mine. I also like their tofu dishes, but I have decided I do not like the bacon-like qualities of their twice-cooked pork. Sometimes we get the hot pot, which is a lot of food and fun because it's interactive. Reasons why they don't have a "perfect" rating: The menu, like those at most Chinese restaurants, names each dish in Chinese and English, but doesn't go into great detail about ingredients. Also, lately, the service at Seven Stars has gotten worse. It can take a while to get someone over to your table, but when the food is ready, it comes quickly and is delicious!

OK, maybe not seven stars, but I can say I'd easily make Seven Stars Peppers my meal every night for a week if I could afford it. To be perfectly honest, I may have almost hit that record a few times this year. The food is excellent, with a mild-to-moderate level of spice for szechuan food. The spicy won tons are on the hot side, as is the hot-and-sour soup (OK, maybe that was a given). Mongolian beef is supreme here, but I wouldn't pass up the crispy fish with string beans, eggplant in garlic sauce, or ung choy (not on the menu, so ask for this heavenly green). I'd stay away from the twice-cooked pork, though; it's like a bad cross between jerky and dinner meat. While I can't say much about the ambience, the food generally is served promptly--and eaten promptly as well.

I was at this restaurant last week for some hot pot. We had reservations at 7pm for 7 people. My friend arrived there first and as not seated. When I arrived, which was 10 minutes after 7, we were still waiting for our table. Apparently they made a mistake and gave our table to another party and didn't even apologized! We waited and asked them several times that we had reservations. A lady server gave us menus (after waiting for 15 minutes) and asked us if everybody from our party was present. Of course, being honest, we said no, but we have 5 here. The server then said, "your party is not here so you wait." We were like, "we can get seated and order, we already know what we want." She then left us! She didn't even seat. We have waited a total of 20 minutes now and finally a table was free and we were seated. Thank god we had another server. The lady before was very rude and she talked to us as if we were 5 years old! It was one of the worse experience ever! We sat down, ordered the 11.95/person hotpot buffet with the yin yang soup base (basically one side spicy and the other not). The food came quickly (which was made me feel a little about the restaurant) and we were stuffed. I thought the restaurant had redeemed itself with the food, however, I realized that I ordered a watermelon juice and that never came! Again, I was disappointed with the service. By the end of the meal was when I got attention of another waitress and finally got my juice. It took forever! All in all, the food is good, but they place is way crowded and the service was horrible. I know there's the saying that it's a Chinese restaurant, not fine dining, you can't expect much. While that may be true, I still didn't appreciate the tone of voice the woman was using when talking to us! There is no excuse for that! Although the food was good, I'm less inclined to come back because of the sour experience. Experience and good service is everything!
