"Bellevue’s Dan Gui Sichuan Cuisine serves up a solid selection of items, like saliva chicken — the cold chicken is poached and served in chile sauce, making for a mouthwatering (get it—saliva chicken?) experience. Chile-mixed eggplant with preserved egg comes in a large mortar with a pestle provided to mash everything together until you get a funky mixture. The menu showcases numerous bowls of fish in broth; try the ma la tofu pudding with fish filets in a spicy numbing broth. The seemingly simple dry pot cabbage shows off the skills of the kitchen, as the smokiness of the wok hei shines through." - Jay Friedman
