Sichuan eatery: beef noodle soups, dry pots, cocktails
"Cobble Hill isn’t exactly known for its Sichuan food, but you can get a proper, fiery bowl of mapo tofu at Shan. They’ve got those creamy dan dan noodles we all want in our takeout rotation, plus some flashier dishes worth changing out of your sweatpants for, like black truffle soup dumplings and fish dry pot. Try and snag one of the tables across from the bar, where you can get a view of the Mount Gongga mural glowing behind the bartender." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman
"Sure, you can get yourself a quality bowl of mapo tofu at a lot of the places on this list. But have you ever had yours with a lobster tail on top? Shan is one of the few Sichuan options in Cobble Hill, and they make it count. Lobster mapo, black pepper wagyu, and black truffle soup dumplings can all take date night up a notch. Try and sit at one of the tables across from the bar, where you can get a view of the glowing Mount Siguniang mural behind the bartender." - neha talreja, hannah albertine, diana kuan, molly fitzpatrick
"Shan is, by far, your best option for Chinese delivery in Cobble Hill. The shredded duck fried rice and green peppercorn fish are some of our favorite things to eat in front of the TV. But you can also have a fancy date night-in, with lobster mapo and black pepper wagyu. Pick-up and delivery are both available on their website, with a small discount if you get a pick-up order of $40 or more." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine
"Cobble Hill isn’t exactly known for its Sichuan food, but the folks behind Shan are great ambassadors for the cuisine. You can go casual or fancy with your food here. We usually save the shredded duck fried rice and green peppercorn fish for take-home meals in our sweatpants. Eating inside the restaurant itself—with its deep blue color scheme and soft pendant lamp lighting—feels a touch more formal, and you should order accordingly. Their lobster mapo, black pepper wagyu, and black truffle soup dumplings can all take date night up a notch. Try and sit at one of the tables across from the bar, where you can get a view of the Mount Gongga mural glowing behind the bartender. photo credit: Kevin Li" - Neha Talreja
