Sichuan cooking brought numbing heat and chili oil to a New York Chinese scene long dominated by Cantonese food. Hwa Yuan Szechuan in Chinatown revived a historic name on East Broadway, while Han Dynasty in the East Village made dan dan noodles and dry-pot dishes familiar downtown. Both helped push the cuisine's bolder flavors into the city's mainstream.
