Concierge.com's insider take:
The word "Szechuan" may appear frequently on restaurants' facades, but rarely do these places serve anything resembling the exquisite food of China's Sichuan Province. Yet the cuisine's complex flavors and textures (along with mouth-numbing heat) are on display at this location of Grand Sichuan, the best of several branches scattered throughout Manhattan (this one's in Hell's Kitchen). Skip the obviously Americanized offerings, as well as any other dish that whiffs of your typical Cantonese or Shanghainese restaurant, and head straight for strips of double-cooked pork sautéed with salty bean paste; sweet, fiery Gui Zhou chicken; and the bizarre and wonderful sour string beans with minced pork, a play on spicy and tangy that will redefine your notion of what Chinese food can be.
