At Birds of a Feather in Williamsburg, indulge in modern Sichuan favorites like mapo tofu and dumplings in a bright, casual setting perfect for groups.
"Birds Of A Feather in Williamsburg recently added lunch delivery from 12pm-4pm, in addition to dinner takeout service. You can place your order for things like wontons, okra with Sichuan pepper, and mapo tofu." - hannah albertine
"Birds of a Feather is a Sichuan spot in Williamsburg from the same people behind Cafe China, and it’s where you should get some fried eggplant and Chungking chicken later. Head to their website for pick-up or delivery." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine
"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
"The updated and slightly upscale Sichuan restaurant came as a surprise when it opened three years ago in Williamsburg, but it really hits the mark with dishes like ma po tofu, three pepper chicken, and sauteed duck with ginger, the latter served with steamed bao. The dim sum selection is particularly robust, much representing parts of China other than Sichuan. Order online." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff
"Birds of a Feather is still our go-to for top-notch Sichuan food in Williamsburg, even with newer arrivals serving food from the province. A long communal table at the heart of the restaurant is part of the draw. The menu offers modern inventions — pork and okra “mini rolls,” fried eggplant accordions — as well as more traditional dishes. The stylish restaurant comes from the team behind Cafe China, a Midtown restaurant that held a Michelin star from 2012 to 2019." - Luke Fortney, Eater Staff
