Szechwan Kitchen (7th Ave/Indian School-ish) - Any interest?

[chowhokam]

After driving past this place a few times, I decided to check out their menu. To my surprise, I found that they serve actual Sichuan dishes, and so I gave it shot a couple of weeks ago. I was pretty happy with what I got (West Lake soup, dumplings in "spicy sauce", fried green beans with pork, water-boiled fish) and would like to explore more of the menu, particularly the Sichuan specialties. Given that a mere 4 dishes (clocking in at $50 total) yielded enough food for something like 5 meals, further exploration will require reinforcements.

I would like to go back with a group for lunch on an upcoming Thursday (Feb 15 or 22) or Friday (Feb 16 or 23), so I thought I'd check in to see if anyone here would be interested. If this sounds like something you'd like to do, let me know here which day(s) might fit best, and I'll coordinate.

EDIT: OK, at this point, Feb 22 looks like the winner. I'll be there a little before 11:30 to grab a table big enough for the final group.

Who's in so far?

Somebody organizing a lunch other than me?!? You bet your ass I’m interested!

I could definitely do either the 22nd or 23rd.

[Nightbloom]

I can do the 22nd!

I’ll try to write it up this weekend, but, uh… don’t rush

Yeah, a couple of hits/"OK"s, but mostly misses, a couple of which were bizarrely off-target. I wondered if (a) I had somehow ordered exactly the right things on my first visit or (b) the the Sichuan cook had already moved on between then and when the group met up.

I feel somewhat obligated to go back and order my first meal again just to see, but oof, hard to get motivated...
