Well, well, well. I have been looking for this dish ever since Michael’s Noodles closed in Rockville. The dish is a crispy fried chicken morsel with a slight bit of sauce. Lots pf peppers and a heat that
hits you after you take a bite. Lots
of chilis(don’t eat them or your tummy will be very angry). This dish is not the typical Americanized Chinese food. If you like a bit of heat and authentic Sichuan Chinese flavor, you will love this dish.

Not an ad, not exaggerating—Chef Lee’s Element is truly one of the best choices out there. The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, the service is great, and the environment (especially after the renovation) is excellent. For us, this isn’t a place we visit just to “check in” or try once; it has basically become our cafeteria.

This is easily the best authentic Szechuan place within a 15 mile radius. I had the fish in fire sauce. Thick and opaque with chili oil and topped with fresh green Szechuan peppercorns. I had the flounder filets but they even have imported northern snakehead fish if you want to pay for it. There were numerous interesting dishes that we will return to try! The atmosphere was very neat and modern and the service was attentive and friendly.
