Had to write an update and correction. This is neither a Sichuan nor a Szechuan restaurant as I had concluded earlier. A knowledgable friend pointed out that it is a Yunnan restaurant, featuring dishes from a province by the same name in southwestern China. The steam table that I mentioned earlier actually sells dishes typical of this region and the regulars actually order items from the steam table as appetizers along with the main dishes. Items on the steam table include duck heads, chicken feet, thinly sliced tendons, vegetables, thinly sliced pork, peanuts fried with what looked like white bait and shallots, etc, etc. What the regulars do is order items from the menu then walk over to the steam table and order items from the steam table in small plates to share. Another popular dish with the Chinese regulars is a noodle dish with a clear chicken broth accompanied by thinly sliced meats and vegetables on the side which one adds to the noodles. Almost every table would start off by sharing this noodle dish before going to the other dishes. We tried it and it is really good. There is a picture of it in the menu.
