I came to Grand Sichuan for my birthday with 10 friends on a Saturday night. With most other places that claim to be able to handle big group (Tony Di Napoli for one) you can't expect much on a Saturday night. Well Grand Sichuan was a different story. We were sitted right away and had constant good service. The food was delicious. Try the fried dumplings for an appetizer! The desert they gave me for my bday was a little strange but still a nice thought. Pros: Food, Service, Dumplings!

We ordered from here after finding it on Zagats where it has a 23 rating for food. Sadly, I cannot agree. We ordered the orange flavored beef which was not even edible, let alone distiguishable as beef. The chicken and peanuts was mediocre. To give credit where credit is due: the pan fried dumplings were decent. I will not order from here again.

This used to be my favorite chinese delivery spot but perhaps management has changed because the quality of food has fallen off completely. Hoping for their old cubed filet I was instead presented with a greasy mound of fatty steak in an unappetizing sauce. It was inedible.

One of the best Chinese restaurants in Manhattan and a great value. The food is consistently good and authenthic. The chefs are all from mainland and they haven't been americanized yet. His other restaurants on 51st and 37th are also good. The menu is interesting and he has a great sense of humour.

The Grand Sichuans run by this chef are the best Sichuan in the city. And cheap too. I've been several times and always order the Sichuan dishes. There is lots more on the menu, but i cannot comment on anything else. This review is so brief maybe some will find it not very helpful, but there isn't really anything more to say, it is all around the best. NYC is lucky to have this place. Let's hope they continue to keep the authentic food top notch and the prices reasonable. Service can suffer when it is crowded. Branch on Lexington and 33rd does not seem to have this problem-- yet. Also becuse of its popularity and almost constant state of filled-to-capacity, the Chelsea menu is shorter (relatively speaking, as it is quite extensive) than other branches with the same chef, like Lexington.

If you crave authentic, spicy sichuan food, look no futher than Grand Sichuan. There's a beef dish, can't remeber the name that was the spiciest chinese dish I have ever eaten (and I've eaten a lot) and it was great. I've been to the other locations (Hells Kitchen, Canal Street) and find this one to be the best. From what I gather each has different owners and for me the Chelsea location stands out. It's not the friendliest place in the world, and waiting for a table here is a drag so try to come during off-peak times or carry out. It's the real deal for sure. Pros: Authentic Cons: Ocassional Waits

A neighborhood favorite, you need to get there early on Sunday nights when there is a line for tables. The straight forward frech tasting food is even better brought to your home. Try the General Tso's or let them chose for you! Pros: good food, good take out, friendly service Cons: can be crowded
