"If you want more of a casual neighborhood night with Sichuan food in Williamsburg, head to Birds of a Feather. The bright, roomy space looks like a store that would sell yoga mats, with some big windows up front and a communal table in the middle. It’s probably the least spicy Sichuan spot on this list—even the dishes labeled with three peppers tend to be relatively mild—but they make up for it with some stellar pickled dishes and dim sum. If you have a spicy-weary friend who wants to try Sichuan for the first time, this is the spot to take them. " - neha talreja, hannah albertine, diana kuan
