Dumplings
Eugene C.

I came here on a recent Saturday night for a late night dinner in the downtown area. We were looking for a sit down restaurant open late, which seems rare these days. It's refreshing to see a restaurant stay open past 10pm on the weekend, in this case, until 2am, especially below Houston Street. The restaurant was not particularly packed probably given the timing but we were hungry so we ordered the beef chow fun, some sauteed greens, some veggie dumplings, and some Szechuan lamb dish. Our food was made fairly quickly and was tasty. The Szechuan lamb dish definitely had a bit of a kick to it. The greens were good. Chow fun was good too. The portions were big. If I'm being honest I've definitely had better Chinese food and the ambiance is fine for what it is. But it's hard to find a good sit down restaurant open late these days downtown.

Visited Chinatown for the first time and I was looking around for an authentic Szechuan-cuisine restaurant around. I myself love spicy foods so I was excited to try any Szechuan food in Chinatown. I ordered a sprite with their Baby Shrimp with Sichuan Chili sauce Lunch Special. This dish did not disappoint! I love the waitress who attended, she was very sweet and cordial! She was also the hostess too when I came inside the restaurant too. I will say that when they serve your dish, they do serve with chopsticks without handing fork/knife at first so if you need a fork/knife, you'll have to ask the waiter/waitress for one. I wish I took photos of the restaurant inside because it had gorgeous Ancient Chinese decor. I'll definitely be coming back again when I visit New York again.

They give you plastic to eat with

Wow-this is a terrible restaurant. We were one of two tables when we arrived. It took me 3X to order and receive my drink. It is also very expensive for the terrible food- we ordered the oil-doused braised beef, which was so tough that I had to use my spoon AND chopsticks to cut it (my normally functional human front teeth didn't work for this); the yang chow fried rice was overly salted and had two pieces of shrimp in it, total. (See photos.) I ordered a small soup as an appetizer. It came halfway through the dinner. Both front servers were using the mirrored pillars to groom themselves and tie up their hair, which is disgusting AND against the health code. They also didn't wash their hands after, handling all the food, opening beers, and touching the rims of the beer bottles and rice tops with their hands. Also they give you plastic spoons to eat with, despite having metal spoons. In a boiling soup.

It was very hot inside the restaurant and there were alot of flies. The food was OK, it wasn't great but it wasn't bad.

1030PM on a Wednesday and this is the last resort. The flavor is okay, but it's the lack of skill that I think has to be questioned. I am giving this a 3 instead of a 2 because we stayed till 1145PM on a Wednesday night and the staff was friendly and tried their best without AC. The good: lots of things on the menu The bad: lots of things on the menu We had a produce sticker on the bell pepper inside of our hot clay pot (see Pic 3, bad lighting) Food: 1. Xiao Lung Bao Meat was not marinated long enough but still tasty No meat juice inside, which makes or brakes the Xiao Lung Bao 2. Fried Dumplings Thick, thick dough but still tasty The fail of the meal 3. Bitter Melon Spare Rib Clay Pot The spare ribs were very chewy But taste was till okay Surprise jalapeño 4. Onion pancake Free onion pancake because of what happened with the clay pot Hilight of entire meal albeit the fact the onion was slightly more on the fried side Price: $48 total for 1 entree and 2 small eats/appetizers It's not cheap but remember, it's almost 12AM on a Wednesday when we finished

A hidden gem the food is absolutely amazing the service was great the food came out right on time! This place is very popular they had a lot of delivery service! The inside is very clean and feels authentic great seating for small and big parties. They have a lot of options to choose from and the waitresses answered all our questions!

Area med Chilled Chicken w. Chili Sauce (口水鸡) but not spicy
Alex Z.

Came here with Pulsd deal with one appetizer and two main ($20 each) and two drinks. Saturday lunch was empty. Apart from us there was another table at noon on a weekend. So service was fast. Most of the famous Sichuan dishes are 29.90 which is very expensive compare to the Sichuan restaurants nearby. So we ended up couldn't order the ones we wanted; I guess that what the deal I got so I have no complain. But for the price in this place I would not come back without any sort of discount. I saw they have $35 for $50 on yelp deal. Instead of giving discount why not just try to lower the price. The fish fillet in chili sauce is good spicy but nothing really special. Lamb with cumin also taste very decent. The steam chicken with chili oil (口水鸡)doesn't taste like anywhere I had before, not spicy at all the with funky taste. Tan tan noodle was very disappointing, the noodles were cooked too long and was broken apart, despite not having enough sauce to mix it.

Any Tsing Tao in the house?
Foo L.

There's not much open in Chinatown after midnight but there's always Famous Sichuan to rustle up some good luck taste. "Ni hao," I said. "Welcome back Foo." "You seen Adam Richman?" "No, not yet, he come though, Man vs Sichuan he always say! What you have Foo?" "Tsing Tao and sweet and sour crispy fish." "Coming right up number one best late night customer, Foo Ling!" So I leaned back in my chair, and looked around at this little late night gem. Not many like it anymore. The decor is as it always was and will ever be. It was lovingly beat up and barely maintained but warm, comfy and broken in. At a large table sharing plates were three young Chinese couples, laughing in Cantonese. "Here your Tsing Tao, Foo." "Xie Xie." The crispy fish was delish, beer cold, night late. I got up to leave and Adam comes in. "Hey, Foo!" said Adam. "Hey Adam, I'm tired, walking home, sorry homes." "No problem Foo, it's good to see you and it's beautiful out tonight so I'll just sit outside and have a midnight snack!" "Or two!" I said with laugh and a wave as I walked down Pell back towards Mott.

Dan dan, sesame chicken,  Beef with Cumin Sauce
Ruby S.

We've been looking forward to trying authentic Szechuan cuisine for some time now, but Famous Sichuan did not live up to our expectations. The restaurant is conveniently located in central Chinatown, surrounded by many cafes, bakeries, and close to the MTA. It is a large and simple space, comfortably able to fit 100+ guests. We did not have to wait in line or need reservation. The service was prompt and the friendly waitress often checked up on us. After asking for recommendations for population dishes, we decided to get the dan dan noodles ($10), sesame chicken $(18) and beef in cumin ($19$). We did not feel that any of the dishes were particularly impressive. The sesame chicken was not different from what I'd get at my local Chinese food spot for half the price, and the beef cumin was tasty and fragrant, but doused in oil so I could not finish it. Our favorite was the dan dan noodles, which were delicate but flavorful. Ultimately, we felt that the dishes were expensive considering the flavor and quality were average. We saw several tables have the hot pot so that may be the safer option to choose if you're heading to this spot.

Extremely overpriced for the quality. Food was still tasty and they're pretty much the only option around at late nights.

The sour cabbage beef soup was interesting! It tasted nice and beefy, but was a bit too sour for me. The lemon dessert was my favorite!

I did not expect to find a sit down Cantonese & Sichuan Restaurant in the heart of Herald Square…read more For sure a hidden gem worth trying. Came here with two other friends for dinner and we pigged out. We started off with Scallion Pancake with Shredded Duck ($15), which tasted amazing. The pancake was flaky and not overly soaked in oil, while the duck meat enhanced the taste. I think everything should order this for the table. We also got the Dan Dan Noodles w Minced Pork ($8), which is a staple dish in Sichuan cuisine. Make sure you stir the bowl to mix the sauce and minced pork. For veggies, we got the Sautéed Green Beans With Eggplant ($18), which tasted great. I usually get sautéed pea shoots for a veggie dish, but this was worth ordering as the eggplant tasted great along with the green beans. For entrees, we got the Spicy Green Pepper Fish Filet ($28 for filet). A classic Cantonese dish that comes with bok choy, so it turns out I didn't really need to order a veggie dish. Delicious. We also tried the OOHU Mao Xue Wang ($34), which may be one of the most spiciest dish available on the menu. This dish combines blood curd from a duck, tripe, and chicken gizzards along with other organs into a simmered broth containing chilis and peppercorns. They also use spam, vermicelli noodles, mushroom, and other things. If you're adventurous and you like spicy, I would recommend this. Best eaten with a cup of rice. Service is great as our server made good recommends and was overall friendly. They also have a party room you can book, which sounded pretty affordable. Don't recall what their minimum spend was, but it was super reasonable compared to a lot of other spots in Chinatown and Flushing.

We ordered multiple dishes which came out one after the other. Some of the standouts for me were the Pork Intestine Dry Pot ($20.95), Crispy Tofu with Salty Egg Yolk ($23.95), and Sauteed String Beans ($16.95). Many spicy food options since this is a Szechuan spot afterall. Some dishes were a bit too salty and spicy, which they did discount after we brought it to their attention. Overall, decent spot and good for large groups. Otherwise, I didn't find this spot to be too memorable (not bad, not great).
