好味坊 Haoweifang (SiChuan Alley)

Well, the reviews are right. Delicious food. Will definitely come back to try more dishes. The tea smoked duck was different but really delicious. The special noodles were fairly simple but very tasty. Great dumplings. The only thing that was not that good that we tried was the pork knuckle soup with peanuts. Fairly plain. Wouldn’t order it again.

Absolutely amazing food! Every dish is made fresh with high-quality ingredients, and you can really taste the difference. The flavors are outstanding and the portions are generous. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. This has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants—highly recommended!

I no longer reside in Florida but whenever I visit friends in Orlando Haoweifang is a restaurant i never leave without eating at. Haoweifang is hands down the best Sichuan restaurant in Orlando/one of the best I’ve had in the states. I have yet to have a dish that is bad and only discover new dishes that are phenomenal. I highly recommend the Special Rice Noodle, Eggplant with Minced Meat, Mapo Tofu, and the Saute Beef Tripe it’s the perfect amount of food for a group of 4 and everything is delicious.

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!

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.

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.
