Cuisine: 8 Service: 7 Decor: 6 Value: 8 Overall: 8 After three great meals here and two within the last week, this is definitely one of my new favorite Szechuan restaurants in NYC. Everything feels like home cooking and just extremely flavorful. They have various sized dishes. The high priced ones are humongous, while others that are smaller at a much lower price point. A word of advice to pay attention to this fact and not over order. On our last two visits, here is what we ordered. Signature Clam (9/10) - This a gigantic plate of clams that has such a delicious sauce made of clam juices, chili peppers, ginger and Chinese celery. I can just keep munching on these delicious bivalves and use its yummy sauce to enjoy with my rice. Ordered it both of the last two visits and loved by everyone. Yanwu Signature Fish (8/10) - Very tender poached Tilapia in a wonderful broth that has a nice vinegary taste and numbing peppery flavor. Wish they used more green peppercorns, but I feel like they toned down the numbness due to my non-Asian guests. Chili Sauce Duck Blood (7/10) - If you like innards, then this dish is for you. It had duck blood, tripe, intestine, SPAM, emperor mushroom, and bean sprouts. Another fantastic dish over some white rice. Eggplant in Garlic Sauce (8/10) - Extremely well cooked eggplant with a garlicky and vinegary sauce. A bit oily but that's somewhat expected. Szechuan Bacon (8/10) - Aka twice cooked pork. One of the group's favorite because it's such a common Szechuan dish, yet done better than most restaurants out there. Smoky with a small kick from the peppers. Mapo Tofu (7/10) - Slightly salty, but overall a fairly well done version of this Szechuan staple. Once again, I feel like they toned down the numbness for my guests, which was not necessary. I will have to try this version once more on my own. Yellow Chives Stir Fried Squid (9/10) - Surprisingly tender squid and ridiculously yummy sauce. There are both yellow and green chives, with bell peppers and birds eye chili. Smoked Bamboo Shoots & Cured Pork Face (8/10) - Very unexpected dish both in flavor and texture. There is a slight crunch from the bamboo that worked well with the chewiness of the pork face, while all of it was smoky. Yum! Yanwu Signature Trotter (9/10) - If you don't mind getting your hands dirty, and enjoy a good trotter, then this is your dish. Texturally, it has some well seasoned crispy skin and delicious gooey tendon inside. One of my favorite dishes here. Griddle Taishan Cauliflower (8/10) - So simple, but executed very well. One of the tastiest version of this dish I have experienced. All in all, these were two outstanding meals. They may have toned down the spiciness for my group imho on the first visit, but kicked it up round two as requested. Compared to most Szechuan restaurants in Flushing, I feel the food here has more depth of flavor. I will be back often to keep trying more on the menu.

Wow, a new favorite Szechuan place in Flushing that recently opened! Everything is perfectly spiced & balanced, and the portions are huge for the price. A no frills mom & pop shop that serves amazing food. My favorites were the Pepper Braised Chicken (get this one!) and Fuqi Feipian (such huge portions). The mapo tofu, garlic eggplant, and cauliflower were all absolutely delicious as well, but more on the standard side. At the end of the meal right when you are feeling spiced and numb from all the savory food, they serve a complimentary bingfen dessert with hawthorn and brown sugar that perfectly balances my taste buds! Next time, I definitely want to try the yanwu signature fish, lazi chicken, and pig ears. Will be back soon to try! :)

BEST SICHUAN HOMECOOKING IN NYC HANDS DOWN. One of those hole in the wall places. Good for group gathering and finding cheap eats.

Food is good but not amazing. Seats are limited and I heard it gets very busy during dinner time (we went early before 5pm and more than half of the restaurant is full- ground floor). Service is good but they are one of those "use QR code" to order your own food restaurant.

Really authentic no-frills Sichuan restaurant! really great value for the quantity and taste of food. This two-floor space 4 min from the Main St subway stop was easy to walk into on a Friday night for a group of 5. You scan a QR code to order food for the table and you can see what everyone has ordered! We ordered 5 dishes and since the total was more than 100$, they gifted us 2 free drinks! My favorite was (in order) the clams ($60 but HUGE portion), the lazi chicken (addicting but felt the quality of the meat was mid, much better than sichuan mountain house), the hand shredded cabbage (oily, not as good as mountain house but enjoyed the potent numbing flavor!), signature stir fried beef, and the eggplant. I will have to come back to try their yanwu fish, frog, pot of braised chicken and their jelly! They ended the meal with complimentary bingfen, a jelly dessert with brown sugar syrup, shanzha (hawthorn flakes) and peanuts. Such a nice touch that made us v happy and helped our mouths cool down from the spicy meal! Overall $35pp and will definitely return!

Delicious spot tucked away next to a few other small restaurants behind Tangram. This restaurant specializes in authentic Sichuan food packed with spice in huge portions. All dishes are pretty spicy, but the ones with a lot of sauce (as opposed to the dry spice ones) tend to be a lot more spicy. My two favorites are the shrimp and eggplant, and I'd recommend sharing between at least 3 people unless you're ready to take home leftovers (which are also delicious). Service is great and staff are very attentive to any questions, water level, etc. You can order online through a QR code with lots of pictures which makes it easy to choose. Once you place your order, food is pretty quick to arrive too.

We got to know Xu Chu last year from our friends who live in Flushing. So far we've ordered over five times and there was no time they failed us. If you want authentic food and don't want to go to Chuanshanjia or Daxi for money, this would be a good choice. But headsup they don't have many tables even though they have two stories.

The best szechuan restaurant I've ever had in Fls. I'm a spicy addicted, the flavor is too good for me. The place is small but clean. Service is so so, our total bill was $198 (before tax), we have 4 people but they just gave us 3 soda for free (only $2 to $200 ).
