Birds of a Feather

Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY 📍 Maps

This is a sleek, design-forward Sichuan spot where the kitchen balances traditional, tongue-numbing heat with modern, shareable plates. The space was designed by co-owner Yiming Wang to feel timeless and personal, featuring long communal wooden tables, exposed brick, and custom-designed light fixtures that look like upturned bouquets of golden daffodils. It is the perfect room for a group dinner where you can crowd the table with a dozen small plates and let the dishes arrive one by one.

★ The Legend
Spicy Fish Fillet
This dish features incredibly tender, battered and fried fillets of sole submerged in a vibrant, fiery broth loaded with dried red peppers, garlic, and fresh cilantro. Regulars know to spoon the intensely aromatic, numbing broth over bowls of white rice to soak up every drop of the Sichuan peppercorn heat.
◆ Fan Favorite
Mung Bean Noodles Northern Style
These slippery, translucent cold jelly noodles are served submerged in a pool of garlic and roasted peppercorn chili oil. The dish is topped with finely ground black peppercorns that are roasted in-house to impart a distinct, smoky crunch that cuts through the silky texture.
◇ Hidden Gem
Eggplant with Chili
Most first-timers bypass this cold appetizer in favor of the hot entrees, but regulars know it is one of the most complex plates on the menu. The eggplant is roasted until completely creamy, then dressed in a savory, slightly sweet mixture of charred green chilies, soy sauce, sesame oil, and raw garlic.
Insider Tip

Order your dishes to come out gradually rather than all at once so you can appreciate the distinct spice profiles and temperature contrasts of each plate. Be sure to request a side of their house-made chili oil to drizzle over the milder dim sum options.
