Mala Sichuan Bistro
Sichuan Chinese
The original Bellaire location of this expanding Sichuan chain opens a measured hand with chili oil, letting numbing heat and tangy bitterness define dishes rather than drown them. Kung pao arrives balanced and restrained, pork belly glistens beside broccoli, and the sweet-and-sour lotus root tastes genuinely considered. Portions arrive generous enough to require planning.
