Take a cuisine known it's in own culture as being one of the best and sprinkle its delectable goodness all over Cleveland and what do you get? Szechuan Gourmet! You should be adventurous and good spirited to dine here. Here's why, you want good authentic food? Ask for the fish to be served whole. I mean the entire fish on your plate. Here's why, one of the key to good Sichuan food is freshness. Whole fish is much fresher. The other keys to Sichuan cuisine are bold use of garlic and chili peppers. So here is where the good spirited part comes in handy. Eat this meal the Chinese way. The rice you're served is your main dish. You flavor your rice with dishes you've ordered bite size at a time. It's how it's meant to be savored. They presented me with two menus when I arrive. The only thing I ordered off the menu was the appetizer. Everything else, I asked about their specialities. Their recommendation was based on the protein choice I made (fish and lamb). We also asked for a recommendation for a vegi dish. Their garlic stir-fried snow pea tips is by far the best I've had around town. It's a spicy kind of place but they'll accommodate. So don't shy away from this gem in our little Chinatown.
