Little Szechuan has a few locations around town. The one is St. Paul is a hot pot place which is something I did not know about till last year and then went with some friends and had a great time.

The location in Dinkytown has some great vegan options and they are so good. The service is fast, polite and they really get people in and out. Though I usually end up staying longer than regular people when I go out somewhere because I tend to talk a lot. I love Lotus Root and Spicy Szechuan fries. The other two dishes I've had there are the Spicy Szechuan Tofu which is very good, the texture is perfect and the Dried Diced Tofu with peanuts. The Diced Tofu was a new to me dish and it's a simple mixture of scallions, soy sauce, chili oil, tofu and peanuts. It's a cold dish and I enjoyed it a great deal more than I thought I would. The tofu has the consistency of what I remember of Gouda cheese. I especially liked the crunchiness with the peanuts. A random surprise to myself. Just down the block, if you can spare room, is the Kitty Corner Cafe. A tiny little place with the most fantastic vegan Belgian waffles. The day I went to both places I was so stuffed it's the only time I ate that day.
