Szechuan Restaurants in New York, NY

“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!“

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

“This restaurant is a nice place to take your date for something special or to take friends to have food together! The food here is a bit on the spicier side, but I would highly recommend trying the peking duck! It was so delicious! Also we would recommend the sweet and sour pork ribs, they were packed full of flavor and super tender! The sweet and sour fish was also very delicious - if you are into seafood, would highly recommend this!“

“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“

“We went for drinks. They were serious about having the table for 90 minutes and then having us go. We were there at 7pm. It was for five people, they graciously let two others join for the last 10 minutes before we were to leave.

Paid top $ for my own drink creation which didn't hit the spot but their combinations sure do.

Nice speakeasy setup.“

“I am obsessed with sichuan food, and found this place to be delicious! I was dining solo, so I was only able to try one dish, but the dry pot chicken was phenomenal. Juicy chicken, tasty vegetables, and strong-but-not-overwhelming spice. You will not regret a visit here.“

“Be prepared for a wait. EXCELLENT FOOD!“

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

“Great atmosphere, quality decor. Authentic menu. We wanted some quality Chinese whilst in NYC. Drinks menu great cocktails and Pilsner. Cucumber starter and BBQ Spare ribs starter are amazing. peking duck and the Chicken in blackbean and dry chilli chicken - amazing!“

“Hospitality AAA FOOD AA PRICE A“

“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.“

“First time here food amazing will be back“

“Everything is good“

“Never disappoints. Excellent food. Always packed“

“This spot has an extensive menu, fantastic prices, large servings, and an inviting atmosphere! Some of the more American style Chinese items (Kung Pao, General Tzo’s, and fried rice) can be ordered and come out extremely quickly (our table neighbors order some of these items and they came out in under 10 minutes!). We ordered the Garlic Sauce Style tofu, Scallion Style chicken, and Chili Oil Pork Dumplings. Everything was super delicious and we would definitely order it all again!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“Delicious food, great staff, friendly service.“

“Very good well done food.“

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

“It's a quirky and inviting restaurant for cozy dinner. Highly recommend for vegetarians / vegans.
The Dan Dan noodles are must order and chilli oil wantons were also good. Staff will nicely help to toss and mix noodles in front of you.
Staff is really helpful and recommends food as per your taste.“

“I got the spicy beef noodle soup and the dumplings in chili oil. I thought the soup was decent. I would have preferred it spicer and there wasn't a ton of beef in it. The broth wasn't super rich, but still had decent flavors. One of my favorite things about the soup were the pickled(?) bamboo shoots. It was actually probably my favorite thing in the soup! The dumplings were really good! The chili oil was another star of the meal and I ended up added some into my soup for more spice and flavor.“

“As an ABC who’s living away from home, I just crave good spicy Chinese food and let me tell you that I have dreams of their hot and sour glass noodles paired with the beef green pepper soup sometimes. Especially in this nasty cold weather, sometimes you just need a nice hot and spicy pick me up. Peppercorn station has been one of my favorite go-to spots for Szechuan food since I moved to the city for work. Literally it’s smack down in the middle of the city and is extremely close to work so it’s a no brainer. Hard to find good authentic Szechuan Chinese food in Hell’s Kitchen or Midtown but peppercorn makes it so easy. Please do yourself a favor and get the crab meat tofu, beef green pepper, garlic pea shoots, and HOT AND SOUR GLASS NOODLES. Also for a Chinese restaurant, the service and speed is extremely on point and never have had a bad experience. Will keep supporting good local businesses like this and yall should too.“

“You get honest value for your dining dollars. The meals here taste great, cost less than most places and the employees are nice. Service is good, no complaints at all. The flavors here are noteworthy. This spot makes social dining enjoyable with quality options.“

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

“LOVE LOVE LOVE OLLIE’s !! The food is always consistently great!! #LoveChineseFood Super friendly staff!!!“

“We ordered a couple of pork dishes - no surprise there. Actually, we had pork dumplings first, so make that three pork dishes. Dumplings were good, a bit of a challenge to eat. Fun. Shredded pork Peking style was just the right spice level. Moo Shu pork dish also very nice. Pancakes really good.“

“Spicy, spicy and spicy!
You will absolutely fall in love with the numbing spice and tingling of the Sichuan peppercorns.
Bomb level of spice paired with a very flexible menu is the recipe for a hearty meal.
Spicy Dry Hot Pot is their signature bestselling dish, worth the after effects of the spiciness.
The food will definitely make you come back again and again. I am sure to visit this restaurant once more pretty soon.“

“We call this amazing little restaurant downstairs our “home kitchen”. It’s so cozy, with truly authentic Xi’an cuisine, the best in town, hands down. They’ve been consistently delivering top-quality dishes at such affordable prices for so long. The staff is incredibly kind and hardworking, and their food is always prepared with care and heart. I often come here on weekdays to eat alone, and it instantly grounds me, the comforting flavors make me feel right at home.“

“Such a staple. Especially for Szchzean fix.
Hot& sour soup, mapo tofu, fried rice can't go wrong.
Did have shots of namesake Wu Liang Ye now priced $20. Chaser Tsingtao of course. Deadly night drinking much water afterwards. But, when seldom comes, why not splurge.“

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

“Awesome scallion pancakes, hot and sour soup, and chicken fried rice. We eat here as soon as we land from Saint Louis each time we visit NYC. Staff is extremely attentive and always on top of anything you need.“

“I have been coming here since I was a child when they were still at their old location and it has remained my favorite Chinese restaurant. The food is always delicious and consistent. The shredded sesame chicken, scallion pancakes, and hot and sour soup are my go to dishes but everything on the menu is wonderful! The white tablecloths and beautiful atmosphere make the dining experience feel special, and the servers are always warm and caring. I leave every time feeling happy, full, and grateful this place is still just as good as ever! How many other restaurants can you say that about?“

“the Food Is Amazing wait staff on point great environment. highly recommend this place to anyone that's in New York City“

“We stopped by Dim Sum Chelsea on a cold and wet day to get a snack and take a break after a lot of walking around. The restaurant was fairly slow and service was very attentive and friendly. We just wanted a nibble so we only tried the Lotus Rice and the Crab and Spinach dumplings paired with a shared bottle of hot sake. The food was hot and flavorful, the crab and spinach dumplings were juicy but my favorite was the lotus rice that was stuffed with a seasoned meat mixture. I only recently discovered this dish and now its a favorite! I would love to come back to try more dumplings if I'm ever back in the area.“

“Good ambient Good food Great services love this restaurants“

“This is a lovely, family owned restaurant in the UES. We had a party of 6 women, all good friends, who hadn't seen each other in a long time. As requested, they sat us in an alcove area which was quiet enough to talk. We were obviously had a lot to discuss, because we arrived at 6:30p and and were the last patrons to leave! The food was delicious! We began with a complimentary bowl of candied peanuts and sesame noodles as an appetizer. We then had 2 orders of Peking Duck, 1 beef and broccoli, a side of sauteed snow pea shoots and some vegetable dumplings. No one was disappointed and almost all of the food was devoured. The restaurant is located nearby to where I usually stay when I visit NYC, so I will definitely be back! It's perfect for eat in and they also do a good take out business. I highly recommend that you try Wa Jeal for a very exceptional and satisfying Chinese meal.“

“great service excellent food“

“Good food and beautiful decor. The service is very good too.“

“my daughter in law were in Manhattan for the day and we stopped in for lunch...it was a great experience from start to finish...I ordered the bass with hot bean sauce...it was Perfect! everyone was very polite and attentive, will definitely come back again...nice job gentlemen“

“Our favorite restaurant in UWS. The service is great. We 💗 the food with a friendly ambiance. The restaurant is clean and goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience.“

“Hunan Village offers a wide variety of vegetable options, including sautéed water spinach with garlic, sautéed spinach with garlic, and mixed vegetables. As a vegan, I appreciate how easy it is to find delicious plant-based dishes on their menu. I also have several special requests when ordering, such as less oil, less salt, no soy sauce, and no MSG. The staff always accommodates my needs, and my food consistently arrives prepared exactly as I requested. On top of that, the prices are very affordable. For their excellent service, attention to detail, and great value, I happily give Hunan Village a five-star review.“

“I’m from this area and moved to Miami, which has no Szechuan Chinese. On a trip back to NYC, we went to China River based on location and reviews and it was TERRIFIC. If you are from NY or North Jersey, you know what to expect — spicy shredded beef, scallion pancakes, even delish basics like chicken and broccoli. Everything was exactly as it should be. We went back a second time before heading to JFK for the flight back to Florida.“

“The best Chinese food I’ve ever had“

“When I came in from the outside I thought it looked like 1 of those sketchy places you see in a strip mall on the highway. When I sat down I was happy too see that the waitress came quickly and efficiently brought the food out quickly aswell. I ordered the chicken fried rice and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend going here on a date. The only thing keeping this place from a 5 is there above average prices.“

“Food was on point! Best I've ever had any where I've gone. Will be making this a must stop, every year when we visit!“

“Best Chinese around Sutton Place! And the lunchtime menu remains a standout bargain. Can get a little crowded at midday, but it's worth it.“

“After living in NYC for 42 years I can honestly say this restaurant is the best. I always have such a pleasant experience on the phone when ordering takeout. The person is always so warm and sweet. The food arrives fairly quick and the food is always good. I’ve had Chinese restaurants where they yell on the phone and are so rude. Not this place. When the people are so nice, it makes you want to only buy from them and support their business. Highly recommend!“
