Someone left a comment on my ‘Parcel’s or Mr. Moto” post that at $43 this is better value. While it’s certainly more visually appealing, there’s no crab, no toro, no scallop……it was quite good but there’s no world where it’s better value than the Moto box. Lots of filler too with the radish, carrot and cucumber. Also no wasabi or ginger. Would still order again.

This is insane value.

The 15 piece Nigiri Set for $57 is an okay value. This bowl at $57 felt like a complete rip off considering Chirashi bowls at other spots. The Kaisen bowl at Noz for the same price blows this away.

This is the chicken Kung Pao from China River midtown west. It is $20 and comes with rice. First time I got it a few weeks ago is the photo and it was quite good. Great sauce, good wokhei, spice level was perfect but another spot that doesn’t use Sichuan peppercorns. Then I got it again, this week, didn’t take a photo, but there was no sear on the chicken at all. It was odd. Also I got brown rice and it was cooked very oddly to the point where it was mush. I’m going to grade off the photo and give them a B but buyer beware.

This is the chicken Kung Pao from Best Sichuan in midtown west. It is $22 with rice and with tax and tip, delivered came to $33. I’ve had their kung Pao a few times and when it’s good it can be really good but I’ve also had it not great where it’s just too soupy. The sauce is just too much and because of that it gets a little soggy. Great use of chili pepper, ginger and garlic but no Sichuan peppercorn. This is good. It’s not at that elite tier though. But as I said when it’s good, it fucking hits. I’m going to give the best Sichuan a B-
