John W: Chili cucumber salad is a refreshing start; potato shogo momos are a must; tsak sha la kor hot is a hearty oxtail soup rife with sichuan peppercorns.
Eater: There’s blood sausage, meaty curries, the ragged noodles called thenthuk, and don’t miss the wiggly mung-bean jelly laphing, carpeted with Sichuan peppercorns. [Eater 38 Member]

Village Voice: Voted to have the Best Freaky Fries in 2006, try the fried potato in hot sauce – dusted with Sichuan peppercorns. Read more.
Peter Cucè: The best Sichuan in NYC. Get the whole fish w/ minced pork, spicy cold noodle, preserved egg, ox tongue & tripe, griddled mushroom & preserved pork, any of the soups & more.
Village Voice: This may be the most spice-intensive Sichuan food the city has. We love the fried potato in hot sauce & the pork meatballs in garlic sauce, but while you're out here, try the chicken in Sichuan sauce.

Curt Haase: Very fresh!! The General Tso's chicken was tender, perfectly spicy, and not at all greasy! The egg rolls were NOT all cabbage, which is a very good thing!! The steamed dumplings were likewise tasty!!!
Erica Kobrin: Great Chinese in a hidden area :)
Ant Velez: This place doesn't use MSG, so their food always tastes better than others. Plus, service is fast and the location is clean. Can't be beat!
