Trying Every Restaurant on the NYT 2025 Top 100 List – Szechuan Mountain House (#9)
One of my absolute favorite places in the city to go with a group, especially for the fish soup! Also think the Flushing location is better than the EV location

The food looks amazing and the restaurant is gorgeous!!
Szechuan Mountain House is great…and there are so many similar places right there in Flushing that don't make any lists. We're are spoiled in Queens!!
Here before Andrew đ€
I agree, the food there is delicious! Big yes on the string beans wherever I am. I like their okra too.
The little koi pond is a fun feature, but made me think about swimming around in a little hot fish soup pond, which is perhaps wrong.
Kudos for the back to back vids
Omg their mapo tofu is my favorite in the city!
đ the chicken is called laziji in pinyin (romanized) and the point of the sheer amount of chili peppers is the treasure hunt for chicken. It's a stylistic presentation.
the double-cooked pork and beef slices in spicy sour soup are my faves there đ
omg that Suan Cai Yu looks so fire. fish with pickled mustard greens broth is the most goated sichuan dish
I will always order sichuan green beans!
all laziji is like that⊠itâs normal to serve it with that many chillis and isnt really ever another way
that all looks like crazy good sichuan food
Really liked the bowl they served the mapo tofu in. Makes a great presentation. Would love to try it sometime.
Is someone making a shadow heart on your shirt, or is it a byproduct of someone filming you?
wait theres a branch of this restaurant near me i will be going !!
One of my best friends is from Chengdu, and this is her favorite Sichuan restaurant outside of Sichuan. Yes, that includes the rest of China.
Never not impressed that you go out with a bright white t-shirt to eat. No matter what I do I spill a little something on my shirt every time.
Bing bong ding dong. Why do they yell when they speak? Zero FKING attention span. YOU GIVE TO ME FOR FREE.
this place was nice but i didnt find it to be anything special over any other good chinese place
Guessing the Mapo Tofu is Andrew's fav?
Youâre brave to wear a white shirt to a Sichuan style restaurant đ
