All their chefs are trained and certified in the Sichuan province-home of Sichuan cuisine. Famous Sichuan is dedicated to offering you the finest and most savory Sichuan Chinese food. Their mission is to exceed every expectation you have of Sichuan cuisine, which is legendary in China for its sophistication and diversity.

Many people around the world tend to think of Sichuan food as a hot or spicy, and one may wonder why the red pepper is so popular in Sichuan cuisine. The truth is that the Sichuan province has a humid climate and studies showed that consuming red pepper can effectively help reduce internal dampness in the human body. Sichuan cuisine has another important ingredient called “Huajiao” or flower pepper. It is a special Chinese pepper from the prickly ash tree which creates a numbing effect on one’s tongue.

Famous Sichuan carefully balances color, smell, flavor and shape to create dishes that are both nutritious and delicious! Visit them on Pell and Bowery or order online for authentic Sichuan.
