I finally had the chance to try out Sichuan Secret. It's a little out of place since it's probably the only chinese place in korean town. But hey, at least it stands out, right? ;) The decor is modern and there's a lot of seating space. They definitely need more servers though. I had dinner on a Thursday evening and it wasn't packed, but the service was pretty slow because they only had 2 servers floating around.
There were 5 of us and we ordered:
APPETIZERS:
- spicy tripe (yum!)
- crystal pork meat (it's an interesting dish, try it at your own risk)
MAINS:
- sichuan fried chicken (spicy but good!)
- sesame beef (recommended!)
- dry sauteed green beans (great!)
The portions were pretty generous. We had 4 bowls of rice to split among the 5 of us and we left feeling full. However, our dishes had a lot of garlic and scallions in them, so don't forget to bring some mints with you.
Our bill came up to $75 incl. taxes + tips (and person ordered a cocktail drink). I would definitely go back to this place and try other dishes :)
