"Corkage fee: $10 Everything at Mala Sichuan is delicious. Getting to BYOB is just a bonus. Like the crimson red oil dumplings with sweet pockets of pork or the acid-spiked water-boiled fish broth that will have you wondering if you’ll ever have feeling in your tongue again. Balance out the lingering numbing effect and mouth-watering spice of Sichuan food with a couple of bottles of something sweet, maybe some large-format saisons, or, hell, just throw a big-bodied red in there and let that spice ride." - chelsea thomas
