Named for the famed Sichuan spice sprinkled liberally through its extensive menu, Peppercorns Kitchen is a modern, chef-driven Chinese restaurant located in the heart of Evanston’s bustling downtown. Yes, you’ll find many standard favorites, like Orange Chicken and Mongolian Beef, but you’ll also discover inventive regional delights such as Xinjiang-Style Sautéed Lamb, Dungeness Crab with Salted Yolk & Crispy Rice, and Leaf Mustard & Millet Soup served in a stone pot. The setting is contemporary and has already gathered a following of NU students and faculty, giving nearby Joy Yee’s a run for its money. Yet another Evanston restaurant to add to the mix!
