Spicy Sichuan
????Bellaire Blvd
I have question marks on the address because I don't know what it is. It's located in the same shopping complex as Sinh Sinh, on the corner of one of the buildings.
The first special on the list is crispy Sichuan chicken (or some name like that). It's basically bite-sized pieces of chicken wok-fried on high heat with sichuan peppers and dry red peppers. At Sichuan Cuisine, just down the road on Bellaire, this dish made my lips go numb. At this place, it made my tastebuds dance. Amazing...
We also tried the whole tilapia in a thick brown sauce. It wasn't so good. The fish tasted sort of microwaved--some parts were chewy and overcooked, while others were a bit underdone.
The thing that really made this restaurant work were the cold appetizers. You go to the back food bar and point to the things you want. You can have up to three items for $6. We had the bamboo shoots in hot oil, beef jerky, and bean curds. The bean curds tasted fresh and slightly sweet. The bamboo shoots just tasted amazing. The beef jerky isn't something I would get as an appetizer--it's better as a snack.

Jenny, The restaurant in this post is different than the one in the chowhound post you referenced. I think this one, Sichuan Cafe (?) in the same complex as Sinh Sinh is better than Sichuan Cuisine that sits further East on Bellaire.

Owner used to own restaurant by Gessner. The Sukku tofu with fried fish are hella good.
