Zhu Ting Ji 竹亭记 focuses on a broad Chinese menu with a strong Sichuan current.

The Taylorsville dining room rewards group ordering, since its range becomes clearer across several shared plates.

BEIJING 川味居 Chinese Restaurant brings Sichuan cooking to a modest Sugar House storefront. Mapo tofu carries chile heat and fermented depth, while the wider menu offers vegetables, meats and noodles that hold up well to sharing. The room is straightforward and the portions generous, keeping attention on seasoning rather than presentation.

Chinese Taste balances familiar Chinese American standards with a separate vein of regional dishes. Spicy boiled fish shows the kitchen's command of chile, aromatics and tender texture, while the larger menu makes room for diners seeking gentler flavors. The State Street location is practical for groups that want both adventurous plates and dependable comfort.

Mom's Kitchen centers Taiwanese home style cooking in a compact State Street room. Three cup chicken brings soy, sesame and basil together, while smaller xiaochi plates allow a meal to unfold across dumplings, vegetables and braises.
