Land of Plenty - Best Asian Chinese Soup Dan Dan noodles Sichuan Food Restaurant Cuisine Downtown NYC — Restaurant in New York

CHINA 🇨🇳 (Sichuan) Eat the World NYC review: In the spectrum of things to be overrun with, Sichuan food is probably one of the least bad things in the world that could do the overrunning. Manhattan, Sunset Park and Bensonhurst in Brooklyn, and Flushing Queens all seem to debut a new Sichuan restaurant each week these days, with younger generations at the helm. While some of these places are not quite up to the level of being recommendable and do not get written up, it is still a good development to see these new waves of children of immigrants and younger Chinese from a range of provinces coming over and opening up restaurants and spread the diversity.

Sichuan food is of course known for its high heat levels, but Land of Plenty prides itself in bringing all seven important components of desired tastes: Hot, sour, pungent, sweet, bitter, aromatic, and salty.

Spicy dry cold noodle dishes always seem to excel in Sichuan cooking and the chilled noodles with spicy sesame peanuts dressing ($7.45) was no exception and my favorite dish of the meal. Designed as an appetizer to share, I felt no shame in devouring the dish by myself and enjoying the nice range of most of those seven flavors buried within...

I would not recommend this place as the food quality has significantly gotten worse over the years. Not only was the food mediocre (severely dry chicken, fish was not fresh) But was shocked to receive some of the worst customer service as well. We asked for various things from the server and he ignored us a few times to the point we called him out for it. The restaurant was not very busy either. He then got into a very heated argument with us and did not think he did anything wrong. We asked to speak with his manager and he said, “if you want to speak with my manager, you can walk up to the front to speak with them”. Another shock to us! We spoke with the manager who was apologetic and sympathetic but did nothing to appease the situation and the server continued to defend his weak case in front of the manager. Regardless, we informed the manager and the server that we plan to leave no tip for being yelled at and also that neither us nor our friends plan on...

We all got a few dishes to share, and I must say, the atmosphere of the restaurant and the decor is soothing and nice to look at with some abstract paintings. Now, from my experience, I definitely wouldn’t get takeout or delivery, because the food isn’t great. Each dish we ordered was a disappointment on different levels, and we’ve had better of the same dishes. Also, each dish portion was smaller than what we would’ve liked and doesn’t quite match up with what you pay. For dessert, we decided to try the tan yuan. When we discussed the dish later, we agreed that all it was was a bunch of tiny gum-ball things without any filling-simply colored balls of starch. I’m not sure why they suggested it, but we were duped either way. The biggest disappointment might’ve been the chicken, as the crispy popcorn chicken dish(not exactly) had a sweeter taste than necessary and the portion was pretty small. A bit too saucy as well, so the crispy part...
