Little Pepper

I ordered Yangzhou Fried Rice, which was great, plus the Beef with Broccoli, which I asked via the Uber Eats app to make not spicy, plus asked for utensils. The Beef arrived swimming in hot sauce with bits of hot peppers, and no utensils. Please read the instructions next time!

Very, very highly recommended. A fish-flavored eggplant conquered me.😃

This continues to be my favorite Sichuan restaurant. Their beef cumin and eggplant dishes are my go to dishes. This is a 2-person small business so some patience is required. Enjoy a leisurely chat and meal with friends and family. There is a well-maintained spacious bathroom in the restaurant too!

First time trying and did take out. Solid spicy beef noodle soup though I wish there was more beef and choy hence minus the star. I’d pay extra to have more beef.

I have to say I was pretty disappointed with the food. The Sliced Pork Belly w. Chili Garlic Sauce was actually sweet, which threw me off. I lost interest after just one bite. The so-called “paper-wrapped lamb” was really just cumin lamb served on a piece of foil. It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t particularly good either, and it was quite salty. The biggest letdown was the mapo tofu. The tofu had no flavor at all, and the sauce wasn’t numbing or spicy. Mapo tofu is supposed to be one of the signature dishes of Sichuan cuisine, and seeing it done so poorly was honestly frustrating. The rest of the dishes were more or less acceptable, but the fish had a noticeably not-so-fresh texture. Ironically, the best thing I had was the simple scallion fried rice, though even that was a bit salty.
On the bright side, the owner clearly has some artistic talent, all the paintings in the restaurant were his own work.

Authentic Sichuan food. If you like Fuchsia Dunlop’s Fin and Peppercorn, and love Sichuan Food, you just try this.

Feeling lucky to try out before they close.. the owner told us they are about to retire. If u r around the area, visit once for authentic Chinese food! Plus, super nice pricy.

I had high hopes for Little Pepper based on the recommendations, but my experience was extremely disappointing. The service was slow and inattentive, with staff seeming uninterested in helping. The food was bland and lacked the authentic flavors I was expecting. The portions were small for the price, and the overall atmosphere felt cramped and uncomfortable. I won't be returning and wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a quality dining experience. Extremely slow service, even when there’s so one at the restaurant eating. I can see why people are going elsewhere. Not sure if they found someone new to work the kitchen or sold it off to someone else but the food quality and portions have been reduced greatly.

Although I don’t get to come often, I really enjoy eating here. My advice would be to have patience and flexibility as it’s a true family run business with a mom and pop team running everything. I do appreciate that they will let you know when food will take longer- have a cold beer or some house tea while you wait for delicious food.
I am not an expert but I’ve traveled to China for work a few times and the food here takes me back to there, authentic and delicious!

Little Pepper: A Hidden Gem in Whitestone

Little Pepper is a delightful, unassuming restaurant nestled in Whitestone. Street parking was readily available on a Saturday morning. The clean interior and friendly service created a welcoming atmosphere. Our server was exceptionally patient, especially with my son's enthusiasm for authentic Szechuan cuisine.

We were thoroughly impressed by every dish we ordered, particularly the mapo tofu and chicken with three type of mushrooms. Even as someone who isn't a fan of spicy food, I found plenty of delicious options to enjoy.

Without a doubt, Little Pepper is highly recommended. We'll definitely be returning to savor more of their fantastic food.
