"Founded in 2008, this Chinatown hotspot is frequented by basketball stars and world leaders alike for its fiery Sichuan specialties. Saying this menu is “expansive” is an understatement; at last count, there were over 150 dishes, but consistent go-to favorites from fans include tongue-tingling items like the signature explosive chicken (golden fried chicken mixed with a mountain of roughly chopped Sichuan chile peppers), mapo tofu, hot chile oil-soaked fish filets, and clay pots topped with spicy shrimp." - Lena Park
"Mouth-numbing wizardry via fiery flavors is going down at Z&Y in Chinatown. These Sichuan dishes demand your attention. Specialties include fish filet soaked in hot chili oil, mapo tofu with lip-tingling spice, and clay pots filled with chilis and an aquarium’s worth of shellfish. We never leave without that mapo tofu and a bowl of hot and sour soup. The snug space is málà heaven for anyone who loves a good mouth burn. And since the menu is a short novel (it would take weekly visits for a year to try every dish), you’ll be back." - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, lani conway
