Szechuan Restaurants near Long Island City, NY

“great spot in LIC for authentic & delicious sichuan/hunan food! liam was our server & recommended the changsha spiced chicken and it was a hit! kevin, our bartender, let us sample his rosemary infused tequila, and it was the perfect way to the the meal. will definitely come back the next time i’m in the area :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“My first time at Hans Dynasty and the food was tasty.“

“Superb dining experience! I was provided a single table for myself without any hassle. The duck was crispy, generous portions, and the rice was well-cooked. I really favored the golden chopsticks and utensils. I asked to keep them but was told no, unfortunately. My only complaint was that it look nearly 25 minutes for the preparation of my meal.“

“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!“

“What a treasure! Everything we ate here was amazing, the lightest scallion pancake ever, the spiciest soft shell crab, tea smoked duck that was like the best Carolina barbecue ever. The bean curd with pepper oil. All of it. Cocktails were banging too. And the servers were all fantastic too. Even the ink was top shelf!“

“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 !“

“I absolutely love Fan Szechuan and I will gladly come way out of my way just to get my hands on their chicken lo mein. The flavor is incredible, perfectly savory, and easily some of the best noodles you can find around. That being said, trying to order from here can honestly be a bit of a nightmare. Calling them over the phone is gets tough at times because of language barriers and thick accents so you really have to be a patient kind of person, especially if you want substitutions or multiple items. It doesn't help that their online menu is outdated and they don't carry some of the items listed anymore. Also, if you want broccoli in your chicken lo mein, they get you with an extra charge. Fine and standard. However, even after paying extra, they only give you a comically trace amount of it. Seriously, you can count the pieces on one hand.
And yet, I completely forgive all of that. The food just tastes so great every single time that the minor headaches are totally worth it to me. If you want top-tier comfort food, just put up with the janky ordering process and get the chicken or vegetable lo mein. Can't go wrong with it.“

“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“

“We have been coming to Birds of a Feather for unbeatably delicious Sichuan food for years, and recently had our engagement party in the main room. We can't praise the event team, kitchen, and bar staff enough! The food was exceptional as always, and the service was wonderfully attentive and gracious. Plenty of options for vegetarian friends as well. Will continue to come back to Birds any time we want a perfect meal.“

“Be prepared for a wait. EXCELLENT FOOD!“

“Absolutely delighted that we are there. Food is absolutely delicious the duck was crispy and the amount of food was outstanding, we could not finish everything even when we tried.

Atmosphere was great and waiters are so nice and attentive, you would miss something by leaving nyc and not eat there !“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“Very good well done food.“

“Always wanted to try this place.

Let’s start with the pros. Definitely worth the hype. Make sure to get the egg burrata dip with extra fried dough. I would skip the truffle ravioli. It sounded interesting, but was just okay. We also got the peppercorn fish stew which is always staple. Overall, foodwise, I appreciated the play on italian Szechuan food, but I would definitely research a bit beforehand for what to order.

Okay, now the cons. I will say, I thought they were known for their cocktails, but they were just okay so I think you can skip these unless you want to pair.

My one other complaint was that this was our anniversary dinner and we did mention it in our resy reservation, so we were wondering if they would prepare a little something, but they didn’t even congratulate us. Pretty sure this was an oversight, but this was my nitpick and for these reasons I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5.

Otherwise, highly recommend coming here with a big group to try multiple dishes!“

“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.“

“Such a nice homey meal. The mapo tofu and garlic eggplant (both with beef) were so flavorful and well-made. The drinks are made in-house as well and were delicious. We came in around ~5:30pm and there was not wait although it’s a relatively small space. At 7pm it was full. The peppercorn ice cream was a highlight because it’s a flavor I haven’t seen or tried before in ice cream, you can feel the warmth of the spice without the actual spiciness! It was delightful. The service was kind and food came out fast. Overall, great experience! Very satisfied“

“Very good food and drinks 🍹“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 😄😛😋“

“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.“

“Very good chinese food with large portions. Very good service. We've been here many times and have brought many friends who have all enjoyed their experience as well. I will continue to come back and I suggest you should definitely give it a try. Their menu should not disappoint. We've tried a very large variety of their offerings and have always been very pleased with our choices. Enjoy!“

“This is the best vegan Chinese food I have had. So many options and sooo flavorful. The whole family loved the food and the service was also so great. Great atmosphere as well, love the lighting at night. I am recommending it to all my friends when they visit NYC“

“Started out with the duck, not bad, about what you world expect for a cold appetizer. The crawfish was really good, got all the flavor and such inside the meat and not just on the shells. My friend likes to drizzle the sauce on his rice but this one is a bit oily. The place is known for their fish and it is just that good. Really tender meat and crisp on the skin and fins. The soup really soaks up the flavor. Must add some enoki mushrooms. They are busy in the daily so come early or send a friend to wait in line for you.“
