    Cutie mint!
    Joy C.

    Was so excited to come here with friends after seeing it all over social media! I was able to make a reservation and we were seated upstairs in this almost private sectioned table! The inside design was beautiful! We tried the iconic swing pork belly, which was visually fun. The chili oil here is great in all the dishes. The actual dish was nothing groundbreaking, but good nonetheless. We got the fried rice and mapo tofu. The fried rice was AMAZING!! Definitely must get. The mapo tofu is huge and a great level of spice but not too spicy. We also got the double fried pork, which had some veg. We dipped it in the chili oil to give it more spice! They ended the meal with some cute mints that had a fruity taste to it! This place definitely lives up to the hype and we were all incredibly full after!

    The food here is SOOOOOOOOO delicious and actually spicy!! I've been to places like this before where it wasn't spicy at all, but this place did such a good job. Everything was so good and I would come back to try everything else. The service was amazing. We came closer to closing time, but the staff still took us in and took our orders immediately and we got sat down. Food came out so quick, and everything was hot and delicious. The drinks were fun as well, but I would just come back for the food. My favorite was the lobster, and I suggest everyone to come here to try it!!! The ambiance was so lovely. We walked in and it felt like I was in a different area and not in nyc. I absolutely loved. The decorations and it was a bit quieter so I was able to hear the person I was with. This place is famous and I completely understand why. Might try and come back again soon lol!!

    Peppercorn Beef- Tenderloin in Szechuan peppercorn broth. $26. Very numbing. Pretty tasty, but I prefer their other "soups"/stews like Suan

    I went to the newest location of this excellent miniature Szechuan/Sichuan chain with a group several months ago, having been to both their Flushing and popular St. Marks location. It's the same schtick mostly when it comes to the menu, outside of missing certain dishes such as the Lamb Scorpion, a delicious dish made from lamb spine. In terms of other visits, I would recommend their Suan Cai Yu, or fish in sour and spicy cabbage soup, or the similar beef version with enoki. I heavily recommend making a reservation early if you can, as you'll otherwise have to wait a while, with there not being that much room by the entrance. We had a large group, so it took a while regardless. In terms of drinks, they have a selection of nonalcoholic drinks, wines, and a selection of baijiu. This includes them surprisingly selling a $15 100 ml bottle of Er Guo Tou/二锅头, a 54% ABV liquor that might be one of the easiest ways to get hammerered in the city. For food, they give you some free crunchy cabbage with a mild spicy kick. The other dishes were the following: Fried Shredded Eel- Deep-fried shredded eel with chili pepper and celery. $32. I found the portion a tad bigger compared to the other location, and it was pretty tasty as usual, though I, as usual, prefer getting cumin lamb over this as the texture is better and it's a bigger portion of protein. Pepper Rabbit Meat- Stir-fried spicy rabbit with hot pepper. $25. Bony is expected, but I liked the flavor. It had a good sour and spicy mix, reminding me more of Hunan or Yunnan food. Szechuan Double Cooked Pork- Pork belly, Chinese leeks, and chili pepper. $19. We got this as they were out of the country-style pork. Good version with streaky pork, which wasn't too fatty. There was also enough douchi/fermented black bean, but not too much that it was overly salty. Salted Egg Yolk Corn- Golden baked corn kernels with salted egg yolk. $18. A nice sweet bite with a bit of saltiness, which mixed well when combined with all the spicier dishes. Peppercorn Beef- Tenderloin in Szechuan peppercorn broth. $26. Good amount of tender beef, and a decent dish overall. This was the most numbing of all the dishes, along with the pepper rabbit. Fried Rice With Szechuan Pickles & Bacon. $19. Alright. I wish the rice had more smokiness from the bacon. This is yet another good location of this miniature Szechuan chain. I prefer the St. Marks location in terms of atmosphere, and maybe as there's a dish or two missing here compared to that location, but I presume this one's easier to get into.

    This spot made the "Top 10 Chinese Restaurants in NYC" list based on over 100 million ratings on Beli!! The Sichuan flavors here are bold, spicy, and super authentic--definitely a spot to come hungry with friends and share tasty dishes. Swing pork belly, La Zi Chicken, Crispy Sizzling Tofu, Ma La Lobster, and MaoXueWang are delicious!! Also heard from the staff they now stay open late on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays until 1 AM, which makes this even better for late night cravings!!

    la zi chickens

    Very nice Chinese restaurant! The spicy chicken is very delicious! The food is the best among the nearby restaurants. Excellent environment!

    Mountain House blew me away. The food was phenomenal--rich flavors, perfect textures, and dishes that strike that rare balance of comforting and elevated. You can feel the pride and craftsmanship in every plate. The service was just as exceptional. Everyone we interacted with was warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our night memorable.

    beef ribs
    Caroline S.

    overrated. i've had better versions of everything i've tried here at other places. i think the best thing i've tried here is the beef ribs with the bao, but it wasn't anything super amazing or anything. here's some commentary on some of the dishes i've had: - la zi ji: too many peppers, not enough chicken - plum juice: bitter and very artificial tasting - green beans: below average to average for a szechuan restaurant. not super crisp. - green pepper pork: for some reason, the green pepper was super bitter and basically inedible :( jiang nan in flushing/LIC/chinatown does this dish much better - swing belly pork: very plain. the dipping sauce had one flavor note and that was garlic. my breath stank for days after eating this. everything else was average. the nice thing is that they are near broadway shows so you can come here before a show and they can also accommodate large parties. they also bring out tea and a nice pickled cabbage amuse bouche. tldr; if someone asked me for chinese restaurant recommendations in nyc, this would not be in my top 5. wouldn't come back since there are so many other better chinese restaurants in the city.

    Mountain House is a NYC staple when it comes to Sichuan food. With two locations in Manhattan, this spot in Times Square has stunning Chinese interior and is a reliable spot when it comes to authentic Sichuan cuisine. Service here is excellent and fairly quick. When I came, I got their swinging pork belly, wontons in chicken soup, mapo tofu, la zi chicken, and drunken jelly (for dessert). I absolutely loved their dumplings and their la zi chicken. Everything comes in a good portion and great value for the price. Loved ending the meal with their refreshing jelly, and I would definitely come back.

    This restaurant was terrific, service was top notch the ambiance led to an authentic feel and the food was top notch. Ordering made easy with an iPad at the table that displayed photos of the food along with ingredients and pricing.

    I've been to their downtown location but first time at this location. The decor definitely adds to the vibe here. Two floor and you check in on the first floor. The 2nd floors seems to be bigger and more seating. Service was good too. I was with a large group and they were very accommodating. The food was delicious and the presentation was amazing as well. Everything looked delicious.

    Jennifer L.

    Mountain House really hit the spot when you're craving Szechuan. Everything we ordered was delicious, but the standout was the sliced fish in sour cabbage soup, tender fish, perfectly tangy pickled cabbage, and a broth so good I couldn't stop drinking it. Highly recommend if you're in the area. Staff was also super friendly and restaurant had great vibe/ambience.

    Not just another Chinese restaurant, but an experience in dinner. Along Manhattan's famous Restaurant Row (46th Ave), Mountain House is an authentic Szechuan restaurant where you're greeted warmly by members of the staff in a well appointed dining room. My wife and I enjoyed a range of dishes in the beautiful first floor dining room (2nd floor is equally beautiful). We started with complimentary hot green tea along with Beef Sour Soup. The soup's broth is both sour and very spicy while the meat is very tender and delicious. We also had my favorite dish, Kung Pao Chicken which is loaded with peanuts and quite tasty. To round out our meal we had a few dumplings and fresh steamed rice. Definitely a destination restaurant that I highly recommend if you're looking for authentic Szechuan cuisine.

    I liked this place! Me and my friends needed a late dinner option after a long day out. We put our name on the waitlist and waited around 30 minutes for a party of 4. The restaurant is surprisingly bigger than I expected since they have seating on the top floor. We ordered the green beans, ma-po tofu, swing pork belly, la-zi chicken, beef stew with potatoes, and a couple cocktails, I got the endless summer one. I loved all the food, my favorite was the beef stew with potatoes! I could pass on the swing pork, I just don't like pork that much but that's just personal preference lol.

    My wife and I took our kids (10 and 16 year old boys) to this place on our last evening in NYC. We…read morewere looking for a place that had a nice ambiance and good food. Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

It's better than it needs to be, which in this neighborhood counts for a lot. The room is the star. Brass, smoked mirrors, marble, wallpaper with burlesque dancers, very Gatsby cosplay but done with actual money. Think the Campbell at Grand Central, minus the $28 martini attitude. It's also LOUD downstairs. Ask for upstairs if you want to hear your date. Gin is the program here and they take it seriously, house-infused bottles paired with specific tonics, not an afterthought. My G&T was legitimately well built. Food from chef JC Colón is better than cocktail-bar standard: truffle fries in duck fat are worth it, the lobster mac at $31 is rich and fine but you've had it before. Skip dessert. The steak frites at $48 is where I'd tap out, that's real-restaurant money for bar food execution. Here's the move though: weekday happy hour, 4 to 7. Dollar oysters and $13 cocktails in a room this pretty is one of the best deals in Midtown, full stop. Service was warm and fast even slammed. Not a destination, but if you're near Bryant Park or seeing a show, this beats everything else within five blocks. Book ahead, walk-ins were getting turned away by 5:30.

I've been coming here for years, and the quality of the food continues to keep me coming back. During this visit, I ran into a recurring issue with my lobster. It was carrying a large amount of roe, which I was actually happy about because I enjoy it and didn't want any of it to go to waste. However, the roe deep inside wasn't fully cooked during the initial steaming process. I had to go back and forth with Ash and the kitchen staff several times, but they remained patient, attentive, and committed to making sure everything was cooked properly. Ash, one of the managers, provided excellent customer service throughout the experience. While I was waiting, he kindly offered me a complimentary cup of New England clam chowder, which was absolutely delicious and very much appreciated since I was starving. Before leaving, I also ordered two more 2 lb. steamed lobsters to go. I explained my concern, and the staff made sure they were thoroughly cooked before packaging them. Both were perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. I truly appreciate the team's dedication to customer satisfaction and their willingness to make things right. Their excellent service, combined with consistently great seafood, is why I've remained a loyal customer for years. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back. Thank you!
