Continuing the tradition of private kitchens in Hong Kong and the spicy Szechuan cuisine is Yellow Door Kitchen.  Yellow Door Kitchen is not an actual restaurant, but a home transformed into one.  You’ll get a warm, personal, and cozy feeling from its interiors.  And as with most private kitchens, you have to familiarize yourself with the SoHo area to be able to find the place.  But once you do, you’ll be in for a memorable dining experience.

That warmth instantly transforms into “hot” once the food arrives.  As expected from Szechuan cuisine, it is spicy, spicy, spicy.  And it’s spicy not in a bland and lip-burning fashion, but spicy in a way that you can’t help yourself but get some more (in spite of the burning sensation in your mouth and throat).  This is how Yellow Door Kitchen has gained prominence, through its tasty rendition of Szechuan cuisine.  The restaurant has gained positive reviews not just from customers, but also from reporters from Hong Kong and Chinese publications.  They consider Yellow Door Kitchen as a welcome alternative to the expensive restaurants in Hong Kong that offer the same menu.

Some of the tasty offerings on its menu are the deep-fried eel with sweet and sour sauce, Shanghai chop-suey, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and recommended Shanghai braised stuffed duck.  If you’re looking for something hot, you can order the seafood soup.  For snacks and dessert, you have the classic Dim Sum and dumplings with red sauce.  One of the must try is the Szechuan “Dan dan” noodle.

Yellow Door Kitchen is famous so you need to make reservations before going there.  The price is fair, and you certainly will get your money’s worth.  You can also make party plans in this place; just make your reservations beforehand.
