Szechuan in Dallas

Part of the new guard of Sichuan restaurants in Plano, Tasty House offers specialties that are a little outside the norm, including “rice crust,” a sizzling hot rice cake doused in stir fried beef and wood ear mushroom sauce. If you’re not quite courageous enough to order the sizzling pig brains, excellent cumin chicken is a good choice, as are the gently fried string beans, twice-cooked fish and street-style skewers of grilled fish and vegetables.
