    A very Szechuan forward restaurant! Their indoor was dimly lit with a nice ambience for intimate dining. More of a narrow, long space but big enough to fit an out 10-12 smaller parties. We ordered multiple dishes to share including stir fried eggplant, salted egg mapo tofu, cold cut chicken, Dan Dan noodles, wanzhou grilled fish, and the husband and wife's special with beef flank and tripe. My top dishes would be the egg plant and the salted egg mapo tofu! Egg plant was perfectly cooked and garlicky. It was a nice change from the Szechuan flavors as was the salted egg yolk. Mild salted egg flavors embodied this different mapo tofu dish. It also came with shrimp rather than minced meat. The flavors were savory and light with a thickened sauce. Recommend getting rice! The dan fan noodles were also delicious but felt the portions were small and not very peanut-y. The chicken wasn't anything too special - clean tasting. The wanzhou grilled fish and the husband and wife's special were saturated in Szechuan pepper oil and peppercorns. The beef flank and tripe was good! But I would've preferred my fish not to be drenched. It was delicious and had all the numbing spices but it got a little bit overpowering towards the end. Breeze is worth trying especially if you love Szechuan!

    cheers!

    went here for dinner the other night and im kind of obsessed with this spot. there was so much we wanted to order which just means ill definitely be back. we got the chicken mushroom soup dumplings, bok choy, wanzhou grilled fish for two, and the tea smoked duck buns, everything was delicious. i do wish we added a cold side as a palate cleanser so id recommend that. our waiter was really helpful and patient especially since we were stuck between so many options and gave great recommendations. we also got the Juno and Juju cocktails, both were good but Juno was my favorite. the space feels very NYC with an elevated Sichuan vibe and really cool art on the walls. perfect for a date night, group dinner, or even a nice dinner with your parents.

    Hip restaurant that serves classic sichuanese food. The vibe is pretty convivial, not too loud but a good place to hang and stuff your face full of Chinese food. The food here is pretty typical Sichuan (with some additional variety thrown in). I thought the food was pretty good. There's a good amount of heat in what I ate. There's tea-smoked duck was delicious and the diced chicken with chili pepper was a solid rendition. Overall it's a solid spot. I'd like to revisit some day to try to compare to some of its competition.

    Sichuan Cold Noodle
    Joyce K.

    I've recently been really into Sichuan food, so my friend suggested we check out this spot in Brooklyn. It didn't disappoint! Perfect for sharing, we tried an assortment of dishes including: - Sichuan cold noodle - actually one of my faves, the flavor hit so well! - Tea smoked duck - delicate and great flavor, but small portion for price - Scallion pancake- perfectly flaky and crunchy with great side sauce - Tomato curry with egg tofu - comforting, delicious, exceeded our expectations - Garlic eggplant - solid but probably the least special of the dishes - Chicken - I sadly can't find the name of this dish but it's in the photos, the chicken was sliced very thinly and paired with a yummy fresh tasting vegetable - would recommend! Great service and modern, clean ambiance. Will definitely be back!

    Fresh Meet Peach and Summer Breeze

    Breeze provides an slightly upscale but relaxing atmosphere. Enjoyable music and not too loud. Came in for cocktails and had a great time! The cocktail menu lists several tea-infused choices but alas, I'll have to come earlier another day to try. Drinks - I ordered the Summer Breeze and my friend got the Fresh Meet Peach. Summer Breeze was light and refreshing, consisting some of my favorite ingredients - St. Germaine and yuzu, mixed with hibiscus-infused gin, and Aperol. We stayed for a second drink and I got the Winter Frost #2 (mocktail version) made with winter melon tea. I had imagined this to be extra sweet but it was well-balanced, and the aftertaste left a fuzzy feeling. Although we didn't sit for a full meal, the two small dishes we ordered were delicious. Thousand-Year Egg and Tofu Rolls - delicate to eat unless you managed to eat it in one bite. The end result was a spicy, savory, pungent taste with the cucumber slice to lighten the combination. Soup dumplings - also delicate, the skin was so thin, and the pork juices were overflowing. Great place for dates, or to catch up with friends.

    Fresh Meet Peach
    Rina D.

    Definitely keeping this place bookmarked for good service, lovely ambiance, and yummy food! Everything was so yummy and the portion size was generous as well. I was skeptical to order the "typical dishes" like the cucumber, scallion pancakes, and mapo tofu, but they all exceeded my expectations. I especially liked the scallion pancakes as they were not just thin, oily pancakes but had great texture and flavor! Do come for happy hour for a discount on their cocktail, Fresh Meet Peach, if you like tea-based cocktails! The jasmine tea was fragrant and both my friend and I sipped it so fast and got another one. I will definitely come back here but also recommend for friends living in the area/LIC!! We were the only ones when we walked in for our table at 5:30pm on a Monday but it soon got busy and was loud and crowded.

    This is a low key Sichuan restaurant with highly attentive staff and refreshing cocktails. The inside is relatively small but airy. The pork soup dumplings were delicious. The scallion pancakes were light and crisp. The diced chicken with hot chili peppers was very spicy as expected. The mapo tofu was more salty than I'm used to. The hibiscus tea infused summer breeze cocktail was very unique and refreshing. The prices were very reasonable.

    Tea-smoked Duck
    Jane L.

    Breeze offers a modern vibe on Szechuan classics - a welcome addition to Manhattan Ave. Their cocktails are 10/10 - I ordered the Fresh Meet Peach, which was refreshing on a sweltering summer day. We started with the pork soup dumplings, wonton in chili sauce, and Dan Dan noodles - my go-tos at any Szechuan restaurant. Had good flavor, they could have gone a little heavier on the Szechuan peppers, as it wasn't as numbing as expected. Ordered the tea-smoked duck to share - leaner and has a subtler flavor than Peking Duck, plus they give a lot of meat for the amount of buns you get. Overall, service was excellent - it's a great spot for dinner if you're in the area.

    xiao long bao
    Samantha W.

    Such a delicious meal! I grew up eating dim sum, so Breeze's menu felt like a warm hug from home. We got a bunch of dim sum dishes and a few other dishes. Dim sum: xiao long bao, har gow, and shumai. Everything was delicious! My only complaint is that dim sum should not be this expensive, but (1) it's Brooklyn, and (2) the super cozy interior and dining experience is all a part of that price tag. Sides/mains: chili wonton, dan dan noodle, tomato curry. The standouts for me were the dan dan noodles and tomato curry. The noodles had a great texture and were packed with so much savory flavor. The tomato curry was also so flavorful, yet light, and I loved the addition of tofu and enoki mushrooms. Both of those textures went so well with the curry. Drinks: peach tea cocktails. So delicious! Whenever I get a "tea" based cocktail, I can almost never taste the tea, but this cocktail was deliciously tea-forward! It was so smooth and refreshing, and the perfect amount of sweet. They also have a great HH deal on drinks :)

    Pumpkin glutinous rice cake

    I came here for dinner one evening and had an amazing time! The interior of Breeze is intimate and a bit romantic, good for a date night (or even a good dinner with friends). The space is a bit small, so I recommend reservations if you can! My friend and I got their mouth-watering chicken, cucumber salad, chili wontons, diced chicken with Sichuan peppercorn, tea-smoked duck, and pumpkin glutinous rice cakes. Everything was so delicious. I loved the cold chicken dish to start our meal and the cucumber salad was light and refreshing. The chili wontons and diced chicken were packed with flavor. I wasn't honestly the biggest fan of the smoked duck, but I think that was more personal preference (still an amazing dish!). And, the pumpkin glutinous rice cakes were a good, filling way to end the meal with a treat that wasn't too sweet. Good Sichuan spot!

    What a beautiful spot! It is really quite cozy in here and I was excited by the menu options. My friends and I shared a lot of dishes and our favorites had to be the bok choy and mushroom dish as well as the century egg dish. I thought they did exceptional on their vegetable dishes here. I cannot really comment on the spicy foods as I don't have a high tolerance for spice but from what I heard, it's delicious! I was excited for the crab egg tofu dish but it was lacking a bit of oomph for me. It was also quite salty. Visually it's beautiful but it did not meet my expectations in terms of flavor. It was nearly there I think but that also may just be personal preference perhaps. I do also wish some small bowls could be provided as it's difficult to scoop on a plate. I loved the scallion pancakes here and the Dan Dan noodles. It had a nice kick to it! The staff are also really kind and patient here. I accidentally broke a sake bottle I had with me and the staff immediately cleaned it up and provided me with 2 extra bags to carry my non broken bottle. Shout out to them and apologies again! Overall it's a great spot to be with friends or loved ones and there are great vibes here. I would definitely come back again for the vegetable dishes and century egg!

    Breeze is a good, affordable lunch spot when you're craving some Szechuan food. Overall, each lunch meal comes with a cold side (radish, beancurd), main, and white rice for under $20. We got the salted egg yolk tofu, dry baby rib with potato slices, and mapo tofu. The egg yolk tofu was the best of the three dishes and had a nice balance between the crab roe flavor and silky tofu texture. The baby ribs were a bit oily for my liking and the mapo tofu wasn't anything special. The place wasn't packed which was nice for a slow paced afternoon.

My only gripe was that there were some small end pieces. I wish we had some bigger pieces of meat. The fried tofu was done well. They put some corn starch underneath each piece of shrimp so the shrimp will stay on top. It was not always cook through, so that was unpleasant. The snow pea shots were cooked well and it was a massive portion. We also have pan fried noodles with seafood. The portions were huge and we have leftovers for the next day. With tip it was around $125, which is a great deal for this meal.

    Note: This is a less detailed review than normal, as we ordered a ton of food from the AYCE menu,…read moreas can be seen from the photos Anyway, I've been back to this tasty Chinese place twice since my first review, with the second one being a very similar meal. The most recent time, I was here for their dim sum brunch, which is either $36 for AYCE plus $2 for tea, or they price each thing individually. It was a bit annoying that the tea was not included, but at least both the Oolong and Chrysanthemum teas were good quality and readily filled. Service in general was pretty fast and frequently checked on our large semi- private table to see if we needed anything else to order or more tea. The dim sum selection is a bit smaller than many of the traditional dim sum spots, but the overall quality was excellent, with a couple of definite highlights and some more unique dishes such as dumplings with pickled shrimp, crawfish, or Taizhou rice along with Ningbo wontons. In general, I would say that the wrappers were properly thin and everything was filled generously. The aforementioned Pickled Pepper Shrimp Dumplings were one of the highlights. The slightly spicy and sour pickles made it taste very light and paired nicely with the plump shrimp. In terms of other shrimp dim sum, their version of Har Gow/Crystal Shrimp Dumplings included a little bit of sweet crab for an extra touch. It was also tasty. I also liked the Ningbo wontons, filled with a variety of ingredients including minced pork, dried shrimp, yard long beans, pickled vegetables, bamboo shoots, and others. It had a wonderful mix of textures with some interesting crunchy notes. Another unique option mentioned is their Crawfish Dumplings, which are very noticeable compared to the other dumplings due to their bright red color. I appreciated the spiciness but found these a tad fishy with a thicker wrapper than most, but others loved these and ordered more. For more standard dumplings, their Xiao Long Bao/XLB were pretty good, and they had a tasty version of Sticky Rice Pork Siu Mai. The Baked Pork Buns were good as they were not too sticky sweet. Finally, there was a decent version of Pork Dumplings in Chili Oil. Non-dumpling highlights included their excellent turnip cakes along with steamed spare ribs, chicken feet, and a particularly tasty version of steamed beef tripe with satay sauce. I would skip the Beef Short Ribs With Black Pepper, which had good flavor but was way too chewy. I know someone else ordered the spring rolls, but I don't remember trying them. They also apparently now have a Ningbo speciality called Shi Bing Tong, but I don't remember ordering it. Someone else got their simple and tasty porridge/congee, only available traditionally with pork and century eggs, and enjoyed it. I tried a bit, and it was indeed good. Desserts included a tasty Crispy Durian Pastry, alright Sesame Balls, a good Pineapple Bun/Bolo Bao, and Custard Buns, which everyone loved, but they had a cuttlefish ink shine, so I couldn't try them. This is a fantastic, reasonably priced AYCE Dim Sum. Would recommend it if they still offer this deal.

Flavor matched the presentation too. Service was solid overall, no real issues there. The only downside was with a deal they were advertising ("3 for $33"). It was shown on their website and even posted outside the restaurant, which was actually one of the main reasons we chose the spot. When we tried to use it, we were told they weren't honoring it that night and that the deal had been causing them to lose money. I understand adjusting pricing if something isn't working, but if that's the case, the promotion should be removed or clearly communicated ahead of time. Having it still advertised and then not honoring it was frustrating and took away from the experience.
