| - This place is spicy! And this is coming from someone who thinks Sriracha tastes sweet, and Tabasco as just sour. I came with some friends for a dinner to check out this place, since one said it looked "legit" when he passed by this place last week and I trust his word since he's more Asian than I am.
We ordered:
1. Szechuan cold noodles (4/5) - for lack of a better description, it's "spaghetti" noodles with spicy sauce and julienned cucumbers. We were confused what this dish was compared to the "spicy cold noodles" was; apparently spicy cold noodles refers to the sauce being sesame sauce.
2. Lamb kabobs (5/5) - WOW these were cooked well. It's marinated and garnished with tons of cumin and spice. They were tender, juicy and delicious. I could have definitely polished off the entire entree myself with some rice, but sharing is caring, so I had to split with my friends. Sadness.
3. Boiled beef in hot & spicy sauce (aka Water boiled beef, shui zhu niu) (4.5/5) - For those who haven't had Szechuan food before, this is anything but water boiled. It comes in a giant bowl and looks like a giant soup of pure spicy oil and chili peppers. You fish out the pieces of beef and napa cabbage out and eat it with rice. Yum yum. I liked this, but this one was much spicier than ones at other restaurants, and one of my friends said it was a little salty.
4. Beef noodle soup (5/5) - The dish tasted a lot better than it looked. We weren't too sure what the difference was between this and the "Szechuan beef noodle soup" that was listed right below; the waitress just said it was spicy. I'm sure it's also prepared slightly differently too. Sometimes, poorly braised and cut beef is hard to eat and meat gets stuck in your teeth (eww!), but this is not the case here! But the beef was amazingly tender and juicy. The soup was pretty sweet and oily and I actually found myself drinking the soup.
Service was a little slow, but it isn't enough to deter me from coming back. We had finished our food and sat around for 10 minutes before we were able to flag the waitress down to ask for a menu since we wanted to order more food. It was only at that time she cleared our dishes out. It wasn't very busy either, maybe 4 other tables. The restaurant did let us split checks, which was much appreciated.
As a random side note, one of my friends recognized the waitress as possibly having worked at Siam Cafe in the past since he used to eat there 1-2x a week, which was pretty hilarious and ridiculous at the same time.
