NYC｜HUPO LIC Michelin-Recommended Sichuan with Next-Level Cocktails

Real Sichuan cuisine isn’t just about heat—it’s about fragrance, depth, and that unforgettable tingle. At HUPO in Long Island City, every dish tells a story of spice, aroma, and craftsmanship. With five consecutive years of Michelin recognition and a serene, modern setting, it’s perfect for dates, group dinners, or even a solo treat. 🦆 No.1: Tea-Smoked Duck – $21 Crispy skin that crackles with each bite, tender meat infused with tea and smoky notes—a perfect balance of savory and aromatic. Savor it slowly; this one deserves attention. 🐟 No.2: Amber Pickled Fish – $29 A broth that’s fragrant, tangy, and gently numbing—not just sour. The fish is incredibly tender, each slice hugging the flavorful soup. Truly comforting. 🥩 Sichuan Tofu with Beef – $28 Dangerously delicious—you might end up eating three bowls of rice. Soft beef, silky tofu, and a gently spicy sauce make this a rice-robber. 🐔 Mouthwatering Chicken – $12 A classic opener that wakes up your taste buds. Clean, aromatic chili oil and tender chicken—if you skip this, you’re missing out. 🍗 Kung Pao Chicken – $20 A nutty, well-balanced version with a subtle mala finish. Not too sweet, deeply satisfying. 🦀 Crab & Pork Soup Dumplings – $10 A moment of joy in each bite. Rich crab essence, delicate broth—a soothing break between spicy bites. 🍹 Creative Cocktails – Worthy of a Standing Ovation Szechuan Cold Pot: A daring, aromatic cocktail with Sichuan peppercorn flair—spicy, tingly, and totally unique. Crystal Peach Oolong: Fragrant white peach meets soothing oolong—sweet, smooth, and impossible to resist. HUPO brings soul, spice, and sophistication to LIC. Already dreaming of my next visit. 📍 HUPO 10-07 50th Ave, Long Island City, NY 11101 #HUPOLIC #SichuanEats #MichelinInNYC #CreativeCocktails #EatWithSoul
