Szechuan Mountain House - New York City

Jiang stew fish was almost inedibly salty I had to dump out the sauce and rinse it off to be able to eat it. Not a spice issue just salt. The green beans were good. The side rice was TINY you need to order one per person.

The portion size has decreased significantly compared to previous visits.

The rice portion was rather small, not even enough for one serving. The side dish lacked flavor and tasted bland. This restaurant did not offer an authentic Sichuan experience.

Food is ok but below my expectation. Also each dish is pretty small, which might not match with the price.

This restaurant is highly popular and sophisticated, offering beautiful surroundings that set it apart from typical Chinese eateries. While primarily catering to meat-eaters, there are also a good selection of vegan options labeled with a green leaf on the menu. I tried the Chinese long beans with eggplant and found it to be both delicious and satisfying. I visited for lunch without a reservation, but for dinner, it is recommended to make a booking in advance due to its popularity.
