A great meal for 2, at one of the best Chinese places in NYC: pork soup dumplings, double cooked pork, and ma po tofu with minced pork (extra spicy). Conveniently in the middle of the west village.

Quite satisfying. Make sure to get your veggies in and try the sautéed snow pea shoots-so delicious! Soup dumplings were good too. On the smaller side compared to Joes Shanghai but flavor was good

For my money, it's Chong Qing chicken, Ma Po Tofu, and rice. Mix the two and eat till you're numb. Also loved the dried string beans with minced pork. Delicious!! All 3 dishes pictured below.

One of the best Chinese restaurants I've been to! The food is rich in flavor, but not greasy or heavy. Recommend the Hot and Sour Soup an crepe-like scallion pancakes. Cozy & super-friendly staff..

Reliable Sichuan dishes and Cantonese classics at the Upper West Side branch of this mini chain.

Unusual for NY, they serve good exemplars of dishes with the mala/麻 (numbing heat) of the Szechuan peppercorn. An acquired taste, but if your palate's adventurous, try the mapo tofu or dan dan noodles

A good place to grab some takeout on your way home. Order ahead and it will be waiting.

follow dave chang’s advice: get the fish hot pot. but order it without fish, and then add pork, chicken and noodles.

Dan Dan noodles! (Its in the appetizer section, but makes a great meal.)

Soup dumplings as good as Joe's Shanghai. Minus the ridiculous wait!!

Crabmeat and pork soup dumplings are a must! The beef with cumin is also pretty delicious.

Lunch specials are a great value: entree, rice, and choice of soup or soda for less than a Hamilton

Lychee martini is great. And the dan dan noodles and wonton app are the rare authentic Sichuan touches.

They have great hot and sour soup here.
Jo TrentJanuary 31, 2015
The food is generally good, but don't EVER order the General Tso's. There's way too much breading and it tastes like you're eating seasoned cardboard.

The Sichuan wontons in red oil are a spicy delight.

It's okay. Had the fried vegetable dumplings. Wouldn't mind munching there again, but not a favorite.
BenFebruary 1, 2015
Not entirely impressed. Better Chinese for the same price in the UWS.
