Szechuan Mountain House

Amazing service - they are very accommodating to special requests (reduce spice levels and make vegetarian) and our server was very helpful with recommendations etc. The food was sublime!!! Definitely get the pork belly cucumber appetizer and the sour beef soup. Eggplant and long beans was also phenomenal! Very affordable too.

Highly recommend this place as a must try in St Marks Place! Remember to wear something comfortable to manage the sweating and the bloating 😉 😋

Came here three times and the line has been always long. Be prepared to wait for 90 minutes during rush hours. The food is really great with reasonable prices. Overall worth the wait.

30 to 45 minute wait, don't think they do reservations. Food was decent. They have both spicy and non spicy options. Favorite dish was tomato fish stew, perfect combination with rice. La zi chicken a bit too hot for me but cant complain too much since I knew what I was getting myself into. Also ordered the meat rack in the photo and cucumber.

This was the very last place we ate on our last trip to NY in 2019, and it left us with such good memories. Finally we were able to come back and the experience was as good as we remembered.

We came in late on Sat night, but the service was still fast and efficient. Our food came out hot, perfectly made, and really fast (except the braised pork which we were warned takes longer). We appreciated that the photo menu (on our phones) was updated with the sold out items, and that the waiter asked if we had any allergies. (We don’t, but it’s a good precaution that more places should probably take.)

The bits of pork belly in the stir fried cabbage was a welcome surprise and paired really well with the sauce and garlic. Honestly my personal favorite dish tonight. The Ma-La pork intestines was as fantastic as we remembered from last time. (We’ve had versions of the dish in many places and highly recommend it here if you like spicy food.)
