Szechuan Restaurants in Brooklyn, NY

“The soft shell crab with tomato and egg sauce was easily one of my favorite dishes I’ve had recently! The crab was perfectly crispy, and the rich, silky tomato egg sauce worked so well with it. The portion was surprisingly generous too, with four whole soft shell crabs. The beef stew was tender with a nice kick of spice, and the salted egg yolk shumai was another pleasant surprise. The grilled fish was well seasoned, tender, and not fishy at all. The space has a cozy, slightly moody vibe that works well for a date night. Portions were generous overall, and we ended up taking some leftovers home. I’d happily come back just for the soft shell crab!“

“Excellent Service Great Customer service! Good food !“

“Very good food and drinks 🍹“

“Solid stuff but not as mind blowing as the other reviews say (though this depends if you’ve had good Chinese food before).

Fish was solid but a little too heavy on the batter to fish ratio. Eggplant was simple but good. The silken tofu was really solid texturally - might’ve been the standout dish for our meal.“

“Really enjoy this place. Food comes out fast, and it's always fresh and spicy, if you like a kick, this is a solid spot for it.

Only gripe: white rice costs extra. Come on, it's rice! Docking one point for that alone.

4/5 stars, would still recommend.“

“Ma po tofu (with meat, the women sitting next to us got it with mushroom and we felt so fortunate we stuck to the classic because they were complaining about the flavor), garlic string beans, fried rice, Dan Dan noodles. Can’t go wrong with their version of the classics.“

“Ok, this place is an experience. Now with the all the chichi restaurants, Mama's is a break. It's a hole in the wall, mom and pop, home made style like you hadn't tasted before in other established restaurants. I feel I am in China and trying out their local foods. Their pot stickers are huge full of meat. The special Mama's noodle is full of surprises. I liked the way that we went there with 3, she pulled out the only table in there and clear the stuff on it and made it a dining table for us. The owner is very friendly and chatty. She told us they use the best Japanese made rice cooker and German made knives. If you want a homey and unusual experience. Drop by when you are in the hoods.“

“Initially wanted to go to a different spot for skewers, but stumbled upon this place instead since there were so many people lined up outside! Not the best skewers I’ve had but we did notice a lot of people ordering the crawfish and decided to order one, and it did not disappoint! So juicy and flavorful, I wish I could try some of the other flavors!! Staff were extremely quick to service and the ambiance is nice and loud haha perfect spot for late night snack/meal with friends!“

“First time here food amazing will be back“

“Excellent food, but the service is what truly made this place stand out. My friend unexpectedly had to take a phone call, and since the restaurant was quiet, the staff kindly turned off the music so he could hear. When he was done, they even reheated his meal without us asking.

That kind of genuine thoughtfulness is rare these days. Great food, wonderful people, and exceptional hospitality. Highly recommend supporting this restaurant—we’ll definitely be back!“

“I had the Szechuan spicy pot. It was so delicious, the perfect spice level, and generously portioned full of delicious fresh vegetables (orange cauliflower, carrots, mushroom, zucchini, snap peas, AND bamboo shoots). An incredible break from boring takeout noodles. YUM“

“My family and I ate dinner there last night. The food was all delicious! Our server was great. Actually, everyone working was great. I liked that we were asked if anyone had any food allergies. Our cocktails lived up to their descriptions. I definitely will be returning to Red Bowl!“

“Delicious mapo tofu (vegetarian)! I got the lunch special that came with rice and a soup. The mapo tofu is made with Szechuan peppercorn so it's numbing on the tongue. I got takeout and thought it was very considerate of them to put the entree in a plastic bag.

Edit: I got it again and it was lacking in spiciness and salt so this dish is a hit or miss!!“

“It’s a hole in the wall Chinese place with great prices and great food. The A + B special is borderline customer robbery and the women behind the counter is a always friendly if you are. I visit here 1-2 times per week and will continue doing so.“

“Everything about this place is a 10/10 experience. The food was amazing, the restaurant is clean, and the service was some of the best I have ever seen. I will highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing dining experience, or looking for delicious food for takeout.“

“Everything is good“

“Best Chinese foodRecommend Blk Pepper Chicken/Gen. Tso Chicken/Shrimp Pad Thai noodles/String beans in Garlic Sauce.7/11 I'm adding to this review.As I said before food is good but I'm noticing that pad Thai noodles is chintzy on the shrimp and chicken. I call them back to say so and now I'm told "what do you expect? How much chicken should go in with the noodles." I responded back " it shouldn't be a portion for a baby. I don't need to pay $10.25 for a box of noodles with dime size pieces of meat. I also let them know that I'm going to write a review on this. So goodbye Panko, your loss plus referrals. ?“
