Grand Sichuan - Times Square Version

At a dinner for 6 the other night, we were all pretty disappointed.

Nothing as good as at the late, lamented 9th avenue location, uptown version. Respectable dan dan noodles, wan dumplings, dumbing down of the spicy (it is Times Square, after all) and an over-reliance on sweet and cornstarch really turned me off.

Becco, practically across the street, would be a much better choice.

BTW, someone from Chowhound reports that the former manager of the old Hell's Kitchen branch of Grand Sichuan (9th Ave and 50th) has moved on from the St Marks location of Grand Sichuan to open up his own spot, Great Sichuan (with a very similar menu) on 3rd and 27th. It's very possible that he hired the old HK GS chefs as well.

If I'm in Times Square, I'd rather go to Szechuan Gourmet in any case. Have you tried Lan Sheng?
