好味坊 Haoweifang (SiChuan Alley)

The food was really good! I highly recommend the chili wontons, mapo tofu, and the special stir fry noodles. Everything feels very well made, very flavorful, and delicious! The beef/ox dish was also great, it was very different than anything I've had before.

On the first day of our Lunar New Year holiday, we visited Sichuan Alley, a small and unassuming restaurant in Orlando. The decor is simple yet cozy, creating a warm, home-like atmosphere. They specialize in Jiangxi-style home-cooked dishes. The Garlic Shrimp had a rich, flavorful sauce that paired perfectly with rice. The Crispy Pork Cracklings Stir-Fried with Radish were incredibly tasty and addictive. The Braised Beancurd Sticks were smooth and light. The Pork Knuckle Casserole was tender, full of collagen, and packed with deep, savory flavors. The Spicy Chicken Cartilage had an amazing texture and bold taste. The stir-fried rice noodles were bursting with wok hei, making them an absolute must-order! The Sliced Fish with Pickled Cabbage (Sea Bass) had the perfect balance of sour and spicy, and the fish was exceptionally fresh. We truly enjoyed this meal! The Bo Ya Jue Xian Jasmine Milk Tea was also delightful, with a strong and aromatic tea flavor. The service was excellent, and we highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic flavors!

It's surprising that there are 2 Sichuan restaurants so close to each other. The food here was good but not amazing. The dandan noodles were better than some other places we've tried. We also really liked the shredded pork noodles, but they ran out of the osmanthus honey lotus root, which would have been impressive if executed well. Service was friendly and food came out in good time. Prices are reasonable. I'd come back to try the osmanthus honey lotus root.

Great food, good atmosphere, great service. The food can be a good spicy so if you have questions please ask. They have a fish soup that is very good, but is surprisingly spicy. I liked it a lot, but was pleasantly surprised by the spice level. We also had a very good grab and pork dish that is very good. All and all a good place to eat. Also for the unacquainted the authentic nature of the food means that there are sometimes bone in the food by design of the dish please be aware.

READ. By far one of the best authentic Chinese restaurants I’ve been to in the entire country. This place truly is a gem! I’m Chinese and have lived more than half my life out in Asia, and am a very picky/critical eater especially when it comes to Asian food. If you’re looking for Chinese food, this place serves the real deal - unlike many of those “Asian” restaurants out there that serve the same old “General Tso’s chicken” dish and have bad service - the food here is really good and there’s great service. I ordered the recommended signature dish - special rice noodle - and it was done just right. This is a fried noodle dish from Jiang Xi that is fried with sliced pork, Bak Choy and mushrooms. The beef cold dish, was bursting of Sichuan flavours whilst not being too spicy for me to handle. What I really like is how unlike other Asian restaurants, the food here is not too oily, not too salty, nor not too sweet, nor overly laden with MSG. From the moment I walked in, Tim the boss, attended to me and made sure that I was treated like a valued respected customer. He is humble, polite and just such a friendly guy. Knowing how hot the weather was, he even treated me to an ice cold drink on the house - though this is not the reason for the 5-star rating. This is my new favourite place in town to have Chinese food, and I certainly will be back often. --- UPDATE: Despite living 40 mins (each way) away, I now find myself coming here at least once a week. I have tried most of the dishes on the menu, and they are all really good. Because of that, I end-up over-ordering each time I come. This place is such a blessing to the local Asian community. Each time I come here to eat, my tummy leaves here fully satisfied, and Tim, the boss, treats his customers so well that I leave feeling like such a valued customer. The prices are really affordable too. Where these days can you get such good fried noodles for just $10.95? Do yourself a favour and rediscover proper Chinese food by coming here. Great food + great service + clean environment + great prices = happy tummy.

Authentic Chinese Food!! This place is immaculately clean, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. We ordered two noodle soups, and the fried pork liver. The portion sizes were generous, and was cooked to perfection. The prices were very reasonable. We will definitely be back.

I went here last weekend with my friends. I choose it because of the high ratings and i wanted to visit 'Orlando Chinatown'. Food: The food was delicious overall. I had the Dan Dan noodles and they had so many Sichuan peppercorns, it made my mouth tingly and water taste sweet. It was wild!. The Mapo Tofu was fine. My buddy got the fried duck. The thick, meaty parts were outstanding, but its real duck so some small bones were in it, so be careful. Service: The service was ok overall. We seated ourselves, and their was a little confusion over her come to us or we had to put the order in at the register (yes). They brought the food out quickly, and as available, so i was halfway done with my dish before one of friends got his. Atmosphere: Lots of local people here, all slurping away, so you know it's good. Overall it was a quite happiness.

It's a quiet, little hideaway place. Service is very good. Lo mein and fried rice is good, but portions are small compared to the prices. The seaweed is fat and chewy. Not very good. I'm not sure I'll try again. Prices are too high for me. Not a wide variety of choices on the menu.
