" I stopped by The Best Sichuan for a quick lunch and was impressed by the vibrant atmosphere and menu options. I tried the hot and sour soup and the beef noodle soup, both of which I found to be authentic and satisfying. The spice level was just right for me, balancing heat without overwhelming the other flavors. Although the service was quick, the staff could have been a bit friendlier. Overall, a solid choice if you’re looking for authentic flavors during your lunch break! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an exceptional meal at The Best Sichuan! Arriving around 9 PM for a late dinner, I was apprehensive about the service during peak hours, but I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was attentive and our food arrived promptly. The la zi ji (spicy chicken) and dan dan noodles were to die for! Super flavorful and just the right amount of spice, not to mention the generous portions that left me feeling satisfied but not overly stuffed. I will definitely be back for more.

I tried their spicy beef noodle soup and it was fantastic—just the right texture and spiciness that I expect from a proper Sichuan meal. The staff were attentive and polite, making sure our glasses were never empty. A bit on the pricey side, but one visit and I can assure you it's worth every penny. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week, I had the pleasure of dining at The Best Sichuan. As someone who has traveled to Chengdu, I was pleasantly surprised to find such authentic Sichuan cuisine in New York. The hot pot we ordered was truly delicious, and everything from the seasonings to the spices transported me back to China. Although the restaurant was busy, the service was still prompt and overly attentive. You can tell the staff genuinely cares about the experience of their guests. Highly recommend trying their mapo tofu! " (*Curated Review*)

I look forward to coming back and trying their other spicy dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
