Love the atmosphere and excited to find soup dumplings on a midtown menu.

The mapo...the husband and wife special...chunking chicken = Awesomeness.
Jen KDecember 4, 2014
If your thinking about ordering the tofu&pulled pork.. Make sure you get some extra soy sauce. (A little dry)
Emily WilsonSeptember 2, 2015
Get a few orders of soup dumplings immediately upon getting seated--they take 10 minutes to come out
Justin SofferDecember 23, 2016
Order the cucumbers, scallion pancakes, sesame noodles. Everything was amazing.

Sharon PaculorMay 8, 2013
start your meal with the Pork dumplings in Chili oil, deliciously spicy!
Alexandra FanningSeptember 26, 2016
Scallion pancakes rock, cucumbers good, dumplings, everything
Ido RosenJanuary 16, 2016
Ma po tofu is like eating potpourri, way too much Szechuan peppercorns. Spiced cumin lamb was good. Vegetable pot stickers arrived lukewarm.
Misook JiJuly 20, 2013
Yummy food. Great service. Opinion about the restaurant deco was a bit overrated in NY Times review. It's definitely not a typical Chinese restaurant atmosphere. But not that memorable ether.
Elizaveta T.September 18, 2015
Go for lunch, order double Noodles and relax. Life is awesome.
Lauren TAugust 23, 2015
Wow wow wow! The spicy pork dumplings are not to be missed!
Travis RamseyDecember 3, 2014
Good kungpow chicken but have them hold on the Pepercorns! It ruins the dish. Super intense and small and hard to avoid.
Huaisi CenJune 24, 2016
Authentic Chinese food, clean and modern.
Wilson ZhouJuly 30, 2013
Every thing is slow, kitchen, service...cheap lunch but can't wait that long. And I'm not very impressed by their dishes, other Chinese restaurants deserve Michelin's star unless judge only know spice
LorcánAugust 26, 2016
Sweet potato pancakes are perfection.
AditiMay 22, 2016
Mapo tofu is fuego as are all their veg dishes. Great dumplings
Marcus D.September 6, 2014
The question is what is not good here? Get the spicy fried chicken!
Kathrine MitchellJanuary 20, 2018

The Mabo tofu is awesome! Chungking chicken is ridiculously spicy only for the true lovers of spicy fiery food beware!

Sichuan items are the focus so go for them. Lines can be long.
Hayley McGuirlJanuary 2, 2014
Try the fish and white bean soup, full of flavor and perfect for sharing!

It's straightforward. Have the rabbit. Have the kung pao. Have the eggplant. Have the Mapo tofu. Smile.

Klaus LieMay 21, 2017
Three spice chicken and Dan dan noodles ftw!!

Sweet and sour ribs, chili dumplings, Dan Dan noodles.

lucy elliottJune 14, 2012
The Double cooked pork with smoked tofu. Just the right amount of spicy. Super tasty!
Robert StewartDecember 29, 2014
Tea duck, spare ribs, fried noodles, everything!
Caitlin WilliamsMay 20, 2014
Spicy cumin pork is amazing
Cristina DordasAugust 29, 2015
Don't miss the pork dumplings in chili oil
MaxOctober 8, 2015
All the Sichuan classics in a cool retro-China atmosphere.
Jose La RosaMay 12, 2022
Spicy but quite good!!!
Foxxy BSeptember 8, 2018
Pass on Chungking chicken: oddly salty w/ no other flavor (certainly can’t taste chicken) & not that spicy (it has the highest spice rating). Place is probably overhyped; I’ll give it 1 more chance.
DJ FGAugust 8, 2014
Excellent Chinese food. The blossom fish is amazing!
Michael AnthonyApril 19, 2019
Some of the best Szechuan I’ve had in NYC
Giulia MJanuary 28, 2015

I am not a big fan of Kung Pao Chicken, but their Kung Pao Chicken is so delish!!!!
WillMcDJanuary 11, 2015
Probably some of the best Chinese food I've ever had.

Juan BuisMarch 7, 2016
What can you say? Extremely good, very affordable.
Tim DengAugust 14, 2018
Really solid chinese food, but unfortunately I didn't think it met up to my hyped expectations.
Brian OconnellApril 20, 2013
Even the Caucasian waiters speak Chinese, and quite a lot of the non-Chinese diners too.
