Mountain House Rowland Heights 川山甲

This place has been around for a few years, but to me it’s still one of the most stunning Sichuan restaurants in LA. The wooden eaves, stone lanterns, running water, bamboo curtains, koi, and warm lighting all come together to create a soft and elegant Eastern atmosphere. Whenever I want to take family or friends somewhere pretty for Sichuan food, this is always the choice. It’s a more established restaurant, and their service has always been reliable, especially when dining with elders, which feels very reassuring. I ordered the peppercorn beef, tofu with duck blood and pork brain, pork trotter soup, spicy rabbit, chilled pork belly slices, spicy fried chicken, and osmanthus ice jelly. A few dishes really stood out to me. Their green Sichuan pepper series is excellent, and the spicy duck blood pot is also great if you enjoy layered flavors. The rabbit here is marinated with pickled chiles, which removes any gamey taste. The chilled pork belly is a classic dish and the dipping sauce is incredibly good. The ice jelly is the perfect pretty little dessert after a spicy meal. Overall, it’s a place that feels presentable for hosting guests and the service is genuinely thoughtful. They bring hot tea as soon as you sit down and pour it for you. It feels rare now, when most places just drop off a jug of water and walk away. Before taking your order, they check your spice tolerance, and throughout the meal they often come by to switch out plates or check in. That subtle sense of care is so heartwarming. There are many reviews online, but you really need to visit once to understand why people love it.

Beautiful ambience! Like walking into ancient China… booked online with OpenTable mentioned that we are celebrating a birthday but management didn’t respond. They sang to 3 tables while we were there but they forgotten us.. so is management‘a mistake but the server were fine.. everything was good .. surprise why the pea sprout is such small portion at $22 …

✅ Hanging Pork Belly (Liang Yi Bai Rou) I literally lost my mind over this dish ⚡️ Thin slices of pork belly + refreshing cucumber, crossed and hung up on a rack. The dipping sauce underneath is the soul of this dish! The garlic and chili flavor hit perfectly together — rich but not greasy, refreshing yet satisfying. Every bite screams “one more piece!” 🤤 ✅ Pepper-Fragrant Beef Tongue The beef tongue is sliced just right — thin but still super chewy. The pepper aroma is insane! So fragrant I couldn’t stop. The more you chew, the more flavorful, the spicier, and the more addictive it gets. ✅ Jumping Frog (Spicy Frog Legs) The frog legs were unbelievably tender! Zero gaminess, just tight, bouncy meat. The spicy broth locks in all the flavor. Not exaggerating — by the end, I honestly wanted to take the whole pot home. ✅ Old Jar Pickled Fish (Suan Cai Yu) The sourness is perfect — refreshing and appetizing, not harsh or sharp. Fish slices are thick and silky. The broth over rice? Transforms your soul. Give me a bucket of rice and I’ll finish the whole thing. ✅ Mom’s Pork Trotter Soup I knew it was legit the moment I saw it: milky white broth, rich, full of collagen. The trotters are soft, tender, and melt in your mouth. One sip and your whole heart feels warmed. ✅ Chili Lotus Chicken Totally underrated but a secret powerhouse 🔥 The lotus root is marinated — sour, spicy, super crunchy — and the chicken is tender and flavorful. One bite of lotus + one bite of chicken = instant soul upgrade.

Really great authentic Chinese cuisine and great atmosphere. Everyone was super friendly and the prices are decent. Our waiter Mr. Ding was so nice and helped us to pick some vegetarian options from the menu. We got some Szechuan Style Fried Noodles and Ma-Po tofu, added okra salad on the side. Everything was amazing and the tofu portion was so big we couldn’t even finish but packed it for later. Of course there was still room for dessert and we got Jelly with Coconut Sago. Super refreshing in this heat. Also you get amazing tea as complementary. Will come back again and definitely recommend!!

The waitress Jessie The food here is delicious and the environment is nice. The staff who served us were very friendly. They often helped us refill our water and brought us napkins without us asking. They were quick and had a very good service attitude.

The food was amazing! The food was extremely authentic and so flavorful. The service was also spectacular, May was especially amazing! The ambience is quite excellent for dates! She was attentive and made sure to take care of all our needs. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous and cozy atmosphere! Truly takes you to a whole new world. Very elevated feeling of dining but still casual. Service is fantastic and quick. You order through the QR code on the table using your phone. Everything came out delicious. Highly recommend the beef fried rice and hanging pork belly. Trust me the dipping sauce is the game changer. Tip: beautiful table in center that is more private and feels so elegant. Orchid in middle. Looks like surrounded by a moat. Very picturesque.

This place is pretty special. We came back today for another visit and were blown away by the atmosphere, service and most of all, amazing food. We love the authentic Sichuan cuisine and flavors and this place delivers. The fried baby eel was crispy and lite and the lotus root was fresh and tasty. We also tried their friend rice and chicken as well as the dumplings in chili oil. Everything was on point and spicy, just like we love it. The attention to detail and lovely interior add that extra touch. We’ll be coming back.

Food: Nice, good quality Service: our table server is Hope, she is nice and really friendly. She helped us to grill.

Ambiance and service 10/10 Parking is difficult and also highly recommend making a reservation. The food was delicious, I had this style food before but never presented in such a beautiful and creative way. Also the tea was absolutely amazing, floral and we had to ask what it was. It was jasmine green tea but so light and felt like very good quality tea. Overall great experience, and would go again if in the area or hosting friends. We got a private room which was nice and our waiter Din was so amazing! He even brought utensils and bowl for my toddler and was very accommodating. Pictures don't do it justice as the decor really does feel like you're in the mountains so where. Also my little one loved the koi bond waiting area by the entrance!

Beautiful restaurant, but the food left much to be desired. True to its name, Mountain House offers an elegant and traditional Chinese setting with its koi pond, yellow lanterns, water motifs, and an authentic Sichuan menu. It's the kind of place you'd like to take someone if you want to impress them or are celebrating a special occasion. Our order consisted of the following: Swing Pork Belly (3.5/5): Admit it, this is what you came for. I'm not exaggerating when I say I spotted around 80 percent of the tables around me with this dish on their table. Pork belly is never a bad thing, but it's far more aesthetically pleasing than it is on the taste buds. The pork belly, cucumber, and chili oil combo are pretty much exactly what you would imagine it to taste like. Mapo Tofu (4/5): This was my first time trying mapo tofu, not from a sauce packet but from a restaurant. It did not disappoint. If you grew up eating mapo tofu as comfort food, as my husband did, you would enjoy this. Spicy Pork Kidney (1/5): I'm not usually one to eat animal organs but I typically make an exception for pork kidney...this was not great. As soon as the waiter put down the dish, there was a strong odor, and a not so pleasant one at that. Beyond that, the pieces of kidney were cut too small where the texture turned out hard and chewy from being overcooked in the hot liquid. Service was attentive, but it took a long time for the pork kidney dish to arrive after we received our other dishes. And for it to not even taste good after the wait soured the experience. There were probably better dishes to order here, however, I'm not exactly in a hurry to return.

Mountain House is truly a hidden gem in Rowland Heights, combining culinary delights with one of the most breathtaking ambiances around. As you walk in, you're greeted by a serene koi pond, gentle water features, and lush trees that give the space a magical, almost otherworldly feel. It's easily one of the most beautifully decorated places in the area. The highlight of my meal was the swinging pork swing--a must-try! The sauce was flawless, balancing flavors perfectly with the spice level. Speaking of spice, everything we ordered packed a kick, but it was the kind of spice you crave and can't stop thinking about. For anyone who loves spicy food its a MUSTT TRYYYY!!

Mountain House Restaurant in Rowland Heights is a bit of a drive from LA, but it's worth it if you're craving authentic Sichuan cuisine. The ambiance is beautiful, making the dining experience even better. We tried the Lamb Neck Soup, Lazi Chicken, Pea Shoots, Noodles, and Pork Belly Swing, all of which packed the perfect amount of spice. The watermelon slushie drinks were refreshing and a nice touch to balance the heat. It was very Instagram worthy for pictures as well. Definitely worth a visit if you're a fan of bold, spicy flavors!

This place serves authentic Spicy food with a lot of dish varieties. Their spice level is no joke but it's definitely got the heat level right. There's a good selection of meat/fish/vegetable options, so there's definitely something for everyone. They're also well-staffed and dishes come up quick. It is on the pricier / more high end side of Chinese restaurants starting at an average of around $20-30 per item, but the portions are a good side and the vibes are immaculate

太陽下山會有月光，月亮西沈，仍有朝陽，往事已逝，無需罣礙，回首從前，當初所有的困難與委屈， 早就是輕舟已過萬重山呀～ 川山甲， 紐約來的名店，來過幾次，很喜歡裡面的裝潢，還有夠冷的冷氣（這點最近很重要）辣與不辣，任君挑選，服務方面， 態度很好，但調度有點問題， 等一碗白飯， 十來分鐘還是都沒有上來，東西是好吃的，也很適合請客歐！

It's my first time here and it's even better than what I was expecting. Let's talk about the decor. It's so beautiful and takes you out of Rowland heights. It's very pretty and almost feels whimsical. We were greeted by a friendly host and our server was excellent. The food was so delicious; everything we ordered was tasty. I can't wait to be back

Service was nonstop without asking! Tea, water napkins, it's like they know what we are thinking! They are all dressed up in tea ceremony clothing, it's so cute. The venue itself immerses its patrons on the mountain top of China. The food is good, and I didn't think it was that spicy. Shoutout to our servers Kevin and May.

We had a reservation for 14, but the restaurant squeezed us under a gazebo that was probably meant for a party of 10, leaving us super cramped. To top it off, the AC wasn't working, so it was uncomfortably hot. Ordering is done through your phone, which was necessary because the staff didn't greet us until we hunted someone down. It was actually faster to order drinks through the QR code. Be sure to stay on top of your orders because some items, like beers and dishes, didn't arrive, and I had to follow up multiple times. The staff was friendly, and the service was decent for an Asian place, but here's a tip: order your rice dishes first. We noticed the dishes came out in the order you add them to your cart, so we got all our main dishes without any rice. The decor is pretty cute and gives off a vibe like you're in one of those dramas, which I found amusing. Overall, the food was pretty good. It wasn't as spicy as you might expect, given all the Szechuan chilis. The fried intestines and the braised pork belly with veggies were my favorite dishes. The food is on the saltier side, so definitely pair it with rice. I would definitely come back once they have their AC working.

I was recommended this place to anyone who loves delicious food! I came here after a recommendation from a friend and was so happy I did. The ambiance and decor is so authentic feeling and clean, the staff was very friendly and the food portion sizes were so good! I also left my Gucci sunglasses there and they had them for me the next day and even said they tried to call me for them. Can't wait to come back.

We decided to have lunch at Mountain House in Rowland Heights, and we were lucky enough to be seated in a private room right away. The restaurant has a classy and aesthetically pleasing setup that definitely adds to the experience. Mountain House specializes in Chinese food, particularly Sichuan cuisine, known for its spicy and numbing flavors. If you're not a fan of those, this might not be the place for you. We ordered a variety of dishes, and the ones that stood out the most were the swinging pork belly, ma la pork intestines, ma la prawns, and the special cod fish soup. The ambiance makes it a nice spot for a date, but while the food was decent, it comes with a heftier price tag. I wouldn't say I'm rushing to return, as the food was okay but nothing particularly special.

TLDR; lovely setting, great tea, food was oily but a bit bland This restaurant primarily serves Szechuan food, featuring classics like spicy boiled fish a slices and stir fried chicken with peppers. Lovely presentation, but overall the food was not spicy enough, not flavorful enough, and too oily. The tea was very good (a blend of jasmine and osmanthus I believe) and the wait staff were nice. The "pork swing" looked and sounded cool but... the sauce that goes with it is literally chili oil (that isn't spicy) with garlic paste (that wasn't super strong). The best dish that I had there was the Szechuan peppercorn boiled sliced fish, which had a ton of mala spice and the fish was cooked perfectly tender.

This is na mixed review, but I would definitely return with a group to try other things. Absolutely beautiful atmosphere. And what little bit of service you get is decent. Although no one acknowledged my presence until I had an issue with a dish. This one of those scan code and order/pay through the app places. So basic communication of a server welcoming you, explaining how to order, or asking about dietary restrictions is lost. I did have to send back a MP item because it was not clear to me that the fish dish was covered in a pork sauce. BE AWARE: make note of any dietary restrictions and speak with a server if you not sure about how a dish is prepared. There is a Yelp waitlist. Plenty of free lot parking. I only had two dishes mainly because all the meat options have bone and I don't do pork or beef. THE FOOD: Long bean with eggplant: really good, slightly sweet sauce. Chilis are at the bottom so it can get spicy. Yum! Green Spicy Whole Fish - uh...pretty mild. Only flavored with the green chili's, cilantro, and green onion. Added a little soy and more chilies on top of rice.

Really well themed with equally delicious food. Very spicy but has the option to adjust spice levels with your order. Service was very friendly and accommodating. Steer clear of the lamb spine... it was really just a lot of spine and not a lot of meat. If that is your thing with a pitcher of beer kinda thing, that's great but if you're looking for a bite of meat anywhere, skip it hard. The wait here does get pretty hefty, we came super early like 5:30 pm for dinner and had to wait 15 min. It feels like parties tend to hang and mill about at their tables for a bit longer than the usual dinner spot. Not sure I'd wait *that long* during prime dinner time.

This ambience and decor of the place is beautiful when you step in. It can be really busy so you may have to wait if you're walking in. La zi chicken was cooked perfectly. the pickled fish soup was my favorite, super flavorful but may not be for those who don't like tart and spice flavors melding. All the food had the sichuan spice I was hoping for and I'd come back again.

This is probably one of the prettiest Chinese restaurants I have ever been to. Even before you enter the restaurant the entrance of the restaurant with the name plaque brings you back to ancient China. When you enter the restaurant you are welcomed by little gazebos for seating surrounded by rock gardens and a fish pond. Every corner of the restaurant is so intricately decorated that you feel that you are in an ancient Chinese drama. We were instantly wowed by the decor. Food is classic sichuan style cuisine. We had the la zi chicken, dumplings in chili oil, mao xue wang, swing pork belly, and finished with the osthmanthus rice balls for dessert. The food is definitely on the spicier side so if you can't handle spice this might not be the restaurant for you. My complaint is more on the service. Our waiter may have been new but he wasn't well versed on the menu or what they were out of for the day. There were 3-4 dishes that we wanted to order that they ran out of orders but he didn't tell us that until after we placed our order. And it took a while for us to have our orders taken as well. Maybe they were short staffed for the night. Overall a good experience. Must try sichuan restaurant in the 626 for sure.

The ambiance is impeccable. The decor is really nice; some booth seats actually have a traditional patio cover that goes with them. The restaurant is very noisy, like a traditional Chinese restaurant, but the decor and set-up give you some sort of privacy feeling. The food is excellent. I have been here twice. Everything I tried was outstanding. You can't go wrong with anything you order here. The only thing is that some dishes can get spicy. I recommend the beef tongue and stir-fried cabbages. The service is outstanding. They are very attentive. There was a small incident, but they were super apologetic about what happened. They compensated us with 3 watermelon juices. Their juices are very fresh and tasty. We were really happy with it.

Nice vibes! Delicious spicy food and great service! Reservation available on Yelp. My new favorite.

This is a unique restaurant in terms of decor and ambiance. The interior reminds me of restaurants from the old school Chinese movies where guys with long beards sip tea out of a bowl. The flavors of the dishes are bold and flavorful, and as expected for Sichuan food, some dishes can be spicy. They are known for the "La Zhi Chicken" and the "Swinging Pork Belly" appetizer. I highly recommend the Swinging Pork Belly dish just for the dipping sauce that they serve. Our server was friendly, but sometimes couldn't be found during our meal, and the hostesses seemed indifferent. Overall 4.5 stars.

Great food Great service Great Ambiance Always return Very special place for gathering!

Solid sichuan food. Flavor is on point. The inside is beautifully decorated. My only complaint and the sole reason for not giving a 5 stars is that their la zi ji (spicy chicken) had a ridiculously high amount of small smashed bone pieces within the meat. It is very unenjoyable to chew small pieces of fried chicken and hurt your teeth with bones every 2 bites. Service was good. Standard asian restaurant where they just get the job done without anything extra. Overall, would come back!

If you are looking for a trendy, delicious, Chinese spot for some spicy food, this is your place! LOCATION: Located right off the 60 highway in Rowland Heights, Mountain House is tucked in a corner of a food plaza. Lot of parking and it could be packed for dinner at night. It's tucked away but easy to find! SERVICE: fantastic service from the start to finish. They do come around a lot and the food came out fast, however we were early for lunch. The lady was very accommodating even for little children they brought out a bowl and high chair. They come around a check up a couple times, but overall, Wonderful service! FOOD: food was amazing! If you like Szechuan style and spicy food with the Ma La, this is your spot. Highly recommend the Swing Pork Belly with the garlic sauce, the sauce was the best part. teppan shrimp was so delicious and flavorful! The shredded Szechuan pork was a great add not too spicy. The drunk jelly dessert bowl was like a Chinese style açaí bowl, highly recommend to cap off your meal with this as it helps with the heat!

There is a parking lot with plenty of parking. We made a reservation beforehand and got seated right away. The inside is super pretty and has a koi pond at the front. Perfect date spot. The swinging pork and beef tongue were so good, the meat for both was tender and light. The mapo tofu was good, but wish there was more meat.

i can finally check this place off my list despite always passing by/ being in this plaza! first of all the interior decor lichrally transports me to ancient china or something i was in awe of the architecture and lights and koi fish !! waitlist wasn't too long ~ but don't expect too much either because the busiest times are at dinner and the parking is crazy we ordered: the pork belly with chili oil (favorite taste but it was a bit tooo fatty and thick for my liking), mapo tofu (good flavors! but i think i like it when i make it at home + more meat), dumplings (loved her hmmm), beef fried rice (probably the best/ my family's favorite out of it all) and tea + sides are nice. really kind employees too we barely had any leftovers yommm the address is so angel number 888 obviously lov that !!

This place reminded me of the tea house in Jiufen in Taiwan...without the outside views ;) anyway, it was a pretty cool place interior design and layout is peaceful and something. I don't see every day in Rowland Heights. The food was very tasty and did not at all feel like a one note meal... Each dish had its own signature flavor profile, and even though everything had a decent amount of spice, none of it tasted like it was just a "spicy" meal . I feel like we got a pretty good variety of dishes, although there are a few more that we want to try and will try next time like the pork swing, but that just felt like too much. The ambience was friendly and peaceful, and even though you were sitting nearby other tables, you still feel like you were kind of isolated to your own tables, which is kind of cool. I felt like Service was less than desirable, but not horrible... The main thing was when we got there the restaurant was half empty, and I asked for us to sit in one of the tables that has a covering around it by the water... The guy told us it was only for groups of six or more And then seated us at a table for four. About 10 minutes later three people got seated at the table we wanted that was supposed to be for six people and when I asked the server why his explanation was that they ordered too much food for one table... Ironically, much less food than we ordered... Lol I would've given them five stars if it wasn't for that little incident and they were not the most responsive when we needed our water or tea filled or anything extra and we had to keep asking them anytime we needed anything despite walking right past us and not even asking if we needed anything. Nevertheless, I will be back... I loved the experience and the food was great and I had already read that Service was not so great so I didn't expect the highest marks.

A joint that celebrates each ingredient's unique natural flavors in true Szechuan style. The ambiance alone instantly transports you out of LA County and into a beautiful courtyard somewhere in mainland China. Each dish is refreshingly scrumptious including the drinks--oh my gosh the drinks--I got the mango yakult and grape & lime sparkling water. The spicy food weakling in me need those. I have no complaints about the service. It was above and beyond and we truly appreciate the complimentary (amazing) house tea and fresh salad--I never thought I'd say this about a salad appetizer but my gosh, how addicting is that?! The freshest cabbage matched with the light, spicy sauce was a revelation. Thank you for branching out in the West Coast. We need more restaurants like this. Someone please give them a Michelen star!

Awesome interior design and great ambiance. Staff were friendly but not much interaction. You order by scanning the QR code at the table and placing the order on your phone. If you don't have WiFi they share theirs on the QR sign. Food arrived at an expected time. Love the complimentary pickled cabbage side dish! Drinks and food tasted good. Watermelon slush tasted like fresh watermelon, the grape and lime drink tasted like grape soda. The pork belly swing was new for me. It was a light appetizer. The chili oil sauce was really good. I don't think I would order it again, a bit difficult to roll up and eat. The beef rib wraps were good. Love the crunchy chili oil! The classic Mapo tofu was as expected, flavorful and not too spicy. The coconut jelly and sago dessert was nice and light, not too sweet. When we were done we couldn't see any staff members. Even the front desk was empty. The table beside us got up to look for someone. They sat down and boxed their food and awkwardly waited and then got up again to get the check and sat down again. Had to ask for a to go box and check twice, the first staff member probably forgot and the second brought it with the check. Our check was about $90. Their lowest tip calculation is 18%. Would like to return to try their claypot beef stew.

Delicious Szechuan food! We got the Swing Pork Belly ($14), Ma-Po Tofu ($16), and Grilled Beef Ribs ($29). Great flavors from the sauces or powders. I really liked the sauce from the Swing Pork Belly. It's definitely got a kick to it, but tasty flavors. Portion is decently-sized; you won't get into a food coma or anything. Service of the place is great! Our waiter always made sure we had enough water and tea available. The inside of the place is cool! The entrance has a coy pond, and the inside has a strong dark wood theme to it. Overall, this place is super cool and gives a traditional feel to it. I highly recommend trying this place!

If you're not familiar with the area the restaurant may feel slightly hidden and the run down motel you need to drive past to get to the plaza may not be a great impression. However the restaurant inside is very nice with many custom and thoughtful details so you feel like you're dining at a Chinese courtyard house. In total we ordered 6 dishes. My favorite was the long bean with eggplant. Great flavors and it hit all the elements of sichuan cuisine with very layered flavors of salty, spicy, sweet, etc. The steamed fish we ordered was not great. Overcooked, lacked flavor, and worst yet a bitter taste due to improper cleaning. However. Aside for that fish we were happy with meal overall. I would come back to try the other dishes.

If you love Szechuan food, Mountain House is the restaurant to go to! The interior decoration and overall ambiance is very pleasant with warm lighting. It's definitely a lovely restaurant if you want a nice ambiance. The service staff are nice and have great customer service.

Great food and service. Great spot for casual Chinese food. Don't forget to try their deserts

There's a wow factor upon entering the Mountain House! The decor transports to serene location, with natural elements adding to the serenity and calm. First time and we are ready to return type of place. The wait staff is attentive, guiding you along the way. We tried the module tofu, with a savory sauce and a hint of heat. Mixed in a bed in white rice and you just keep eating. The green beans were sautéed with ground pork and dried chilis- flavorful and filling. As for the fried noodles, the bean sprouts has a sweetness mistaking the flavor for corn. The pot of jasmine tea was placed on a heated stand, keeping it nice and hit throughout your meal. Love this place.

When it comes to the most aesthetic and authentic Szechuan restaurant I have ever been to, it has to the Mountain House! The restaurant may be located in Rowland Heights but it felt like I was transported to China for a second, the interior is beautifully constructed and so unique! Though the swing pork belly is popular for its aesthetic, I personally enjoyed it. The pork belly and cucumber pairs so well with the sauce and for me, the sauce really elevated the taste. Mapo tofu, sautéed Chinese long beans and eggplants, and braised pork were perfect with rice. The dumplings in chili oil had to be my favorite, so juicy and flavorful! Despite the food came out slow, the servers were attentive and friendly, making sure to check up on the table here and there. Mountain House won me over with its interior design, authentic food, and pleasant service.

Beautiful decor, inside feels majestic, classic, old school, yet new. We had to order the pork swing appetizer and that garlic sauce with it, was mmm delicious, I just wanted to bathe in that sauce. It went well with anything. Dishes came out in a timely manner and the highlight was the beef and buns.

Really cool spot. Love the decorations and setting. There was no wait for 3 on a Wednesday evening. I liked that you can order directly from your phone through scanning the QR Code so if you're antisocial (like me sometimes) you don't really need to interact with the wait staff. Highly recommend the hanging pork, was my favorite thing on the menu. Really drown it in the sauce for the full experience. Everything else was relatively good, but the standout is the pork. The La-Zi chicken was spicy, so if you're into that def get it. I didn't particularly love it. The soy milk was super nutty and came in a cool glass but wasn't that sweet. I'd come again to try new things, but would def get the hanging pork again.

If you like Szechuan food, this is a place for you because the menu is mostly spicy. The decor of the restaurant reminds me of ancient China with the traditional setting. Came here on a Sunday morning when it just opened and there was no wait that day. The waiter seated us and brought us jasmine tea that was served in this heavy teapot with a heated stand. The tea was very comforting and light to help with the spicy food. When it comes to ordering the food, all you need to do is scanned the QR code and order from your phone. I'm not a big fan of spicy food because I can't really handle spice. The food we order weren't that spicy at all. I think the spiciest was the pickled veggies. The dumplings in chili sauce, ma la boiled beef, yibin cold noodles and eggplants were all not bad but my friend who likes spicy food said it could have been spicier for his taste. Overall I give it a 3.5, food was ok to me but the decoration is what makes the place special.

I expected this place to be spicy since it's Szechuan food. Despite everything being spicy, the flavors were good. I really liked the Swing pork belly; honestly, that was the only thing I enjoyed because everything else we ordered was too spicy for me. I love how they present their food and their interior design, it really gives you a feel of ancient China. My cousins are fans of this place, and I can see why.

With so much hype about this place got our curiousness to try. I find it everything was just super spicy for my liking. The pork belly appetizer was yummy, the dessert was yummy. Everything else was either mid or way too spicy. The restaurant has beautiful decor throughout, everything looks like transforming you to a totally different place than Rowland Heights, LOL Even their restroom is nice. The service is decent, some do not understand English, but they are helpful.

I been wanting to come here for a long time now. Finally had a chance to, as you walk in to the door, It feels as if you are traveling back in time. I just love the Vive of ancient China. Every little detail is very unique and warm feeling. The all the dishes and tea presentation are intriguing, had unique and very thoughtful concept. Love it !!! Service was Great, although they don't speak much. They were very attentive. The food was spicy & flavorful. One thing I like to point out was, for me there were too many peanuts not enough meat on kung pao chicken. Love to invite friends and come back !!!

This place was absolutely stunning. We were sat on a semi-private room with a group of 10. The food was amazing but please be aware that majority of their food will be spicy and full of . The service was amazing as well and honestly, they can do better cleaning the bathroom. I will definitely go back specifically if I have a group of people.

Food is delicious here. And the inside is absolutely beautiful they have a pond with koi fish inside and you can order online the they give you a check at the end to pay. The staff are so nice and quick.

We came here for dinner and was impressed by the whole decoration...it's very unique and peaceful when you first stepped foot here. I made a reservation for 9 people on the phone. They don't take online reservations; the only reservation system is only for Boston and NYC. I recommend people call to make reservation as I could see that night was super packed. Might be bc it's super busy that night, our sever was a little lagging...didn't come to check on us often or refilling tea or giving us water. Less attentive but higher than a typical Chinese restaurant service standard. A lot of their dishes are spicy but they do have some non spicy options, so make sure to look at the menu and ask. Most of the people in our group can handle spicy and we found that the spicy level was not too hard core... We ordered a cold noodles to start and it's sesamey and refreshing. Pork belly and cucumber dish was great with their sauce. Beef with buns was also refreshing and pretty light since the beef was thinly sliced. My favorite dish of the night was the fish in sour soup. It's so tasty and flavorful and not over power and the fish was so soft and smooth. Lotus stirfried was great but wishing they could have added more greens like thinly sliced celery to it to make the color popped. Overall, we had a great experience.

I was very excited about trying out Mountain House, there aren't a lot of upscale chinese restaurant, or maybe i just haven't gone to many, so it was refreshing to try one. Their dishes can be more on the spicy side so if you are not into that your options will be limited. I personally really like spicy food so none of it was too much to handle. The swinging pork belly was a nice dish. In a way it felt refreshing despite the sauce that comes with it being oily. The spicy dumplings were solid, the pig trotter soup was soothing and a good break from the spices and oil. Our table really enjoyed the boiled fish and that was finished then picked clean pretty quickly. We also ordered the Osmanthus Coconut Jelly with Sago and Sweet Drunken Jelly. Those were so beautiful i couldnt get myself to be the first to destroy it. Also super good after a bery heavy meal.

This is my favorite Szechuan restaurant! I've been here more times than I can count. To start off, the complimentary tea and spicy pickled cabbage are so flavorful. We typically order the Jiang stew fish, lazi chicken, ma po tofu and swing pork belly. Everything is so delicious and flavorful! I love how the Jiang stew fish uses fresh fish and not the typical frozen fillets you find in most other Szechuan restaurants. The fish, chicken, and tofu are fairly spicy! Definitely numb spicy and not something I'd recommend for those who dislike spicy food. Food aside, the atmosphere and environment appear very high end and clean. And the price is comparable, maybe slightly higher than somewhere like Szechuan Impressions. Overall this place continues to exceed my expectations every time I come.

The spicy black fish was really delicious and all the decorations here are beautiful and service was great! It's really a calming environment and if you want to impress your date I think a really beautiful date restaurant but if you go here in a Friday or Saturday night you might have to to wait so I'm told but if you come on a Sunday late lunch there's no wait

This is a beautifully decorated restaurant that specializes in Sichuan food. The interior has such lovely seating areas and ambiance. The food was all pretty good, with a few standout dishes. Sichuan food is usually quite spicy, so if that's not your cup of tea, I'd ask the waiter which dishes had mild vs maximum spice. I'd recommend the: -twice cooked pork -beef fried rice -corn fried in egg -beef stew -beef soup I have to minus a star for the service, which was soooo slow. They were definitely not in a rush and gave new restaurant vibes even though this restaurant isn't new. I'd recommend stopping here for a meal if you crave Sichuan food in a beautiful atmosphere, and you aren't in a rush.

Before I start I just want to say that you are 100% paying for the ambience and the atmosphere here. My friend got here before I did and secured a seat before the huge Saturday lunch rush came in. She had no wait and was there before noon if that helps out. I feel like the dining experience would be greatly enhanced if you have a bigger party and can get a reservation or seating at the fancy "gazebo" that they have there. As a party of 2, and seeing up to a party of 4, you're just at a standard table and the customer service was just alright. We had to wave and flag down our server multiple times to get our orders in, to get our checks, etc. Waitress was nice enough to box our orders for us though. However, they did forget our pitcher of honey yuzu tea, but they didn't charge us for that at the very least. We got the: 1) Swing Pork Belly: -It's thinly sliced pork belly with thinly sliced cucumber hanging over some sauce. -The sauce was a slightly spicy, slightly numbing, savory oily sauce. -Definitely something meant for the 'gram. Regardless, still pretty tasty. -Pork belly was tender and rich, cucumber adds a crunch, and the sauce just pulled it altogether. 2) Mapo Tofu: -This came in a stone pot. -Classic silky tofu with minced beef braised in numbing spicy chili sauce. -It comes out in a heavy looking stone bowl and smells divine. -Nice numbing taste to it, but I really wish that it had a bit more minced braised beef. -This was probably the most beef lacking mapo tofu that I've had at a restaurant and it's a bit disappointing since this was such a fancy restaurant. 3) Teppan Shrimp (8 Pieces): -Pan fried shrimp flavored with garlic sauce. Generous amount of diced garlic all over. -The shrimp come with tail and head on. -The shrimp was moist and the garlic flavor was strong and delicious. Loved the diced garlic adding bursts of flavor with each bite. 4) Yibin Nodles: -Nutty, savory, chili oil sauce dry noodles. -The noodles are nicely doughy and absorbed the taste of the sauce very well. -It's tangy and refreshing. Great carb to go with our meal Unfortunately, the chili oil dumplings were already sold out at that point in the morning and although we didn't get the iced tea that we wanted we got some free hot jasmine tea, which looked pretty neat in their unique meshed looking tea cups. I'd come here again to try more unique things on their menu and with a bigger party to try more of their food!

nice interior design on the inside that resembles wealthy chinese dynasty vibes. the small koi fish pond is nice to look at in their waiting area but it concerns me just how small their swimming space is. the service is quick. they seem to be your typical introverted chinese waiter or waitresses who don't introduce themselves or make conversation..which is fine! does not exactly match the price point though. i'm not a fan of the la zi chicken. i don't like that it came on a shovel head. this dish also wasn't spicy at all. swinging pork belly is pretty standard but it was presented nicely. i think the cucumber enhanced the plainness of the pork belly though. the sauce it came with also didn't have much flavor and nothing about this dish had savoriness. tomato fish soup was good! was not a spicy soup salted egg corn kernels are fun and tasty. this might've been the best for me for this dinner. tofu was bland. the sweet drunken ice jelly is standard.
