Parking

New Sichuan has a small parking lot to park in.  The entrance is a little small and there isn’t much signage for the restaurant.  It is easy to miss.

Is This A Date Night Place

This restaurant would be a fun date night place to try something new!  Or if you wanted to impress your date with your “best-kept secrets in Winston Salem” knowledge!

Special Covid Instructions

They are currently using lots of plastic silverware and plates.  We were not sure if this was due to Covid issues or just the usual.  The restaurant was VERY clean and the tables were spaced out to allow for social distancing.

Portions

The portion sizes are totally manageable.  They aren’t giving you so much food that you couldn’t possibly eat it all.

What We Ordered and What We Thought

Sarah Ordered the Crispy Garlic Chicken.  IT WAS DELICIOUS!! It was one of the best meals that I have had doing Dorks with Sporks!

Wendi ordered the DanDan Noodles and thought they were equally delicious!  They were spicy and wonderful!

Sarah and Wendi shared the Sichuan Wontons.  These were pork wontons that were steamed and had red chili oil drizzled on top.  They were also delicious!  Sarah said she thought they were better than Dumpling Lady in Charlotte!
