Description

You’re bound to get Spicy Face (flushed cheeks, tingling mouth, sweaty temples) after dining at this Sichuan restaurant in the East Village. For the best action, order the Chengdu-style hot pot. Reserve ahead, because only a few tables accommodate this do-it-yourself dining experience. If sticking to the regular menu, heed the suggested specials, marked with a pink dot, or opt for any of the "spicy and aromatic dishes," which are amped up with chiles and peppercorns. Top picks include the hot-and-sour sweet-potato noodles, spicy Sichuan dumplings, any of the dishes “in spicy broth,? and the dry-fried mei shan beef. But do take a pass on the American-Chinese entrées (General Tso's chicken, etc.).

Hot Kitchen is a Hot Pot Hot Spot

By Lauren Shockey | Wed, November 23, 2011

Midway through our meal at Hot Kitchen, my friends and I looked at each other and grinned. Our cheeks flushed a rosy pink as our eyes began to smart. Beads of perspiration formed at our temples, matting hair to scalps. "Yep," I said. "We officiall... More »
