Szechuan Restaurants near Long Island City, NY

“This is a nice restaurant that has traditional Hunan, Sichuan, and Chinese American Cuisine. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful and very early 1900’s style Chinese restaurant fashion almost like being in San Francisco.. The food is very good. The staff is very nice. The portions are just great. On the more expensive side to bring your credit cards 💳. It’s like taking a history lesson in Chinese food in America. Give this place to try if you’re in the area we will definitely be going back.“

“I was craving some dumplings and I walked by Chairman Sun and saw their menu had just what I wanted!

The Pork Soup Dumplings were a 5/5. Full of flavor and the perfect texture. The soy sauce and flavor of the pork matched perfectly.

My Scallion Cucumber salad was a perfect flavor profile for me as a I love a garlic moment. The dressing was drinkable…and the cucumber cuts were hardy and a perfect fresh bite.

Lastly, the spring rolls, solid and great flavor.

Kind staff and great ambience.

Loved my time here!“

“I’ve been eating here since it opened and this place literally never fails to deliver on amazing flavor that wakes up the tastebuds. Ingredients are all high quality. 3 pepper chicken packs a good punch, beef with silken tofu is delicious, and their duck fried rice is amazing.“

“Great place to go. The food was excellent, the ambiance is also very nice, with the space being much larger than I expected. Service was also top notch,I would definitely recommend to anyone. Looking forward to returning to try other dishes!“

“If you're craving hot pot in the LIC area, this is a solid choice. Price obviously depends how much you get; dining as a party of 4, we spent around $50pp. Everything can be requested or ordered via the iPad (including a call service button), so there's limited direct contact with staff. I like how they provide bags for jackets to make sure not ALL of your possessions come out of the restaurant smelling like hotpot.

While it makes sense to have a big table to hold all of our ingredients, I felt the distance from one end to the table to the other was large! We had to raise our voices to talk to each other.

The sauce bar has the essentials as well as 2 side dishes (altho I don't remember what they were, I didn't end up getting them) and orange slices (we ate those at the end of the meal).

There is only one bathroom for the entire restaurant, so there was a bit of a line when I had to go.“

“Compared to a few years ago, a few of the menu classics from Kawasanja are still there!And then the surprise is that there are a lot of new dishes too!“

“Loved the ambience in this great little find! Having traveled to Sichuan province, I can attest that the food really has authentic flavors (albeit kinder to the American palette). The Juju cocktail is outstanding. Would definitely come back to this place try other dishes.“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“Great, delicious food! Beautiful setting. Great Service.“

“The food was delicious and the service was excellent. When the waiter heard that it was my birthday today, he gave me a cute and practical gift. I felt very happy. Thanks.“

“Chi Restaurant & Bar is incredible! We came in with a large party and they accommodated us perfectly, which meant we got to try almost everything on the menu. The food tasted totally authentic, yet somehow still fresh and fun. Seriously, it felt like every single dish we ordered topped the last one! The duck was absolutely fantastic, and the dim sum and veggies were just as amazing. Whatever you do, definitely don’t skip out on the cute desserts at the end. It's an awesome spot for a group dinner with top-tier food.“

“Food was great and the servers are very attentive, the place is welcoming, I l really like the atmosphere there. Food portions are large which is good. The cocktails are the best! I like everything from this place! Very recommend it“

“Food, service & atmosphere was top notch. Highly recommend! 5⭐️“

“Excellent Service Great Customer service! Good food !“

“Hands down the best Peking duck in NYC—Eater wasn't kidding! The skin was perfectly crispy and the meat so tender, wrapped in thin pancakes with sweet bean sauce and fresh cucumber. We also loved the spicy diced chicken (so addictive!) and the tableside mapo tofu that arrived bubbling hot. Everything was flavorful, well-portioned, and service was smooth.“

“LOVED this place! I am extremely picky about fresh Chinese food and this restaurant really delivered. Every dish was wonderfully seasoned - no thick or “old” tasting sauces. Service was excellent and the restaurant was clean and well kept. Highly recommend !“

“William is incredible! Ye’s has been on our list for awhile and we got the chance today to wander in. We wanted a quick drink to celebrate the sun. William guided us in the right direction <3 we had the HK milk punch, Sichuan old fashioned, wings, and money bag dumplings. Perfect way to start the evening and everything was delicious. Come try the baiju for a unique liquor experience.“

“Hospitality AAA FOOD AA PRICE A“

“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.“

“Shrimp with crispy peppers and peanuts and pork cooked in soy sauce with egg“

“Be prepared for a wait. EXCELLENT FOOD!“

“What a great find!!! Place was cool inside, food was yummy, we liked it a lot. Staff were friendly and nice. We will definitely go back.“

“I was there at Jian Nan Syosset, Long Island. Everything went great!! But, those took the orders needed to be more educated to understand each dishes. We were a fairly larger group than standard party size. Some dished were small and some dim sum served with small quantities, like 3 or 4. Those who order for the large group, should give suggestion to order multiple orders for the same dish. So, each one in the group can have at least one.“

“The food is amazing. Very clean and cool vibes.“

“Shan is where you go when you want to do anything from grab a casual meal to celebrate a milestone in life. They also deliver which randomly takes a long time but it’s so good you don’t care when that food hits your mouth. Shan is a household word which we judge all other eating experiences by.
We ❤you Shan.“

“By Antidote was an absolute treat! We got the Century Egg w/ Burrata Cheese, Tea-Smoked Duck Fried Rice, Crab Tofu, Crab & Pork Soup Dumplings, Green Peppercorn Fish Stew, Mapo Tofu, and Spicy Cumin Lamb.

The first three were easily my favorite dishes, although I feel like the Crab Tofu could use a bit more flavor. The Green Peppercorn Fish Stew was yum but not amazing in my opinion. The Mapo Tofu and Spicy Cumin Lamb were tasty but definitely way too spicy for me lol.

This spot is a must-go for great Chinese fusion cuisine.“

“I used Trip Advisor to get me here and everything reviewers had said was true. Authentic Sichuan food and, for a person like myself, dining solo, a great appetizer menu. I was happy to take the server’s recommendations and they were right. And for midtown Manhattan it was reasonably priced.

Delicious“

“Great food, everything it’s delicious !!!“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“Very good well done food.“

“Never disappoints. Excellent food. Always packed“

“Everything is good“

“Chongqing Chicken is great!“

“Great authentic food. Really enjoyed it.“

“Hands down probably the best Chinese food in the city. I could eat here everyday.“

“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.“

“Very good food and drinks 🍹“

“Great fresh noodles, good balance of ingredients, tasty soup base, efficient and friendly service.“

“Pig Heaven is an absolute gem! The food was packed with flavor, the portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh and perfectly prepared. The staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The cozy atmosphere made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for delicious Chinese food and outstanding service, Pig Heaven is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend!“

“First time here food amazing will be back“

“Absolutely loved this meal! The green pepper fish was fresh and tender, with a rich, tangy broth and a wonderful peppery aroma. The fish slices were delicate and soaked up all the flavors beautifully. The spicy beef was another highlight, packed with bold chili flavor and topped generously with scallions. The beef was tender, juicy, and incredibly satisfying with rice. Both dishes had completely different flavor profiles, so they complemented each other perfectly. Portions were very generous and everything arrived fresh and beautifully presented. A fantastic choice for anyone who enjoys flavorful Sichuan-style dishes. I would definitely order again!“

“The food is consistently fresh and tasty. So happy to have an excellent Szechwan restaurant in a neighborhood where good Chinese cuisine is sorely lacking.“

“I highly recommend their famous pork spicy appetizer. It was our 4th times in this place. I would say their meat is high quality because you can tell from the flavor itself. This is our couples favorite Sichuan place. Tonight, we tried SeaBass Mala it was delicious but too spicy but we’ve finish it 😄😛😋“

“The fish is always fresh, and it’s great that you can customize the options to add extra ingredients that you want. The service is also good. They also give you free homemade soda when you order above a certain amount. This is our go-to spot when we crave this type of fish dish.“

“Magnificent!!! While I was eating, I pictured the Chef's walking down the steps of the Tibetan mountains, like Avatars!😂 (Eyes lit up and all😂) God Blessed🙏😎. Thank you. I will definitely be back again.“

“When I moved to NYC, this is one of my first restaurants I tried and it’s been my favorite ever since. I always get the green beans and an ube mule. For a tofu dish, I either get the mapo tofu or dry pepper style. The food comes out so quick and is best shared — that way you can try more! Updated from previous review on 2026-08-15“

“Han Dynasty is one of my go-to restaurants for quality Chinese food in NYC. It is not a hole-in-the-wall establishment like many of the other Chinese restaurants in the city (not that there’s anything wrong with that). The space is large and comfortable, and the food is consistently delicious with very good drink options. The price point is also reasonable considering the location. I like how the menu specifies the spice level of each dish on a scale of 1-10, although I find the calibration to be more American rather than Szechuan spice levels, no surprise. But if you need a real hit just ask for an 11 and the chef will deliver.“

“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!“

“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.“
