Many Chinese come to this few-frills restaurant to feast on fiery, aromatic Sichuan classics. Around the world, piquant Sichuan (or Szechuan) cuisine is often toned down for Western customers, but these guys keep it real for all their clientele, Asian or not. Menu highlights include fried string beans and the ma-po tofu laden with fermented black beans and fiery peppercorns.
