Sze Chuan Cuisine runs real Szechuan food in Chinatown: chongqing chicken and mala fish fillet are the two most-praised dishes, and the hot pot menu lets a table mix up to three broths in one pot.
Anthony Bourdain ate here with chef Stephanie Izard during Parts Unknown's 2016 Chicago episode, working through pork dumplings in chili oil, mapo doufu, and a fish hot pot — real dishes off the actual menu, not a chef's-table tasting built for the cameras.
