The Best Sichuan 一品成都21

Very good Sichuan food. Loved the spicy fried chicken and the cold chicken in chili oil. Everything else was pretty good too especially for those looking for reliable Sichuan cuisine. Service is quite fast which was great cos we were hungry.

I really enjoyed this place. The food was really yummy I’m no pro in sichuan cuisine so I can’t tell you if it was authentic but I can tell you it’s been a while since I went here and I’m still thinking about it! Servers were super friendly and helpful when I asked what they recommended. If any of the portions look small it’s because we started eating before I got a picture 🫢

Truly a 10/10 spot hitting every note you could ask for in a dinning experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with lots of happy faces and people connecting over great food, friendly service with moderate wait times and dishes that look appealing and taste amazing! Shout out to our waiter Chen, he was very polite and pleasant to talk with. Always on point with keeping waters full and checking in making sure our first bites were up to standard. If you are lucky enough to live in the neighborhood consider yourself lucky, you have a true New York City gem. Chen

Just okay. My guess is that the ratings are as high as they are because they offer a free dessert in exchange for a 5-star review, and really push it. The food was just okay, service was fine, and atmosphere was, in my opinion, lackluster. I was really looking forward to being wow'd based on the volume of 5-star reviews, but it sort of felt like a scam to me. I definitely didn't need to have a reservation, there were a lot of empty tables when I was there. I was disappointed, ultimately.

The Best Sichuan truly lives up to its name! We tried the dumplings, dry-style beef and the braised pork — wow, wow, wow! Every bite was packed with flavor and crafted with such attention to detail. Easily the best Sichuan food we’ve ever eaten. A must-visit for authentic lovers of spice and depth! We will be back

Delicious authentic Sichuan food in the heart of NYC! We loved the Spicy Beef Noodle, the Mapo Tofu, the pork dumplings in spicy sauce, and the pea shoots in garlic. Although we didn’t get the Dan Dan noodles, they looked fantastic and I would definitely come back to try it. Highly recommend 🍜

What a hidden gem in NYC! We just arrived after a long drive from DC and were craving Chinese food — The Best Sichuan on 21st popped up, and wow, what a great find. We ordered takeout, and before placing our order online, I spoke with Elaine, who was incredibly pleasant — a rare and refreshing interaction these days! When we arrived, the restaurant was bustling and had such a cozy, inviting vibe. We ordered the vegetable spring rolls, broccoli with chicken in brown sauce, and General Tso’s chicken — everything was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what we were hoping for. Thank you Elaine & Chen — keep up the amazing work! We’ll definitely be back.

Dry Hot Pot and Black Bean Chicken was amazing! The flavor profile was soooo awesome! Will definitely go back and have to try other dishes! Dishes could be a bit more spicy 🌶️
