Sichuan Garden
Another Maxim's restaurant, the Sichuan Garden is a brightly lit, informal eatery in the basement of the Pacific Place mall, right next to Peking Garden. What it lacks in decor, it makes up for with excellent food at reasonable prices. It's quite popular and almost always crowded, especially at lunch. The hot-and-spicy dishes are clearly marked on the 80-item menu to help the uninitiated, though those who love fiery food will find that dishes here are only mildly hot. Recommended are the hot-and-sour soup, fried prawns in chile sauce, shredded pork in hot garlic sauce, bean curd with minced beef in a pungent sauce, smoked duck, and pigeon smoked in camphor wood and tea leaves. I ordered the pigeon and found it quite good, but I was not prepared to have the head brought out as well.
