Sichuan Cuisine in the Annandale Area
Annandale is best known for its Korean restaurant corridor along Little River Turnpike. For Sichuan Chinese food specifically — the ma la (numbing-spicy) tradition from Chengdu — Hong Kong Palace in Falls Church is the nearest dedicated specialist.
The kitchen at Hong Kong Palace uses authentic ingredients that most Chinese restaurants in Northern Virginia do not stock: Sichuan peppercorn (the source of the numbing ma effect) and doubanjiang (fermented chili bean paste from Pixian, Sichuan). These two ingredients define the authentic flavor of Mapo Tofu, Dan Dan Noodles, and Kung Pao Chicken as they are cooked in Chengdu.
Tyler Cowen, the economist and food writer whose Ethnic Dining Guide is considered one of the most reliable sources for authentic regional restaurants in Northern Virginia, called Hong Kong Palace “probably the best Chinese place around.”
