THE WORST

by SHOWWEI

The worst, overrated, expensive for Chinatown., except for the 2 appetizers we ordered, everything stinks. The 6 dumplings were from frozen packages, not fresh, most items on menu were for show only, most dishes were out, the pork in brown sauce was just fat pieces of pork belly that was sitting, not even hot, at $15.95, this dish would be half the price elsewhere, the rice was cold,

I've eaten off foodcarts and the food was better. The only thing worth eating might be their noodle soup dish, nothing else, the Dan Dan Noodle was a joke, it couldn't even fool a non-Asian.

BEST ADVICE, DON'T GO HERE. NOT WORTH THE MONEY.

Disappointed

by savvyg

Very disappointed. The reviews were so good, I expected better. The lo mein was okay, but the sesame chicken was awful. Bizarre amount of vinegar in the sauce, and the chicken was tough. The place itself was pretty divey, but I could have gotten over that if the food was better. The staff, however, was fast and attentive.

Come here for the hotpot!

by fairydust

If you hear people talk about a Grand Sichuan that has the best hotpot in town, this is it (don't get it confused with other restaurants with the same name). I would highly recommended getting the spicy broth-chicken broth combo so that you can cool off your tongue in between. They have an amazing selection of meats, seafood, and vegetables that you can put it. The decor is of the minimalist Chinatown variety, but the waitstaff was really very polite and attentive.

• Pros: amazing hotpot
• Cons: small and crowded (but typical of many Chinatown restaurants)

Wonton in hot oil... wow.

by ewab

This is just the best in NY city... or any place outside of china... so much better than most of what you get that passes for real chinese...

Loofah, Crispy whole fish and the hotpot - cheep good eats. This is spicy and authentic Sichuan.

We happened upon it and what a happy accident. I could go there any day of the week. I saw a beef dish at the table next to me that I will try next time I get back there.

• Pros: Spicy,

Best HotPot in Chinatown

by yargnawh

Went on a Monday night, not too crowd, got seated quickly. the seating isn't too tight like some other chinese restaurant. Two menus to choose from, regular menu or hotpot menu. Definately get a hotpot menu. It has both english and chinese. they have two broths to choose from, plain or spicy. or you can get both. (a must). there's a good selection of ingredients. all fresh and well prepared. and the service was fast. Eating couldn't be more fun. After dinner, the check came to about $20 a person, which is totally worthy it. Definately going back more often.

• Pros: Very Traditional Sichuan HotPot, Good Selection
• Cons: None
