The Best Sichuan restaurants in Seattle | Eater Seattle

"This Sichuan spot took over the longstanding Szechuan Chef space in Bellevue’s Kelsey Creek Center in 2024. The staff is exceedingly helpful in walking diners through the menu and making suggestions, so don’t hesitate to ask. One standout is braised beef with taro, which is entrancingly numbing given its preparation with Sichuan peppercorn. You’ll elicit smiles by ordering Chongqing chicken bone-in, as the flavor is superior to the boneless variety. The seemingly simple “boiled spicy fish” comes covered with chile peppers while still showcasing the rich and buttery black cod’s silkiness." - Jay Friedman
