This is one of my favorite spicy foods restaurants in Flushing! As a Sichuan (aka. Szechuan) restuarant, they are known for their "ma la" (literally translated as "numbing spice," a spice created from the Sichuan pepper). This is the spice they use in ma po tofu. If you've ever had ma po tofu at other "Chinese" restaurants, and it didn't strangely numb your entire mouth/tongue, you have never really had ma po tofu. You've had fake Westernized ma po tofu. In which case, you must try the dish here. I'm not a big fan of this spice so this isn't my go-to dish.
Dishes I highly recommend are Qing jiao (green chili peppers) & pork, Sauteed peas sprouts with garlic, and their cold cucumber dish. I have yet to try their fried rice but I hear people raving about it all the time. Must be amazing fried rice if it has people so stirred up over... rice.
Everything on the menu is worth trying though since they have yet to disappoint me with any of their dishes. The chef knows his Sichuan cuisine and cooks really well.
