I had to make the stank face after trying the chili oil and accompanying flavors, it's like a soft tangy and spicy flavor that is incredible, definitely house made. The tea was a rose sweet green tea, tastes great- the teapot was heavy which I loved The citrus bloom drink was presented spectacularly, the glass and the dried yellow flower on top was a great addition. It tastes like citrus with only a hint of alcohol The mapo tofu is awesome, I had it without beef but it's soft and has that mouth numbing you get from Sichuan. It's probably the most tingling I've gotten, my whole mouth and lips Absolutely beautiful aesthetic, there is peaceful string music playing the whole time and the entire place is decorated stunningly The service was amazing, the server told me how they make the appetizer as well as poured the cup of tea for me, other than that you normally order on the iPad which makes things very easy. You are able to add order notes for restrictions, and they also came and double checked if I was good with beef in the Mapo Tofu.

I did not expect to find a sit down Cantonese & Sichuan Restaurant in the heart of Herald Square…read more For sure a hidden gem worth trying. Came here with two other friends for dinner and we pigged out. We started off with Scallion Pancake with Shredded Duck ($15), which tasted amazing. The pancake was flaky and not overly soaked in oil, while the duck meat enhanced the taste. I think everything should order this for the table. We also got the Dan Dan Noodles w Minced Pork ($8), which is a staple dish in Sichuan cuisine. Make sure you stir the bowl to mix the sauce and minced pork. For veggies, we got the Sautéed Green Beans With Eggplant ($18), which tasted great. I usually get sautéed pea shoots for a veggie dish, but this was worth ordering as the eggplant tasted great along with the green beans. For entrees, we got the Spicy Green Pepper Fish Filet ($28 for filet). A classic Cantonese dish that comes with bok choy, so it turns out I didn't really need to order a veggie dish. Delicious. We also tried the OOHU Mao Xue Wang ($34), which may be one of the most spiciest dish available on the menu. This dish combines blood curd from a duck, tripe, and chicken gizzards along with other organs into a simmered broth containing chilis and peppercorns. They also use spam, vermicelli noodles, mushroom, and other things. If you're adventurous and you like spicy, I would recommend this. Best eaten with a cup of rice. Service is great as our server made good recommends and was overall friendly. They also have a party room you can book, which sounded pretty affordable. Don't recall what their minimum spend was, but it was super reasonable compared to a lot of other spots in Chinatown and Flushing.

I came here for a large dinner party where we got seated in the private room in the back. The space…read morefits three large tables although we only used two. We ordered multiple dishes which came out one after the other. Some of the standouts for me were the Pork Intestine Dry Pot ($20.95), Crispy Tofu with Salty Egg Yolk ($23.95), and Sauteed String Beans ($16.95). Many spicy food options since this is a Szechuan spot afterall. Some dishes were a bit too salty and spicy, which they did discount after we brought it to their attention. Overall, decent spot and good for large groups. Otherwise, I didn't find this spot to be too memorable (not bad, not great).

Crab tofu and crispy carp are highlights - get them! Crab tofu has great depth of flavor. Crispy…read morecarp is fried very well, and texturally very crunchy, very pleasing to eat. Pumpkin cake dessert is a delicious mochi texture, with red bean in the middle, but it's not too sweet. Eggplant is drenched in garlic sauce and goes very well with rice. Everything else is solid, and all well cooked here.

I love szechaun food and this place didn't disappoint! The mapo tofu was 10/10. The sticky rice…read moreduck caught us off guard--I guess I was expecting duck and sticky rice on the side. It wasn't bad but the texture caught me off guard, the top was crispy (yum) but underneath the rice was almost soggy instead of sticky, with the duck underneath. I also wish the bok choy had a stronger garlic flavor and was a bit more crunchy. The staff were very attentive and kind, and the ambiance was cute. It's a smaller space but doesn't feel crowded or stuffy. Booth + table options and mood lighting. Nothing flashy, very lowkey but in a good way.

Definitely worth a visit when you are in the area.

Service is very fast and they kept the water flowing (spicy dishes really are spicy!), and the portions are huge.

The restaurant is dark and elegant inside, with a large tv over the bar that was showing sports when we were there. It had a nice ambience.

We got grilled pork spare ribs, scallion pancake, half of a Peking duck, pork xiao long bao, mapo…read moretofu, la zi ji (spicy crispy chicken), and general tsos chicken. The grilled pork spare ribs was good, but it was too little meat for the price. The scallion pancake was bland. The Peking duck was ok. The pork xiao long bao was bad. The skin broke easily with the included forceps and with chopsticks. It was hard even transferring it to my plate. The mapo tofu was bland. The la zi ji (spicy crispy chicken) was too spicy to eat. I have good spice tolerance, and I always eat la zi ji, but it was just too spicy. This was the only meat dish that was barely touched at the end of the dinner. The best dish was the cumin lamb. It was seasoned well and the lamb was tender. I wish they gave us more lamb though. The meat pieces were small. I've had much better Chinese food in dallas. I would not recommend this Chinese restaurant to anyone.

I didn't need a reservation and was able to walk in on a Sat evening. The Dan Dan noodles were the best of the dishes I tried here as the noodles had a great texture and the portion size was perfect for 2 to split. The beef hotpot noodle soup was way too spicy though, I definitely recommend some rice or something on the side to help balance it out. The clay pot rice was a generous portion and had the crispy rice on the side of the pot. I think it had Chinese sausage, duck, and even some pork in it so I was pretty happy with the variety. The duck meat was not great though since most of it was a fatty boney piece.

This is just a neighborhood joint (with a "B" clean rating)…read more MUST ORDER HERE: the cold sesame noodles and the scallion pancake. Those were the highlights for me. I used to live in NYC and cold peanut (or sesame) noodles were on every Chinese menu in the city. Weird that I have never seen them anywhere in San Francisco (or Dallas). They were just scrumptious, and I plan on making them with some grilled chicken next week for a dinner party. I would have liked some chopped scallions on top here, but this place is kinda "no frills". The scallion pancake was nice and crispy, maybe a little oily, but still excellent. Two friends and I split the noodles, the pancake, the mu shu pork and the General Tso's chicken. It all came out pretty fast. Strange too, that no chopsticks were offered.
