I had a wonderful dining experience at Caotang. The food was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. My favorite dish was the fresh pepper fish. The fish was incredibly tender and soaked up the savory, aromatic sauce perfectly. The spicy frog was also delicious, with juicy meat and a bold peppery kick. I also enjoyed the stir-fried beef, which was tender and well seasoned. Every dish had its own character, and the spice level was exciting without overwhelming the flavors....read full review
The food is really delicious and fresh. Also, people there are extremely nice, they care about customers’ experience. We will be back!
CAOTANG is hands down one of the best Sichuan restaurants on the Upper East Side! The Boiled Fish with Fresh Green Peppers was incredibly tender with the perfect spicy kick, and the Stir-Fried Pork Kidney was fresh, crispy, and full of wok hei. The Salt & Pepper Shrimp Balls were crispy outside, juicy inside, and great even if you don't eat spicy food. We also loved the Baby Napa Cabbage Soup—it was huge, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. We'll definitely be back!
