"The restaurant, which serves Sichuan spicy dry pot, “builds on the excellence of its eponymous Chinatown sibling,” Slim writes. Among dozens of dishes, he finds “plenty of tasty mildness to alternate with the fire-breathers.” On the spicy side, there are Sichuan wontons with red chili sauce, and on the milder side, there are pan-fried pork buns and pumpkin cakes. Favorite dishes for Slim include the cumin-style lamb and the restaurant’s signature spicy dry pot, which he calls a delicious, great bargain." - Dana Hatic
