Delicious food and great service! Unexpectedly authentic Szechuan right in midtown not far from Grand Central.m
Food was delicious Mala dry hot pot was very delicious. Service was great! Overall ambiance was great! Will comeback!
Went for a team lunch and ordered bunch of entrees to share. They do have a lunch special but it looks like it's only for takeout given it wasn't on the menu when dining in. Really enjoyed the fish filet with pickled veg in broth but all other entrees were tasty. Coworkers thought the entrees could've been spicier but to me it was the perfect amount of spice (low spice tolerance). The food came out really quick and the servers were attentive and friendly.
Really low-key spot, I think I could have walked by it a million times without thinking about going in. My parents really wanted Chinese food though, so we found a spot nearby that looked decent, and it really didn't disappoint! The food is quite authentic here, so you can definitely order some of the less American Chinese dishes and have a great meal. We got the garlic string beans which were good, but probably could have been fried a bit longer. The fish in spicy broth was really good; strong flavors, fish was well seasoned, and overall great. The spicy wontons were too sweet for our taste, but still good. Overall, really solid spot for authentic Chinese food. Service was also really friendly and fast. Highly recommend!
Food, device, and amiace was perfect for a wonderful meal. Lots of delicious items. The dried string bean dish amazing.
