We were really impressed with the food. We ordered three dishes: the original spicy sauerkraut fish, the tomato sauerkraut fish, and the Chongqing dry pepper chicken.

The fish slices were super tender and fresh, and the pickled mustard greens added an amazing depth of flavor. Portions were generous, and the side dishes complemented the main dish really well. Service was quick and friendly, and the vibe was cozy but modern. Definitely one of the best places in NYC for authentic Sichuan-style pickled fish. Will be...
