Spy C Cuisine

The Best Sichuan Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Relaxing murals of flowering trees decorate this Forest Hills restaurant, where you can expect a soundtrack of elevator music. But the very last thing the food here will do is put you to sleep. Spy C Cuisine lives up to its name, with assertively spicy, wonderfully tingly Sichuan food. If you love eggplant, you owe it to yourself to try their super-silky, mortar-and-pestle-smashed celebration of the vegetable. They also serve a standard menu of Chinese-American takeout staples, but while there’s a time and a place for orange chicken, it’d be a mistake to miss out on things like melt-in-your-mouth pork belly or mala spicy shredded beef." - neha talreja, hannah albertine, diana kuan, molly fitzpatrick
