Chuan Tian Xia

So we came with 7 friends to have a nice dinner. First time trying out this cuisine and it did not leave us disappointed. They focus on spicy dishes such as Mapo tofu but the non spicy ones are very excellent as well, like the black pepper steak. All the protein was nice and tender and quite exquisite.

Chuan Tian Xia has a really pleasant atmosphere, which definitely makes for an enjoyable dining experience! The service was also pretty solid – attentive and friendly. The food, though, was a bit of a mixed bag; it was good, but honestly, it didn't quite blow me away. Overall, it's a decent spot, especially if you're looking for a nice ambiance and good service!

All the dishes were very tasty. My favorite was the green pepper fish fillet soup. It comes in a giant bowl and infused with green sichuan peppercorn leaving your mouth in a numbing sensation. Other favorite dishes include the spongy gourd (a great nonspicy veggie), black fungus appetizer, cauliflower, and mapo tofu. The only call out is that the food came out so quickly after we ordered — basically all came out within 5 minutes, so the food was probs my all precooked and they just microwaved them. But overall still tasty and would recommend

Delicious food! Big portion. The menu has so many dishes to pick from. If you can’t handle the spice, you can always ask for mild option. The service is also great and attentive.

I frequently travel between Sichuan and New York and I know well acquainted with the authentic flavors of Sichuan cuisine – bold, aromatic, and spicy. However, the dining experience here falls short in terms of flavor authenticity and overall satisfaction. There is significant room for improvement in taste, and I hope the management will prioritize enhancing the quality and flavor of the dishes. 不好吃，不浪费时间，换另一个

Excellent dishes and fast service. Our first waitress was super sweet and attentive. Unfortunately when her shift ended, the next one was a bit surly and clearly wanted us to hurry up and finish so she can turn the table over. We had ordered a pot of tea and asked for more hot water in the teapot once we finished, just so we can have one more cup each and she was clearly very annoyed. Other than that one waitress, the experience was great and would go back again.

Was quite disappointed with the taste of the food especially since the interior and exterior made it look decent. Went with a group of 5 and ordered the Pork with Garlic Sauce, Chengdu Noodle, Potato Floss, Chengdu Wontons (they don’t have dumplings anymore is what they said), Pineapple Fried Rice, Hibachi Japanese Tofu and the Chongqing Sour Fish I believe. Most of the dishes simply had the spicy oil, which had no taste. The Pork with Garlic Sauce, Potato Floss, Chengdu Wontons and Pineapple Fried Rice all tasted just mediocre, nothing too special that stood out, but didn’t taste terrible either. The Pineapple Fried Rice would’ve tasted better if there was more flavor, but it was too bland. I do not recommend the Chengdu Noodle because it’s not really noodles but some jello-like thing with no taste since it just had spicy oil. The Chongqing Sour Fish was simply fish (with some bones, not completely fillet style) with the preserved vegetable type of base. That was alright and had a big portion, but it just depends on your preferences. The only dish that I did really like was the Hibachi Japanese Tofu as the sauce and egg tofu mixed well together. While the service was not bad, I was not particularly fond that they kept asking if we were ready to order every three minutes or so when it was evident we were still perusing the menu. The place also was not that big so we could have easily asked for a waiter/waitress to come over when we were ready. It was not near their closing time either so I was unsure why they kept questioning whether we were ready. Other than that, no major issues with the service since they were still pretty kind in informing us which dishes could be made non-spicy or less spicy as some of my friends could not take spice that well.
