Scott Gulbransen: Had the Kung Pao shrimp and chicken...was excellent. Now a regular stop for me in NYC.
Ms Helene: Fish in chili oil with cabbage, Kung Pao shrimp $19, crispy cucumber and Dan Dan noodles were the best dishes ordered. Skip the dry pepper beef and standard fried dumplings.
Ritwik Dey: Great Sichuan spot for vegetarians. Most entrees have a tofu option, and some of the starters can be made meat-free too. Can't wait to go back!

tiva forman: get the steam & chilled chicken w/ chili sauce for appetizer! get spicy dishes for main! for dessert, get the sweet sesame rice ball soup
Jen Lee: If Joe's, across the street, is packed then come here. Get the double sauteed pork. Spicy, crispy and delicious. String beans are good too!
Hallie Liang: When I walk into the restaurant and smell the Sichuan peppercorns, I want to cry because it smells like my second home.

Village Voice: With a $7.95 lunch deal that could almost feed two, head here between 11:00 and 3:30. We recommend the beef with green beans or the ma po tofu, and definitely go with the hot-and-sour soup!
Rahul Sen: Easily one of the best Szechuan meals in town. Try the Meatball in green sauce!
Barry Hott: Shredded beef with green peppers is spectacular

:Danielle Strle: Hunan Beef, General Tso's tofu, and beef with broccoli are all amazing, but if you are trying to eat healthy, the steamed chicken & vegetables is excellent.

Henry Cheng: Always get a homemade Iced Tea or Lemonade with your meal, you will be more satisfied than you can imagine.
