If I can only eat at 1 restaurant for the rest of my life, this will be it.
It's so rare that San Diego has a restaurant that can match the quality of its counterparts in other large cities, but I've tried many Szechuan restaurants all over California, and I think Ba Ren makes as good or better food than all of them.
Restaurant Review LinksListed below are links to reviews of Ba Ren from around the web.
"We ordered most of the dishes discussed on Kirk's blog in this post and a few of the cold appetizers. We ordered our food for takeout, and took it to our friends' house nearby...."
"We decided to take no chances and go with solid a recommendation from knowledgeable bloggers like Kirk the main man at mmm-yoso! We arrived before the sunset and parked in the rear of the place...."
"Our next dish to arrive was the crispy rice crust with prawns. While I had an idea of what this dish was, I didn't realize that it's basically an entree version of Sizzling rice soup (sometimes found in Chinese restaurants)...."
"As with all the fish dishes we've encountered at Ba Ren, the filets were soft, moist, and tender...."
"The third item on the placard was a revelation, and by far the best of the items we had. It was a slight riff on the Beijing style Sweet Corn with Pine Nuts..."
" The dish wasn't just blasting hot, but also had a nice mildly sweet, soy based sauce. As a matter of fact, I really enjoyed the bean thread lying in wait, drenching up the the sauce (along with the heat from the chilies), on the bottom of the dish...."
"Recently, we had a "meeting of appetites" at Ba Ren, with Ed from Yuma, mizducky who posts on Egullet, and the wonderful Gayla, who wrote up our Chowhound Feast at Ba Ren. I didn't even bring my camera; though I can tell you we had Ed's favorite..."
"The little chicken pieces were nice & crunchy, which made the whole experience seem like eating spicy pop rocks. the fish also had a bit of a kick, so the duck was definitely the palate ..."
"The flavors were just as complex and great as it smelled. Though after half way through I could feel these said peppercorns kick in where my mouth was simultaneously numb and on fire...."
"Appetizers range from pickled ginger cucumber to thinly sliced marinated pig’s ear. Among our favorites are the Dried Beef with Sichuan Peppercorn, strips of chewy, spicy beef studded with finely chopped peppers...."
"We put the ordering in Kirk K's hands, pretty much. His wife preordered some food for us, and then we got a few other things that were some of the "greatest hits of Ba Ren"...."
