One of the most requested Sichuan dishes, executed here with precision. The silken tofu contrasts with the numbing-spicy sauce and tender ground pork. The Sichuan peppercorn delivers the signature tingle that defines the dish. Diners call this the best version available in Manhattan.
Tips from diners
Pair with rice. The sauce is meant to be spooned over and soaked up. Eating plain tofu misses half the point.
The signature No. 1 dish features tender white fish suspended in a fiery, tangy broth spiked with Sichuan chili oil and dotted with pickled mustard greens. The sourness of the mustard balances the numbing heat, creating a multi-dimensional flavor profile. Reviewers consistently call this the dish that defines Land of Plenty.
Tips from diners
Order this on your first visit. It's the best snapshot of Sichuan technique—hot, sour, numbing, and aromatic in one bowl.
Ask for 'spicy level 5' if you're experienced. The default is manageable but asking for extra delivers real punch.
A refreshing cold appetizer featuring thin strands of jellyfish dressed in toasted sesame oil and scattered with green scallions. The texture is delicate and chewy, the flavor subtle and aromatic. It's the palate-cleansing contrast to heavier, spicier dishes.
Tips from diners
Order this as an appetizer to start. The lightness prepares your palate for the spicier mains.
A classic rendered in lush form at Land of Plenty. The noodles are tossed in a rich sesame paste sauce infused with numbing Sichuan peppercorns, topped with ground pork and scallions. It's creamy, spicy, and aromatic—a complete dish on its own.
Tips from diners
The sauce clings beautifully to the noodles. Toss thoroughly before eating to distribute the sesame and spice.
An adventurous cold appetizer that showcases different textures: chewy ox tongue, tender tripe, both dressed in a roasted chili and peanut oil sauce. The roasted peanut flavor anchors the heat. It's spicy and assertive—not for everyone, but beloved by explorers of Sichuan food.
Tips from diners
