"Located right across the street from the Port Authority on the fringes of the burgeoning Chinese restaurant scene in Hell’s Kitchen, Sky Pavilion is one of the city’s best Sichuan restaurants albeit in a strictly utilitarian space. Chef Zhongqing Wang’s menu is lush with dishes like steamed whole fish with ground pork, freshly made tofu pudding veined with chile oil, and Zigong-style stir-fried spicy rabbit. There are indoor dine-in services; takeout orders can be placed online. Delight in: Oftentimes, dishes are plated in amusing configurations and fun serveware, like birds or the donkey-led cart (yeah)." - Emma Orlow
