Wu Liang Ye 8.0
Midtown-Times Square
A long-running Midtown Sichuan standby known for straightforward, satisfying classics like dan dan noodles and smoked duck. The dining room is old-school and comfortable, ideal for a quiet meal off the tourist drag. Its years of steady traffic and mid-hundreds review volume support a strong reliability score.
