"The Sichuan scene is still buzzing in downtown Flushing’s Chinatown. Charming Sichuan is an all-white, no-frills spot with expertly executed, boldly-flavored Sichuan dishes from chef Dehua Yu, who cooked for 30 years in the Sichuan province. The mouthwatering chicken lives up to its name: a spicy, tangy, and savory affair with peanuts and refreshing pops of cilantro; the cucumber salad features wide strips in a light and tangy broth; and, the rabbit, cooked in a wok with spicy red peppers, baby bamboo, and numbing green Sichuan peppercorns presents a blast of flavor sure to wake you up. It’s all in the details, like the complimentary appetizers of cabbage in chile oil and braised fava beans." - Caroline Shin
