I came here with some folks and the food was surprisingly amazing. On a busy evening, many places…read morein Flushing required a reservation or had long wait times, but Szechuan Mountain House, perfectly didn't have a long wait so we went to check it out. Starting off, the numbing szechuan chicken was my least favorite of the dishes - the pieces of chicken were really tiny and there were a lot of peppercorns. I wish they made the pieces of chicken slightly larger as it was irritating to slowly pick it out towards the end of finishing it. Now, what went well were the stone pot with the fish. Normally not a huge fan of fish, so if I can enjoy eating fish a place has done well in preparing it. The soup was really flavorful and everyone at my table enjoyed it. The sweet and sour pork was also nice. The breading was crispy and the sauce had a nice tangy flavor to it and the texture was interestingly satisfying. The grilled beef ribs and bao buns were one of my favorite. The beef rib was very tender and went well with the buns and condiments that were provided.

Szechuan mountain house is one of the original Szechuan restaurants to open in downtown flushing…read more It continues to draw in a sizeable crowd due to its strong reputation. I've dined here with my family twice and in the most recent occasion, we came with no reservations around 2:30pm on a Sunday. All the tables were taken as they just opened at noon so we had to wait a bit. Their menu / iPad ordering system was simple to navigate and quick to place. Our table was started off with their spicy pickled cabbage, which was super addicting. I love how the spicy oil was so flavorful and the cabbage was soft and just slightly tangy. We ordered 5 dishes for our party of 5: the la-zi chicken, stir fried cabbage, grilled beef ribs, beef and mushroom bibimbap and mao xue wang. My favorites were the la-zi chicken as the diced chicken was super crispy and flavorful. The spice level and numbingness was just the right amount. Next comes the beef and mushroom bibimbap, which is mixed and served at the table. The flavors were more soy based and was very balanced. The stir fried cabbage was cooked well but the pork in the dish was extremely salty. The grilled beef ribs came with steamed baos, similar to peking duck. I enjoyed the experience and presentation but the dish was a bit boring. Toppings included a spicy hot sauce, cucumbers and scallions along with the sliced beef that was individually torched at the table. Lastly the mao xue wang is a traditional stew featuring offals and blood curds. This one had duck blood, tripe, and intestines. I was extremely disappointed by this dish as I was expecting some tofu and small pork intestines but it didn't have either. The tripe and intestines were very crunchy, wherwas the duck blood was silky and soft. The flavor was very basic mala stew and had a ton of red chili peppers. Overall I had a decent meal at Mountain house but can't help but wonder if I ordered the right things since not everything was as good as I hoped. I will mostly likely return to give their other menu items a try.

I went to this Szechuan restaurant with a group a couple of weeks ago. The staff was nice, and the…read morefood overall was tasty with a couple definite highlights. They uniquely have a self-rotating lazy susan which can be controlled remotely which was an interesting touch. Along with the usual peanuts, they provided us some free picked radish which was very tasty with us getting extra. The first dish that arrived was the Crispy Cucumber Salad for $15. The flavors were standard with a mild sweetness from the dark soy sauce with the more interesting part being the shape as they almost resembled flowers. I slightly preferred this over the usual as it added a more fun texture and I found it absorbed the sauce a bit better. For the same price, the Mapo Tofu was very tasty. While having a good numbing flavor from the peppercorn, It's a bit spicier next door at Szechuan Mountain. However, the texture of the tofu was better here being a good mix of firm and silken. This version was also fully vegetarian I believe as commonly, there's a tiny bit of pork on top. This presumably was why it was a bit cheaper as well compared to next door. My favorite of the dishes, which was a favorite of the whole table was the Stir Fried Bacon With Tea Tree Mushrooms for $22. The mushrooms had a fun crunchy texture while the bacon was more Hunan style with plenty of smokiness. This was delicious and a definite highlight. Also tasty was the Spicy Stir-Fried Pork Kidney for $20. The kidneys were cut into thin manageable pieces and the offal flavor was milder than other kidney dishes I have had being less gamey and a bit less minerally. There was a slight chew to the kidneys but it wasn't too much and the bit of veggies added some crunch. The Eel With Fermented Rice Sauce for $20 as well had mixed opinions but a few people such as myself liked it. The portion was large and I liked that the eel texture here more than in other spots where the eel is fried. The light fermented flavor was also nice which also added a unique red hue. However, the dish was quite boney so I liked some pieces a lot and found some others to be OK. I would still recommend it. The Chongqing Spicy Chicken for $20 was pretty standard. I wish it was a lighter fry but the chicken was pretty moist even with the amount of batter and it had a good mala flavor. The peppers were also nicely cooked down in the wok and plenty edible. The Dry Pot With Asian Mushrooms for $22 was pretty good. As with others, I preferred the other mushroom dish much more as the flavors were lighter. The textures weren't as fun here, but at least the presentation was nice. Larger was the alright Cumin Lamb for $25. This was pretty tasty, in terms of cumin, but I find other spots are better in terms of spice, such as next door as well as Xing Shun Da among others. The pieces were also smaller here and I liked the texture of the larger pieces at other places. This was fine, but I would recommend other places for this dish instead. The largest dish was their take on Golden Sour Sliced Beef Soup for $32. A few others loved this, but I found it to be OK. The dish in general has a good mix of sourness and spiciness, but this version was a bit too sour and not spicy enough for my liking. I appreciated the other toppings from the plentiful enoki to the noodle bundles, and the beef was good, so if the spice is improved, I would recommend it more. At the end, the staff gave us a complimentary dessert consisting of Black Sesame Mochi Balls in a Rice Wine Soup, a variant of Tang Yuan. The rice balls inside were hot and packed with black sesame, and were very tasty. The broth was excellent here with just enough rice wine for flavor, while not being overpowering. This was a particularly tasty version of this dish, and I was very happy it was included. The food here overall was solid. I prefer a handful of other places, but for the reasonable prices and good overall quality, I would recommend this place. Low 4.

Spicy Jumping Pork Short Rib: the spare rib version of the lazi chicken was unfortunately filled with pieces of fat and tendon and not much meat.

The fish was tender and silky, soaked in a fragrant broth layered with sour pickled mustard greens, numbing Sichuan peppercorns, dried chilies, and that signature hot oil poured tableside, releasing an aroma that instantly made my mouth water. The balance of heat, tang, and savory depth was spot on bold but not overpowering, comforting yet exciting with every bite. The fish absorbed all those flavors beautifully, and each spoonful begged for rice. Speaking of rice do not skip it. Their rice was exceptional: fluffy, slightly glossy, and perfectly cooked, almost fragrant on its own. It soaked up the sauce effortlessly, pairing so well with the fish that it elevated the entire meal. I honestly wished I had asked what brand of rice they use because it was that good.The restaurant is called Fish With You, and they truly live up to the name. Every element felt intentional and well executed, making this dish both satisfying and memorable. A must order if you're a fan of bold, comforting flavors.

The aromatic hot oil and suancai fish was excellent, more than enough for one person (plus maybe one). You can swap out the two veggies with other choices but I liked the lettuce and baby nappa.

Con about this is, I didn't realize there would be a wait so I didn't bother making reservations on Google so we had to wait 40 mins. No seats so we decided to go hang out at tangram while we waited and waiting for her text/call. The little one has been hyped up so much from mukbangs that she's constantly craving crawfish. I mentioned to her that a couple places in Flushing sell crawfish Chinese style and she wanted to try. Did a search on Yelp and saw someone recently raved about the crawfish here. Every order of crawfish comes in 2lbs and we ordered the spiced flavored one. This crawfish gets an A++. Little one loved the flavors and freshness. So tasty. Not only that, but these were probably the biggest crawfish we've ever seen! Even the claws had meat! We also loved how they chopped off the top of the head to removed the "filter". We also ordered a couple small dishes to try. For cold apps we ordered the pigs ear and okra. We love the crunchy texture of the pigs ear and the more we ate it, the more addicting it got to eat. Okra was also a bit. For the skewers, we ordered the lamb beef and intestine. Honestly the lamb and beef skewers were probably the worst ones we've ever tried. It was a struggle to finish them. The meat was tasteless, hard and overcooked. No fat ratio at all. The pig intestines were perfectly cooked. Love when it's crispy. We love finding a place that's been around that's actually a huge hit for us. We will be back. If you spend $120, they will gift you a huge carafe of passion fruit tea.

Hot Space is known for their grilled fish served in a large pan (kept heated with a flame underneath) with various toppings that you can choose from including enoki mushrooms, cabbage, veggies, fish tofu, soft tofu, kelp, lotus root, black fungus, rice cakes, ramen noodles, and glass noodles. They have options for the flavor of the broth/grilled fish including mala spicy, spicy tofu (comes with soft tofu), garlic, tomato, and more. Their menu also includes appetizers and other entrees including crawfish and shrimp. For appetizers, we tried the grilled fish tofu skewer, cold tofu with preserved duck egg, and grilled eggplant with garlic. I would recommend all of these appetizers. If you enjoy fish, this place is worth trying especially because you can customize it with toppings that you like. When you spend $120, you can get a free tower of a sparkling fruit drink (it was just okay so don't go out of your way to spend $120 just to get the drink). Free dessert , herbal jelly in milk, comes at the end of the meal, but this wasn't too enjoyable. Service: Staff members were very friendly and helpful. They came around to refill drinks frequently. Ambiance: The restaurant is a good size because it has two floors. Good for both small and large groups. Seating is comfortable. Overall, I would recommend this place!
