"Of the three exceptional Sichuan restaurants in the handsome and suburban-looking One Fulton Square development, Szechwan Absolute is the most no-nonsense — slightly cheaper than the other two. Hidden away on the third floor and accessible by elevator, the restaurant features a menu that mainly sticks to Sichuan standards like ma po tofu, sliced fish in chile oil, and Chongqing chicken, improved with the stylish dough twists called mahua. Don’t miss northern Chinese dishes such as boiled beef with Chinese sauerkraut." - Caroline Shin, Robert Sietsema
