"We love Birds Of A Feather’s numbing Sichuan food. We love it even more at lunch, when eating at this Williamsburg restaurant numbs our wallets just a little bit less. A pretty large selection of their entrees get reduced in price, and all come with free white rice. If you live or work in the area, it’s great for takeout, but you can dine in as well." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
"A Williamsburg Sichuan restaurant that functions as a sibling location to an established Manhattan restaurant, it figures into the neighborhood dynamic as a nearby competitor to a newly opened Brooklyn spot from the same ownership group; its owners earlier accused a Midtown newcomer of stealing their original concept in Manhattan, adding to the public tensions between the teams." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Chinese delivery and takeout available - call or order online." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"Birds of a Feather is still our go-to for top-notch Sichuan food in Williamsburg, even with newer arrivals serving food from the province. A long communal table at the heart of the restaurant is part of the draw. The menu offers modern inventions — pork and okra “mini rolls,” fried eggplant accordions — as well as more traditional dishes. The stylish restaurant comes from the team behind Cafe China." - Eater Staff
"If you want more of a casual neighborhood night with Sichuan food in Williamsburg, head to Birds of a Feather. The bright, roomy space looks like a store that would sell yoga mats, with some big windows up front and a communal table in the middle. It’s probably the least spicy Sichuan spot on this list—even the dishes labeled with three peppers tend to be relatively mild—but they make up for it with some stellar pickled dishes and dim sum. If you have a spice-wary friend who wants to try Sichuan for the first time, this is the spot to take them to." - neha talreja, hannah albertine, diana kuan, molly fitzpatrick
