Szechuan food (also spelled Sichuan or Szechwan) tends to feature heavy use of Sichuan peppers and garlic, resulting in strong, spicy food.

Like most Szechuan food, the dishes here can be quite spicy. However, you are able to customize your spice level, so if you have a milder palate, you can always opt for something a little more bland.

Fans of spicy food often must suffer through dishes where chefs focus more on adding heat than flavor. That’s not the case here - you’ll find a perfect balance of spiciness that still has an undercurrent of flavor.
