Grand Sichuan
“Chicken lo mein was delicious, as was the Gui Zhou spicy chicken (which really wasn't too spicy, for all the weaklings out there).”
“The Chong Qing Dry and Spicy Chicken was not very spicy, even though half of the dish was dried hot peppers and peppercorn.”
“I also like the dan dan noodle, pretty authentic, unlike many other Sichuan restaurant that put heavy peanut sauce on it.”

This is my favorite Sichuan restaurant in NYC. Their sweet and sour fish (song zi Yu) is amazing and I always order it. I also like the dan dan noodle, pretty authentic, unlike many other Sichuan restaurant that put heavy peanut sauce on it. Most dishes are pretty good, but the Hunan dish such as hui Guo ruo shouldn't be ordered here. I recommend only order Sichuan dishes.
It's on at mark and around NYU. After I graduated, haven't got a chance to come back 🙁
I came in early afternoon with some family friends. I've heard about this place many times before, and I'm a little snobbish when it comes to chinese food especially sichuan food. I really need it authentic or else i'll just hate on it hard. I was pleasantly surprised at how well everything turned out. We had a lot of requests for the waiter such as making sure the dishes weren't too spicy and the string beans not too dry. The requests were met pretty well except some of the dishes still might have been too spicy for some of my family friends, but I guess some of the dishes you can only dull so much without taking away from the recipe itself and the taste. We order chong qing chicken, string breans, spicy whole fish and this lamb pieces with onions dish. I was a bit skeptical about the lamb dish because I've never heard of a sichuan restaurant making a good one, but when I tried it, it was really delicious! It was really tender and full of the sichuan flavor
came here for valentines day dinner and ordered a variety of things. service was fast, not attentive, but when you got their attention they quickly responded.
we ordered-
pork soup dumplings- pretty good. it was nice that the soup didn't burn my mouth immediately
spare ribs- big ribs, nicely seared
dan dan noodles- hot spicy and full of flavor, one of my favorites of the meal
general tso's- bf said he's had better else where
Gui Zhou Spicy Chicken- really good, chicken was so crispy with just the right amount of spice
overall they rocked in the sichuan specialities. i'd come back here again for those dan dan noodles. prices were a bit above average, particularly on the dumplings. this was offset by the cheap glasses of house red ($6.50).
This is a solid place. Eaten here a couple of times, and ordered for delivery recently. First off – they deliver soup dumplings, which is rare (normally only allow eat-in), so that's a huge plus. On the flip side, their soup dumplings are decent, but not great. A far cry from some of the other options in New York. Don't contain quite enough soup, and taste a little like just a standard pork dumplings.
I've had the chicken with garlic sauce and the twice cooked pork. The pork is delicious. Possibly the best I've had. Really flavorful and the pork itself is prepared perfectly. The chicken with garlic sauce is subpar. Although spicy, the dish is a little bland and uninteresting. Comes with a lot more veggies than chicken, although that is pretty standard.
Overall this is a good place if you're in the area, however may not be worth making a trip like some other Chinese places. Also a note about the sichuan food – I've found that places that are more traditional use sichuan peppercorn in almost every dish and this place doesn't. I actually don't like sichuan peppercorn at all so this a positive for me, but that's just a personal preference.
Pretty good spot to stop in for a meal!
Service is always friendly and efficient, and food is reasonably priced.
It's not my first choice in the area, but it's good choice f you've got a group – lots of room at this place!
Good dumplings!
Really not impressed with food from here after recent meal. My friend said this place was kool so I believed her….duhhhhhh she is 21 what does she know about food geees.
Plus she is vegetarian and I am a carnivore – subliminal wanna be vegetarian sometimes..Lol I looked at menu and decided on Mei Fun with Vegetable Fried Rice what a friggin joke.
When ordering I told the waiter let me have the mei fun with vegetable fried rice..he said no….I was like what …I said again the Mei Fun #33 with finger pointed to Vegetable Fried Rice which you get choice of different types of rice he said no….what the fuck is this the 3 stooges you dumb m****r f****r..But then I said oooohh give me Vegetable Mei Fun he was like ok.
The meal was not great they dont even put any rice in the dish or like having it served on the side. I dont care if this is american chinese…chinese chinese….mexican chinese…this place sucks. There was no rice in the meal what a complete fail and rip off!!!!
I got my left overs to go and gave it too a homeless person cause why waste food that was paid for. The scallion pancakes were another joke oily and small.
There are much better places in the area to be served decent food for the same price they charge here.
Pass Pass Pass save your time and money avoid this place at all costs!!!
This place was good for standard chinese food – I liked the king pao chicken, fried rice and bok Choy. Wished it was on the spicier side though. Also, the alcohol is subpar so save yourself the calories there.
I am very picky when it comes to authentic Asian food, especially Chinese but this place tasted just like back in the mainland! We ordered the pork soup dumplings to start, beef chow fun, beer duck, pork belly, and sliced beef to share amongst three people. The serving size was very generous, we had more than enough and even leftovers.
The soup dumplings were good, but the skin was a little thicker than normal, but that made it a little easier to eat as it didn't pop with the slightest touch. The duck and sliced beef were cooked in a spicy oily sauce making it very authentic and quite tasty (I wish it was a little spicier), all the meat were cooked to perfection where they were soft but not overdone. For the food I would give it a 5 star but the service was a little slow and in the end it seemed as the waiters were trying to rush us out, but that could have been because of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner rush. But I will definitely be back!
