"Café China serves some of the better Szechuan food in Midtown, and we consider it a requirement to come here with at least three other people. Take over one of the many tables or booths in a stylish dining room with checkered-floors and chandeliers, or upstairs on the mezzanine decorated with vintage posters. They also have a private room for parties of 15 or more. Portions are highly shareable, so ordering should be relatively easy. For groups, our go-tos are the platter of thick and tender cumin lamb, shrimp fried rice, and fatty short ribs with sweet soy sauce broth. " - Neha Talreja, Bryan Kim, Hannah Albertine
