Description
Chinatown gurus know this menu by heart, so we’ll speak to the neighborhood novices peering into windows wondering where to go: This place is the best spot for Szechuan cuisine in town. It uses plenty of Szechuan pepper, dried chilies, garlic and ginger to create flavors that are incredibly addictive. Our favorites are Chengdu dumplings, crispy Chinese eggplant with ground pork, "chef’s special" dry chili string beans, twice-cooked pork, ma po tofu, Szechuan prawns and "chef’s special" dry chili chicken. Trust us or choose at random—you won’t be disappointed.
