Tabletop BBQ/grilling, Chinese hot pot, skilled mixologists, authentic Szechuan and Hunan cuisine... please open a location in Minneapolis, China Garden!
How lucky is Omaha to have such well-executed and authentic Hunan and Szechuan restaurant?? I was so impressed that beyond the Americanized options, we could order flavorful dishes with the signature numbing Szechuan peppercorn like dandan noodles, spicy wontons, mapo tofu, and more. Our whole party (a table of 8 celebrating the upcoming Lunar New Year) loved every single dish! We also loved that Korean Soju was available, and that the mixologist Luke made us impressive custom cocktails.
Our whole table opted in for the table-top BBQ, which was AYCE for $24.99--great deal! We ordered all sorts of items that we grilled ourselves over charcoals: pork belly, thinly sliced steak, marinated beef, intestine, chicken, eggplant and mushrooms. Nothing beats getting a delicious charcoal char on your meat, especially in the comfort of a booth. I also appreciated that we could make our own sauces at the station in the back.
I can't wait to come back here! Next time we'll try hot pot, if we have the strength to deny ourselves the BBQ.
