while they visited my friends last year, they mentioned chef zhang was a new Szechuan restaurant that had just opened near them. they wanted to make me try, because they knew I would appreciate it. as a native in ny’s flushing (chinatown), however, I was a bit skeptical how good and authentic it would taste because I was already really good and authentic Chinese foods at home. we ordered a mix of appetizers and main dishes to get a full experience. as soon as the dishes came out (very fast, I must add), the aroma that it emits, signaled to my taste bud that we were for a tasty! every single dish surpassed my expectations and I was pleasantly surprised! if I was blind and did not remind me that I had been driving two hours to visit my friends (lol), I would not be able to tell the difference between eating home or from this wonderful restaurant. the service was great and all staff members were very quick to help and did not travel to us although it was close to the closing time. some of my favourite dishes were the XO frying and the aubergine with garlic sauce. we have ordered quite a lot from any protein category and no one had disappointed. hungry, but can't decide at a place? let me save them the effort and make the decision for them before the iron strikes. we see each other in the chef zhangs! even if they are not a spicy food type of person, there are still many delicious (non-spicy) options to satisfy their palate!
