Savour Sichuan - New York

The menu listed on OpenTable does not match the one at the restaurant at all. We chose this place because we were craving Bento boxes, which were featured on the OpenTable menu. However, when we received the menu at the restaurant, we found that there were no Bento boxes and many of the appetizers we had seen online were missing too. We had already ordered our drinks by the time we discovered the menu discrepancies, so we ended up having to pay our bill and find another place to eat. It was quite frustrating.

The menu offers a wide selection of standard Chinese and Szechuan dishes. The food is consistently good, though not outstanding.

We have visited Savour Sichuan about six times now, and we're planning to return to try everything on the menu. Last week, I took a friend there for her birthday, but the food was only average, rating around a solid B-. The Dan noodles were quite bland and lacked flavor, and they were also very dry. The shumai was rubbery, and the pork dish was surprisingly tasteless for a Sichuan restaurant. On a positive note, the eggplant in garlic sauce was enjoyable. The tables are very close together, and the noise level can be quite high. I'm hoping our experience was just a one-off and that our next visit will be better.

If they like authentic, spicy Schezuan dishes, that is. the person she checked us when booking. my calls to the manager to correct this problem went unanswered.

Very tasty. Dim Sum was very good as were the main courses. Portions were perfect. Friendly service. Noise level was fine. I'd go back.
