    Fish & tofu
    Mengxue C.

    We got orders to go. I liked the flavor profile but the fish selection wasn't my favorite, might try another kind next time. The pork kidney was yum.

    A new Sichuan restaurant is open in Flushing, but in the most hidden way possible -- disguised in a street that most non-locals will never venture to, and away from all American social media. The only way to keep track of what its doing is to walk in and trust that the chef will bring you the freshest ingredients cooked with just the right amount of spices, serving you uncompromised Sichuan food from rabbit to fresh water eel, from kidney to intestine. It's not for the faint-hearted to say the least. This is one of those nonchalant spots for me because it's only trying to please the ones who understand and appreciate Sichuan food. The owner wants the the restaurant to be close to all the fresh ingredients, but also the chef's mahjong game room. That's why it sits on such a quiets street in Flushing. Oh, by the way, the chef might be slightly hangover from the Mahjong game the night before. Below are my two dining experiences, one dine-in, one delivery. Both tastes amazing. The portions are wow-big. Though the price might look higher than others, it's for a good reason.

    Cutest server ever

    Absolutely the best szechuan in all of flushing period. Looks, smell, taste all on point. Nothin overcooked. As authentic as can be. Chef and owner walking around greeting and asking if they need to improve~a plus. Very humble. The robot server is a nice touch too. After dinner they give u a ice powder/jelly another plus. Price is only heavy on the market price item so be aware. We also had free drinks/beer all we want but dont know if thats just temporary. I do recomended eveything on the menu, its that good.

    Authentic Szechuan food! We had 毛血旺and呛白菜. The portion size is very large! Finally the meal worth 50 dollars per person.

Some standouts were the twice cooked pork, the dry fried long beans, and the fish soup. The twice cooked pork had very thinly sliced pork and it was rich and well seasoned with chili bean paste. The long beans were wrinkly and deep fried with savory ground pork mixed in. The fish sound had abundant tender pieces of fish and a creamy mild broth. I convinced my dining companions to try the braised kidney flowers, as 火爆腰花 is one of my favorite sichuan dishes and I was interested to try this braised version. While most of my friends were not particularly into the kidney, I really enjoyed this dish. The hatched kidneys were floating in a rich broth with peppers and bundles of glass noodles. The noodles were unexpected, but a very welcome addition as they allowed me to consume more of the delicious braising liquid. The kidneys were tender and bouncy, exactly I as expected them to be. I didn't place the order so I'm not sure if you can select the spiciness level of your food when ordering, but I didn't find any of this food to be particularly spicy and I found the tingly mala notes to be muted. While everything was very delicious, aside from the sweet and sour pork which I found to be inedibly sweet, I think this is a more tame and toned down expression of bold Sichuan flavors. The service was extremely friendly and I would return again for another group dinner, as they have enough options here to satisfy a wide variety of diners with different palettes. Hopefully next time I can sell my companions on the 夫妻肺片,as I've heard they make a great iteration of the dish here at Mountain House and I would love to try it.

    Szechuan Opera - Mapo Tofu (requested extra spicy) $15

    I went to this Szechuan restaurant with a group a couple of weeks ago. The staff was nice, and the…read morefood overall was tasty with a couple definite highlights. They uniquely have a self-rotating lazy susan which can be controlled remotely which was an interesting touch. Along with the usual peanuts, they provided us some free picked radish which was very tasty with us getting extra. The first dish that arrived was the Crispy Cucumber Salad for $15. The flavors were standard with a mild sweetness from the dark soy sauce with the more interesting part being the shape as they almost resembled flowers. I slightly preferred this over the usual as it added a more fun texture and I found it absorbed the sauce a bit better. For the same price, the Mapo Tofu was very tasty. While having a good numbing flavor from the peppercorn, It's a bit spicier next door at Szechuan Mountain. However, the texture of the tofu was better here being a good mix of firm and silken. This version was also fully vegetarian I believe as commonly, there's a tiny bit of pork on top. This presumably was why it was a bit cheaper as well compared to next door. My favorite of the dishes, which was a favorite of the whole table was the Stir Fried Bacon With Tea Tree Mushrooms for $22. The mushrooms had a fun crunchy texture while the bacon was more Hunan style with plenty of smokiness. This was delicious and a definite highlight. Also tasty was the Spicy Stir-Fried Pork Kidney for $20. The kidneys were cut into thin manageable pieces and the offal flavor was milder than other kidney dishes I have had being less gamey and a bit less minerally. There was a slight chew to the kidneys but it wasn't too much and the bit of veggies added some crunch. The Eel With Fermented Rice Sauce for $20 as well had mixed opinions but a few people such as myself liked it. The portion was large and I liked that the eel texture here more than in other spots where the eel is fried. The light fermented flavor was also nice which also added a unique red hue. However, the dish was quite boney so I liked some pieces a lot and found some others to be OK. I would still recommend it. The Chongqing Spicy Chicken for $20 was pretty standard. I wish it was a lighter fry but the chicken was pretty moist even with the amount of batter and it had a good mala flavor. The peppers were also nicely cooked down in the wok and plenty edible. The Dry Pot With Asian Mushrooms for $22 was pretty good. As with others, I preferred the other mushroom dish much more as the flavors were lighter. The textures weren't as fun here, but at least the presentation was nice. Larger was the alright Cumin Lamb for $25. This was pretty tasty, in terms of cumin, but I find other spots are better in terms of spice, such as next door as well as Xing Shun Da among others. The pieces were also smaller here and I liked the texture of the larger pieces at other places. This was fine, but I would recommend other places for this dish instead. The largest dish was their take on Golden Sour Sliced Beef Soup for $32. A few others loved this, but I found it to be OK. The dish in general has a good mix of sourness and spiciness, but this version was a bit too sour and not spicy enough for my liking. I appreciated the other toppings from the plentiful enoki to the noodle bundles, and the beef was good, so if the spice is improved, I would recommend it more. At the end, the staff gave us a complimentary dessert consisting of Black Sesame Mochi Balls in a Rice Wine Soup, a variant of Tang Yuan. The rice balls inside were hot and packed with black sesame, and were very tasty. The broth was excellent here with just enough rice wine for flavor, while not being overpowering. This was a particularly tasty version of this dish, and I was very happy it was included. The food here overall was solid. I prefer a handful of other places, but for the reasonable prices and good overall quality, I would recommend this place. Low 4.

Szechuan Dry Pot: ordered less spicy, still came out pretty spicy! There was a good variety of ingredients in the dry pot, but a lot less of everything than I expected for the price, especially fatty beef. Spicy Jumping Pork Short Rib: the spare rib version of the lazi chicken was unfortunately filled with pieces of fat and tendon and not much meat. Heavy on the breading too Golden Sour Sliced Beef Soup: lots of fatty beef in those one and some noodles, but the taste wasn't really what I was expecting. Not the biggest fan of this one

Lemon water at your table. The appetizers were just ok, fried pork lacked much flavor and the brown sugar glutinous rice cake wasn't as good as elsewhere. Free side dishes of black mushrooms (not much flavor) and the pickled daikon (this was good, a little spicy). The aromatic hot oil and suancai fish was excellent, more than enough for one person (plus maybe one). You can swap out the two veggies with other choices but I liked the lettuce and baby nappa. Golden soup suancai and fish was more sour for those who liked it that way - tomato looked good, too, fragrant (not spicy). The spicy on the others was just a light spice, more ma la than anything. Everyone gets a bowl of rice, and they have a gift card deal - buy $300 and get $50 free. Plus free meal on your birthday, and some discounts on Tuesdays or Wednesdays? Check the signs. Seats filled up quickly on a weekend and they were packed - come early and enjoy. The double serving for two was smaller than a single serving for one, so just get two if you have two good sized appetites. Single unisex bathroom, and the tables have drawers with paper napkins. Drinks - eh, pass, had better elsewhere. They did forget a dish, but that's ok, we were reasonably full.

The maggot of the menu is fish in broth. We got 2 the #1 spicy pickled cabbage with snake head fish. Great level of spice, just enough peppercorns to give flavor and not overwhelm. And the tomatoes base. I found that one bland, but my more sensitive friends found it delicious. The clear noodles were wide and perfectly cooked. The fish melts in your mouth. The glutinous rice sticks were good, but not hot. The lemon tea was too sweet. The small portion was large enough for leftovers.

I wanted some duck blood and saw that Alley 41 had a few variations. I opted for the Duck Blood with Pickled Chiles. I also got some rice on the side, and a Chinese Herbal Tea (Wong Lo Kat) to go with it. The chilies really bring the heat! There is a good amount of duck blood, though I prefer thicker cuts. It is a very oily dish. I ended up scooping the dish onto the rice to get rid of a lot of the oil. There wasn't much of a pickle flavor to cut the heat and oil. Overall, not my favorite duck blood dish. I will have to try the one with pork intestine or braised frog for more flavor. I will also have to try other dishes and dining in.

It was pretty empty inside, so we were able to be seated right away. One weird thing was that our waitress asked if we wanted tea or water, and we said both, but she said she couldn't give us both because the table wasn't big enough. We were a group of five sitting at a large table, so there definitely was room. We asked what kind of tea they had, and she said flower, which we assumed to mean chrysanthemum. It actually was a really strong tasting hibiscus tea that wasn't good at all, so we ended up asking for water anyway. I didn't think I would like this dish, but it actually was pretty good! It wasn't too sour, and the broth had a nice strong garlic flavor that was a welcome addition to the sourness. The fish was flaky and tender, and I liked the noodles in the dish too. I would definitely come back to try the tomato version! Although I do wish it automatically came with rice instead of charging $2 per bowl.
