Sanku Maots'ai, a brand that claims 4,000 locations worldwide, is opening its first U.S. outpost at 167 First Ave. between Ninth Street and 10th Street. 

Signage arrived late last week... noting its path from Chengdu, the capital city of the Chinese province of Sichuan, to NYC...
The restaurant specializes in Maocai, a spicy Sichuan dish. Patrons customize their meals by choosing from various ingredients, including broth. 

You can find the menu and more info here. No word on an opening date. The brand has a new U.S. Instagram account here.

This is the first business for the address since Tatsu Ramen closed in the fall of 2021.
