Yellow Door offers a slightly more muted version of the cheek-numbing pepper dishes that to me represent typical Sichuan dishes. The food isn't oily or heavy. We had fish in chili oil, stir fried bamboo shoots and eels with dry chili peppers. The fish in chili oil was done very well; the fish fillets were cooked to perfection, tender and juicy and not too spicy, while the chili oil wasn't too oily at all, more laced with flavorful sauces than the transparent red chili oil that is sometimes us
The dishes came very fast and were presented beautifully. The portions are comparatively small and perfect for lunch. There are a limited number of tables with generous space between them, so that you can have pretty good private conversations. The window of the restaurant looks out into Soho outside while isolating you from the street noise, making the restaurant feels like an oasis in the middle of a busy market, and the decor in the restaurant has a artsy, casual, warm kind of feel. Good for small group lunches and dinners.
We had a reservation--called an hour ahead of time for a 1pm lunch spot--so didn't have to wait. Service was discreet and efficient, and the friendly wait staff spoke perfect English. The dishes came within 10-15 minutes of ordering.
