    Dragon and Phoenix Chef's Special
    Marie S.

    Authentic Szechuan in Park Slope was pretty good the other night. After reading several reviews, I went and checked out the menu. There are almost too many choices, so I focused on the menu items with photos and the "House Specialities" and "Chef's Special" menu items. I've read that the Chong Qing Spicy Chicken is one of the best items and it's listed as one of the restaurant's "Best Sellers" for delivery orders. The Chong Qing Spicy Chicken description says it's deep fried and sautéed. The menu also offers bamboo steamed items and a vegetarian section. Lots of choices. I finally chose number 53 "The Dragon and Phoenix." The shrimp were large and the white chicken meat was tender. It comes in a chefs special sauce, an orange brown sauce that goes very well with the dish. Very happy with the meal. ** Mustard and extras were not included, no fortune cookie *** The food was pretty delicious & one of the best in the slope area, unless you want to go to Sunset Park where there's a lot of really great Chinese food.

    This was a random walk-in for me. I'm glad I stopped in. I ordered the hot and sour soup. It was really tasty. We ordered shrimp shumai as an appetizer that was good. For my entree, I had the shrimp and scallops with veggies, and the seafood was cooked perfectly. My brother ordered the general tso chicken. I tried some, and it was so good. Not overly breaded at all. Great portions for the price here. The service was friendly and felt like home. I'd visit again.

    One day I was desperate for good authentic Szechuan food without having to travel to Chinatown. I thought I try this spot. It looked legit and the menu seem authentic enough. When I order my food for take out. I ate it fairly within good timing because the food was still hot. The spicy fish was average. Wasn't anything of special to me. The salt and pepper was okay. It was popular the best dish of the 3 I had. The duck was the worst. Really dry. Chuck that into the garbage asap. This is one and done for me. Only if I'm desperate I will come here.

    Have ordered from here a few times now and while it's a tad on the pricey side the food is really, really good! Of all the things I've gotten the best has been the wontons in chili oil. There was a lot going on in the sauce not just spice and garlic, which is always delish but nice to have more! Also big fan of the double cooked pork and their soups! The shrimp with broccoli had really plump shrimps and the broccoli was crispy, not oily at all. The only thing that I've had from there that wasn't good was their fried dumplings. Tasted straight up like frozen Trader Joe's Gyoza. So just get those spicy wontons instead!

    Warning: this is not a review about Americanized Chinese food or your Panda Express like Chinese takeout. Born and raised in China, I always worry about not having authentic Chinese food around after I moved to United States. I lived on UWS for three years before moving to Park Slope in 2015. Luckily there's one Chinese restaurant in the hood that serves some authentic Chinese spicy food. Believe me, I tried almost everything in the hood before settling down with Authentic Szechuan. Early on during COVID-19 lockdown, they closed for a couple of months. I was heartbroken worrying this gem would be closed like many other businesses. Fortunately they came back! Food is always consistent, delivery is always fast, and they use their own delivery person(tip more please)! I urge you to try things under House Special if you don't know much about authentic Chinese cuisine. You will get more delicious food there. I rarely order Americanized section because I often find them to be too sweet for my taste, but it seems to be common for my American friends(another Diet Coke please, anyone?) But of course, if you really want to enjoy Authentic Chinese food, please support Chinatown(Manhattan, Flushing and 8th Ave in Brooklyn)! They deliver too through Seamless, UberEats, and Chowbus.

    So good!!! Authentic. Tastes very similar to the HOT & TASTY restaurant in Flushing, Queens. Ordering was easy, friendly. And food comes piping hot in 20 minutes. Everything was fresh, delicious. Love it!!!

    it's been too long so I last numbed all my tastebuds with spice at a place like this…read more - walking up to the an unassuming outside in an area not entirely known for this cuisine, I was interested why the reviewers were so good - the restaurant is deceivingly large as its thin but goes deep in the back. we started with their banger of a happy hour and got $9 spritzes & jasmine lychee martinis. the martini tasted like a sweet tea turned boldly alcoholic. very fun. I next just got a regular lychee martini, which was much less sweet & a perfect drink #2 - we started with the pork dumplings which had such a complex sauce. it looked like a basic chili oil but there was a tangy vinegar and a sweet aftertaste that balanced out the numbing spice. the dough was so chewy & thick, I loved. - the cold eggplant was very garlic forward & naturally ofc coated in spice. it's a large serving of the same vegetable but we ate every piece - we split the tofu & fish entree. this was insane, the same base and consistency as mapo tofu. incredibly rich and flavorful with light large chunks of silken tofu & battered fried soft fish. the fish absorbed so much of the sauce, which honestly I was eating by the spoonful.

Though I was surprised that the vibe of the restaurant itself seemed very curated in a way that's emblematic of the the way in which Williamsburg more broadly continues to move towards this clean/green/minimalistic aesthetic (which is enjoyable but uniform), it was still a great time filled with fun cocktails a nice variety of food. We came here at 8:30 on a Saturday night. Though it was relatively easy to book a reservation for a part of four here, it was pretty full and lively when we arrived. The space itself is quite big, with an expansive dining room full of big tables for larger parties. As I mentioned, the decor had the whole clean/green vibe that retail and restaurants alike are leaning into these days, though interestingly on the perimeter there were some fun little antique items like very old wooden furniture or saloon-esque pianos. As a party of four we were sat at a round table in one of these perimeter spaces which gave us a nice vantage point. I had heard that the cocktails here were not to be missed and I can see why. They're creative, thoughtful, and organized on the menu such that you can get a sense of the flavor profile before ordering (relative sweetness/sourness/strength) before ordering. I started with the Truemartini (Truman Vodka, Gin, Osmanthus, Fontbonne, Rockeys, Dry Vermouth, Blue Cheese Olive) which I absolutely loved. I suppose it gives dirty martini because of the blue cheese olive but it's far more complex and herbaceous than your typical martini so it's honestly in its own category. I then got the Hanami Drop (Citadelle Gin, Ovo Vodka, Jasmine, Rockey's Umeshu, Lime) which was good but because I wasn't really in the mood for a gimlet it did not hit in the way I had hoped but that is ultimately my fault and not theirs. Food-wise, there is a lot to choose from, which makes deliberation quite difficult. At least from what we ordered, it seems that the apps are smallest, the veggie/rice sides are in the middle, and not surprisingly the entrees are quite a bit bigger (and filling). Eats, below: Wood Ear Mushroom Salad (Poached and mixed with chili and lemon sauce): A Far and away the best veggie we got. The texture was perfection and the preparation itself was relatively simple in a way that really let the mushrooms sing. Cucumber Salad (Tossed in scallion & ginger sauce, sesame oil): B+ Really nice flavors, just felt the texture was very very slightly bordering on slimy (I think it was because of the way the sauce interacted with the natural wateriness of the cucumber) which I hesitate to say because I don't it to fully turn anyone off but I can't think of a more fitting way to describe it. Kung Pao Chicken (Peanuts, chili pepper and peppercorn): A Savory and delicious, didn't have all that much of this because the prawns really drew me in but this is a no-brainer and a crowd pleasure. Tea Smoked Duck (Bone-in smoked duck, hoisin sauce): A- Solid execution, nothing too memorable but still very good and a decent portion. Fei - Hong Spicy Prawn (Tiger Prawn, crispy pepper, peanut): A As I mentioned, this dish had my heart. Something about the combination of the prawn, sauce, and crispy pepper just made it feel like a texture and spice party that I absolutely loved. Glazed Eggplant: B+ Flavors were there, would've liked if there was a little more crispiness. It's a sizable portion -- significantly bigger than the cucumber and mushrooms salads (which are in the apps rather than the sides section) so keep that in mind when ordering.

Perfect place to get shareable with friends for a quick bite without any reservations even on a weekend, with the flexibility of a communal table too.
