Red Sorghum: Where Sichuan Meets NYC in a Moodily Lit Dream 🌶️✨
Stumbled upon this Long Island City gem—Red Sorghum—where Hunan heat, Sichuan spice, and American-Chinese comfort collide perfectly. Went with friends, left already planning my return. Here’s the unfiltered scoop: 🔥 Standout Dishes 🦀 Crab Soup Dumplings: Juicy, gentle crab—no vinegar needed. 🐖 Mao’s Pork Belly: Sticky-sweet, melt-in-mouth (fat = balanced). 🐏 Cumin Lamb: Bold, gamey, rice’s best friend. 🍸 Dynasty Buck: Gingery kick = perfect pre-meal buzz. ⚠️ Honest Misses 🍤 Walnut Shrimp: Too sweet (classic American-Chinese trap). 🐔 Chili Chicken: Generic (needed more numbing spice). 💫 Why It’s Special • Vibes: Moody wood, jazz soundtrack, no rushed tables. • Crowd: Mix of locals + expats—no tourist chaos. • Location: Right by the subway (easy for Queens/Brooklyn peeps). Hot Take: 8/10—Not “authentic”, but damn satisfying. Your fave NYC fusion spot? Tag it below! 👇 #NYCFusion #SpiceLovers #LICEats #RedSorghumRocks #ComfortFoodUpgrade
