My love for this place is up there. Bamboo shoos or green beans, vegetarian heaven. The station lamb always hits. Service is great as they're considerate. Ambiance and the feeling of being in street food is why this place is a staple. read more

Came by for lunch with a group of friends to check this place out. While the experience had some bright spots, the food was a bit of a disappointment for me. We tried a variety of dishes, but nothing really stood out or felt impressive enough to bring me back. ​On the plus side, the logistics were great. The restaurant was pretty empty during lunch, and they are very flexible with reservations, making it easy to adjust our plans. ​While some of my friends enjoyed their meals more than I did, this was likely a one time experience for me. If you are looking for a place that is easy to book for a group, this fits the bill, but the flavors didn't quite hit the mark for my taste. read more

Not sure how this was in the Michelin guide. Sliced Pork Belly with Garlic Chili Sauce. Very instagrammable but lack of execution. 2/5. Sweet and sour fish filet. Good balance to the meal but I wouldn't get this again. 3/5 Peppercorn boiled beef. Standard. 3.5/5 Cauliflower with pork 5/5 Black truffle fried rice. Excellent. I would get this again. 5/5 Service was horrible. Signaled for the waiter and basically from 20 feet away he asked me what I needed instead of walking over to our table. If you aren't going to provide service in the service industry then get out of it. read more

Good Sichuan spot in midtown! We got some classics like cucumber salad, mapo tofu and green peppercorn chicken which I loved. I also really liked the fried noodles with chicken. The truffle fried rice was very truffle heavy so if you're a fan of that you'll love it. Service was great and our dishes came quick and served hot. Overall it has all the classics and a good variety. read more

A solid 3.5-4 star experience. I did find the mung bean noodles wayyyyyyy too salty. The sauce for the chili chicken was also too salty! My main concern was that this food would have MSG in it. I walked in at 8, and at 8:15 when there were still customers they started making louder noise and cleaning up. At 8:30 I felt I had to leave, even though I did finish my food. The food was decent, however nothing spectacular or memorable. This area is full of Szechuan food- maybe look elsewhere. I did find this one on the Michelin Guide, but some of their recommendations are lackluster. read more

It was crowded when I went there so it took a long time, about 45 minutes for someone to take my order. But despite the long wait time the place seems to be very popular. The food was good. I order the crab white rice. I did not expect to like it be it was delicious. I also got the pepper beef. I am very picky when ordering beef, but that dish was very good and flavorful. The beef was not tough to chew. I also couldn't leave without some fried noodles. It's a nice spot to eat dinner solo or with friends. read more

Peppercorn Station completely lived up to the hype. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor, but the standouts were definitely the crab meat sauce noodles and the lobster, easily the best part of the meal. The cucumber salad was super refreshing and balanced out the richer dishes perfectly. You can really tell why this spot made the Michelin Guide. The quality, presentation, and flavors were all incredible. Definitely one of the best meals I've had recently and I'll 100% be back. read more

I've been wanting to check this place out after learning that it was on the Michelin guide, and it did not disappoint. We ordered the green peppercorn boiled beef and the sliced pork belly with garlic chili sauce. True to its name, the peppercorn flavor really stands out for the peppercorn boiled beef, and it packed a punch of flavors making you want to come back for more. The sliced pork belly is a classic Sichuan dish and the peanut sauce it came with had a nice balance of spiciness, sweetness and savory. The service is excellent. Our waiter checked in on our multiple times throughout the course of the meal and we got complimentary orange slices at the end. read more

One of the best meals I had in NY! This is a place I'd definitely come back for. The truffle fried rice was fantastic, and the sour beer soup was very spicy and delicious -- I would go back just for that again and again. The service is prompt, and the place feels cozy and lively. If I lived nearby, I'd be exploring the whole menu! This spot may not be for everyone, but certain dishes like the truffle fried rice would likely win anyone over. It's also pretty cost-effective by New York standards -- less than $50 for two of us. Very much recommended, especially if you like Koreanish food. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the city. Happy eating!! read more

Peppercorn Station - Black Truffle Sauce Fried Rice (on top) Beef in Sour Soup (on bottom) Both 100% fantastic!! - Szechuan Near Me - New York, New York

This is their Kung Pao Chicken. It is $23 and you have to pay $2 for rice. This one was just okay. First of all, it's in a very gloopy far too sweet sauce that just makes me feel like there was too much corn starch used, zero Wokhei, they don't use any sichuan peppercorns and you get less food than spots like Szechuan Gourmet or Pig Heaven. The only saving grace is that, at least they didn't use any bell peppers, onions or celery. So it was all chicken, peanuts and chili peppers but far too saucy and that buried it for me. read more

If you're a fan of Sichuan cuisine, you need to know about 青花椒 (Sichuan peppercorn). This unique spice is essential in Sichuan cooking, offering a numbing heat and citrusy aroma that creates a bold, tingling sensation with a sweet aftertaste--defining the region's signature flavors. Sichuan cuisine is about more than just "spicy"--it's about the balance of spiciness and fragrance. While many people associate it with extreme heat, it's not just about being ridiculously spicy like other similar restaurants. If you're expecting food loaded with MSG and a straightforward, overpowering spice, without the layers and depth of flavor that define Sichuan food, this restaurant might not be for you and you won't be able to appreciate its offering. Peppercorn Station is hands down the best place in Manhattan to experience the full power of peppercorn in dishes. Their signature dishes are authentic and incredibly delicious, and even the desserts are top-notch. Here are some must-try items: Sliced Beef and Ox Tongue in chili Sauce 夫妻肺片 Mouth watering chicken with chili sauce 口水雞 Sliced pork belly with garlic chili sauce 蒜泥白肉 Hot and sour Glass noodles 酸辣粉 Mala Whole fish 青花椒跳水魚 Sweet and sour whole fish 鮮果糖醋魚 They use sea bass for whole fish fishes, the fish is always fresh. Beef in sour pickle soup 酸湯肥牛 Beef Tripe with duck blood tofu 毛血旺 Spicy pork intestine 香辣肥腸 Crab meat tofu 蟹粉豆腐 Mapo tofu 麻婆豆腐 Minced pork with pickle 酸豆角炒肉末 Double cooked pork 回鍋肉 Pepper garlic cabbage 手撕包菜 Sautéed string beans 干煸四季豆 Fried rice with black trufflesauce 黑松露炒飯 Stew lamb soup 羊肉爐 - it's my favorite! Bing Fen 冰粉 Brown sugar fried sticky rice cake 红糖糍粑 Peppercorn Station really shines when it comes to service. The staff takes great care of everyone, from elders to kids, making sure everyone feels at home. Whether it's offering great recommendations, accommodating special requests, or just creating a welcoming vibe, they go the extra mile to make sure everyone has a great experience. It's this kind of thoughtful service that makes dining there so enjoyable for the whole family. read more

Decided I wanted something spicy on a rainy afternoon so I placed a pickup order for lunch. The place is called peppercorn for a REASON...the mapo tofu was loaded with Sichuan peppercorn heat that the first bite had my mouth immediately tingling. I loved it, this is my new mapo tofu spot! My total came out to $14.15 and they give you a drink and a side of pickled radish (probably to cool your mouth down). Service was nice & the place was clean and quiet, which I love. Maybe I'll dine in for a relaxing lunch one day. 'Til next time! read more

Great spot imo (altho full disclosure I'm a salty person so if anyone allergic to flavor take a point off my review). Anyways it's a good spot I've tried a lot of the dishes but I recommend the fried frog (might not be a popular choice for most), the pickled soup with the beef, and the dessert bingfen. Can't go wrong there. Tried the crab tofu and some of the fried rice dishes but those didn't really stick out to me. Service and ambience is pretty standard. For a more casual spot I don't really expect the staff to check in and be like how's everything? I'm good, fine, thank you lemme eat and chat with my friends. read more

I think Szechuan food can be very hit or miss. We've had some good tries and some places that are too spicy for the sake of being spicy. So I'm always nervous...but this place hit the spot. There's a reason the sliced pork belly with chili sauce is pictured on the menu. Aesthetically beautiful and ultimately such a great bite. Slices of pork with a cucumber inside to be smothered in a delicious chili sauce. Could have eaten this dish ten times over. We also got the peppercorn beef, which was a last minute choice as this wasn't on the menu we had seen online. The beef was great and plentiful. The soup itself...the restaurant is called peppercorn for a reason. It's super numbingly spicy. Other dish we got was the crab meat sauce. I didn't care as much for this. I didn't realize the crab meat would be mostly pureed into the sauce and that the main draw would be the tofu. It was probably technically well done but not my favorite dish. Finally, the truffle cauliflower was a dish I was always going to enjoy, and it lived up to my expectations. Super truffly, perfectly crispy. Such a delicious bite. We made a reservation but for Sunday lunch there were plenty of tables. Quick service. Absolutely worth stopping in. read more

Extensive menu and we went with a group of 10 so got to try a lot of things. Highlights were the truffle rice and braised pork belly. Overall was a bit too oily for me but taste was decent read more

I thoroughly enjoyed each of the items we got. The pork belly was served cold with a rich, thick peanut chili sauce and cucumbers - made the entire bite spicy but refreshing. The braised beef soup was hella spicy but not to the point where the spice became too painful - but it did test my spice limit. The string beans were a great palette cleanser when I needed a break from the spice. This was all really good! read more

We had a noodle dish and a chicken dish with a spicy sauce. The noodles were "1 pepper" spice level but should have been 2 and the chicken was 2 but should have been 1. We would have ordered more but the service was sporadic so we had a hard time getting their attention. Once we finally did we just asked for the check. The food and value were both very good. If not for the service issues we would go back. Very tasty if you like a little spice. read more

We were strolling down the street and actually looking at the menu for another Chinese restaurant across the street from this location. A local came up to us and said we should really try Peppercorn Station instead. Boy, am I glad we listened. We came in early afternoon on Memorial Day and were the first ones in the restaurant. Having the place to ourselves was wonderful because we were able to take our time with the menu. We noticed the lunch menu and decided to order from there as it was a good deal since it offers the meal and a soda can. My friend and I both ordered the fried noodles and it knocked both our socks off. So flavorful! Truly one of the better Chinese meals I've had in a long time. I wish I could take this restaurant back with me to Miami. Another great standout of this place is how sparkling clean it was. read more

Another gem find on Yelp, completely satisfied with the meals. Wanted something different besides burgers chicken and bbq among things in Times Square. On arrival small cafe setup it was filled with regulars . How do I know they were mingling and eating and they were comfortable this was their spot . From white color to blue collar workers having dinner . We choose 5 dishes , which every dish is sharable. And when I tell you we chewed until I jaws hurt and stomaches touched the booth table . The glass noodle with chili sauce was a cold dish but it was good. The cauliflower with truffle oil , that dish alone was delicious. The fried rice was good and flavorful, the Thai beef that was the favorite with flavor and a kick. I noticed most spots supply can soda no fountain drinks which is fine . Overall great meal and experience. read more

My boyfriend and I were looking for some good szechuan food and decided to try this place. There were some great things and not so great things here. We ordered a bunch because there was a lot we wanted to try. For the appetizers, we did the Sliced Pork Belly with Garlic Chili Sauce, Steamed Chicken with Chili Sauce and Pepper Garlic Cabbage. For the mains, we got the Fish Fillet with Pickled Cabbage and Dried Chili Fried Chicken Plate. The servings overall are quite generous here. There were a lot of really delicious flavors but the quality wasn't quite there. The sliced pork belly sauce was amazing on rice. The steamed chicken was quite dry and definitely not one of their top dishes. The fish fillet flavor was good but the fish was not as soft/tender as a lot of other places I've tried. The fried chicken flavor was great and they do not skimp out on the chicken. Overall, probably won't come back here given the number of amazing szechuan places there are but if you do come, there are a few dishes worth trying. read more

Peppercorn Station was an experience. The restaurant is always busy and the staff are always working to keep your water glass full, cause you will need lots of it. We shared the Dry Chili Fried Chicken Plate and the Assorted Pea Noodles. The Chili Chicken was beyond spicy. My entire mouth, including lips, were numb. However, it was an inviting level of spiciness and the slight tinge of relief came from the noodles. If you're looking for good Szechaun food, come to the Peppercorn Station. You will enjoy this cuisine..... but prepare your palate for some five alarm excitement. read more

We got the mapo tofu and kungpao chicken. Kungpao chicken is decent, flavorful and peanuts are properly fried. Mapo tofu is average, the tofu didn't have enough flavor and overpowered by the chili powder, not so much numbing peppercorn read more

Went on a Thursday night and it was pretty full but we got seated right away. I love sauerkraut fish so I had to get their version of it. It looked different from what I'm used to since it had lemon slices but it was still good. Wouldn't say it's the best sauerkraut fish I've had though. The dry chili fried chicken was veryy spicy so beware if you can't tolerate spice. The sweetness of the sauce from the pork slices definitely helped to kill some of the spice. read more

It was a rainy saturday evening when we went there for early dinner. There were only 2 tables occupied. We were seated quickly by the server. We ordered some drinks, but i think the server didn't hear me. We didn't recieve it so not a big deal. There were already two glasses of water or tea i don't know because the glass was black so couldn't tell . So, every table had it even the empty tables. It looks like it was outside for a long time because the water was dirty with white stuff floating. This is the reason i gave them 4 stars. We ordered dry chilli chicken and okra but okra was out of stock so we got pea shoots instead. It was my first time trying it and it was good. Chicken was crispy and was not that spicy for me. Service was quick. I think we got out food out in like 5-10 mins after we were seated. I would love to be back to try more stuffs from their menu. read more

Came here for a quick dinner. The kitchen was closing soon but they gave us ample time to sit and eat. Ambiance was chill. We ordered crab over rice, beef noodle soup, and mapo tofu. Crab over rice - 3/5 I was really expecting more crab. It was mostly thick sauce. Flavor was okay albeit a bit on the saltier side. Beef noodle soup - 4/5 can never really go wrong with this dish. A pretty standard beef noodle soup Mapo tofu - 3/5 this is also just okay. Standard mapo tofu. Nothing mind blowing. I would come back to try the fish and other dishes. Very reasonably priced restaurant. Service is attentive and quick. read more
