Very tasty and reasonably priced sichuan food. This will be my go to for sichuan in flushing from now. The lady answering phone did not speak english. And so I tried to order via their website which had ordering had issues. So I had to order via door dash which jacks up prices a few bucks. Still reasonable even at the door dash inflated prices. But better to have a Mandarin speaker place the order. Generous portions. 1 dish per person easily enough. Fish in oil was my favorite. Cumin lamb was fairly good, although I've had better at other places. Double pork was not spicy at all. A little too salty for my taste. Located very close to sky Mall read more

we have been their loyal customer over years.However, for our recent visit, we found the dish is NOT as good as before, it's change a lot, we believe the chef has been changed... Today, we also very angry with their service, very rude to the customer, specially the loyal customer, like us... read more

A relatively average Sichuan spot, most dishes here were sufficient, priced relatively well, but lacked anything that took any of the dishes above and beyond what you'd get at an average Sichuan restaurant. Ordered 7 dishes here, Chongqing chicken, pork spareribs, garlic eggplants, sauteed stringbeans, beef with bean curd, cumin lamb and a flounder dish, with the best dish being the beef with bean curd since it incorporated a lot of ma la spices that left my mouth feeling numb. Everything else here unfortunately was not that memorable and didn't really pop out at me with the typical spice and flavor Im normally used to for Sichuan food. Come here if you're in a bunch for Sichuan, otherwise flushing has a multitude of restaurants to try read more

Delicious Sichuan food! The food was not too spicy as well, although you can probably ask for spicier. The waiter warned us that the stir fried green peppers were spicy and I was expecting the worse, but the spice level wasn't too bad. Pretty tasty dish even though I don't usually like peppers. Actually all the dishes that we had were great! Especially the boiled fish in chili oil and lamb with onions. read more

I was here with a bunch of others who were looking for a spicy kick and this place did not disappoint. A Chinese woman who has been here plenty of times ordered the following 8 dishes and it was a plentiful amount of food for the price (I believe around 20 bucks or so.) Before I begin, special thanks to Google Lens for the direct translations from their online menu. As with other places with a lot of dishes, I'll be splitting it by preference: Excellent: Dry Mixed Beef/干拌牛肉/Ganban Niurou. This was outstanding. Very nice texture to the dried meat with a lot of flavor and kick. It was finished very quickly at the table Beef With Bean Curd Sauce/豆花 牛肉片/Douhua Niurou Pian. I've had this dish the more traditional style with fish which we didn't order as we were already getting another fish dish but I preferred it with beef. The beef had a wonderful flavor from the bean curd. Would also highly recommend. Very good: Boiled Sliced Fish in Hot Chili Sauce/水煮鱼/Shui Zhu Yu. Also very tasty. Fish was very tender but not as spicy as some people thought it would be. Smokey wok tossed green peppers//虎皮尖椒/Hu Pi Jian Jiao. This was the surprise hit of the table. The name of the dish translates to tiger skin peppers from the texture of them being smoked. There was a bit of Russian roulette as some of them had the head with all the seeds but some of them were not spicy. I'm usually not that big a fan of regular peppers but this was good. Sautéed pea shoots/豆苗/Doumio. Nicely flavored and a good little extra dish to go with the rest. Not too much oil also. Good Sautéed String Beans With Minced Pork/干煸四季豆/Gan Bian Si Ju Dou. This was good but it was hard to take the pork. The string beans had a good texture though. Stir Fried Lamb With Cumin/孜然羊肉/Zi Ran Yang Rou. Unfortunately the cumin was a bit too light. Alright lamb. Double Cooked Pork With Chili Leeks/回鍋肉/Hui Guo Rou. Tasty but as per the previous dish, I preferred the version from the restaurant a few doors down as the pork had better texture there and it was less chewy. The person who had been here said that this was the one dish that wasn't as good as last time she was there along with the lamb. There was also free cabbage like other tables as a palate cleanser in-between all the spice though we didn't get as big a portion as a smaller table nearby but it wasn't really an issue. Overall the food was very tasty. Not many complaints especially with the three or four best dishes. The cumin lamb and the double pork were the odd disappointments in a sea of very good dishes but overall it was reasonable and very tasty and I can see why she liked the place prior. Mid 4. read more

Hot Kitchen remains one of my most favorite Szechuan restaurants. Ditto to everything I wrote in my previous reviews. I've been coming to this restaurant for quite a number of years, and they have been consistently great. Hospitality and service has always been welcoming, accommodating and friendly. The only slight drawback is that not all of the staff speaks English; however, there is usually at least one person there at most times, who does. Seek them out if you don't speak Mandarin. Love this place. I usually go with a big crowd and they are always terrific. Highly recommended! Note:. If you are not Asian, best to emphasize how spicy you'd prefer your food. If you want really HOT, make sure to let them know. read more

The lunch specials were rather meh, so won't be ordering that again. The spicy fish was not bad. The eggs and tomatoes and the potatoes with beef were both bad. The pea shoots was on point but the Chong Ching fried chicken was good but not the best I have tasted. It lacked numbing peppers. Overall, I had way better. read more

Hands down, they have the BEST fish fillet in spicy chilli oil. If you come here, don't bother order anything else but that. I've tried sooo many fish fillets in chili oil through out flushing/elmhurst/queens and nothing beats this place. read more

Ordered food to go for the first time. I would have given 5 stars, but.... POSITIVES -Authentic and flavorful Sichuan flavors -Prepared quickly and everything was still hot after getting home. NEGATIVES -Sautéed Omasum (beef tripe) was very hard and chewy. Not tender enough. -The YangZhou Fried Rice contained only 3 small shrimp...really??? -Portion sizes could be more generous considering the prices. Not cheap; that's for sure. All considered, the food was actually quite delicious, so will surely stop by again :-). read more

Went back recently for lunch & it was as amazing as I remember. Just to let you know they doing indoor dining again! You will have to bring your vaccine card & ID to be seated, and I think they are still cash only. I totally recommend the string beans, dan dan noodled & the boiled sliced fish. I get it everytime I go, and it has never failed. I will say its not very spicy/numby but it tastes SOOO good. I finally tried the chongqing chicken for the first time and it was really good! A bit spicier than their other items, but still isnt a mind blowing spice. My friend and I agreed that it was good to have with rice but it really suits being a drinking (beer) snack. It was chicken cut into small chunks fried super crunchy (but not dry) and I can totally see it being a great drinking snack. read more

Came here a 2nd time and ordered: Wonton in chili oil: really good and decent sized (I prefer this here than at Szechuan House next door but both are good) Dan dan noodles: ok, I think Szechuan House does it slightly better due to the garlic they add Beef tendon: was given a good amount of beef tendon and has a more peppercorn taste; not as soft or thinly sliced as S.H., but the flavors are different and depending on what you like, it could go either way - I'm a fan of both! This one is definitely not as garlicky All in all, Hot Kitchen is still a great restaurant to eat at. I like to compare dishes to see what I would get at each one. read more

Delicious! They have a great lunch special that's less than 10$ each. Each item was packed full and very tasty. Especially liked the Kung pao chicken and pork with bamboo. Both super flavorful. The twice cooked pork was kinda bland and fatty wouldn't get again. Also came w rice and a pickled cabbage. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon with family. It was a raining and cold day so the spicy dishes really hit the spot. The food is authentic and it seems like the customers are the mainly Chinese. The decor is basic and clean. The service was ok though at the time I went, it was only 3 tables with customers. We got the double cooked pork belly, a veg. and tofu soup, the spicy fish, and some cold cuts. The dishes were simple and tasted fine. I didn't have a out of this world culinary experience (like the first time I had duck confit in France) but if your expectation is a nice and inexpensive family meal, then this is the spot. read more

Hot Kitchen is located on Roosevelt Avenue where Little Pepper Hot Pot was situated....above where Little Pepper used to be down stairs. This place is the bomb! Clean, hospitable(family operated) with a vast menu. After trying literally all the various ethniticities of Chinese cuisine in Flushing we found this place to be the best. For Appys we had: *Sliced Pork Belly in chili Garlic Sauce- perfect consistancy of pork belly with outstanding hot red chili sauce. Mmmmm ! * Sichuan Wontron with Red Hot Chili Oil - Tender Wonton in super red hot sauce. So good we dipped other items in it for heat. On to the mains: * Chef's Mapo Tofu - Best we ever had...Tofu just firm enough to pik up with sticks and the sauce was hot with meat which added consistancy and taste. Was super for lunch the next day.,..hot and tasty * Chongqing Spicy Chicken - Outstanding....hot crisp morsals of chicken mixed in with a copious quantity of red chili peppers...loved that dish! * Double cooked Pork Belly with Chili Leeks- Taste was spot on and Leeks were tender and tasty. All this plus a soda and Tsing Tao Beer for a whopping $41 total!! Woo Hoo...good as it gets...albeit its CASH ONLY..but for these prices you cant go wrong. This is our new go to place for food that is not only Mala but tasty...... read more

Very very spicy Chinese food! I would say their mild spicy is already like 5/5! So just be careful when you order their spicy dishes. Other than that, their spicy fish is very yummy, the spicy popcorn chicken is a must try too! read more

They have the best chongqing chicken (very spicy tho), dry pot cabbage! I've been to many sichuan restaurants and this place does is the best. read more

Check My Picture Below. So Disgusting That A Dead Caterpillar In The Food!!! I will definitely give this place zero star if it is possible. Do you know how we feel when a piece of "protein" laid on the dish? We didn't ask for discount or free meal. I hope the restaurant will be shut off some day. read more

Double Cooked Pork Belly - so good! I don't usually like this dish because it usually has a gamey flavor, but this one didn't. Chong Qing Spicy Chicken - chicken is the crispy kind. The 2nd time I had it, it was maybe too crispy for me, but still tasty. Beef w/ Bean Curd Sauce - just as good the 2nd time around. Spicy Chili Beef - sweet, like beef jerky. The 2nd time, I was already over the novelty of it. Hot Pepper Veggie with Beef - this beef dish with less sauce tastes pretty good to me, though it's not spicy (which was why some people didn't like it). Shredded Beef with Fresh Hot Pepper: This other beef dish with a lot of sauce, practically a soup, was not to my liking, but other people liked it. Hot Spicy Beef Tripe Tongue - I don't like tripe, but the sauce in this dish is great. Sauteed Bitter Melon w/black bean sauce - not as bitter as it usually is, so it was good for me. Sliced Fish w/ Hot Chili Sauce. Tea Smoked Duck - not to my liking, but other people liked it. Sauteed Pea Sprouts - really bland. read more

This place is underrated for sure. The food is pretty authentic with reasonable price. My friend had a good experience here for a family gathering, so she recommended to me as well.

1- boiled sliced fish in hot chili sauce Frozen sole fish sliced cover on the bean sprouts, yes spicy, but the salty taste is way toooooo much than the spicy taste, really? Failed ! 2- spicy chili broth with frog (this is suggested by the old lady/owner?) I'm trying my best best best to looking for my frog which is chopped into the pieces like fingertips big size and I was counting it has 7-8 pcs totally, is there even half pc of a frog I doubt it.Ridiculous! 3-we were ordered the Chinese kimchi w shredded pork which they said run out of order, so we changed into Fried potatoes, green pepper and egg plant. I do like the texture of the potato, but it's all very greasy and salty.... omg do they really have to make the dish I suppose to like that salty, so I couldn't have more than three bites? 4-green peppers with shredded beef Finally I guess this is the only dish we can both eat and share with the rice together. Again, I can't stand that salty salty taste which is already covered all the other flavor..... This is not a happy experience of my food adventures, I won't say personally this is not a good Sichuan restaurant, however I'm afraid I have been ordering the wrong or non-signature dish. Maybe or not come back here again, at least not very soon, sorry! read more

Chinese speaking waitstaff with broken to halfway-decent English, cash only and most (if not all) of the people eating there are Chinese? You know this place is good! Prices are reasonable for the portions they give. The only disappointing part of our meal was the duck. There's much better out there but for the price it was OK. Protip: you can park at the Flushing mall (with the Target, Nordstrom Rack, etc.) And just walk over. $3 for up to 3 hrs of parking! read more

Came here for hot pot with my family, first we were not impressed with the restaurant set up and the environment, but as soon as we were seated the hot pot came in nice bowl where one side is vegetarian and one side is non veg, the soup was so flavor except our complain was there was to much Sichuan pepper and red pepper. They gave us so much food more than we could eat. The people work here don't understand English but they are so nice . If you are looking for authentic Hot pot this is good place but can get unexpected crowd. Parking is on street we were lucky to find right in front . They have different menus, you can also order and regular menu where I found similar to other place( chinese). We Don't know when we will be back in this area but I will come back . read more

Super underrated restaurant in Flushing. It used to go by a different name and was a full hot pot place but now they still have hot pot and more. I really like their hot pot!!! For about $23, you get an initial plate of food to put in the hot pot and the hot pot itself. Of course, I always order some extras. My favorites are: lamb slices, fish balls, ALL types of mushrooms, cabbage and more. The spicy soup is my favorite and they have a very good one. I thoroughly enjoyed the hot pot. In addition, I've tried fried corn, a clear gelatin type dish with shrimp and tofu, and an eggplant dish. DUDE all of these are FIRE. The fried corn??? Yo, tell popcorn his era is over. This is what they need at movie theaters. It's fried, sweet and warm! Amazing. The shrimp and tofu dish looked so odd and had a mysterious taste, but I was so into it. It went perfectly with the hot pot. The eggplant.... I have no words. Incredible. I need to go back here right now because I was definitely Sichuanese in my past life and the craving is never-ending. read more

Hot Kitchen Sichuan Style 满嘴香 - Szechuan Near Me - Flushing, New York

I have been to Hot Kitchen Sichuan Style 满嘴香 a lot with my family. However, the original boss of the restaurant got changed, and now the original boss' son is taking care of the restaurant. The menu items price had gone up. The food is still delicious, but the quality went down a little. Some side dish is also no longer served, the service is still good, except the boss always sounds lazy. If you order takeouts remember to tell the waiter/waitress to add a little less soup in dishes that contains soup, I have met several situation where there's too many soup, that the whole bag got all oily. However, the foods is still very good and I will be visiting the restaurant at least once a week.

This is one of my favorite place to get the cold chicken with chili sauce. Their chicken is really tender and soft, and they have onions in their sauce, which gives it a distinct sweet flavor that other places don't have. It's spicy scale is about like 7/10 for me but it's just enough spice to enjoy without feeling uncomfortable. Their boiled sliced fish in hot chili sauce (106) is also really good. The soup base for the boiled fish is numbing and spicy, which goes perfectly with rice. Overall, I really love this restaurant and the prices are good. read more

Came here on a Friday night and it was empty aside from 2 customers. Someone wasn't even in the front so we just seated ourselves. Kinda gave me a bad impression from the start but my friend recommended it. We ordered two cold noodle dishes and a tofu dish. I came in with low expectations but I was pleasantly impressed. It was delicious but super spicy. Had to ask for extra ice water and napkins cause my nose kept getting runny from being so spicy. We even had to order rice to suppress the spiciness of the tofu. Overall, the food was really good but could've laid back a bit on how hot it was read more

First time having Sichuan! Everything I had was great! Highly recommend! Pork belly, spicy chicken, and fried corn were amazing!

Really need to give this place five stars. Here used to be little pepper which was pretty good too but they moved to college point long time ago, not very convenient to get to so we have been going to chuan ba wang next door or Spicy&tasty and they are really average compare to before. I was so excited to try hot kitchen as my aunt first took me there, it is a family business and they are all from sichuan,the wife runs the table, husband is the chef behind, son is the waiter. Their price is the lowest among all the sichuan places nearby, most important it's very authentic food, service is slow though on the weekend night when they are busy. We live in Hell's Kitchen and won't mind the 1 hour train ride to this place two times in a month. As a Sichuan native, a few recommendations for this place -chongqing spicy chicken -stir fry string beens -sweet and sour rib -stir fry kidney -smoked duck read more

If it's possible, I'll give this tiny little restaurant a minus 5 points for their unprofessional service. I went there around 12:15 on a Monday as a single customer, ordered a lunch special that includes soup and rice. Usually in other Chinese restaurants for lunch specials, there are options for soups. But the waitress didn't bother to ask me. So I guess she knew what I wanted. After I placed the order and waited for the soup, a lady came in and told the waitress she was with a party of four. So she was there waiting for other three people. Let me call this group as the first one after me. 3 or 5 minutes, a second group came in. There were four of them and they knew exactly what they wanted. So they quickly placed the order. I could hear one of them was the same as mine. Then the three customers for the first group all showed up, they placed the order. While I was still waiting for my soup, the waitress brought soups and dishes for the second group. One of the dishes was what I ordered too. I kept quiet and just played with my phone and waited for my soup. After three minutes, I saw the waiter brought in a plate with soup and walking toward me. I put down my phone and was eager to eat. It's been twenty minutes since I ordered. To my dismay, the waiter gave the dish to the first group. At this point, I was too hungry to say a word, so I left. So the motto of service of this restaurant is, we will serve customers based on the numbers, not on first come first served. I understand larger groups get first priority. But I was left behind not just once, but twice! No apologies, no explanation, just took me for granted. A good restaurant should treat all customers nicely. If you are not with four people, don't ever go there. Because you will be ignored for a long time. BTW, there are many good restaurants nearby, no need to get treated by this bad service. read more

It's an authentic Sichuan restaurant in flushing! Always go for the hotpot but the other dishes look tasty too! The soup is so spicy that you have to drink water on every bite. But it's a really traditional taste of Sichuan spicy hotpot. Your tongue will feel numb too. Their food is tasty and fresh. The lady and another guy are good in service. We ate so much and we can't finish the rest of it. Five of us paid 16 included the tips. It's a really good price! I will definitely want to come back again! read more
