Reputedly one of San Diego's best Szechuan restaurants, Ba Ren is a great place if you're in the mood for spicy. On our last visit, we happened to be with a large sized group, and so we had the opportunity to sample several items on the menu. For appetizers, we had the Hot and Sour soup, and Szechuan cold noodles - the latter, rather unique in its flavors. Some of the entrees were really exceptional, including the Dry cooked lamb, and the Rice crust with sliced chicken (vaguely reminiscent of the original Indian Chinese food). The Hot pepper chicken is quite a sight - on this plate, you have higher odds of picking the red peppers than the popcorn style chicken. The twice cooked fish, boiled fish in spicy sauce, and the vinegar potatoes were very tasty as well. Located off of Clairemont mesa blvd, this restaurant has a nice authentic feel to it, and is one of the hidden gems of the San Diego food scene.
