Comment: My favorite part of this amazing place and food, I asked for spicy, but maybe not the 3 pepper hot my meal was tagged with....then I changed my mind not to be a pain and said dont worry about it, give it to me with full spice. My server was genuinely worried, and revisited me to check in multiple times to make sure I was enjoying the meal, and not too spicy. It was so delicious...and so spicy and perfect!!

Comment: This has become a staple in my family & we come here almost monthly. We found this place after a very charismatic chef tried to convince to come in yet we had just eaten & promised him we would return. We did & we were not disappointed, the service is great & the food is even better. I recommend their Long hot pepper, both with chicken & with beef, The kung pao chicken, orange chicken, dry pepper style chicken (or beef) & their vegetable rice noodles . Thats all ive had so far yet i believe anything you order, you wont regret.

Comment: A nice Sichuan restaurant conveniently located near Bryant Park. The service is responsive and kind - no stress. The place is clean and well lit, with your usual Chinese theme decoration. The menu has what you would want whether its authentic Sichuan or American Chinese.We got the sichuan dishes in it was solid. Not the best Ive had and not bad at all. I especially like the pea vines. The rice noodles were a bit bland. The mapo tofu food was okay, and could have been a lot spicier.

Comment: Somehow, they made Sichuan food not spicy but tasty. My friend who says black pepper is spicy for him said the food was great and was a tiny spicy for him but didnt bother him at all. Im accustomed to Sichuan food in Chengdu so I felt this was baby level spiciness XD. Next time I have to tell them to make it extra spicy as Chengdu style.

Comment: Authentic Sichuan food. Stumbled upon this restaurant & so glad we went in. Warmly welcomed by the service staff who spoke English as well as Mandarin & Cantonese, we knew we were in for a treat when we learnt the chef was from Chengdu. Service was friendly, helpful & prompt. The food appeared piping hot & fast! Great when dining family style & sharing dishes. The Gong Bao chicken was outstanding as well as the tofu & chilli fish. In facf - everything we had was spot on & spice levels can be adjusted. Reasonably priced & portions are large so be hungry when you come here. Definitely recommend this place for a quick & spicy authentic experience.

Comment: Fantastic Chinese restaurant in the heart of midtown. I was looking for a decent Chinese restaurant that was kid friendly and I stumbled upon The Best Sichuan on Google. I am thrilled that we gave it a try.The food was delicious. Everything was prepared fresh and exactly to order. Everything was really full of flavor. You could tell that everything was homemade. The sauces were not overly sweet and had just the right amount of spice. All dishes were prepared with fresh herbs and spices. The kitchen was speedy as well which certainly helps with a bunch of hungry kids.Also, the service was impeccable. Everyone was friendly, attentive and gracious.The restaurant was also extremely clean and well kept (even the bathrooms were spotless).A true gem, and well definitely be back!!

Comment: Greeted warmly upon entry, the menu is varied and guarantees for a pleasant delicious meal.They can adjust spice levels as needed, so I ordered a milder version of the chicken dry pot, as well as an amazingly cooked scallion pancake, which it’s flakiness reminded me of a warm buttery croissant.Bonus points, I asked for a ginger ale, and they brought out an ice cold can of Canada Dry, I’ve been getting lots of unflavourful fountain ginger ale from restaurants lately…Loved the experience, Best Sichuan can keep their name and bragging rights.

The fish filet with pickled vegetable and broth was our favorite thing on the menu. It had a bit of spice and was also a little sour creating a balanced and flavorful dish. The waiters are very friendly and efficient. We got our food within 5 to 7 minutes after ordering!Highly recommend the best sichuan!

Excellent service, very friendly staff and the food is really good. We tried the scallion pancakes, fish dry hot pot and chicken lo mein. The fish dry hot pot was especially good. A tad spicy but very tasty. An iced tea or coke is a good companion. Will definitely return..

Staff is super attentive and from order to our food coming out was a total of 4 minutes. Came after a Broadway show and it was a super quick walk and got seated right away(we did eat @4pm so a bit early). BF made sure to eat every pieces of rice on the plate. GT was a little spicy but as someone who doesn’t do spice I was totally fine. Recommended by a friend, great pick!!

Comment: Pretty good Chinese food in NYC. I tried chicken with chilly sauce, hot and sour soup and dumplings. Chicken was good, fresh just a little spicy. My most favorite was hot and sour soup. Dumplings were ok. Will try more dishes next time.

Comment: One of the best Sichuanese restaurant in the area, they do get busy during lunch but that only means their food is really good. They have a solid lunch special menu, this place is definitely a must try.

Comment: I’ve gone to The Best Sichuan for years and it is one of the best chinese as well as sichuan restaurants in NYC.Before they relocated to 39thST a few years ago and hit the pandemic, they used to be on 38thST between 6th and Broadway. The restaurant was always full of customers and well-known for great sichuan food in the area.This current location is even better as it has more upscale looking with high ceiling and a beautiful bar. They carry all kinds of liquors with reasonable price.If you are not so familiar with sichuan cuisine(generally spicy🌶), you could go with their delicious and authentic fresh made dumplings. Also, their fried rice is not so greasy but really flavorful. My personal favorite is dry pepper style chicken. If you like spicy peppery stir fried chicken, this is something you would have to try. Also, the dry pot style is amazing as the meat is so tender and flavorful with all different veggies in the pot and it is served with small stove on your table and keep the food warm until you are done. It is highly recommended as well.In terms of service, they provide customers with best service. The food and drinks come always fast. All the waitstaffs are so nice and attentive, and especially the head waiter is very kind! They have a lot of regular customers visiting frequently from the area as the service is amazing. It is truly hard to find a place like The Best Sichuan that serve great quality food with reasonable price and great service. Highly highly recommend here!!!

Comment: I was wanting Chinese food and found this place on Google and am really happy that I chose to go in. The inside is gorgeous and the staff was very accommodating. Highly recommend the chicken lo mein and orange chicken. The restaurant accommodated the request for white meat for the orange chicken which was very nice of them. Would definitely come back again.

Comment: I am always down for sichuan food especially with friend. You get to order many dishes and try them all. Family style dining is the way to go guys.Called for a reservation but you don’t need to for a Friday night. It’s barely half filled and that should change after this awesome review of course. The place can use some touch up especially when entering. It looks a little chaotic and your eye will gravitate to the second floor balcony dining area. Next time I want that spot.We skip directly to the entree. Appetizers are for people who are not hungry and none of us fit into that category. Omg the food. Chili pepper fish fillet is out of this world. Just the pepper corn is a little messy to eat. I wish they would just grind it down to powder. Double cook pork is on par and rest of the dinner.The service lady is nice with very very little English. We managed to get our order correctly thou.Thanks for the lemon in the water that is a great touch.

Comment: New Sichuan restaurant in an area that already has many good sichuan options can be tricky, especially with a name that might seem like a tallclaim…but The Best Sichuan do live up to it. Excellent authentic szechuan food, nice service. Good value for money. The ambiance was pretty nice and cozy. The staff were very kind and hospitable. We had a great time. Highly recommend this place!

Comment: A delicious spot for Sichuan on a street thats already rich with Sichuan pleasures. Nothing we had was all that spicy (not even with 3 pepper symbols), but everything was balanced, well prepared and full of flavor. The wontons in chili oil were in a sauce so yummy I would have taken some home with me - garlicy, deeply savory and vinegared with just a hint of chili. The whole braised fish was especially awesome, dry fried in cumin with great skill and then plunged into a chili bath with loads of good veg and glass noodles. One really could just order this and be happy. The mapo tofu had me worried because it looked a little gloppy, but the flavor was great there too. Personally I wish they would turn up the spice just a little bit (it would sell me more beer), but the flavors were excellent, so I cant fault it. Covid seems to have left them with a sadly empty dining room, when clearly they deserve better, so if youre concerned that there is no one inside, worry not - its good. Service was very attentive and friendly.

Comment: Let us begin with the restaurant as a whole. I must say their attention to details to the guest are there. The food doesnt taste like your typical Chinese restaurant. They give you a piece if their town and you can definitely taste it in every bite. The ladies that work there are sweet and patient. Its a nice cozy area, that transports you to another setting. Their food was amazingly executed.

Chongqing chicken was perfectly done with great flavor & delightful Sichuan peppercorns, and even basic tangy garlic chicken (hold the wood ear/fungus unless you know you like it) was delicately perfect. *Highly* recommend even above 5 Google stars.

We came at about 6:30 on a Sunday and it was almost completely empty, so no wait. The staff are very friendly and professional; our server was attentive and the food was amazing! Do yourself a favor and try the pork dumplings in chili oil 10/10.

But this one really surprised us with great food and warm-hearted services. We order beef, chicken, hot-pot, and pork, which are beyond delicious😋. Also, cocktails are REALLY amazing, and you won’t missed that.

Comment: Dont be fooled by the tile flooring and sparse decor- thats how you know a good chinese spot! I recommend coming here in a group and sitting at one of the traditional lazy-susan tables in the back for an authentic sichuan experience. Food and drink should be plentiful, family style, and accompanied by endless tea! The shrimp dumplings are great, but your main attraction here are the lamb chops. Dry-rubbed with a numbing five-spice heavy on the sichuan pepper, and grilled to succulence, this is one of the best lamb chops Ive ever had. The chicken soup is also fantastic, but dont miss the pork belly either! I came here for a work party and Im a beer gal, but my coworkers raved about the chocolate martini!

Comment: I was borned and raised in Sichuan, and have lived in SF Bay Area (where theres plenty of options for Chinese/Sichuan food) for many years. It was truely a pleasant surprise to find this authentic Sichuan restaurant in midtown right next to our hotel. We ate here 3 times over a 7 day peirod! I would rate it better or as good any Sichuan style restaurant in the Bay Area, it’s definitely authentic and well executed. The owner’s from Chengdu, and chef has worked at Chengdu restaurants like巴国布衣/飘香. If you’re looking for typical American Chinese food, they will have it; but you should really come here for the real thing. If you’re not familiar with authentic Sichuan food, check out Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown S08E03, and/or The Mind of A Chef S06E03.

Comment: This is the orange chicken meal youve dreamed about. Non breaded white chicken, coated with the perfect consistency of orange sauce. The orange sauce has just the right amount of sweetness to it, enough to fill a sweet tooth craving without killing it before you finish your meal. It comes with the option of very high quality brown rice. The spring roll was also made of notably higher quality ingredients, using a thinly coated wrap. Savour Sichuan raised the bar quite high-- you would be hard pressed to find a better classic orange chicken meal anywhere else in the city.

Comment: Another solid authentic Sichuan contender in the Midtown West area.The Hot Sauce Style fish (水煮鱼) ($18.95): Delicious dish with an awful translation. A well-made classic take on a classic dish. Recommended.Dry Pot Style chicken (干锅鸡) ($16.95): Thought this one was rather bland, and ended up dipping it in the sauce from the hot sauce style fish. Wouldnt get this one again.Overall, eager to come back and try more items from their menu.

Comment: Very authentic Chinese cuisine with detailed menu and pictures to aid in ordering. Friendly service, speed was fine. Their water is always infused with citrus or cucumbers so adds a nice zest to it. Very spicy so when asked I would recommend adjusting your regular spice level down a few notches. Large space that can fit many guests, but bathrooms are tiny and can cause congestion.

Comment: Very interesting Chinese experience for someone whos never had anything but fast food Chinese. From what I understand, this is still not traditional, but it was very good. The waiter took our order and met all requests. A Chinese client took us and it sounded like they were very accommodating about any requests. The service after that was a bit lacking and I think my water glass had soap in it, but that didnt subtract from the food enough to give a lower rating. Plenty of seating and seemed well staff. Large menu with a wide variety of dishes. Not sure what we ordered, but a whole fish, lamb dish, and beef dish, more than filled 3 people.

Comment: Loved it. Midtown has a decent place to get super spicy food that numbs your lips.Walked over after having a few Brews at skylark. Sat with a party of 6 and promptly seated. Ordered and food was like waiting for us.We had the Dan Dan noodles, not as spicy as the ones at THE HANDY nasty but good.Also asked for the fish soup, tofu platter and other spicy food that the waiter recommended. Omg so delicious, so numbing if you can actually think its a good flavor. Clean, cheap, fast and delicious. The best part was that locals actually come here, its not a tourist trap.I will edit the review when I get home and check the names of the plate.

Comment: Ive been to this place 3 times as a tourist from Massachusetts (although I go to the city at least 4 times a year). The first time, I got general tsos chicken and it was very good, just what you would expect -- not *too* greasy, and very satisfying.The next time, I ordered the Pad Thai. Oh man was it good. I have high standards for Pad Thai, and this was really good. And not expensive, either. However it took *forever* for the woman to bring me my check, even though I was paying in cash and shouldnt have taken very long. I was alone right next to the bar, and she saw me and acknowledged me several times, but seemed frazzled as a few groups came in for Saturday lunch hour. Not too happy about that.The last time I went was in July 2013. I took my boyfriend. He had never had General Tsos chicken OR Pad Thai before, and it was a good experience to have it here.I dont know what the weird bad reviews from yelp are about, but Ive had a few very pleasant experiences! My go-to chinese/thai fix when Im in midtown.

Comment: The food was excellent. Tied for best scallion pancake in NYC. I also had crispy orange beef & snow peas leaves.China Sun had a lot of bad reviews about their service. Im not sure why because their service was excellent as far as Im concerned.All I can say is if you are nice to them, theyll be nice to you.
