Mapo Tofu
MainsOne 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.
Chongqing Braised Fish Filet with Chili & Pickled Mustard Greens
SeafoodThe 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.

Ox Tongue & Tripe with Roasted Chili-Peanut Dressing
