Summary: Spicy Sichuan in a chic venue.
Hupo is a gem in Long Island City, offering a small but mighty menu of Sichuan favorites in a chic, narrow venue with dark hardwood floors and high ceilings. The restaurant stands out in an area not known for Asian cuisine, serving up spicy delights like mapo tofu and Chungking chicken, complemented by house-made cold noodles. While the dishes pack a flavorful punch, they won't necessarily have spice aficionados breaking a sweat. Nonetheless, they offer a fiery complexity that's become a craving for many. Hupo also serves fruity house cocktails, adding to its trendy appeal and making it a go-to for those seeking both style and substance in their dining experience.
