    Stir-Fried Cabbage, Spicy Chili Beef, fish Hounder Filet with Pickled Cabbage Soup
    Sharon M.

    Ordered so much food lol. Huge portions. Stir fried cabbage -- a classic and very flavorful. Spicy beef -- emphasis on spicy, but it was good! Fish soup -- very flavorful and well done. Was surprised they even had it -- don't soups take a while to make? Very family-oriented place. Highly recommend.

    Kung pao chicken
    Ritik S.

    Really good Sichuan food in Flushing - I came here with a friend and we got three dishes that were all very good! Lots of restaurants in the area, but this one stood out with its nice ambience and modern feel. I thought the food was really solid. The kung pao chicken was good, and the sichuan beef was solid as well, but the cucumber salad was actually the highlight! I think tjis is partially because the two meat dishes turned out to be a bit milder than preferred; since this is Sichuan we were expecting more of a kick, but the food wasn't very spicy. Still the food was very good, but next time I'd ask for the food to be made spicy!

    Steamed whole fish w. fresh green pepper (tilapia)

    Really good and authentic Sichuan food! I tried most of the classic dishes and I loved all of them. My only complaint is that everything was a bit too salty but I think that's inevitable since Sichuan food just has so many spices and is packed with flavor. The place looks small initially but is actually really long and there's a basement too with extra seating. I would definitely come back here when craving Sichuan food. Sautéed beef w. two kinds of pepper 7/10 - Too spicy for my liking (though it does have a spice level of 2 chilis on the menu) Double cooked pork belly w. chili leeks 9/10 Sesame cold noodle w. sliced pork belly in garlic sauce 9/10 - This was one of my favorite new dishes! Sautéed baby shrimp w. egg 8/10 Steamed whole fish w. fresh green pepper (tilapia) 9/10

    Food was fantastic. And the servers were very friendly as well. It is a Michelin recognized restaurant and was worth the viait! We got the special staple type of dishes because we were so full. We tried the hand pulled noodle, house chicken dumplings , thousand layered pancakes and handmade noodles It was nice in the restaurant as well it was quiet when we went and nice

    Spicy and properly Sichuan, the peppercorn spice hits you. However, I ordered a dish that had 3 peppers marked, but it was not as spicy as I thought, so maybe ask for extra spicy if you want it hotter. I had the tea duck since it's a rare menu item and it did not disappoint, the duck skin was crispy and the meat was fragrant. Staff is friendly and the place wasn't too loud, which was good for catching up with an old friend.

    Braised Pork with Chinese Chestnut
    Andy L.

    Rating: 8.5/10 Date Last Visited: 8/24/2025 We ordered a large variety of dishes, including beef, braised pork, spicy chicken, sautéed cabbage, eggplant, and fried fish fillet. Every dish tasted very authentic and had just the right amount of spice and flavor. The standouts were the fried fish, braised pork, and cabbage, but all the dishes were great. This place is the perfect definition of authentic Chinese food in Flushing. I don't remember the individual prices of each item, but the total came out to be around $27/person for a group 6. Overall, I would recommend if you are a fan of Sichuan food.

    Stopped by here for a quick company dinner eith a few colleagues. Overall mood is hip, trendy and moody. Concrete flooring and dim lights make it a perfect romantic spot but tucked away a few blocks from Main St and 41st Ave. Dishes were spicy, garlicky and delicious. Not sure what was ordered but the food didn't take too long to come out and its very much a family style spot, great to visit eith coworkers. I'd come back for the food but not surr if I want to brave the heavy traffic on Main Street.

    Dan-Dan Noodle with Chili Minced Pork
    Jess L.

    I got spontaneous pick-up from Alley on a Sunday night. It was on a relatively wide and quiet street so easy to double park for a moment. No one was even right by the door when I walked in, so I quickly found my bag and left. There were only a handful of people in the restaurant. Our food was really good! I wish the spicy chicken had had more chicken and fewer chilis, but we loved the taste and texture. The double cooked pork with leeks was a little too oily but, again, loved the flavor. The Dan Dan noodles are always great, and I'm glad we added them to our order.

    My husband and I decided to come here for dinner on New Year's Eve. The restaurant was busy and we were happy that we were able to get a table. We ordered the meatball soup, spicy dry pot fish and a vegetable. Everything tasted great, and we felt so warm on a winter evening. We had a great time there, and we were ready to welcome the new year after this great meal!

    Chilly chicken

    Ordered chilly chicken and dumpling with chilly sauce, the chilly chicken was phenomenon. Delicious and will definitely order again. Atmosphere is nice with Chinese music. Perfect for date or a big group. The services was very good. Gave me hot tea for cold weather. W eats

    Pork cucumber noodle: so so so good. This was the highlight of the dinner. If I come back, it will definitely be for this specific dish Spicy fish: while it was spicy, that felt like the only flavor. I wish there was more flavor Cumin beef: pretty good and beef was tender. The right amount of spicy Scallion pancake: it was quite crunchy, almost like a cookie Saw this place on infatuation and got quite curious about it. Would come back again if one of my friends want to try it, but will go all in on the pork cucumber noodle

    Can't even tell you what I ordered because the menu was so expansive! Food flavors were decent. Prices were fine. We asked for mildy mildy mild for all of the dishes but even so everything was pretty spicy. We also asked for no cilantro but it made it to our dish. Some dishes were really good, but some were a bit off. From what I remembered, the double cooked pork belly was really tasty. The tripe appetizer albeit spicy was really good. There was also this thick noodle with sweet and tangy sauce- tasty as well. Everything else was fine but with minor issues like undercooked liver, soggy noodles, bland flavors for the Dan Dan noodles.

    Juan B.

    Very nice place! Fast and efficient. The food is amazing. Delicious. I mined to come back to try more dishes.

    I came here with some folks and the food was surprisingly amazing. On a busy evening, many places…read morein Flushing required a reservation or had long wait times, but Szechuan Mountain House, perfectly didn't have a long wait so we went to check it out. Starting off, the numbing szechuan chicken was my least favorite of the dishes - the pieces of chicken were really tiny and there were a lot of peppercorns. I wish they made the pieces of chicken slightly larger as it was irritating to slowly pick it out towards the end of finishing it. Now, what went well were the stone pot with the fish. Normally not a huge fan of fish, so if I can enjoy eating fish a place has done well in preparing it. The soup was really flavorful and everyone at my table enjoyed it. The sweet and sour pork was also nice. The breading was crispy and the sauce had a nice tangy flavor to it and the texture was interestingly satisfying. The grilled beef ribs and bao buns were one of my favorite. The beef rib was very tender and went well with the buns and condiments that were provided.

    Szechuan mountain house is one of the original Szechuan restaurants to open in downtown flushing…read more It continues to draw in a sizeable crowd due to its strong reputation. I've dined here with my family twice and in the most recent occasion, we came with no reservations around 2:30pm on a Sunday. All the tables were taken as they just opened at noon so we had to wait a bit. Their menu / iPad ordering system was simple to navigate and quick to place. Our table was started off with their spicy pickled cabbage, which was super addicting. I love how the spicy oil was so flavorful and the cabbage was soft and just slightly tangy. We ordered 5 dishes for our party of 5: the la-zi chicken, stir fried cabbage, grilled beef ribs, beef and mushroom bibimbap and mao xue wang. My favorites were the la-zi chicken as the diced chicken was super crispy and flavorful. The spice level and numbingness was just the right amount. Next comes the beef and mushroom bibimbap, which is mixed and served at the table. The flavors were more soy based and was very balanced. The stir fried cabbage was cooked well but the pork in the dish was extremely salty. The grilled beef ribs came with steamed baos, similar to peking duck. I enjoyed the experience and presentation but the dish was a bit boring. Toppings included a spicy hot sauce, cucumbers and scallions along with the sliced beef that was individually torched at the table. Lastly the mao xue wang is a traditional stew featuring offals and blood curds. This one had duck blood, tripe, and intestines. I was extremely disappointed by this dish as I was expecting some tofu and small pork intestines but it didn't have either. The tripe and intestines were very crunchy, wherwas the duck blood was silky and soft. The flavor was very basic mala stew and had a ton of red chili peppers. Overall I had a decent meal at Mountain house but can't help but wonder if I ordered the right things since not everything was as good as I hoped. I will mostly likely return to give their other menu items a try.

    Cuisine: 6 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 5 Value: 8 Overall: 6 This is the restaurant that replaced Szechuan House, a beloved staple in Flushing since 1985. The food is very different, it's from the Dongbei (northeast) region of China. However, people will inevitably compare the flavors to its predecessor, though it is definitely not an apples to apples comparison. The cooking style of Dongbei cuisine is very hearty and savory. They also prefer noodles, breads, and dumplings as their staple over rice. Due to the extremely cold weather, they also focus quite of bit on pickled vegetables. Looking through their huge menu, I mainly focused on ordering the local dishes from Dongbei and veered away from items that are popular from other parts of China like Shanghainese soup dumplings or Szechuan sauerkrat fish. Here is what we had below. Spiced Wide Noodle w/ Mixed Vegetable & Pork (6.5/10) - This popular cold noodle dish was decent, but I had better versions around Flushing. Slightly too sauced up, but lacked a bit of vinegary touch. Spicy Pork Kidney (8/10) - This is one of the only non-Dongbei dishes I got because I'm a fan. Well, as expected, the flavors are not as bold or spicy as how it would be made by a Szechuan restaurant. However, it was boiled perfectly and super tender. Mix Dried Tofu Shreds (3/10) - Not sure why anyone would pay for this dish. Basically combining flavorless julienne dried tofu with cilantro. Tofu w/ Century Egg Salad (3/10) - Not inedible, but almost no flavor and felt like they just threw a bunch of chopped up century egg into silky tofu. Seasoning? I make a much better version at home. North China Sticky Pancake (6/10) - Stuffed with slightly sweet red bean paste, this sticky rice pancake is okay, but nothing special. Stewed Chicken w/ Mushroom (7/10) - The chicken was clearly overcooked, but the soup flavors were excellent, allowing the tree mushrooms and vermicelli soak up all the yumminess. Sautéed Triple Vegetables (8/10) - Classic dish from Dongbei done relatively well. I believe it could use a bit more crispiness, but pretty good overall. Pine Nuts & Baby Corn (6.5/10) - The baby corn was quite sweet, while the pine nuts add a bit of earthiness. It's a decent dish, but not special. Cumin Lamb (7.5/10) - I wish they used fresh cumin instead of powder, it would have made this dish even more aromatic and flavorful. Meat was relatively tender. Fried Pork in Sweet Sour Sauce (6/10) - Be nice if the pork was a bit thicker and definitely more tender. The batter was mochi-like and crispy. Shredded Pork w/ Bean Paste (7/10) - Definitely over salted, too much bean sauce. However, the pork was tender and the bead curd sheets were delicious. Sautéed Pork Intestine w/ Fresh Chili Pepper (8/10) - Maybe my favorite dish of the night. A few others said the same. Fatty and luxurious with a bit of heat. Crispy Fish Cutlet (7/10) - This dish was served cold and not crispy as the name suggests. However, the bones are all edible from the cooking process, marinated in a semi-sweet soy based sauce. Pumpkin Puffs (6/10) - Not bad, but once again, I had better versions around Flushing. More red bean paste filling and more pumpkin taste would be nice. Napa Cabbage & Pork Dumplings (7.5/10) - The skin was pretty smooth and not too thick. I do prefer one that has more filling, but it tasted pretty good. Shrimp, Pork & Chive Dumplings (7/10) - Same as the other dumpling. I also didn't taste the shrimp much. As for the food, I would say that there is better specialty shops around Flushing that sell Dongbei style noodles, dumplings, or pancakes. There are also restaurants that cook cold and hot dishes with more flavor. However, the pricing on everything is very reasonable and portion sizes are large. One more thing to add, the owner was kind and offered us free beers and beverages for the evening since we were a large party and it's their grand opening week. The waitress was also quite attentive to our requests and patient with my questions. However, the food did come out way too fast and furious. I had to remind them to slow down, which they eventually did. Unfortunately, our group of 12 came for the food and it just didn't hit the spot for most of us. I am more than willing to come back and try more dishes since the service and value is there.

We had the fish with peppercorn, fried pork in sweet and sour sauce, sweet potato desert, braised beef with quail eggs etc. I'd suggest all of them as well. We will be back as a group. Thank you for the great meal on a cold day.

    Really great Sichuan food. It was very spicy, but I loved it…read more I tried the cumin beef, signature fried cabbage, and pig trotters - all were delicious and spicy. I'd love to come back and try more of their dishes. The staff are attentive. It is quite casual inside.

    Just returned from a trip in China and I can say the food still really hit the spot. It's not a…read morefancy spot and has simple decor. But the food is what you're there for. It's very spicy with the signature Sichuan peppercorn, so if you're not into numb spicy, considered yourselves warned. We specifically loved the pig trotters. I've never had them like that before anywhere, so it's definitely a chefs special. They were made crispy on the outside but soft and flavorful on the inside. Highly recommend. All the other dishes were also fantastic. Portions are also great, we ended up taking lots home. They gave us free dessert jellies which is also a classic Sichuan dessert; they also had a deal where you get free drinks if you order a certain amount of food, so we got two free drinks. I would have given a five star if not for the super long wait. Granted we did go for Christmas Day dinner. We saw them having to turn away lots of customers. They are super popular. Main issue is there isn't a number system, so getting a table felt a bit random; we considered ourselves lucky. Our servers were very friendly and nice. They told us it would be a bit of a wait, but this was the longest I've ever waited for food: 45 min before the first dish was served. We ordered 5 dishes with rice (forgot to take pictures of two of them). I wasn't told one of the dishes I ordered wasn't available until 30 min after I placed my order. But when the food did come, they all can't together so we didn't have to keep waiting. The servers were also attentive after despite how busy and clearly overwhelmed they were, which was really nice. In conclusion, great food with good portions for spice lovers. Very nice servers and try not to go on Christmas Day since it can get really busy.
