| - From the same owners as Mai Xiang Yuan comes an amazing szechuan in china town.
They do spicy, and they do it well. They offer an assortment of dumplings, which are made at nearby Mai Xiang Yuan and brought over, so really, if you want the dumplings, just go next door. They offer a few "Western Style" dishes such as general tso which can be underwhelming. When sticking to the less western spicy dishes, such as the spicy lamb, or the eggplant in garlic sauce, this is where they shine through.
Simple food, with big spices. The aformentioned lamb, loaded with dried chili, cumin, onion, and spring onion is a fresh delight. The eggplant, fried to perfection crispy, garlicy, spicy but sweet a delight.
It's worth noting during lunch it is typically only a single server and single cook, so it can be slow, but it is also rarely crowded during weekday lunches. Infact this is often the best time to go. At dinner or on weekends the limited staff can be a bit of a slow down.
Still, highly recommended.
