Lao Sze Chuan (Chinatown)

Introducing the kids to ethnic cuisines can be a little daunting, and this Chinatown Szechuan mecca is no exception. It uses plenty of Szechuan pepper, dried chilies, garlic and ginger to create flavors that are incredibly addictive for adults but often “icky” for kids. But have no fear, there is something here for even the pickiest eater. While you chow down on crispy Chinese eggplant with ground pork, “chef’s special” dry chili string beans and chicken, and Szechuan prawns, the kids can enjoy more accessible options like Mongolian beef, pot stickers, and wonton soup. Trust us, you won’t be disappointed.
