Pecking House in Chinatown is known for its Sichuan chili fried chicken, with a particular highlight being their chili sandwich. The chicken in the sandwich is described as crispy, juicy, spicy, and slightly numbing, generously doused in chili oil, with two slices of white bread on the bottom to soak it up. They also offer salted egg chicken wings, which were considered good but not exceptionally memorable. A 'spice bag' containing fried chicken and fries was tried for the first time but was disappointing due to a lack of seasoning and spice. The accompanying curry sauce was also not well-received, described as tasting like pre-made blocks. Due to limited seating, takeout is recommended.
