This seriously might be my favorite restaurant in New York City. I like to think that in my past life, I was from Sichuan, China because my palate matches their cuisine perfectly.
I always get sick of repeatedly going to the same restaurant but for some reason, I can never get sick of this one. It's so good. It's such a hidden gem!
I ALWAYS order the mung bean noodle appetizer, which is fresh and delicious. It has those mung bean noodles with a salty chili sauce. Save the sauce for your rice later in the meal. My party always orders the large spicy fish soup. Honestly, I've ordered it over a dozen times and I don't even know what it's called. That's kind of embarrassing but if you say big spicy fish soup they will know what you're talking about. It comes in a huge tin bowl and it's my favorite. The fish is soft, the tofu, napa cabbage, bean sprouts are all so amazing. If you think your stomach can handle it, have just a little bit of the soup. It has so many chilis in there so it could really upset your stomach, even if it doesn't TASTE spicy. I also LOVE the salt and pepper squid.
This place is a hole in the wall or a mom and pop restaurant but damn those it bring the quality and taste you would not expect. I wish this place was more famous but then again I like it because it is unknown to so many. However, if you are looking for some spicy food and you are in the area then head over to Grand Sichuan House for some awesome food.
I went there with a few friends and we ordered the Spicy Cumin Lamb, Spicy Wontons, Dan Dan Noodles, and the Dry Sauteed Pig Intestine. Wow was I surprised but every single dish. The spicy wonton which they leave in their homemade spicy chili oil with garlic and some unknown spices left me wanting more. The spicy cumin lamb was delicious and I felt myself coming back for more every single time. I was sad when we finished it as quickly as we did. They had to keep the menu out of my hand from ordering another one. The Dry Sauteed Pig Intestine was by far the best dish of the day. They know how to clean and cook it well where it is crispy, salty, and spicy all in one. Reminding me so much of a cross between bacon and a chorizo. The Dan Dan Noodles were good and I can see why people love it so much. There was a nice coating of minced meat and spices that left me wanting more and more until it was all done.
My only regret about this place is why I did not order more dishes to try. I was not disappointed and actually want to try all their dishes now. Please come here ASAP if you love spicy food and are not afraid to try new flavors and dishes.
Recommendation:
Dan Dan Noodles
Dry Sauteed Pig Intestine
Spicy Cumin Lamb
Spicy Wonton
Some friends and I didn't feel like waiting in line at Mister Hot Pot or one of the Sunset Park dim sum places, so opted for sichuan instead. So glad we did. It seems like they do a lot of takeout and delivery orders, so seating wasn't a problem, and we didn't feel rushed. Everything we ordered was delicious — I would absolutely recommend the soft shell crab. The photos look intimidating, but despite the overload of chilis, it was the perfect amount of tingly, numbing spice. Aside from that, everything was solid — the eggplant in garlic sauce was a personal favorite (though one friend thought it was on the mushy side). The dining room is pretty bland, but the staff was quick and friendly. Overall, great experience.
This is the best Chinese food in Bay Ridge.
This is not the same old Americanized fast food that you'll find everywhere. It's different and higher quality. I won't claim that it's authentic as I am not the expert on what that would be, but it's quality ingredients, and good flavor. A lot of spice. (This place also makes that General Tso fast food crap, but it isn't as good here as other restaurants so maybe go somewhere else if you just want sesame chicken).
I've tried a good amount of the menu here. My favorite dishes include the Dan Dan noodles, and the soup dumplings in red oil. Anything in that red oil is going to be good. I'll generally start with those and then add to the order. The pork belly and cucumber with garlic is pretty popular here as well.
Price wise this place is pretty good too. The problem is that stuff is so delicious that I tend to order a lot and it adds up quickly. So while the prices are in line with the rest of the neighborhood, I always end up spending more here (the reviewer that called these manhattan prices was way off base).
stopped in for dinner around 7 on a saturday after shopping nearby, place wasn't too crowded so we were seated right away. service overall was mediocre/spotty at best as we had to ask for things multiple times. water didn't come to the table until we started getting our dishes and we had to ask. we ordered soup dumplings and they didnt bring out soup spoons so we asked. the food was pretty good. we had the scallion pancake, jellyfish, spicy tripe, twice cooked pork and all were tasty. the soup dumplings were ok, have had better elsewhere. and we also tried the spicy soft shell crab which was basically a big pileup of chilies. it wasnt bad but the dish was full of chilies. as we left, the place was packed and there were only two waiters for the entire place – wasn't sufficient although the restaurant is smallish.
Pretty good, although I could understand being deterred by the Ghetto menu and the decor. Dan Dan was good, interesting and different spices but salty. The spicy dumplings were also cry oily and salty. The best thing we ordered was the orange chicken and the wonton soup was a good flavor.
Wanted to have Chinese food, we went there last Saturday coz it seems it has the highest review in that neighborhood . But as a Chinese, i can tell you the truth, the Chinese food not authentic at all! It's just home made dishes, put whatever veggies or materials as they want, quite disappointing. My bf as an American, felt the food was suck as well. Plus the price is the same as in Manhattan
The owner and waiters were wrapping some fortune cookies at a table in dinning area, talking loud.
Worst Chinese food had in "restaurant" in the city! The food not worth the price!
My friend loves this place so when I got to visit in NY, I had to give this place a try. We kind of went crazy and ordered a lot of food:
Dan Dan Noodles
Mapo Tofu
Pork meat wrapped around cucumber
Cold chicken covered in red hot sauce
Chongqing Dry Hot Chicken
Fried beef?
Dan dan noodles – Loved it. Loved the sauce, noodles, and everything about it.
Mapo tofu – Probably one of the best mapo tofu that I have ever had in my life
Pork meat wrapped around cucumber – Not sure what this thing is called, but its basically samgyupsal (pork) wrapped around cucumber and it comes with hot sauce. Very delicious as well.
Cold chicken covered in red hot sauce – Again, not sure what this thing is called but this was also very delicious
Chongqing dry hot chicken – It was good, but I like the one near my place better lol
Fried beef – Not sure what this was lol. It was legit just fried dry beef. But it was really good with mapo tofu.
