I get takeout from here all the time and think it’s delicious. The MaPo tofu is delicious, as are the soup dumplings. The hot and sour soup isn’t the best, but good enough for when I have a taste for it. I’ve also had tasty dry pot and some other tasty dishes.
My family went there for new year eve dinner. Everything is delicious.
If you’re accustomed to Contonese, this is a nice variation to Chinese food. Very nice restaurant, very clean and good customer service. Also nice and clear menu in English. Try it yourself and taste the different flavors.
We were the only non-Chinese customers as we entered this place. It is somewhat small but comfortable. Reception very cordial as well as the service in general. The menu is extensive with dishes that I have not seen at other more Americanized Chinese restaurants. Fried kidney, frog, fried intestines (tripe), etc. we chose the spicy dishes. They were SPICY. Super quick service, excellent food. I recommend this place
Absolutely fantastic food and service. Can't wait to go back. Update: My daughter and I are planning a trip back just to go to this restaurant. It's that good.

Really good food and service. Wish they served wine, that would have been perfect
Enjoyed some perfectly cooked dumplings but some over oiled Kung Pao chicken here July 2022. The restaurant was clean and cozy with paper covering the table for cleanliness. The hostess was a pleasant elderly lady however we had two different male waiters they were both quite gruff and not friendly. During our approximate hour long 3pm meal we felt rushed and not the most welcome in a mostly empty restaurant. What makes this a four star experience was that for such a prime location the prices were fair, the food tasty, and the restaurant clean.
Restaurant is called Rong Cheng, contrary to the Google maps listing.Food was amazing! Best Szechuan food I've had in a long time. If you are in New York City, definitely try this place because it's going to beat your small-town Chinese restaurant by a lot. I recommend the baby eggplant, spicy beef tendon, and soup.Outstanding service, outstanding food, reasonable prices. I can't say enough good things about this place!
I heard a lot about this place and the judgements are so different so I went to this place for a try with my friend. Once I walk in and see the table cloth setting, I know it has to be American style Szechuan food. When the soup and dish is served, it verified my guess lol.Generally speaking, the food is average, if your taste is more Americanized, you will like it. If you like “Szechuan mountain” style restaurant, you will not like here.Environment and service are good. They also charge tips for tax too.
Shrimp fried rice had a decent amount of shrimp, and it was delish. Great service.

This place is the moment. Spicy Pork Dumplings are amazing. AMAZING. Orange chicken and sesame chicken - Major. The scallion pancakes are delicious. Overall great experience and I have had a lot of Asian food in NYC. Cleaned our plates.
There were basically no dishes that were Szechuan-specific - nothing even with Szechuan peppers - this just another Chinese restaurant. Got the Brisket with Chile Leeks, but every single piece of meat was just chewy fat!
Good food, good prices, great menu. I stopped out of curiosity with my sons. The food was very tasty with a great menu choice and very affordable prices.
I discovered this place back in 2008 and I absolutely adore it! Their food is always on point! Now I don't get down there like I used to I no longer work in the area but I went a few days ago and ordered something I had no business eating and thoroughly enjoyed it! Allergies and intolerances, be damned. Sometimes you just have to eat what you love. That food was good. The restaurant owner is also really cool. Listen I get that a lot of people are afraid of spicy food but go ahead and risk eating something from the authentic Szechuan menu, you won't regret it. Even if it seems a little bit out of what your everyday order is. I exclusively order from those items.
Overall this place was ok. It's possible that I/we got the wrong dishes but we did specifically go for Szechuan food. I ordered the spicy chicken which I wanted and it tasted almost chemical. The flavoring was just off for some reason, perhaps they put a unique seasoning or something that my palate isn't used to. I've had that exact dish elsewhere before and loved it. So, who knows. Else, rest of the plates we got were pretty generic and were good. Nothing I'd go out of my way for but would return if in the area. Staff were nice
