Stopped in on our way home on a snowy/rainy-ish wet Sunday evening. Back room was pretty busy, with one large party and a couple of other tables filled; front room had one occupied table; this was around 6:30. By the time we left, maybe 45 or 55 minutes later, it was packed! We had a simple dinner: edamame to share as our appetizer. This is a bowl filled with perfectly cooked edamame, lightly salted by restaurant standards, and we prefer it that way. Tasty! Then we shared 2 entrees: the Vegetable Trio, with eggplant, green beans and snow peas in a black bean sauce; and spinach in garlic sauce. This was a good-sized mound of obviously very fresh sautéed spinach with some garlic cloves. Usually the veg trio is spicy but my husband likes only mild spice, so this was good but I think would have been better with a "kick." Both we requested with brown rice. We ate every bit and headed back out into the slushy snow, satisfied with the spur or the moment dinner!

There's also the much better Hui on East 70th, but that's a bit more of a schlep. I've been here for their lunch special, which is reasonably priced and includes an appetizer, rice, and your choice of entree. The service was slightly slow, and it was quiet and clean. I went with the Hot and Sour, which was good. Other appetizer options include spring rolls, a vegetable hot and sour, or a free drink, such as a Coke. It wasn't overly gloopy and had plenty of vegetables and tofu inside. I also liked the tofu texture, and there were some ginger, wood ear, and a few other things. Some spots have a bit more kick, but this was still good and definitely on the Sichuan sour/spicy end rather than the cornstarch-laden version found at American Chinese spots. My main dish was the Double Cooked Pork/Hui Guo Rou, which I believe was $12.50 or so. I got white rice, though they also have fried rice or brown rice as options. Listed as tender pork belly, twice-cooked for rich flavor and velvety texture, this was pretty good. I have had better flavored pork belly at a few other spots, but it was nice. It was a bit salty from all the douchi, or fermented black beans, but the rice, as usual, helped tone down the saltiness. In terms of mala, the spice was a bit mild and a bit numbing, but not too much. This was a decent and acceptable version. This was an alright Szechuan spot. I don't go out of my way to eat here, but it does well in a pinch.

I noticed a nearby Indian restaurant on the bus ride over. Since they were closing soon after our arrival, we hit the Chinese restaurant next door instead ..... and it was great! Grand Sichuan Eastern offers $12.95 lunch specials including soup and entree. Their hot and sour is deliciously spicy. I could have downed a second bowl. The vegetables in my chicken-with-vegetables, were crisp. A satisfying choice. Rather than defaulting to steamed rice, you're given a choice of fried, steamed or brown with no upcharge. I'd happily return. Plenty of options on the lunch menu. I appreciate the staff continuously filling our water and leaving us to chat unbothered. We were there so long, I realized I had to cut out, to cook my husband the dinner I offered to make!

I knew I wanted to try the Half Peking Duck to share. We also ordered the Roast Pork Lo Mein, Scallion Pancake with Beef, Truffle Shrimp Shumai, Pumpkin Pancake, Pan Fried Fish Dumplings, and Pork Soup Dumplings, which were free, due to a special promotion. The Half Peking Duck was served cut up with the crispy skin, cucumber, onion, and oyster sauce, along with perfectly thin pancakes. The Duck was delightfully tender and well seasoned. The skin was a bit on the fatty side. It also could have been more crispy. All the trimmings worked well with the duck, including the crunch of the cucumber, sharp and savory profile of the onion, with the sweet, umami taste of the sauce tying everything together. Roast Pork Lo Mein was delicious and was packed with roast pork, onion, mushrooms, carrots, and snap peas. Noodles were cooked well. Roast Pork was juicy and flavorful. Veggies were fresh and nicely crunchy. Scallion Pancake with Beef was also quite tasty. The pancake exterior was satisfyingly flaky, with plenty of yummy beef and sauce inside. Truffle Shrimp Shumai was delicate, layered, with wonderful truffle taste and succulent shrimp. Pumpkin Cake was oh so sticky, slightly sweet, and mouthwatering with real pumpkin flavor. Fish Dumplings were lightly fried with mild flavored fish filling. Pork Soup Dumplings were just okay, as the skin was too thick and there was not enough soup inside. It is difficult to impress me when it comes to this dish, because I am from Shanghai, so know how the original, authentic version tastes. For dessert, I wanted the Mango Pomelo Sago, but they were out. A few minutes later, the waiter appeared with one on the house! This was a beverage that was light, refreshing, and citrusy, but the quality of the sago was not good and there was not enough of it throughout. Also got to try the Chocolate Mille Crepe Cake, which had many thin layers, was soft and fluffy, as well as wonderfully rich in chocolate goodness. Service was solid. Our waiter was welcoming, patient with our group, and knowledgeable about the menu. We were well taken care of throughout the evening.

I had the special Gaeng Phed Ped Yang and my wife had the green curry. My dishes' lovely duck slices which were generous and are perfectly baked with the crispy skin clearly carefully set above the broth, just lovely. My wife's green curry is clearly handmade with the preferably uneven slicing of peppers and a nicely varied set of tastes which make it interesting even for the frequent green curry eater. Trivia: green curry actually contains no curry, but coconut milk. Both dishes came with white rice and are very good portion sizes, but most impressive is the quality of the dishes. As we are particular, having been spoiled by decade plus of Thai food around Jackson Heights, Queens, we really wanted the fresh and authentic style which LennoxThai does, much to our gladness. Seating is very limited with ~8 tables, most are easily moveable for varying sizes of parties. The staff is very copious thus very quick service whether for the high-volume takeouts or the dine-in which at 4:30p was just 2 other tables, but 2 more added as we finished after 5p. The Toast POS makes payment in person or online easy. It also emits a loyalty discount which comes via the usual Toast marketing streams. Its sanitation, cleansiness, and decor are all clean, confident, and comforting. The murals on the walls of varying Thai scenes are good discussion starters for the far away yet popular lands. The signage makes it easy to find on the otherwise busy 1 Av. I noticed the 2 adjacent restaurant locations are vacant but have signage saying new eateries coming imminently. I particularly liked that the mood of all the patrons, some seemingly regulars, was so upbeat, as loyalty signals good things.

The interior of the restaurant has plenty of seating, which meant we were seated promptly on a Friday night. Service was attentive, and they refilled our water often. We also happened to catch happy hour ($8 cocktails and $6 beers!), which runs all the way until 8pm -- a nice surprise! The menu has a surprising number of authentic Sichuanese dishes that aren't super common in the states (e.g., frog and rabbit), so I'd love to come back and try more things. For food, we ordered the Szechuan Style Green Bean Noodle to start and split the mapo tofu and blistered green beans, along with two portions of white rice. The Green Bean Noodle was served warm, which isn't typical, but otherwise had a good texture and tasty sauce. The mapo tofu and green beans were surprisingly delicious -- the mapo tofu was layered with different spices, and the green beans was a perfect balance of salty, sour (from the mustard greens), and sweet (probably a dash of sugar. My only complaint is that the prices are on the higher side -- the food, plus two beers at happy hour prices, came out to about $90. But could be just a symptom of the area!
