"Chuan Yu opened during the pandemic and immediately built up a following for its traditional, and appropriately fiery, Sichuan and Hunan dishes — everything from classic water-boiled fish to harder-to-find specialties like a chile-laden plate of stir-fried chicken cartilage. This is the place to go to if you want Sichuan malatang or dry pot, both variants on a numbingly spicy hot pot meal." - Luke Tsai
