Looking for authentic Sichuan food? This is your place in Pittsburgh. I'm wondering how soon is too soon to go back.
There are two menus. One has Americanized Chinese food like cashew chicken. Do yourself a favor and just look at the other menu -- the one in Chinese with subtitles.
Some of the dishes we tried --
Appetizers:
Won tons in red oil (just ok),
Tan tan noodles (a must get...lo mein noodles in spicy sauce)
Scallion pancake - ok, a little greasy but not bad.
Entrees:
Salt 'n Pepper Shrimp - I thought they were great. A little under seasoned.
Twice cooked pork belly with leeks - Outstanding
Chinese Eggplant in Garlic Sauce - If you like eggplant, it's great.
Sichuan fried green beans - Perfectly cooked and very tasty.
The service was friendly and prompt and they were willing to accomodate our requests (e.g. peeling the shrimp before cooking). The prices were reasonable, and I can't wait to go back.
p.s. - you can also allegedly bring your own wine and pay a small corkage fee.
