    Small mom & pop establishment that puts out delicious Szechuan home cooked dishes. Our go-to dishes include eggplant and chicken in garlic sauce, bamboo shoots & pork, dan dan noodles, dumplings in hot oil etc. This restaurant hs been in the same location on College Point Blvd for many years. The prices are reasonable however the food sometimes takes a long time. It's literally a 2 person operation. Mom serves the food upfront and pops cooks in the kitchen. I highly recommend Little Pepper if you like spicy szechuan! Street parking is available. The neighborhood looks sketchy but is OK during the day.

    My daughter and I were headed to the nearby airport to pick up the rest of the family and we wanted something good to eat on the way. Found Little Pepper and knew it was the answer. Much easier to access than the Flushing spots but it absolutely stands up to them. Seating is comfortable and the restaurant is quiet enough for a conversation. Certainly seemed to be a family operation. Very nice woman working the front of house and a gentleman preparing all of the dishes. It felt like dining at someone's house, they served a table at a time. If you were late to a nearby theater, this may not be the choice for you. If you're patient and looking to eat an authentic meal, this is the place! At the tail end of a hard eating weekend, we didn't want to order too much. We checked out the menu while enjoying a complimentary pot of tasty tea. (Hint of oolong) We ordered silken tofu with scallion sauce, cumin lamb, sesame chicken, and pork fried rice. Menu had at least 30 items I would like to try. Silken tofu and cumin lamb packed flavor and a solid spice level. Probably not their spiciest dishes but they delivered. Lamb was tender and the tofu was in fact "silken". My daughter's sesame chicken was a high end example of a basic dish. The pork fried rice delivered quality ingredients made in a non salty/greasy way. Excellent dinner!

    Sweet couple running the spot. Husband I assume cooks and wife takes orders. My friend and I enjoyed the food. The commute here is brutal. But nice spot. There was no one there when we went. Super quiet and chill spot.
