postAmazing chili oil13 pts
“Potluck Club has the best chili oil I’ve ever had in the states. It’s not really mala, mildly/medium spicy, with the most amazing savory taste and slightly sweet.”

“Definitely the salt and pepper chicken and oyster mushroom rice rolls. I love the jellyfish salad but you have to like a chewy texture. I thought the spicy eggplant was only okay (and not that spicy).”

replying to u/codedapple: Have you tried Phoenix Palace or other “elevated” chinese cuisine? What did you think of them?
“A bit overrated. They basically serve overpriced/small portion Cantonese food that’s supposed to be elevated. I would have liked it more if everything wasn’t over seasoned so much. We had to send two dishes back. Menu is small and the food is mid for the price.”

“I’m throwing out potluck club Szechuan fried chicken it’s insanely good. And I also like almost everything else on their menu so that makes it a pretty great place to have not just fried chicken but a really cool sitdown restaurant with cool atmosphere and good energy.”

replying to u/DinerEnBlanc: Caravan - Uyghur Cantonese - Potluck Club (Yeah I know you mentioned HK, but idc, you should go to Potluck) Tibetan - Lhasa *honorable mention* - Octo for a Korean take on Chinese food.
“Potluck club is overrated af. It’s a hip place but the food is not that good. Their best dish is a stir fried rice roll. Everything salty af from the fried chicken to the short ribs and portions are tiny. Their walnut shrimp is worse than any Cantonese place I’ve had it.”
