They have tables for large parties downstairs. Overall the food was tasty and came out quickly. Most of the dishes weren't overly spicy. The spiciest, numbing dish we got was probably the spicy hot pot. The vegetables were delicious, like the water spinach, pea shoots, and garlic smashed cucumbers. The sour fish soup wasn't overly acidic like other places. Portions are large and great for sharing family style. A dish that I haven't seen at other restaurants is salted egg yolk tofu. It was very good here. read more

The food here was so good. If you're looking for something spicy, this will give you that for sure. My friends and I ordered the pork with garlic sauce, mapo tofu, and green pepper fish dishes. The pork with garlic sauce was absolutely delicious. This one isn't spicy so it didn't numb the mouth. The mapo tofu was also delicious and a little spicier but still not numbing the mouth. Def better to have it with rice though. The green pepper fish was mouth numbing and honestly I couldn't taste much of the flavor because the combination of spice and the hot temperature of the food was overbearing for me. So if you're like me and can tolerate some spicy but not numbing spicy then I would recommend telling them less spicy. Portions were perfect for 5 people (3 males and 2 females) as we ordered 2 of the pork with garlic sauce, 2 mapo tofus, and 1 big green pepper fish dish. We went on a Saturday at 5:30pm so it wasn't too crowded. Overall delicious and the staff were all friendly and very attentive in filling up our water for our spicy meal. (mapo tofu not shown as we were too hungry) read more

A great meal with excellent service. First off, the staff is super efficient and attentive. They were slammed on a Saturday but the staff was hard at work flying around. Offered suggestions when we were ordering, constantly refilling our water, and adding dishes or removing plates to create room. They even help serve the family style entrees when it arrives. Everything was delicious from the creamy, umami silken tofu with shrimp topped with salted egg yolk. It was rich and decadent and delicate all at once. The fish fillet dry pot was huge and more than enough for 3-4 to share. The sliced cold beef dish was surprisingly refreshing compared to the heat of the hot dishes. I didn't get a picture but the stir fry cabbage was delish. Perfect if you are a vegetarian. read more

We came as a group of 6 for dinner and wanted to try this place. We ordered quite a lot of food and they were all delicious! I think this place is good for those who can handle spice, but there are dishes that are non spicy. I would definitely come back here again some other day! read more

My favorite place for Sichuan food. They are always consistent, service is quick and the place is spacious and clean. Great for group dinners and larger groups as well since they have a basement with rooms for more seating. Favorites: cabbage, sour beef, pork belly in garlic sauce appetizer, salted egg yolk tofu, cauliflower Skip: crunchy fish - the texture is weird and it tastes like rubber read more

Very large portions. Would def come with friends. Boiled fish was good, spicy, and numbing. Make sure you know how to eat fish with bones. Loved the green beans. Staff was nice and gave recs about the menu read more

Quite solid for Sichuan food. I tried the mapo tofu (made vegetarian) and the Sichuan pickled cabbage. The cabbage was lightly pickled, a bit sweet, and tossed in a fragrant chili oil. The mapo tofu was spicy and very numbing, with soft tofu and a rich and savory base. The portion sizes are large and everything was very reasonably priced. read more

Everything was delicious. Great place for large groups too. Came in for a group of 8 on saturday lunch and was immediately seated. The only dish I did not like was the fish dry pot which had very crunchy, cartilage type fish - which is not my personal favorite. I also prefer regular mapo tofu over the egg one but it was good for try. read more

Food here is amazing. Full of flavor and portions are good for sharing and pairs so well with rice! My favorite was definitely the mala duck blood and the chongqing sour fish! Spice level is definitely there so be prepared with glasses of water! The spicy cold noodles with cucumber were also really good, one of the best I've had in a restaurant! read more

Great casual place to stop by for spicy food. This restaurant can get really busy so make sure you make a reservation as they only have a handful of tables upstairs and downstairs. We had the Dan Dan noodles, chengdu spicy wonton, hot spicy fish, and the water cooked spicy beef. The fish was nicely fried and tossed with some vegetables. The beef was really spicy and flavorful, and the portion was nicely sized. We asked for less spicy and I was shocked by how spicy the dishes were still! The Dan Dan was standard and the wontons could have used more sauce and less chili oil. Service was great and staff were great with filling the water. If you check in on Yelp you get a free dessert, a cold jelly with some nuts, seeds and raisins. It had a little medicinal taste to me, but my parents enjoyed it. read more

It was a very bad experience. two of which were very bad and very salty.they didn't redo it or change the dishes for us. When I arrived, I bought a single discount. I didn't eat two dishes for 100 dollars. read more

Service was attentive and the staff was wonderful! However, everything that we ordered was wayyyyy too salty except the sweet and sour chicken in a pineapple. The mala pot was way saltier than I've had in other places. The cold beef and tendon dish was also on the saltier side. The cumin lamb was pretty good but hard to taste after eating the mala pot. The mapo tofu was mid. Basically, things were so salty that you had to eat a lot of rice with it or drink a lot of fluids with it. At the end you are stuffed but not in a good satisfying way. People with high blood pressure, stay far away! That being said, even healthy people should not be eating this salty! Reply to owner: Thanks for the reply! Hopefully the food will be less salty the next time I visit as I do like being able to enjoy my food. If not, I'll make sure to let the staff know and to remake. The good thing is that I have leftovers for a week now! The flavor of each dish is so bold that I can only eat a little bit of it at a time with a lot of rice and bland vegetables. read more

A restaurant I always find myself going back to! My family and I's go to when we want good spicy food. Have been here more than a handful of times and their food and service is always consistent. Menu is huge and has everything under the sun. The spicy chicken, sizzling green beans, pork with garlic sauce and the tea tree mushrooms are musts! The restaurant is cozy and great for big groups. Definitely a must try if you're in the sunset park area! read more

One of the tastiest Chinese I've ever had in New York. We had a private room walk-in downstairs for a group of 9 Sunday around 5. Every dish was delicious and tasted different from each other. We started with hand-pulled dumplings. Then Mala cold noodles, recommended in the review on their door. Sour fish soup - also had glass noodles. Chicken with red peppers. King pap chicken. Mushrooms. Greens. MaPo Tofu - had an orangey flavor. Cucumber was also delicious. Not one bad dish. Over $100 bill, you get a free sake. read more

came back after a couple years, the food at this place is still outstanding. they have very big menu with a lot of selections, very authentic Sichuan cuisine. the spicy lamb shank is a bomb, super flavorful with two shanks fulled apart. the spicy pot fish is just alright, wish there are more fish in the pot. Service was great and the price is decent compares to the city. read more

I am back here once again to remind people of this amazing neighborhood restaurant that continues to consistently dish out some of the most delectable meals I have ever had. I dined here again a few days ago. This place is my go to spot to impress my friends and showcase all the amazing culinary experiences. Sunset Park has to offer. The Mapo tofu here is still super outstanding. The cucumber salad is absolutely delicious with wonderful balance of flavors. The green tea is served piping hot. Service is top-notch and they are so thoughtful and considerate. The way they pack leftovers is a professional art worthy of study. I tried the fish fillet dish and it comes with so many vegetables on a bed of hand pulled noodles and the most delicious broth. They are super mindful of my no pork preference. There's always ample amount of seating although this time I did notice that it was a little cold in the dining area, something maybe they could improve for a better experience. read more

Have been here many times with friends and family. Great place for a group dinner with reasonable prices and good portions. Some of my faves are the sour beef soup, griddle cabbage, and salted egg yolk tofu. Service is quick and the food comes pretty fast. If you check in on yelp, you get a free bing fen. The waiters are super nice and often give us extra portions of the bing fen. read more

Service was great. Food was great. Would keep coming back. Recommend making reservation

A fantastic Sichuan spot, though a bit on the pricey side. Their use of spices is excellent, and every dish carries that signature wok hei -- the smoky, aromatic flavor that defines great Chinese cooking. You really notice it in their veggies, stir-fried beef, and fried rice, where each bite is packed with that irresistible charred fragrance. The spicy lamb dish is one of their most unique offerings, though I've noticed they've toned down the heat over the past year, making it a bit less addictive. The flaming beef ribs look impressive but fall short on flavor, with the torch presentation adding more flair than taste. Overall, still a great place worth visiting read more

This place is absolutely delicious if you love Szechuan flavors. The spice, the Mala, the aromas, the taste is all PERFECT. I can't recommend this place enough. Although it is a little pricey, it is definitely worth it The sour soup with beef slices is perfect for a rainy day. It is spicy, sour, and full of delicious flavor. There are a lot of beef slices to go around as well The cauliflower was my biggest surprise. It was DELICIOUS. Perfectly seasoned, perfect texture, perfect spice level. It was so addicting and I still think about this dish to this day Finally, the hot spicy fish fillet. Outside is perfectly crispy and inside is perfectly delicious. I just love all the seasonings used. You literally can't go wrong with any of these dishes Make sure to get some rice to eat all this up with. I will definitely be back as well read more

味道不错。dandan面也可以 但是面我还是喜欢有嚼劲一点。 份量很足。龙抄手很好吃，味道很棒。 包菜也很好吃。很隆重的摆盘。回锅肉很一般，不是五花肉 吗，感觉是火锅五花肉。服务态度很好很温馨。 Good flavor on the wonton chili oil dish, our fav. Dan dan noodle texture was just ok, i wanted to love it but i only just like it. Cabbage dish was fancy nd very tasty. Things got oily quick nd was only good when it's fresh out and hot. Double cooked pork was deceiving, as the pork was hotpot pork nd not thick cut pork belly. Overall, i would come for meat and rice. Great staff and service i felt very welcomed. read more

I don't have a huge spice tolerance but this place is worth it! The sauce they use for the dumplings is addictive. We kept the sauce to dip the shredded potato. We asked for the least amount of spicy in our fish and it was a tolerable amount of spice. We also ordered the salted egg yolk tofu and it paired so well with rice. The portions were pretty big.

I just ordered my two favorite dishes for delivery via postmates. I opened the second dish, the chengdu dandan noodles with beef and it is all noodle no beef. I lie there is a sprinkle of ground beef. Literally less than a teaspoon on the top. I stare at it thinking no way. I move the noodles thinking maybe the beef is under the noodles. Nope! I try to complain to postmates and it won't let me properly describe the issue. AND of course the store is closed. You know is this day of everything being expensive I don't appreciate placing an order only to get said order with half a teaspoon of one of the ingredients. read more

A trek from Manhattan, but quite a gem! Chuan Tian Xia serves some mighty tasty and authentic Sichuan food in NYC's third Chinatown (after Manhattan and Flushing). Over several visits here, I haven't encountered a single dish that's a miss. The mao xue wang is one of the best renditions I've had in NYC. The lamb leg, chili oil wontons, beef short rib, and spicy stir fried fish fillet are all great. Service is quick, portions are large, and it's reasonably priced. You definitely should visit if you're in the area! read more

This place really slaps! I'd highly recommend dining in as you get a free cold jelly dessert if you check in, and also deliciously seasoned and toasted peanuts as a free appetizer. We ordered their version of a dry pot and the seasonings and flavors were authentic and balanced. All the ingredients were fresh, and cook was excellent (nothing was over or under cooked). Interior was cutely decorated with a modern yet traditional Chinese aesthetic, and service was kind and efficient. There's seatings both on the ground floor and basement - highly recommend! read more

Went back last Friday when I returned to visit my brother in Bay Ridge. Ate in person this time around and it was fantastic! Got there right at six and it was almost empty. It's a relaxing space with oddly huge tables (perhaps to lay out the feast that awaits you). Service was also really prompt and friendly too (and dishes came out really quickly). As to the food: 1. Free dish of spicy peanuts -- amazing!; 2. Cucumber honey water -- delicious and refreshing; 3. Sichuan pickles -- not too spicy but very good and a large portion; 4. Griddled okra -- really tasty and savory, though a few pods were really tough And 5. Chongqing chicken -- mind blowing good, best version I've ever had. Not too spicy but tons of peppercorns. Didn't skimp on the chicken either So happy I tried this place in person -- I recommend schlepping out to Sunset Park for this feast! read more

Pricey, but enjoyable experience! More like a 3.5 for the overall food. Grilled Grouper: chose mild for spice and it was good enough. The fish is deep fried first before placing it in this huge tray of oil, chili peppers, bean sprouts, lotus root, noodles and kelp knots. While the fish is quite soft and cooked well, this grouper was definitely on the smaller end for the price ($53) - among three people, there was only enough for a simple tasting. I do enjoy this type of Szechuan style fish, so I would definitely get it again somewhere else, as they're also not very generous with the toppings here. I really loved the wide clear (potato?) noodles included tho yummm Chongqing Spicy Chicken: more chili peppers than chicken! The dish that killed my party as they were scooping peppercorns and chilis with their chicken as one bite. It's very mala spicy, though not initially at first. Not too fond of this at the price point of $21 either as the chicken was minimal and sadly, way too dried out. Fish Flavored Eggplant: enjoyable for the most part, but got too sweet for me towards the end. Needs some ground pork :D Chengdu Cold Noodles: free with Yelp check in! I actually really loved this, although I will say that for the "noodle" itself, there's not much texture or flavoring, as you're supposed to eat it drenched in the chili oil. Normally not my kind of thing, but I'm sold! Will happily try more of this in the future read more

We came in 1 hour before closing and were seated right away. Don't forget to check in on yelp for a free cold noodle dessert! Wonderful service. Huge menu. The portions are huge so keep that in mind when ordering. We ordered a stir fried pea shoot, maoxuewang and chengdu cold noodle. Everything was delicious! My fav was the chengdu cold noodle. Vinegar-y, spicy, cold and jello-y - all things that I love. Keep in mind- there is a lot of oil and salt in the food so it can feel heavy if you eat too much of it. If you're in the area and you're craving szechuan food, then I highly recommend checking this place out! read more
