The dining experience at this cozy restaurant has been compared to eating in someone’s kitchen. Flower Pepper is said to serve some of the best Sichuan food in the States. Dishes include spicy dan dan noodles, pork belly stew over rice, and soup dumplings, as well as more unusual options such as Tiger Food – a zingy combination of shredded cucumber, jalapeño and cilantro – and tofu stewed in a spicy, umami-rich broth.
