They have been around for a long while and this is one of several Sichuan/Szechuan restaurants in the area. Personally I think Peppercorn nearby might have a few better dishes but the portion sizes are better here reminding me of Flushing and there are a couple of outstanding dishes here. As we were a very large group, we sat in back both times and the servers are pleasant. The food was a bit worse the second time but we still had a good experience.Both times we started with the Century Egg With Green Pepper/青椒皮蛋. This is a very tasty version of this dish. I believe the peppers in this case were shishito which is a bit unique. It's also presented differently with the peppers not mashed and mixed which I don't mind to be honest.The Camphor Tea Smoked (or Zhangcha) Duck/樟茶鸭 is probably my favorite main dish here. The duck has a wonderful smokiness and is very tender. The second time, the duck was a bit smaller but it was still very tasty. Probably the 2nd best I've had after Hupo. The Duck Fried Rice has more of said duck but the amount was inconsistent between times we went but still satisfying. Also recommended is the Sichuan Boiled fish/Shui Zhu Yu/水煮鱼. Very solid version of one of my favorite dishes with tender fish and a nicely spicy chili broth. Well portioned as well. Would recommend heavily. The Szechuan Style Pork Ribs are also very tasty but a smaller portion compared to many of the other massive dishes.The Lamb Ma La Xiang Guo/老灶羊肉鍋 is solid with a good amount of dry chili again but it could use some more lamb perhaps. I liked the veggies in it. Better is the Cumin Lamb. Tender lamb with a lot of mala. The Twice Cooked Pork With Chili Leeks/回锅肉, another common dish, is also good here. Nicely rendered pork and not as salty as some other spots. The Eggplant With Minced Pork in Sweet Sauce/盤龍茄子 was probably the most different the second time. The eggplant wasn't as large (which they told us) and the sauce wasn't as well flavored but it was still good.The Pork in Sweet Bean Sauce/京酱肉丝 is alright. I am not the biggest fan of the dish but the pork was tender. The final dish we ordered both times is the Mao Xue Wang /毛血旺 with Braised Tripe, Duck Blood, Lotus, Jumbo Shrimp, Sea Scallions, Fish Filet & Veggie. There were also pieces of spam and several other offal and it isn't for the faint of heart. The second time, the tripe wasn't as cooked down so it wasn't as tender. Big fan of the blood cakes however. Tender and delicious and the soup has a good kick. The second time at least had a better presentation.We got Pumpkin Cake/南瓜餅 at the end the 2nd time as people wanted a bit more. It has a glutinous rice like texture and there was some red bean inside. Couldn't taste the pumpkin much but it was hot and fresh and is a fine end to a meal. The food here was probably around a mid/high 4 the first time and a mid low 4 the 2nd time. Still very good and I would go back even if I slightly prefer Peppercorn.
