"Kanbai’s menu showcases dishes from Sichuan and Hunan, which are home to some of China’s hottest cuisines. Think: poached fish filet in hot chili soup or eggplant and minced pork with hot garlic sauce. For the spice-averse, there’s an extensive range of more seasonally focused Cantonese food as well." - Ivy Lerner-Frank
"Chinatown’s Kanbai’s menu showcases dishes from Sichuan and Hunan, home to some of China’s hottest cuisines. If you’re not a Chinese reader, look for translated key words “hot” and “chili,” ideally combined with “garlic” and “sauce” to find options like poached fish filet in hot chili soup or eggplant and minced pork with hot garlic sauce. For the spice-averse, there’s an extensive range of more seasonally focused Cantonese food." - JP Karwacki, Ivy Lerner-Frank
