Petals of a Peony
Sichuan
Strip-mall Sichuan in a Cordova shopping center, which tells you nothing until the mapo tofu arrives and your tongue goes briefly numb. Petals of a Peony is a casual Chinese restaurant that built its reputation on the kind of chili heat that requires planning ahead. The portions run large, so a group and a willingness to order past the point of reason are your best tools here. The Michelin Guide has it on their list, which tracks.
