Had a great and lovely first time experience here. Glad I finally managed to go and hope to return again soon. I always liked what I saw from the outside, but was really impressed with the presentation of the food and the kindness and gentleness of the waiters Just a warning for those people sensitive to spice. The hot and sour soup was the spiciest I’ve ever had. Last but not least it’s also a great place for anybody who’s thinking about opening a restaurant to visit and be inspired by. For instance, it’s so nice how they present each table a relatively elegant water carafe with lemon. …. The only thing that might’ve made the experience even more enjoyable would have been if they offered a complementary hot pot of tea. (Less and less Asian restaurants do this, but I always really like that when they do. Plus I think it helps ensure people come back to a good restaurant.).

So glad we found this hidden gem conveniently located next to Union Square. It's definitely one of the city's most exquisite, authentic, and delicious Chinese(Sichuan)restaurants. While portions aren't massive, they're perfectly satisfying and tastefully decorated with an artist’s touch. We ordered spicy pork feet, Peking duck (accompanied by a delightful duck soup, a pleasant surprise), and bamboo with wood ear – every single dish was a culinary delight. The service was also incredibly welcoming. It’s perfect for both Asian and non-Asian palates, we couldn’t be happier with our experience and will definitely go back.

The food here can be quite good. The Mapo Tofu is excellent, enough heat and plenty of Mala flavor. One of the best I’ve had.

Went on a Saturday night with a large group and we were seated easily. The food was good and up to par with the other Sichuan food I've had in the city. Their green beans, live fish, and spicy chicken were our favorite.

Authentic Szechuan cuisine at its finest, extremely reasonable prices, and the service was absolutely fantastic! They were incredibly friendly and extremely accommodating. We ordered Dan Dan noodles, dumplings in hot sauce, chef’s special lo mein, Kung pao chicken: each dish was delicious! We’re only staying in the area for a week and we’re tempted to go back multiple times 🤤🤤🤤

Another awesome Sichuan entry in NYC. Enormous portions, super tasty. Our favorite was the Maoxue Wong, which was basically a bunch of tripe, offal, spam and potatoes in a chili oil, with some random other goodies thrown in there. I would suggest sticking to one big stew and a couple of small dishes for two people, not 3 giant stews like we ordered.

It is nice to have old school Chinese cheap eats in this area, especially for lunch. The hot sour soup was good! Things in general were made well here. I had to mention that the rice was particularly cooked at the right level! The service was attentive, no complaints! The price was very reasonable for lunch. Hard to find these days.

Came for dinner with a group of Chinese friends. Food is good but not what I would called Sichuan. I can recommend the Sautéed pea shoots, Peking duck w soup, Cucumber salad and the Mapo tofu. I CANNOT recommend the grilled fish, it was terrible. The decor is honestly bizarre, as my friend put it, a mahjong factory. Service was ok, but dishes were slow to be served.

After 13 years, I think, we're finally back in NYC. And we booked an apartment near Union Square. When I got the address of the apartment, I started to look for good restaurants in the area… on Google maps, of course. Turns out there was quite a few places with good reviews, especially a Chinese restaurant, So do fun. I don’t know why, but, to me, food in the US often means Chinese food… So when we arrived pretty late the first night we dropped the luggage and rushed to try it out. We absolutely loved the dumplings and the fried pork we ordered first but the pasta we had afterwards was quite neutral, unfortunately. The restaurant itself was ok but the service was slow. We waited about 20 minutes between the first dishes and the pasta so My son fell asleep and I had to eat with him in my arms. I’m always happy to hold my son in my arms but… The waiter’s language skill were not optimal either… Nevertheless, overall, it was not a bad experience at all. The fact that it was my first night back in NYC probably helped a lot 😉 Quality & taste: 8/10 Quantities: 8/10 Atmosphere: 7/10 Originality: 8/10 Ratio price / quality: 9/10 Service: 5/10 How I felt afterwards: 7/10 More on IG @runnerandfoodie

Good food, efficient and attentive service. I liked the cold noodles with sesame, the flavor was present and delicate; these noodles didn't look as pretty as the tricolored noodles on the menu. The grilled Sichuan fish was good and filling, but not as spicy as I expect from Sichuan food, and somewhat lacking mala spice.
