    Ma-La Prawns (With Bones)
    Vera T.

    Heard friend raving about this place so se have to try. This place is busy, so expect lines and add waiting time. We tried swing pork belly, I could see almost every table has this. Such a balanced good flavor. The chicken dish is just okay, I had it better elsewhere, prawn is better. My favorite would be the mapo tofu. We also order the water spinach that's not arrived by the time we almost finish out food. Service is good, love the complimentary tea.

    I made a reservation day before for 5:30 PM on a Saturday night, for my friend's birthday. When we arrived we were seated at a small table for 2, the chairs are wooden stools with no backing, very hard and uncomfortable. The hostess came with 2 large buckets to put our coats in but she left it at an empty table behind ours as she got distracted with seating another party...I move it over and put them under our table so there goes the leg room as well. I'm just surprised why other party of 2s were seated at banquets and there were empty slots available but she sat us there...alas I decided not to bring this up to not dampen the mood. Seating was terrible, our backs and behinds ached by the end of the meal and we didn't want to stay any longer because of it. I think front house management can do a better job of seating arrangements (those with reservations and notes versus walk-ins, especially for special events). They serve a free hot pot of tea and some pickled cabbages when you sit down. Food is selected from an electronic menu and you send it to the kitchen, from which a server came over to confirm our selections are correct and asked if we had any food allergies. Service was polite and on point. They changed our plates once throughout our dining experience. Food wise, it's hit or miss. We got: - Fu-Qi special for appetizer, pretty good - Pickled Pepper Frogs (with bones), this was excellent - Fried Rice with Szechuan pickles and bacon. This was disappointing, the rice was soggy and unflavored...like the chef forgot to put salt...it's really not OK for a Chinese restaurant to mess up on fried rice especially at $19.95. Uncle Roger would not be happy lol. - Sautéed water spinach, also super disappointing. Lacked flavor entirely, not a single taste of salt...this is the one vegetable dish that almost every Chinese restaurant chefs cooks, this is the worst one I've ever had. $17.95, I'll say skip it! Overall, the bill came out to close to a little over $100 for a party of 2. I can find much better Szechuan restaurants in Flushing for a this price and more comfortable seating.

    La-Zi Chicken (With Bones)
    Susan W.

    Came here for a dinner date and had such a great experience. The interior is beautiful and has such an authentic vibe. The restaurant was packed for dinner but we still got seated right away. We ordered the La-Zi chicken, eggplant, sour beef cabbage soup, and a sour plum drink. Everything was so flavorful and delicious, and the sour plum drink was super refreshing. What really made this place stand out though was the service. The staff was incredibly attentive and thoughtful. They even offered me a hair tie which I thought was such a sweet touch.

    Food: This is one of my favorite restaurants EVER, and I usually go to the location in Manhattan located on St. Marks. This restaurant serves traditional Sichuan cuisine, but they also have other non-spicy dishes. We tried the string beans, fish in chili oil, sizzling tofu, and fried rice. All four dishes were amazing, and I would highly recommend them, especially the fish in chili oil. For this dish, you have a choice of black fish (bones) or a fish without bones; if you're okay with a few bones, I would suggest getting the black fish which has a silkier and softer meat. String beans were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Service: Service was good but could be better. It took a while to get someone when we needed water or wanted to get the bill because they were so busy. Ambiance: The decor is beautiful in this restaurant. They can accommodate both small and large groups. Seating is comfortable and spacious. They have nice booths as well as tables throughout the restaurant. Seating is always sectioned off and separated so you don't feel like you're sitting right next to anyone. They have definitely put a lot of thought into the ambiance of the restaurant from the design of the menus to the table setting to the fountain in front. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant!

    Ma-Po Tofu
    Anne C.

    Loveddd mountain house!! We went really early at around 4pm on a Sunday and it was still packed!! Waited about 10 mins and got seated pretty quickly. My only regret is not going with more people so we could have tried more dishes. They gave an appetizer of spicy cabbage, and we got the swing pork belly, the mapo tofu and string beans. It's been forever since I've had the swinging pork in the US so that was refreshing to have. But the standout dishes were the mapo tofu and the string beans! Loved them both and they were not too spicy but had the mala spice / burn to the tongue to them. Delicious!! Loved that they also provided tea with the food too. And super affordable pricing for New York and large portions. We will definitely be back!

    Crispy String Beans
    Jacqui L.

    I'm still daydreaming about the Schezuan Chicken. It was perfectly spicy, the pork belly was well stir-fried and the string beans were nice and tender. The crispy tofu had a bit of an umami flavor that my boyfriend loved but I could've done without. There is a rustic ambiance to the place which I really like and service was good! The meal comes with this delicious fragrant tea and pickled veggies as an fyi. Note: There is a lot of peppercorn in the chicken which my boyfriend found numbed his mouth if that's something you'd want to avoid! I personally like it :)

    Probably my favorite Sichuan place in NYC! Coming in on a Friday night, I felt the wait wasn't too bad - I would say about 20 mins. I had the mapo tofu, tomato fish stew, shrimp fried rice, and a chicken dish that I can't remember the name of. I was worried about the spice level so ordered mild, but mild was definitely mild. I think that affected the mapo tofu the most as it became more of a dish on the sweeter side. My two favorite dishes was the tomato fish stew and the fried rice! Would definitely order those 2 again!

    Went with my daughter to Mountain House since she's been before and loves spicy food. First time for me and beautiful ambiance & decor as well as food! Unfortunately my tolerance isn't as high as in my youth so I asked for least spicy and spicy sauce for her on the side. The tea was yummy with a really cool cup. I really enjoyed the wontons but everything was delish. Service was great. Tipped our waitress high since she was fast, nice & pleasant.

    Szechuan Numbing Chicken
    Sabrina H.

    I had a great time coming to Mountain House. I have been to the Manhattan location previously but it was much easier to get a reservation and seated quickly at this location in Flushing. We got the double cooked pork, which is my favorite dish here. The eggplant was also very saucy and delicious. We also got this chicken and the spicy base added to the flavor. Overall, a really great experience. I really like the hot tea that they serve as well, although the tea pot is really heavy to pour from.

    Sarah Y.

    Delicious Szechuan food! The ambiance was nice and service was great! Food was not unbearably spicy, it was a perfect amount. We went pretty late (8-9pmish) and there was no line, which was amazing. Will definitely be coming back for more!

    Originally, my family and I planned on going to nearby Che Li for dinner, but when we arrived, we were told the wait would take 2+ hours. Luckily, we rounded the corner to their sister restaurant and managed to snag a booth immediately. We ordered the swing pork belly ($14.95) to start, which ended up being one of my favorite dishes of the night. Slices of blanched pork belly and cucumber strips alternate and hang above this mildly spicy chili oil with a mound of grated garlic in the center. I found it quite refreshing (the cucumber comes in handy for later spicier dishes) and suitable for less spice-tolerant palates. We also ordered the la-zi chicken ($20.95) and the peppercorn beef ($25.95), both of which were delicious but not for the faint-hearted. In particular, I really enjoyed the peppercorn beef, but in small doses, as those Sichuan peppercorns were no joke and left me numb and drooling. We balanced the peppercorn-heavy entrées with some non-spicy crispy sizzling tofu ($19.95), grilled beef ribs ($28.95), and sautéed Chinese long beans and eggplant ($15.95). Unfortunately, I did not care for the tofu, which had a light and crispy crust but stuck to your teeth and was otherwise bland, nor the grilled beef ribs which were nothing special and quite overpriced for the portion. I did enjoy the sautéed Chinese long beans and eggplant, which had a delightful textural contrast between the crunchy beans and soft eggplant. Overall, I did enjoy most of my meal at Szechuan Mountain House and like its sister, Che Li, the menu is well thought out, the service is impeccable, and the decor is absolutely gorgeous.

    Outside entrance

    We came for lunch after work because someone suggested this place. They said it had authentic flavors and they enjoyed it last time they were here. The restaurant had a unique entrance way in the midst of the modern surroundings. Inside was very serene and well decorated. We were seated fairly quickly and give menus and tea. The jasmine tea was very fragrant. I loved it. There was a QR code at the table that you can use to access a menu too. Our coworker ordered for us. We got the Beef Sour soup, hot oil wontons, country braised pork, golden corn kernels, fried rice with Szechuan special greens, sautéed Chinese long beans with eggplant, and a beef dish. Everything was delicious. The soup was spicy and you can feel it at the back of your throat. The wontons were not that spicy and were ok. We've had better. The eggplant was a big hit. I never had the corn before and I really liked it. The corn was sweet covered in a crunchy, salty duck egg coating. The braised pork was a little too salty because of the preserved vegetables. We needed more rice because many of the dishes had lots of sauce. There wasn't enough fried rice. Overall it was a good meal in a pretty atmosphere.

    Beef tongue and tripe
    Mia H.

    I came here a while ago to celebrate LNY with some friends and their family. The interior of the restaurant is pretty traditional and lively. Service was okay. We were a fairly big group and they first tried to seat us at a tiny booth. When we requested to change the tables (especially because we knew that we were going to order a lot), it was a bit difficult and they made us wait really long. Once we got seated though, we immediately ordered many MANY dishes (see photos). We ordered the szechuan numbing chicken, the mung bean jelly, beef tongue and tripe, the swing pork belly, the dumplings in chili oil, the lazi chicken, the pork intestines, beef tongue, clay pot beef stew, salted egg yolk corn, mala fish, and mao xue wang. Everything was packed full of flavor and a good portion. Favorites were the dumplings, numbing chicken, lazi chicken, and clay pot beef stew. However, we did notice that the quality was just not the same as what it used to be. Overall, it's not a bad spot for Sichuan food but there are better around!

    See all

    Grand Sichuan - Sour String Bean with minced pork

    Grand Sichuan

    (300 reviews)

    $$

    The menu here is split into two sections, classic American Chinese take out and Sichuan cooking…read more Seems to be a fairly popular take out spot, as they were fulfilling many delivery orders while I was there, but the interior is comfortable and elegantly decorated unlike a standard take out only spot. I ordered the cured pork with garlic shoots and dry fried green beans. The cured pork was quite salty, and paired well with the buttery, tender leeks it was cooked with. The dish was not overly oily, and was pleasant over white rice. I enjoyed the chewiness of the pork which allowed you to experience the complex flavor. The green beans were well fried, with characteristic texture signature to this dish. The seasoning was very well balanced and not overpowering to the natural sweetness of the green beans. I would recommend either dish. They were both slightly toned down iterations when compared to the times I've eaten these dishes at other Sichuan restaurants in flushing, but still well seasoned and well cooked. The service was very warm and friendly, and many other customers seemed to be returning regulars.

    Food is good, quiet and clean…read more Service is impeccable. My fiance and I drink water like fish. Our glasses were never empty. Warning to all with a pineapple allergy like me: do not eat the duck sauce. If you like spicy ask for hot mustard instead. Orange chicken was crispy and flavorful. I did not find it spicy, but my spice tolerance is very high. My fiance had the chicken with broccoli and it looked amazing. Try the cold noodles. They are chewy and delicious. For me the fried dumplings were good, but not great. Worth a try but nothing to rave over.

    AWWW YES HERE WE GO AGAIN!!! SO I have to say that this restaurant is a very satisfactory one…read moretoday. I went here for a group gathering/lunch and lemme tell you guys this place is so good. The noodles were crispy and fresh. Eggplant was spicy but not too spicy in fact it was very crispy and pretty ok and I take dumplings very serious and lemme say they're good but a bit salty and soft. This was relatively satisfying experience a bit on the expensive side but the staff are incredibly nice always checking on us to see if we needed anything else or wanted for food and tea. Great staff and the ambiance is relatively relaxing very interesting. BUT BUT BUT HALT the downside is a bit too much MSG in the food Haiyahh!!!. My mouth felt dry after and was very thirsty but overall still decent. But I may have to reconsider going there again tho...

    Came in a cold dark Sunday evening. I was walking around Forest Hills and didn't know what to…read moreeat. For once, I didn't have any cravings except hunger. After walking around for 30 minutes...looking at chicken - American, Korean; burgers -premium, non-premium; sushi; and ramen nothing was appealing to me. After asking if the restaurant accepts credit card, they said yes. If they didn't, I would have had to find a bank and probably left since I didn't want to walk anymore. They gave me a cold glass of water, which I quickly drank since I didn't know I was dehydrated. She refilled my glass while I perused the menu. Thank you so much! Finally saw beef and tomato broth which would be great for a cold day. Ordered and it came very quickly. This hit the spot without me knowing that this is what I wanted. Warm, cozy, meat vegetable and noodles... the pretext meal. Thank you for the wonderful meal. Always great food especially when you don't know what you want to eat sometimes.
