About this spot
Mountain House East Village delivers legitimate Sichuan heat with mapo tofu that actually numbs your tongue and twice-cooked pork with proper wok hei. The kitchen doesn't tone down the mala spicing for Western palates, creating dishes with the authentic numbing-spicy sensation that defines real Sichuan cooking. Their dan dan noodles have the perfect balance of sesame, chili oil, and Sichuan peppercorns.
