Wow! That's all I can say. I fell in love with Sichuan food years ago, and its been one of my favorite cuisines ever since. I can't speak for the restaurants "American" menu but I ordered from the Sichuan menu yesterday, and it was amazing. We ordered take out. The restaurant was packed at 7pm, all tables full and about a dozen or so people waiting for tables, it was chaotic but organized. My only disclaimer is that the review is only for the food, I didn't eat in! Personally, the service would have to be atrocious for me to downgrade them a star because it was really that good. I was told that the chef is the one who brought Sichuan cuisine to Pittsburgh, formerly working as the executive chef at China Star in the North Hills and later at Sichuan Gourmet in Squirrel Hill. I like both of those restaurants, but I feel like I know why I thought they had gone down hill. I also think the fact that its his own restaurant has allowed him to explore his own creativity more. We ordered the cold beef tendon appetizer, cumin lamb, braised pork belly, tea smoked duck, and lamb chops. Everything was delicious, spicy, garlicky, and mouth numbing just like Sichuan food is supposed to be. I've eaten at Sichuan joints all over NYC, as well as the few local ones we have here, and this is hands down the best i've ever had. Already organizing a group trip to eat there! Also BYOB!!
