Only Authentic Chinese in West Village
Ok, so the food here is not as good as outposts elsewhere in the city. However, for authentic szechuan cuisine this is the only bet in the west village. I really like the pork and cabbage soup, gui zhou chicken, chinese broccoli, and fried rice (light in color as it is supposed to be!). Szechuan peppers are yummy though somewhat tongue numbing. Delivery has always been fine for me - within 30 mins. Also, orders are arrive hot without any mistakes. My only gripe is the eggroll which is small and greasy and definitely not worth $2. They should really take it off the menu or reduce the price.

disappointing member of the GS family
I am a patient (= repeated customer), Sichuan-loving food-lover. Sadly, although I love both the St. Marks and Chelsea branches (where you can order "mala" and actually get an extra-spicy meal), this one just can't get it together. I live in the neighborhood so am stuck - it's still the best Sichuan in the WVill, but is always disappointing. For example, soup dumplings all burst, always.

Kung Bao = Kung Wow!
The Kung Bao chicken was amazing. Not your typical kung pao. It wasn't saucy. They add sweet potato which balances the heat. Also, they had szechuan peppercorns to give it an interesting bite. One of the best chinese dishes I've ever eaten!

no go
I loved the food on 24th st but after giving them way too many chances this one is awful. Food is spotty at best, service awful, workers rude, sorry Grand Sich strike 3

I'm a big GS fan!
Since GS opened just around the corner of my apartment, I and my boy friend go there at least twice a week. Where should we go tonight? We look at each other. GS! Let's be honest here. Where are the decent chinese places in West Village? Please let me know if you know any other places like GS around here. I understand that they make some mistakes here and there, but I still love their food so much, I can pass little bit of clumsiness. However, I agree with Chong Qing Spicy Chicken. It's kind of funny that they put so many hot peppers there. So we don't order that dish. Our favorite is Boneless Spare Ribs, any noodles, Gui Zhou Spicy Chicken, Beef With Cumin Flavor, Eggplant With Garlic Sauce, Scallion Pancake, Sauteed Cured Dry Bean Curd. We are eating GS today also.

Meh
This place is nothing to rave about. My co worker ordered from GS last week and she went on and on about how great it was. She's a pretentious "Pescatarian" so that right there should have tipped me off that this place was going to kind of suck. I gave the food a 2.0 because really that's all it deserves. I'm thoroughly unimpressed. this is NYC and it's hard to find BAD chineese. Well, I found it.
