| - Enter: Sichuan Garden. Through the green doors, and over a bridge (!?) into a rather bare-bones establishment. From the looks of it, in another life, Sichuan Garden was once a club of some kind. I judge this from the 'bar' area where the cash register is, above which is a ceiling where a light-cover in the shape of stars is attached. Some 90s-riffic starlight action went down here, no doubt.
The service... both times I have visited, we were served by the same waiter, who treated us very decently, and seemed to believe us when we requested they, 'Bring on the spice!' He was even able to give us a hand when we described a favourite dish or ours-- he made it happen.
My favourite dish, ma po tofu, was very good. I recommend that one, for sure. I wouldn't bother with the dandan mian... basically nothingness (but, cheap).
Three stars because they charged $1.50 for a single bowl of rice (is the standing rule that you get charged if your skin is the same colour as the starch?)
