Popular Sichuan Cuisine in New York's East Village: Mountain House π
π Mountain House 23 St Marks Pl, New York, NY 10003 Iβve tried to walk in twice, but both times I was told there was a one-hour wait, so I left. Today, I had my boyfriend make a reservation in advance, and we finally got to enjoy the meal! This is an incredibly popular Chinese restaurant, with branches in Times Square and Flushing as well. The average cost per person is around $50. π Spicy Chicken with Thai Bird Chilies ππππ The signature spicy stir-fried chicken is a must-order. I chose the mild spice level, and it was just perfectβneither too spicy nor bland. The chicken was very tender. ππΆοΈ Dried-Cloth Pork πππ This dish is highly recommended online, but I found the flavor to be quite ordinary. Itβs more of a photo-worthy dish. πΈ Porcini Beef Stir-Fry πππππ I really enjoyed this dish. There were plenty of porcini mushrooms and beef cubes, and the flavors were fantastic. ππ Stir-Fried Water Spinach πππ A standard vegetable dish that was just fine. π² Peach Rice Milk ππ This drink was extremely sweet and not very appealing. I wouldnβt recommend it. π΅ #NYCChineseFood #NYCSichuanCuisine ππΆοΈ
