Sichuan Garden is a great place for authentic chinese food without having to head into Chinatown. Lots of heat but they will accommodate if you want milder versions. Some of my favorites are Spicy pork with cellophane noodles, the eggplant in garlic sauce, and the chengdu dry hot chicken.
Pros: Authentically Spicy chinese dishes, vegetarian options
Cons: Ambience is lacking
