" I visited MCCB with high hopes due to its Michelin reviews, but the food didn’t quite meet my expectations. While some dishes were tasty, others were overly salty and lacked balance. Service was decent, but I felt that it could improve in terms of attentiveness. That said, the integral atmosphere was fun and lively, perfect for gatherings. Overall, I'd consider returning to explore more from the menu, hoping for better dish selection next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Highly recommend trying the Dan Dan noodles at MCCB! They were rich in flavor with just the right amount of heat. The portions were generous, and the atmosphere was lively. We didn't feel cramped despite the restaurant being busy. Service was friendly, but they could use another server as they seemed stretched thin at times. Overall, this is a terrific place for Szechuan food aficionados. I can’t wait to bring more friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at MCCB was overall a mixed experience. Some dishes were fantastic, like the sweet and sour ribs, while others lacked the punch I was hoping for. The ambiance is cozy, and the staff is friendly. I appreciate that they focus on quality ingredients, though I feel they could improve on the consistency of the dishes. I might give it another try in the future, as I am curious about their other offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had high expectations due to its Michelin recognition, my visit to MCCB left me somewhat disappointed. The pork belly was decent but could have used some more seasoning. It was evident that the kitchen prioritized presentation over flavor in some dishes. Overall, the food was good but not exceptional. The ambiance was lively but a bit cramped, making it hard to hold a conversation. Service was satisfactory, but it lacked that personal touch. " (*Curated Review*)

" MCCB offers a delightful dining experience for anyone seeking authentic Szechuan flavors. I particularly enjoyed the sweet and spicy beef, which was exquisite! It’s a lively place perfect for families, although some dishes might come off as a bit too spicy for kids. The servers were friendly and accommodating, and I could see myself returning multiple times to try all the other offerings on their extensive menu. Definitely recommend it for spice lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" MCCB is definitely a gem in Chinatown! The spicy wontons were mesmerizing; they pack a punch in the best way. The staff were friendly and understanding regarding spice levels in our order. One minor setback was that the food took a bit longer to arrive than we expected, but it was definitely worth the wait. The overall ambiance was relaxed, making it a great spot for catching up with friends over delicious food. I’m looking forward to my return visit for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing flavors at MCCB! I had their Kung Pao Chicken, which was fantastic and well-balanced. The ambiance was casual, perfect for a low-key dinner. The only drawback was the wait time; we came on a Saturday evening and it took quite a bit to be seated. However, the food made up for it! I would absolutely recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic Chinese cuisine with a spicy twist! " (*Curated Review*)
