Tbh, I loved this spot. Food was 🔥 bold, real Sichuan flavors, super fragrant and spicy in the best way. Everything came out FAST, which I appreciate when I’m starving lol. The vibe is cozy but elevated, not chaotic, and low-key the feng shui feels really good, warm, balanced, just comfy to sit and eat for a while. Service was friendly and on point without being overbearing. Def a place I’d come back to (and bring friends). Solid food, good energy, no complaints. 🌶️✨

We had a great dining experience at Mountain House in Flushing. We ordered the frog dish, Kung Pao chicken, and the beef bao — everything was delicious, full of authentic flavor, and cooked perfectly. The spice level was spot on and the portions were satisfying. Special shout-out to our server Xiao Yu — he was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the meal. His service really elevated the whole experience. Amazing food, great service, and a place we’ll definitely come back to. Highly recommended!

Authentic Chinese cuisine near NYU with solid, satisfying flavors. The food is good and feels true to traditional cooking. Desserts are average and not the highlight, but the savory dishes make up for it. Special shoutout to Pan—the service was warm, attentive, and made the experience even better. Overall, a great spot for good Chinese food and friendly service in the NYU area.

Szechuan food done accurate at not too bad of a pricing. The interior is designed very nicely. Wait was a bit long so do get a reservation. They gave out gifts for openning anniversary which was very generous. I thought the table next door bought it until we got one too.

This is repeat visit, as usual the food is good and it satisfied my cravings for authentic Sichuan food. The staff were great and food came quickly. Make reservations early if you don't want to wait.

This is my second time visiting here and it’s just as amazing as the first! Service was great, Frankie was attentive and so nice. Food was delicious- we had the sliced pork with green peppers, tappan shrimp (amazing!) and snow pee shoots. Our dessert was so pretty and tasted just as good. Would definitely come back!

I will always come back to Mountain House when I need my spicy craving fixed. This is my 10+ time here and it is always satisfying after each meal. Every dish is a flavor bomb, portions are great, and a wide range of menu selection that keeps me coming back to try more dishes. We always get the Lazi Chicken, fish in sour cabbage soup, and beef fried rice. Occasionally, we go back to the house chicken and swing pork belly for something more mild. Overall, amazing food as always, service is great, and remember to make a reservation before coming although the wait isn’t usually too bad with 30 minutes to an hour. One time we came during Mother’s Day and they gave us jasmine tea pudding as complimentary dessert for mothers. Great service!

Tried their Yuxiang Rousi, Spicy Chicken, Cold Pork Slices, and Bingfen, and everything was so good! The Yuxiang Rousi had the perfect mix of sweet, sour, and spicy — super flavorful and tender. The Spicy Chicken was crispy, fragrant, and addictive. The Cold Pork Slices were rich and garlicky but still refreshing. And the Bingfen was the perfect finish — light, cool, and super refreshing after all the spice. The place feels cozy and authentic, and the staff are really friendly. Honestly, it’s one of the best Sichuan spots I’ve had in Manhattan — definitely coming back!

We really enjoyed our meal here. The Boiled Fish was outstanding — tender, fresh, and full of rich, fragrant spice without being overwhelming. It’s easily one of the best versions we’ve had. Our server Sean was also excellent: warm, attentive, and very helpful throughout the meal. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious Sichuan food and great service!

I went there super hungry, and our server was amazing — so attentive and friendly, which made the whole experience really enjoyable! I loved the fish soup — it was perfectly soft and flavorful. My friend and I thought we wouldn’t be able to finish all the food, but it was so tasty we couldn’t stop eating, haha! I also loved their stylish to-go bags. Definitely recommend this place!

Absolutely amazing! The food is incredibly delicious — every dish is full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The restaurant is beautiful, the atmosphere is great, and the prices are very reasonable. The staff are also super friendly and attentive. One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had!

I heard a lot of different opinions about Mountain House and all I have to say is that this is excellent food - I’m already looking forward to coming back. The Fu-Qi special was one of the most delicious and unique dishes I’ve had in the last few months, definitely try this is you’re open to trying new things. I really enjoyed the La-Zi chicken as well though they did skimp a bit on the meat, it was mostly peppers as compared to most photos - still delicious however. Lastly the stir fried cauliflower was the best thing I had, so simple yet flavorful. If you’re thinking about coming here, don’t hesitate and give it a shot.

Had a really peaceful time eating here; Service was so friendly and attentive, Interior really adds to the great atmosphere. Only ordered their hanging pork and their beef fried rice but these were still so flavorful, had a fun presentation, and perfect portion sizes for sharing with others. Every option on the menu sounded amazing, so I can't wait to come back and try! For pairs, there was a wait for about 10-30 minutes, so keep that in mind for your party size! For bigger groups, seems like up to 4 may be the best size!

The food here is absolutely amazing! My friends and I came to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival — we’re from Sichuan, and the flavors really reminded us of home 🥹. Our server, Cynthia, was so attentive and friendly. We’ll definitely be coming back!

I came all the way from Canada and can confidently say this is the best Szechuan food in all of North America. I stayed in New York for four nights and ended up having dinner here three times. I just couldn’t stay away. The flavours are incredible, and every dish blew me away. A huge part of what makes this place so special is Frankie. He’s genuinely the sweetest person and always goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. His kindness and warm welcome make every visit memorable.

I’ve been wanting to try Mountain House in the East Village for a long time since it’s often mentioned as one of the best Chinese restaurants in NYC. While the food was good and the portions were very generous, none of the dishes we tried stood out as significantly better than other Szechuan restaurants I’ve had in the city. That said, the portion sizes are great for sharing, especially if you go with a group, and the staff was very kind and accommodating. The menu is also extensive and has a lot of interesting options. The atmosphere was honestly the most underwhelming part for me. Online photos make the space look quaint but spacious, but in reality it’s quite small and can feel cramped. Luckily we sat in a booth, but I imagine the middle tables might feel a bit chaotic when it’s busy. Overall, I still really enjoyed dining here and would definitely come back to try more dishes.

My boyfriend took me and my kid there. As a vegetarian, I found that many dishes contained meat. I ordered sizzling tofu and spinach, which felt like a healthy choice. He had mapo beef. They made a cute plate for my kid. We came home with leftovers.

I recently dined here, and it was a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with traditional décor that set the mood perfectly. The staff was attentive, friendly, and quick to accommodate any requests. The food was the real highlight. The flavors were rich and authentic. Portions were generous and priced fairly, making it a great value. What I appreciated most was the consistency — every dish came out hot, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented.

As tempting as it is, the swing pork belly appetizer is not worth it! It’s just bland steamed/boiled room temperature strips of non flavorful pork belly you can dip into this oil lard concoction that doesn’t taste that amazing at all. I ate two pieces and left the rest to my partner- who also wasn’t impressed. In fact, it tasted better dipped into the dumplings chili oil broth- which I would 10000% recommend! The pork and shrimp dumplings in chili oil were incredible- best I’ve had in NYC. It comes with a great broth to enjoy. Loved them so much I couldn’t get a pic till the end. The kung pao was a miss- wayyyy too sweet. And the yibin style ran noodles not very flavorful and cold, which I didn’t enjoy. We also got the twice cooked pork belly which was good. The service was phenomenal which is why I give three stars. Although there’s been quite some hype about this place for a while, I’ve had much better Szechuan cuisine in other restaurants in nyc. So I was not impressed. Except for the dumplings in chili oil. Would definitely recommend those.
