Traditional Chinese

We would like to introduce Mao Jia Cai(Mao's home cooking) to our fellow New Yorkers. A number of Chinese restaurants in Beijing, China, are named after Mao and cook Mao's favorite dishes. Mao Jia Ca'?s dishes are very popular and famous in whole China today. Almost every Chinese knows them; even he or she doesn't eat them. If everybody knows these dishes in China, why don't we tell these dishes to our fellows in New York? We offer spicy peppers, pork, fish, crab, chicken. On our menu are some dishes listed below:te dishes: 1. Braised pork and chestnut in brown sauce. 2. Sauteed duck and bitter melon. 3. Sauteed whole spicy red or green pepper. 4. Steamed river fish. 5. Sauteed Chinese vegetables

Quick, no-frills service matches the modest atmosphere. Expect a wait at peak times. The Food Although the menu covers popular bases with "American Chinese food" and stabs at Shanghainese favorites like soup dumplings, the core competency here is the pungent, hot Sichuan cooking. A marinated salad of raw garlic, savory melon and piquant green peppers starts the meal with a bang. Continue with perfect garlicky eggplant or top-notch dry-sauteed string beans, both excellently fresh and handsomely presented. Farm-raised chicken, fresh-killed, is a specialty here, and its fuller flavor makes a marked difference in everything from chili-heaped "Chong Qing" chicken to familiar kung pao. For those who shirk spice, options abound, including gingery, full-flavored pork or tofu and fine, crisp scallion pancakes.

The good table was "reserved" for two people of asian decent that came in after us while we were stuck next to the kitchen....... wouldnt seat us until our whole party was there bla bla bla. Who cares!!!!!!!!! Happens everywhere people, deal with it. The soup dumplings were amazing. My brother and I downed eight of them in a minute..... great stuff. We ordered Orange Beef and kung Pao chicken/shrimp, which was awful. WOuld not go back to this place because it is nothing special but had to wait for a table. Pros: Soup Dumplings Cons: Orange Beef, Kung Pao Chicken and Shrimp Posted 03/18/09 HORRIBLE Rude Service and mediocre food By PinkElephant27 Appaulled by the treatment these people gave me. I called for a delivery, they were hostile. I should have known better but I ordered from them anyway. 1 Hour and 20 minutes later the guy showed up. I said you are over an hour late. He was very surly and told me that they were busy and if I didn't like it that I shouldn't order from them. I wanted to see if my food was still warm before paying and the guy CURSED at me. The food turned out to be Horrible too! Argh PLEASE DO NOT PATRONIZE THESE PEOPLE Pros: None Cons: Rude, obnoxious, bad food, deeply disappointed and angry Posted 01/08/09 HORRIBLE, TACKY CUSTOMER SERVICE By bellakins I had by far, the WORST restaurant experience at Grand Sichuan. I came in to order a few appetizers. I was told (after sitting down) that there is a $7 minimum/guest to eat in. After putting in a bigger order, I was told that they had RUN OUT of restaurant staples like Egg Drop soup. Due to this I left a measly tip. Before I could leave a manager(?) came over to me to inform me that 15% tip is REQUIRED (regardless of service). She then proceeded to show me OTHER PEOPLE'S BILLS to demonstrate what 15% looks like! I begrudgingly put down a few bucks. The manager then told me "you don't have to come back". Wow. Grand Sichuan's food is fine, but this tacky customer service is atrocious. Strong-arming customers into paying you a tip is not the way to run a professional establishment! Pros: None Cons: Customer service, running out of food, minimum $7/person to eat-in Posted 12/21/08 For Great food __not recommended for a total dining experience due to manager By aword __get rid of "Larry" the so called manager of this restaurant . Go out to have a pleasant non rushed dinner with friends _ order from some of the best dishes on the menu_and I will say the food is excellent__then during dinner encounter Larry the manger. Unlike most restaurants managers, Larry , is not there to insure a comfortable easy non-rushed dining experience but makes sure you eat fast to get out . And this happened when the restaurant was not truly busy; most times this place had lines out the door but not any more. Could this be the resulting impact of Larry? One expects to be rushed in this city but not when sitting down to have dinner. This could be the best Asian in the city if Larry is re-trained or is no longer a manager and the rest of the serving staff is allowed not to rush customers. It would be the restaurant to go to every time you craved great Asian food. Any one else have this experience ? Pros: Food Cons: Manager__too rushed __ rude Posted 10/15/08 WooWW Chinese Food By Htompkin Wow - this place has great Chinese food! My roomates and I went on a Sunday night and had a great dinner at a very reasonable price. You must go and see this lovely restaurant I would recommend this place to anyone who needs deliver . Pros: cheapfriendly staff Posted 09/19/08
