Fiery Sichuan specialties like explosive chicken & chili oil fish
"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

"I like Z&Y's special Lunar New Year menu that highlights bold Sichuan flavors, with dishes such as Szechuan-style chicken, salt-and-pepper crab, and fish filet with flaming chile oil." - Dianne de Guzman
