I was in town last week and of course we had to hit up Sichuan Bistro. I definitely second the recommendations for the dry rubbed chicken, they are the best spicy chicken nuggets covered in chilis. I really recommend that you order off the Sichuan menu, although like you said, the Americanized Chinese food is better than it has any right to be. I also tried the spicy eggplant dish this time too, very good for any eggplant fans. Honestly, Sichuan cuisine has a way with vegetable dishes that is unlike any other. I could go there and just order vegetable dishes and be content. www.lawandfood.blogspot.com Hey, thanks for the shoutout Cincinnati Bites.

I keep hearing about it. A Twitterer known as "<a href="http://twitter.com/chiefhdb" rel="nofollow"><b>ChiefHDB</b></a>" recommended the following off the traditional menu: potatoes with green peppers, enoki mushroom salad, spicy boiled fish, chongqing chicken, shrimp with walnuts, double cooked pork and sesame noodles. One of your entrees looks a lot like Ma Po Tofu. That's my favorite tofu dish! :) .-= CIncinnati Bites´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.cincinnatibites.com/reviews/taqueria-mercado/40/" rel="nofollow">Restaurant Review: Taqueria Mercado</a> =-.

And one they're famous for is the sizzling beef...though I can't remember if that's what it is called. If there's more than one in the dining room, they prop open the front door to vent the place...it's seriously spicy, but the Sichuan peppercorns--those are the taste bud changers--have a weird kind of spiciness that has a cooling, numbing effect. And, the baby bok choy...well, it just may leave you speechless. Though I haven't been in a few months, I have been for both lunch and dinner, and I found dinner to be the most rewarding experience (though they close rather early), especially if you go with at least four and eat family-style. They bring the food out in the order it would traditionally be served (were you in China), and the pace of the meal is managed as well as any fine dining restaurant could do it (only faster, of course).

We were just there over the weekend for dinner, in fact. I second the recommendation for the spicy eggplant and whole-heartedly recommend any of the "(Protein) with Soft Tofu" - it's served as a large bowl, we've had either fish or beef, with soup-like sauce that makes the dish almost like a cross between soup and stew. The soft tofu is a nice contrast with the protein both taste and consistency-wise. But hang on to your hat - it is very spicy! The heat is slightly tempered by the massive pile of cilantro served on top, but it can be a lot of heat. Chris swore his tastebuds went a little crazy for part of the dinner, though mid-way through, he claimed they changed back. Taste-bud changing or not, this place is incredibly good. .-= Sara´s last blog ..<a href="http://foodstuffsnati.blogspot.com/2010/02/nicolas-over-rhine.html" rel="nofollow">Nicola's, Over the Rhine</a> =-.

This restaurant has been my wife's and my favorite restaurant since our first visit over a year ago. We go there almost every other week. If you love hot and spicy food, try dry red chilli chicken and jalapeno pepper chicken :). I’m so glad you liked it.
