"One of Houston’s pioneering Sichuan restaurants is also an excellent option for takeout or delivery, especially when looking for something spicy. Order its iconic dan dan noodles, the mapo tofu, or the crispy chicken, with a slice of mille crepe cake for dessert. But if looking to entertain a large party, check out some of its family platters, including a whole tea-roasted duck for $38, a party tray of kung pao chicken for $75, and sides that feed multiple people for $60. Add sides like Yangzhou fried rice or sautéed baby bok choy for $60 each, and a gallon of house special plum juice for $28." - Brittany Britto Garley
