One of the best Sichuan restaurants in Queens. When you don’t feel like going to Flushing bc of the crazy traffic. Highly recommend The Chilli Pepper Beef.

The food is authentic, and not terribly spicy and oily like many other Sichuan places. The glass noodle with minced pork is very delicious, as well as the cold appetizers. They also sell some deli items.

Food was excellent! We asked for cumin lamb, I don’t even think it’s on the menu, and we got a very large, piping hot, absolutely delicious platter of fragrant lamb and peppers. The eggplant in garlic sauce was terrific as well. Beer duck was tasty but there wasn’t much edible on those duck pieces, and it wasn’t worth the price. Ambience isn’t exactly overwhelming either. But who needs fancy? Overall really good food at very fair prices, perhaps the best Chinese food in walking distance of Jackson Heights.

It is a really small restaurant, but the food there tastes really good, authentic Chinese food.

Authentic Szechuan food, savory, spicy, fresh ingredients. Downsides are the very oily sauces, overpriced, and English is not that great. It was challenging and to place an order over the phone & the delivery needed to call twice for clarification of address. Overall, pretty good just rough on tummy with the greasiness.

I had the lunch special pork with bean curd. It’s pretty good for the price. It comes with a complimentary soup. Worth it for the cheap price

Very good to excellent Chinese food, only a little too greasy. I’ve eaten there a number of times. I just ordered the Yang Chow Fried Rice, the Shredded Pork with Dry Bean Curd, and Hot and Sour Soup. All were delicious. I wish they had online ordering because phone communication is difficult.

The waitress’ attitude is incredibly bad! I feel like they are always in bad mood LOL.

I stopped in for lunch for the 2nd time and the Shredded Pork Peking Style was amazing. Great authentic Chinese cooking.

The best Sichuan(Szechuan) food I’ve ever had in America! It’s a small restaurant, about eight tables. We ordered spicy fish fillet with soft tofu, beer ducks, and a stir fried vegetables. Everything taste just like what I had in Chengdu. 大隐隐于市!

1st time review, long time local. once a long time ago boon chu was my go to spot for cheapie lunch eats but I highly recommend patronizing the less no fuss Chinese joints like shun Wang in the area or this place. Boon chu is still good just no longer as affordable for lunch. As of 12−26−14 a lunch special comes with soup at $ 5.95. Portions are decent but not generous. It’s tasty and oily. Dont blow up places like this on social media and they’ll be around for you to enjoy humbly for years, one hopes…

I’ve been going to this family run restaurant for the past 4 years. The food is consistently good! Pricing like all restaurants eventually creep up due to popularity and associated costs in running a business! Service is friendly and not slow. Food is flavorful and varied-depending on what your palate craves!

Eatable, all three dishes ordered today were salty as hell. Tips: if you ever dare to try, please stay away from the double cooked pork slices. You can find much better spicy food with lower price anywhere in New York. P. S. Now after the meal, my friend and I are both having upset stomach. So 2 stars to 1 star. Take care, for your own good.

This fish filet in fresh hot pepper was so stunning and super spicy. The taste was authentic. Plain rice balls w/rice wine sauce soup was yummy. The dish has too much oil. And all the Chinese dishes have MSG, and I have ok with it. I gave one star off because the restaurant name. Actually it was not sweet but Szechuan authentic spicy.

My boyfriend and I came here a few months ago and got the crab. AMAZING! So a few weeks ago we decided to try this place again. I could not believe how rude the waitress was. She clearly did not like me and was very un-attentive. I was very surprised and really wanted this place to be more then it is. Sorry guys, step up the service. No one wants to feel uncomfortable when visiting your establishment. It’s not enough to just have good food, be nice to your patrons.

When my sister and I come here, we always order the fish filets with fresh hot pepper and three-cup basil chicken. Unfortunately, the quality of their dishes have really gone down-hill. There’s way too much oil and MSG used in their cooking and it makes me feel like crap the next day. If they start using less oil, I’ll be more adamant to coming back. On the plus side, the food is authentic Szechuan cuisine and the portions are generous. We’re always able to secure a table even on a busy Sat night.

This review, oddly, is for one and one thing only — lunch special take out of 3 Cup Chicken I ate here for about 2 yrs while i worked in the neighborhood… i’ve always only ordered that one item. when picking up, there are about less than 10 tables in the small restaurant, i think there’s only one table that seats 8, and the rest are 4 and 2-seaters. it looks like a fam business cuz there’s a middle-aged couple and their daughter @ the cashier. even with my one and only order, they still often make mistakes(like forgetting to add hot peppers that i requested)… there were a few times that my coworkers got into small spats over the phone with them cuz of the bad phone attitude(from the youngsters, not the owners, i believe). just beware that the dishes here are heavy in flavor so expect saltiness and the need to drink lots of water after.

I have tried many of their lunch specials since they are one of the very few restaurants who doesn’t require minimum for delivery. My favorite is Diced Fish and Pickled Turnip in Spicy Sauce. The fish is very good but I hope they can give more fish and less pickles ;-) It also comes with a small soup for only $ 5.50! Very Spicy but you can ask for less spicy. Shredded Pork Peking Style(Lunch Special) — It’s pretty heavy. Normally I don’t like heavy food too much, but this is good. Sweet and salty at the same time, similar to General Tso’s chicken or sesame chicken with out sesame. Shredded Pork with Dry Bean Curd(Lunch Special) is not bad but a bit too oily for me. Spicy Double Cooked Pork(Lunch Special) — soso but mine was a little bit burned Enhanced Pork(Lunch Special) — taste like double cooked pork but more crispy, oily and spicier. I prefer this one than the double cooked pork. Shrimp and chicken in oyster sauce(Lunch Special) — my roommate like it but i think it was just okay. Too heavy for me. Dried Sauteed String Bean(Lunch Special) — DONOTORDERTHISONE!!! This is terrible. I hate wasting food, but I can’t even finish it so don’t even think abt it.

Sweet? I can not imagine Anything coming out of that kitchen that has any sweetness to it. Beginning with the Spicy Rabbit appetizer, which was flavorful, but very bony experience, heat was the theme. The bold flavors were in your face with every mouthful. In particular I found the the pungency and spiciness in the entrée’s like the Xong King Fish(I may have gotten the 1st word incorrect) and the Spicy Beef with vegetables, were a direct result of quite loose handed & liberal use of garlic and chili peppers. Sweet Yummy House fits a wonderful niche serving up Szechwan style cooking, right in the middle of busy Elmhurst. Typically to have the opportunity to enjoy such particular and regional cooking, one would need to venture to Manhattan or the Flushing area. The fish dish was served in a bowl that literally held just under ¾ of a gallon of liquid, with many Yummy items waiting below the surface of the spicy red liquid and was close to impossible to finish. I am still a touched perplexed as to all the ingredients. The Beef dish was not particularly to my liking, as the vegetables were only onions and peppers and thee beef really only made up less than ¼ of the dish. The beef did taste like it was a little on the old side. Priced at $ 17.50, it was a poor choice and the service was haphazard. My table was not level and I did not think I was outwardly making a noticeable motions to that effect. Immediately 3 people were under the table tinkering, within a few minutes, my table could have withstood a Cat5.

I am having a mix vibe about this restaurant. First time after walking by this location many times, finally decided to go with a friend for Lunch during the weekend. As soon as we came into the store… waited a bit longer because 3 of the staff were busy packing to-go meals. When he saw us, he came over and seated us… Waited another 10 minutes to have someone to come over and take the order. Menu has a wide variety of dishes I didn’t know where to start off, but I ordered the Wonton with spicy oil sauce. I pointed the menu name at the lady # 1*, she looked at it(menu was in Chinese and English) and knew what I wanted it, but when the dish arrived it was a regular wonton soup??? I gave her the look and I told her I wanted WONTONHOTOIL Sauce. took her couple of seconds to realized and then she came back with the right dish. So after I tried them, the Wonton has Little meat, the Hot oil was not even HOT at all. Then I was craving for fried stuff, so I ordered a Boneless Spare ribs Salt and Pepper Entrée, The Fried batter was no different than the Sweet and sour Chicken dish from fast food restaurants, not worth the $$ and it was too oily. My Friend ordered the Dan Dan noodle(which consist in Noodles with sauce, minced pork and hot oil) Noodles were too watery and sauce was not thick enough to hold the noodle. And it was not HOT at all. Then My friend wanted order something to go for her Plus one. Took us another 2 – 3 minutes to find a staff to pay attention to US. Lady # 2* came over, standing with her arms crossed and B*tchy attitude. She ordered 2 dishes, Lady # 2 went to get the menu to make sure we are ordering the right one, SLAPS the MENU and FLAPSAROUNDWITHATTITUDE and POINTEDAT it to make sure is right. Didn’t have a good comfortable friendly vibe. At the end we asked for the bill, Paid by CC(They take VISA, MC and DIscover). The Guy(Owner I think) Came over and took the bill, came back a minute later and handed me and Thanked us. I Would come back to try couple of more dishes(The fish with hot oil sauce and Mapo Tofu to see how Good this is), but if the SERVICECONTINUES to be like this, I rather go somewhere else and be treated well and try to enjoy the meal instead. ______________________________________________________________ Lady # 1* — I think she is the owner, doesn’t speak much English and has that loud Heel walk. Lady # 2* — I think she is the daughter of the Owner, because if she was a Staff I would SL*P her for showing a bad attitude while swinging her hair around and with a B*tchy attitude.
