FuLoon Beverly

I was in the mood for some authentic Sichuan cuisine for lunch today, so I headed out to FuLoon in Beverly since they are one of the best Sichuan restaurants around. I have been here previously and enjoyed a number of dishes.

FuLoon is located on Cabot street with metered parking, but they have a private lot behind the restaurant.

The front desk is gorgeous.

The inside is very attractive with good quality furniture. You get linen napkins, but silverware is the default eating utensils.

I started with the Bang Bang Chicken ($6.95). "Shredded Steamed Chicken with Scallion Spicy Sauce". This dish got its name from when they used the older chicken, and the chef was hammering it to tenderize the chicken and also shredding it. This is a very tasty dish with a little bit of heat.

Next was the Hot Diced Chicken Szechuan Style ($13.95). This is a very common dish in Sichuan restaurants under different names. The dark meat chicken was fried nicely and was tender and juicy. However, it lacked heat. It was marked as three peppers on the menu, but come out barely one pepper hot. The chili peppers were hot, but the seeds lacked heat. I also ordered a small white rice ($1) and asked if I could get the egg fried rice that they serve with the lunch menu. No problem.
Should you tip when the owner takes your order, deliver the food and fills up your water glass? In this case, only the owner was working. I did tip normally.
