" I'm a huge fan of spicy food, and Blue Willow did not disappoint! I enjoyed their amazing spicy wontons and their specialty noodles—both were bursting with satisfying flavors. The atmosphere was vibrant and engaging, perfect for a group outing. Service was friendly, albeit a bit slow, but my party and I didn't mind as we were enjoying the environment. Parking can be tricky around the area, but the food is worth the hassle! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Blue Willow, I finally made it there recently. The place was busy, but I found a nice spot at the bar. The drinks were interesting, and the food came out fast, though I found the flavor a bit muted compared to what I expected. The Kung Pao chicken didn’t have the crunch I enjoy. I would probably give it another chance, but the experience fell short of my high expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Blue Willow was fantastic, especially for a night out with friends! We shared a variety of dishes including spicy cauliflower, fried rice, and their famous dumplings. Everything was flavorful! The highlight was the spicy wontons. I think this place captures great Hunan cuisine. Service was prompt, and the drinks were creative. I definitely see myself coming back for another visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" The dishes I tried at Blue Willow were delicious but some were surprisingly on the mild side for Szechuan food. The service was nice, and yet it took a little longer than I expected for our orders to be taken. Overall an enjoyable experience, but I believe they can ensure more consistent flavor profiles in their dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Blue Willow and the atmosphere was lovely. My friends and I tried various dishes to share, and while some were outstanding, a couple fell a bit short on flavor. The Peking Duck was disappointing as it was served in a way that didn’t meet expectations based on what I know. The service was attentive which added positive notes to the evening despite some culinary critiques. It’s a charming spot that I hope to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" The flavors at Blue Willow were on point, particularly in the spicy tofu dish. Although I had to wait a bit for seating, it was worth it when I finally dug into the food. It’s not the best experience I’ve had, but it’s a solid choice if you want something authentic! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Blue Willow recently. The food had a nice spicy kick, with the Mapo tofu standing out for its rich flavor! I loved the gallery, and service was efficiently handled. The only downside was a slightly prolonged wait for our drinks to arrive, but otherwise, I’d highly recommend this restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)
