Red Chili Restaurant, Syracuse NY

Absolutely authentic Sichuan food! And it’s even better than China Road.Red Chili Restaurant image from http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g47653-d5969798-Reviews-Red_Chili_Restaurant-East_Syracuse_Finger_Lakes_New_York.html

Most of the dishes are spicy, but even though they range from mild to hot-as-hell, they’re all really yummy and not just “hot”.

They also have a large variety of cooking styles, not just “stir fried in goopy sauce” I won’t pretend to know what all the dishes are, but the Dry Pot Beef was amazing, as was the ot-spicy-at-all Shrimp with Walnuts served with beautifully steamed broccoli.
