Sliced beef
Jing K.

A great meal with excellent service. First off, the staff is super efficient and attentive. They were slammed on a Saturday but the staff was hard at work flying around. Offered suggestions when we were ordering, constantly refilling our water, and adding dishes or removing plates to create room. They even help serve the family style entrees when it arrives. Everything was delicious from the creamy, umami silken tofu with shrimp topped with salted egg yolk. It was rich and decadent and delicate all at once. The fish fillet dry pot was huge and more than enough for 3-4 to share. The sliced cold beef dish was surprisingly refreshing compared to the heat of the hot dishes. I didn't get a picture but the stir fry cabbage was delish. Perfect if you are a vegetarian.

We came as a group of 6 for dinner and wanted to try this place. We ordered quite a lot of food and they were all delicious! I think this place is good for those who can handle spice, but there are dishes that are non spicy. I would definitely come back here again some other day!

Boiled fish
Amy H.

Very large portions. Would def come with friends. Boiled fish was good, spicy, and numbing. Make sure you know how to eat fish with bones. Loved the green beans. Staff was nice and gave recs about the menu

Sandra L.

Everything was delicious. Great place for large groups too. Came in for a group of 8 on saturday lunch and was immediately seated. The only dish I did not like was the fish dry pot which had very crunchy, cartilage type fish - which is not my personal favorite. I also prefer regular mapo tofu over the egg one but it was good for try.

Sour Soup with Fat Beef Slices
Stephanie W.

Food here is amazing. Full of flavor and portions are good for sharing and pairs so well with rice! My favorite was definitely the mala duck blood and the chongqing sour fish! Spice level is definitely there so be prepared with glasses of water! The spicy cold noodles with cucumber were also really good, one of the best I've had in a restaurant!

Clarissa L.

Great casual place to stop by for spicy food. This restaurant can get really busy so make sure you make a reservation as they only have a handful of tables upstairs and downstairs. We had the Dan Dan noodles, chengdu spicy wonton, hot spicy fish, and the water cooked spicy beef. The fish was nicely fried and tossed with some vegetables. The beef was really spicy and flavorful, and the portion was nicely sized. We asked for less spicy and I was shocked by how spicy the dishes were still! The Dan Dan was standard and the wontons could have used more sauce and less chili oil. Service was great and staff were great with filling the water. If you check in on Yelp you get a free dessert, a cold jelly with some nuts, seeds and raisins. It had a little medicinal taste to me, but my parents enjoyed it.

It was a very bad experience. two of which were very bad and very salty.they didn't redo it or change the dishes for us. When I arrived, I bought a single discount. I didn't eat two dishes for 100 dollars.

Mala Hot Spicy Pot Mapo Tofu Sweet and Sour Pineapple Chicken Lung Slice Dry Mix Cumin Lamb
Amy L.

Service was attentive and the staff was wonderful! However, everything that we ordered was wayyyyy too salty except the sweet and sour chicken in a pineapple. The mala pot was way saltier than I've had in other places. The cold beef and tendon dish was also on the saltier side. The cumin lamb was pretty good but hard to taste after eating the mala pot. The mapo tofu was mid. Basically, things were so salty that you had to eat a lot of rice with it or drink a lot of fluids with it. At the end you are stuffed but not in a good satisfying way. People with high blood pressure, stay far away! That being said, even healthy people should not be eating this salty! Reply to owner: Thanks for the reply! Hopefully the food will be less salty the next time I visit as I do like being able to enjoy my food. If not, I'll make sure to let the staff know and to remake. The good thing is that I have leftovers for a week now! The flavor of each dish is so bold that I can only eat a little bit of it at a time with a lot of rice and bland vegetables.

Hot Spicy Fish Fillet
Brian G.

Love their Szechuan cuisine , a hidden gem! I have not had better mapo tofu than here, epic place!

Mala Cold Noodle
Shilpa M.

One of the tastiest Chinese I've ever had in New York. We had a private room walk-in downstairs for a group of 9 Sunday around 5. Every dish was delicious and tasted different from each other. We started with hand-pulled dumplings. Then Mala cold noodles, recommended in the review on their door. Sour fish soup - also had glass noodles. Chicken with red peppers. King pap chicken. Mushrooms. Greens. MaPo Tofu - had an orangey flavor. Cucumber was also delicious. Not one bad dish. Over $100 bill, you get a free sake.

Kung Pao chicken 宫保鸡丁
Alex Z.

came back after a couple years, the food at this place is still outstanding. they have very big menu with a lot of selections, very authentic Sichuan cuisine. the spicy lamb shank is a bomb, super flavorful with two shanks fulled apart. the spicy pot fish is just alright, wish there are more fish in the pot. Service was great and the price is decent compares to the city.

Mapo Tofu Garlic Chopped Cucumber
Reema S.

I am back here once again to remind people of this amazing neighborhood restaurant that continues to consistently dish out some of the most delectable meals I have ever had. I dined here again a few days ago. This place is my go to spot to impress my friends and showcase all the amazing culinary experiences. Sunset Park has to offer. The Mapo tofu here is still super outstanding. The cucumber salad is absolutely delicious with wonderful balance of flavors. The green tea is served piping hot. Service is top-notch and they are so thoughtful and considerate. The way they pack leftovers is a professional art worthy of study. I tried the fish fillet dish and it comes with so many vegetables on a bed of hand pulled noodles and the most delicious broth. They are super mindful of my no pork preference. There's always ample amount of seating although this time I did notice that it was a little cold in the dining area, something maybe they could improve for a better experience.

Nancy H.

Have been here many times with friends and family. Great place for a group dinner with reasonable prices and good portions. Some of my faves are the sour beef soup, griddle cabbage, and salted egg yolk tofu. Service is quick and the food comes pretty fast. If you check in on yelp, you get a free bing fen. The waiters are super nice and often give us extra portions of the bing fen.

Any non spicy/less spicy dishes to recommend?

Does the number work? Called many times no one answered.

The work number is 929-295-0128, if it doesn’t work maybe it’s because the line is busy or you can try calling 347-675-9524.

Does this place offer the dish boiled beef?

Are you talking about the 水煮牛肉? They do have it for the fish here, as for beef the only item I saw as their "Hot Spicy Beef pot" It's a dry-hot pot with thin beef slices.

Firstly, The housemade lime ice tea we got was refreshing on a hot day today and juicy but not too sugary. I tried the scallion pancakes which are my favorite appetizer snack but it was a little bland and not was crispy as I'd like it. We ordered the fried eggplant accordion which was tender on the inside with a crisp exterior. I don't think I was a fan of the sweet-sour sauce though (just my preference) as it seemed sweeter than I'd like. Service was prompt enough. Plenty of seating but busy and popular nonetheless. I'd try it again and if I wasn't a wimp with spicy food I'm sure heat-adventurers would enjoy this! My FAVORITE was the Dan Dan noodles. I highly recommend this one. Can't go wrong. The sauce blended evenly with the thin noodles. It was less "greasy" than previous Dan Dan noodles I've had elsewhere.

The food is why we are all here and this place did not miss! We sat at the bar because we didn't have a reservation and it was a Sunday night. We were told the specials for the night with great detail, we snagged one of the last soup dumplings and they are incredible. The only other place I've had soup dumplings as good is in flushing - that's high praise from this queens girl. Next up we ordered the scallion pancakes - which ruined all other scallion pancakes for me. They were ultra crispy and flaky. The dipping sauce was deeply flavorful and the portion was perfect. We also ordered the chicken wantons that came in a chili crisp oil and peanut sauce, delicious. The pork noodles were the secret star because the description was pretty straight forward. But my partner is a chef and insisted we get them. They were some of the best noodles I've ever had. Definitely made in house and they were coated in a flavorful sauce.

Food was decent and there are a lot of options on the menu. Would I come here again? Maybe to try their rice dishes after reading other reviews, but I wouldn't come back for the tomato based hot pot. Ambiance 3/5: A little chaotic. A lot of kids (middle or high schoolers) probably because of the cheaper prices and according to other reviews a discount with student ID. Another large party came in and started moving tables around and people that appeared to be regulars seated themselves. Service 4/5: We were seated immediately at a table for 2 on a Saturday afternoon. Food came out within 10 minutes of ordering. It became busier towards the end of our lunch and it was hard flagging someone to bring us a check. Food 4/5: Decent. Main selling point is its affordability. I regret not looking at other reviews before coming here as people say their rice dishes are pretty good. We got their pre-made tomato hot pot soup base, GF got the original soup base, and some stir fried potatoes. - Tomato hot pot 3/5: I did like this at first. Not sure if the saltiness of our appetizer overpowered the flavors of the soup but it started to taste too sweet (kind of like ketchup?). Slightly disappointed at that. I tried the original soup base and like it more so probably pick another base if you come here. No complaints about the ingredients you get to add though, those were delicious. I chose Udon, fatty beef, fish filet, honeycomb tripe, and enoki mushrooms. - Stir fried potatoes 4/5: They look like fries but they're not crispy. Very flavorful though; salty and spicy. I can see the appeal and would be great as a separate snack but it made my noodle soup taste bland in comparison...
