Chelsea Chinese (fka Grand Sichuan International)

The momos at this restaurant are absolutely delicious! The chicken momos are particularly flavorful, made with fresh chicken and served with a spicy chutney that adds to the experience. I also really enjoy the vegetable momos here; they are equally tasty. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for momo lovers!

One of the standout restaurants in the Chelsea neighborhood. They serve authentic Sichuan cuisine in a somewhat cozy setting. The Hunan Beef is the best in New York; the Smoked Tea Duck is fantastic, and the Sautéed Loofah is excellent. With such a diverse menu, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Highly recommended for a visit!

There were many standout dishes, but the cucumbers were surprisingly the highlight—they were genuinely exceptional. We also loved the soup dumplings, dan dan noodles, cashew chicken, and cumin lamb, all of which were fantastic. The salt and pepper soft-shell crab was incredibly tasty, though it was a bit non-traditional since it lacked the chilis and charred scallions typically found in the dish. Our total bill for three people, which included beer, three appetizers, and three main courses, came to $80. If you enjoy a bit of spice, you definitely need to try this place!

The food was great. Cheap for NYC. Got a bit cramped/crowded after 7:30pm. Would very much recommend.

Spicy as hell! If you are looking for spicy Chinese food then this is the place to go to! There were an unbelievable number of choices on the menu so if you don 't know what to order, I recommend reading the reviews OR going with someone who 's been there before. There 's a 'fresh ' chicken dish that 's outstanding! The portions are manageable so order several dishes to get a good sampling. Also, expect a long wait especially if you come with a group. The restaurant is popular with locals AND tourists... I definitely expect to go again if I 'm in the neighborhood!
