Sichuan House

We had 7+ people and 6 dishes, and we still couldn't eat it all. Well spiced and flavorful! Will definitely be back. Heads up!You have to order the duck beforehand.

My new favorite place for authentic Chinese food! The food here is amazing, especially the FAMOUS green beans, I almost hate to say anything! It's so good! I also had salt and pepper shrimp! Soup dumplings, and they have my favorite veggies, like Chinese broccoli!

Went here cuz of Triple D. Service is on point. Didn't have reservations, highly recommend having a reservation. Had an hour wait for that. Place has simple decor and isn't fancy. But it's clean and works well. Staff is fantastic as is the food. Just do the recommendations. Did a couple of those and went off on my own. The recommended food was amazing, the duck was just very good. The pork belly... OMG... And the prices are pretty good. Two appetizers, two entrees and the bill was under $75. If you're thinking about it, just do it. It's great. My belly is still happy as I'm writing this.

Sichuan House offers a delightful dining experience, blending traditional Sichuan flavors with some interesting twists. Among their offerings, the Teriyaki Chicken stands out as a flavorful yet traditional. The chicken is tender and well-cooked, with a slightly sweet and savory glaze that complements the meat without overpowering it. We always start out with their house dumplings, which are delicious and a generous amount! The Green Bean dish is another highlight at Sichuan House. The beans are crisp and cooked to perfection, retaining a satisfying bite. They’re sautéed with garlic and a subtle seasoning that enhances the natural flavor of the beans without being overly greasy or heavy. The combination of texture and flavor in this dish is a refreshing contrast to some of the richer offerings on the menu. Overall, Sichuan House excels in providing a well-rounded meal with great attention to flavor and presentation. Whether you're in the mood for something savory like the Teriyaki Chicken or a lighter, flavorful side like the Green Beans, their menu delivers solid, tasty dishes that won’t disappoint.

The food at this restaurant is very unrecommended. We heard from our friends that this place is good so we came to this restaurant with high expectations. Drove almost half an hour to get here. I have to say the service is very good. But the food is really not recommended. The chicken was fishy like leftovers. The fish was just ok but not very fresh fish either. The cumin lamb was average. The garlic baby bok choy was great. I like this one. The waiter was very nice and caring. At first we were allowed to sit at a small table but because we ordered a little too much we were allowed to switch to a larger table. My friend and I were hungry so we had no choice but to keep eating we didn't want to waste it. Their food is as bad as pre-made dishes. All in all, the service is good but the food is not recommended.

The food was very flavorful and well prepared! Best pot sticker type dumpling! We will definitely be back!

Celebrated my birthday here last night and it was a very memorable experience. We had a lot of people in our party, it was BYOB, and the service was super accommodating to our needs. The food was on another level. I didn't think prior to this that San Antonio had much in the way of Szechuan cuisine, but this changed my mind. It was spicy, numbing, and super savory. Next time I will take more pictures because the food itself has great preparation.

Make sure to look at lowest reviews first, then know they are accurate. Shady plaza, not clean inside, dirty cups, and 100% sure the “chicken” is chitterlings. Just don’t go….and for the owner response don’t bother, we won’t be back All around terrible.

The dong po pork was the best thing I've ever eaten in my life, the service here is always amazing and the food never disappoints 10/10 best Chinese food in San Antonio!

Food is exceptionally great. The numbing spice was amazing. Dio was very attentive and quick with our orders. Brought some friends over that tried it for the first time and they loved it as well. Busy but speedy for a Friday night!

I believe this is my family's 86th time here. With a full stomach and taste buds lingering with spice -- Sichuan House has proved to me yet again they are singular in what they do for the SA food scene. Perhaps best of all, the staff is genuine and embodies the family-friendly feel at every opportunity (big ups and special shout out to our server, Dio!). I am already looking forward to my next craving for this place.

The rave reviews are accurate. We picked 4 items to share & all were delicious! The restaurant is located in a small strip mall. Ver unassuming. They do accept reservations via the Open Table app. We did not need them on a Thursday evening in January but we can definitely see how this place can get busy. From the hostess to the servers and chef, we had excellent service. The staff know the menu very well and can walk even the pickiest eater to a fabulous meal. Food is brought out as soon as it is ready in the kitchen. Our first dish was the sautéed green beans. Don't miss these. We ate the straight off the serving platter. Next came the salt & pepper shrimp along with a side of perfectly cooked rice. The shrimp were plump and flavorful. We also order the chicken spring rolls & shrimp/pork fried dumplings. Both came with a signature chili oil sauce. Our tip of the trip is to order some of their homemade garlic ginger soy sauce for dipping. It's delicious. We can't wait to come back and bring our tribe. We have so many more dishes to try.

LOCATION: Near the freeway, which is good, but in a slanted strip center with a small, shared parking lot, which is a slight downside. Inside is a little bare, but better than being cluttered. Cool people and service has always been professional. FOOD: Awesome food and a lot of options. The Mongolian Beef is pictured below. The meat is really good on its own, but it's been served with a lot of onions when I've had it, and I would prefer more green/red peppers instead. The portion was great, and with the rice, I'm usually full. I also really like the crispy dumplings. Always would recommend them. One note is mild spice is USUALLY just barely spicy. I would go at least medium if you enjoy some heat. They have some good, more authentic-style Chinese food as well. The Chuan and the Spicy Garlic Chicken are awesome. Finally, it is BYOB if you plan on drinking. Overall, awesome place for some legit Chinese food. Not too much extra pizzazz, but the flavors are what matter most in my opinion, and they are usually A+.

Sichuan house what is the best Chinese food I have ever had and that is not an exaggeration. I enjoyed going there with a big group of coworkers because we got to eat family style and try a lot of things. The Dan pork belly was amazing perfectly crispy but also sweet and juicy. The tea smoked duck was crispy and the flavors were so incredible. there was no gaminess with the duck. It was just pure Flavor. I am not a big vegetable person, but the green beans were delicious and I am regretting not asking for the recipe because I wanna make that at home. They had the perfect amount of char and flavor.

Finally tried this spot that has been on my list for far too long. We made a reservation although when we showed up at 630 during the week we were the only ones there. The waitress gave us the rundown on the food, how it's family style, and things come out as they're ready. I ordered the hot and sour soup which was really good but lukewarm. We also ordered the soup dumplings (the main reason we came here). We were told they take about 20 minutes which we were fine with. They were decent soup dumplings but not the best I've had. We then shared the pork belly. It was served with A LOT of sauce which I don't think it needed that much. But the pork belly was super tender and delicious. They offered a side of steamed rice with it which I think was necessary because of the amount of sauce. But overall, good service, tasty dishes.

This is about as good as it gets in the area. If you like Suchuan style, I imagine it's hard to beat the authentic flavors that Sichuan House offers. The location is nestled in a little strip mall, not too many seats but there is a side room for larger parties. L Service here was great and our server took the time to look up the ingredients and explain the menu. There are so many options on the menu, I'm looking forward to coming back and trying them all!

In San Antonio for work. 5 of us came in last night. Looks kinda like a hole in the wall but the food is outstanding. Staff was very friendly as well. We pretty much sampled a lot of the menu. The Don Po pork, sichuan pork, the tea duck, cold noodles, fungi sampler, crispy spicy savory chicken, SICHUAN salt and pepper chicken, bok Choi ... it was all very good! The house made chili oil is freaking delicious!!!!!

Decided to go for something different tonight and wasn't disappointed. Small, clean, superior service and outstanding food. So tasty so here's a quick rundown. Garlic bok chop, gets in your vegetables so you have something to help with spicy food and nice, clean and fresh flavor. Salt and pepper shrimp. Great light coating and fabulous flavor. If you like spicy, go for mala dry pot. Omg, so fantastic. We will be back and highly recommend.

I finally got to try Sichuan House after seeing episode on DDD. We picked up a couple of different dishes to try out. The service was quick. The ambiance inside was quiet. The "Guardian of the Palace" dish was amazing. I enjoyed how they cooked the tofu, which is something difficult to find done well here in SA. Highly recommend coming here if you are into Asian Fusion style food.

Our regular Chinese place closed their doors, so we've been looking for a new place. Discovered this place and it search may be over. Ordered basic standard...Gen Tso chicken and chicken LoMain. The General Tso was very good it could have been a little spicier, but was still very tasty.

Absolutely amazing experience at Sichuan House! The noodles were beyond delicious--perfectly cooked with just the right balance of spice and flavor. The crispy chicken was a standout: tender, juicy, and with a crunch that's pure perfection. Their appetizers were equally impressive, with bold flavors that set the tone for a fantastic meal. The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. If you're a fan of authentic, flavorful Sichuan cuisine, this spot is an absolute must-try. Highly recommend and can't wait to return!

I was seated upon entering without a wait on a Saturday. Truly authentic spot but the service was not up to par. Somehow everybody's food kept coming out before mine although they had arrived after me? When I checked in on my order, it was wrong so it prolonged my wait. It took almost an hour just to get the first part of meal. The appetizers (wonton & rolls) did come out quickly. Besides that, they played good music and overall the place is clean and not too loud. Here's my rating on everything I ordered: *Hand-Folded Wontons (plain broth): 3/5 - I didn't like the taste of the pork in the dumpling. *Spring Rolls (Veggie): 5/5 - very tasty and you get 6 total with a spicy sauce *Lo Mein (Mixed/Mildly Spicy): 2/5 - The beef is dry and the shrimp is small. I asked for spicy and it was bland so I had to return it.. *The Spicy Cumin (Beef): Unfortunately my plate was never brought to me or prepared. An hour and 10 minutes later, I decided to leave and go somewhere else.

Pork soup dumplings 6/10 Chicken soup dumplings 4/10 Famous green beans 7/10 My wife and I have started looking for soup dumplings around the San Antonio area. We were up in Tyler Tx last year and had the best soup dumplings we have ever tasted. This was a top rated restaurant when searching for soup dumplings. I will say I was not impressed. The pork and chicken meat had good flavor. The pork soup did not. The chicken soup dumplings were over cooked and had no soup at all. They were all also stuck to the serving dish. I thought maybe all the soup had spilled to the plate under the dish. It did not, the plate was dry. I did love the famous green beans. They had lots of flavor. Staff was very friendly and informed me that they have expanded their menu.

I am going to say that this is by far the most tasty, delicious Asian food I have eaten. I don't know what it is, but the food here tastes AMAZING. It was so good that I went 2 days in a row! I would say the restaurant itself is just ok, very simple, nothing special, the staff is attentive. The service is fast, both times I went the food came out in a pretty quick time and the plates are shareable. Prices are fair. Definitely I will keep coming even that is a 30 min drive.

Favorites are the spicy wonton soup, crispy spicy savory shrimp. Soup dumplings are no longer on the menu and I really wish they would bring them back. Twice as nice twice cooked pork is also good and sometimes get the plain steamed buns to eat the meat with. Definitely family style portions, and the entrees all come with rice.

For Sunday dinner, we visited Sichuan House (@sichuaneats). We've been here a few times before and each time has been really good. Not long ago, it was featured by Guy Fieri for Diner's Drive-Ins and Dives. The menu highlights what dishes were showcased on the show. Dad had Sprite, Hubby had the Blueberry-flavored Iced Tea, and I had Regular Iced Tea. We all shared The Don (Dong Po Underbelly Pork), The Tea Quaker (Tea-Smoked Duck), No Place Like Tofu (Homestyle Tofu), and Sichuan Green Beans. The pork belly was amazingly tender and the sauce was phenomenal. The white meat of the duck was slightly dry but the dark meat was good. We definitely had leftover food to go. Check out @satx.aapi to download the passport and see the participating restaurants and businesses!

May not look like much from the outside, but the experience inside will blow you away! Its a small cafe style place serving up top-notch eats! We ordered a bunch of different things and everything was super delicious. I even liked the duck, and I'm not a huge fan of duck! Dont pass up on the green beans, trust me, they are a must have!

Since this restaurant has been on the TV, their wait is considerably longer. You can make a reservation so you don't have to wait. Our food was out fast and hot. You could tell everything was fresh. I ordered the Calamari Spicy, Crispy, Savory and it definitely lives up to the name. It is very spicy but in a gradual heat way, not like Serrano but like the Szechuan pepper. It was delicious but be warned it is spicy. The service was great. One of the people in our party had an issue with his bill and the manager was able to correct the issue. Overall, this place really lives up to the hype.

Food is always very flavorful. A lot of my friends like this place. We tried the spicy fried chicken , cashew chicken, and the garlic stirfried green beans. We also tried the garlic cucumber, which is very refreshing. All the food was very flavorful and definitely recommend. Service was efficient and friendly. Ambience was nice however they get pretty busy.

Oh my gosh, everything we got here was so freaking good!!! The flavor, the spice, perfection! We ordered online and got the Twice is Nice pork belly, cold "not Dan Dan" noodles, spicy peanuts, bao buns, and hot & sour soup. We used the bao buns with the pork belly and made our own little tasty bites! Love that they have plain buns offered like that! I bet it would be great with other meats or veggies on the menu! They were so nice and gave us 4 extra containers of their DELICIOUS chili oil, that I could drown in and be totally fine. We were visiting from out of town and wish this was back home! Hope to eat here again in the future and try more things! Run don't walk to this place!!

I tried the eggplant and orange chicken! The eggplant was cooked really nicely. Oily and flavorful! The orange chicken was yummy. I liked the addition of sesame seeds.

Great place for family style dining. They offer a great variety dishes. The staff is friendly and nice. We ordered about 5 dishes and came out to around $50. It was a pretty good price for all the great foods we got. They have great seating with big open windows and natural light. I would highly suggest this place.

The food was okay but not the best, we ended up packing it up to go because there was so much raw onion it was impossible to eat, so we cooked it down more at home to eat later. The male greeter was incredibly friendly and accommodating considering it was our first time. Our waitress and subsequent service was subpar. She wasn't friendly at all she almost tossed our food on the table she never brought us plates instead we ate from our little appetizer plates and she brought our appetizer out after the entrees said "here" and walked away. When we asked for a to go plate I watched her do 4 other things before she leisurely made her way to the to go plates to bring us one. Worst server ever!

This cute small place it is usually crowded. I had the Twice Cooked Underbelly Pork , Garlicky Noodles and The TEA Smoked Duck. I enjoyed the Twice Cooked Underbelly Pork, it was juicy & very tender. The Garlicky Noodles are to die for! I would definitely go back to try other dishes.

My husband and I immensely enjoyed our meals at Sichuan House. Hubby had "Crispy, Spicy, Savory" and I had "Love Me or Hate Me". Both were unique and amazing. Each had a nice, clean kick without the cloying cornstarch gumminess of some sauces. Really a kick in the pants! The Sichuan green beans were also delightful. We'll be back

Always a solid meal at Sichuan House. Our server Dio was attentive and just the right amount of friendly (iykyk).

After a particularly treacherous day at work I decided to just order a bunch of takeout. I was really wanting NYC style Chinese food and was told this is the spot. Sichuan house did not disappoint. The salt and pepper shrimp was perfectly fried with just the right amount of batter. The cold chili noodles didn't look like much when I opened it, but they were full of all different types of flavors. Do not pass up the Sichuan green beans! They are so good. I ate them for like three days. There is a small dining room, but seems like they are well versed in to go orders. I highly recommend ordering a bunch of items and then just graze.

The food here was AMAZING! Their servers were so attentive, warm and welcoming. Came here with my husband for lunch and it was a quiet spot with a very relaxing atmosphere. Definitely making this one of our regular spots.

We came here on Chinese new year with a reservation. The food came really fast even though we ordered like 5 dishes. I highly recommend a reservation or else you'll be waiting a while for a table.

Got crispy dumplings to go, and they were fresh and crispy. I chose the pork and was very happy with my choice. 8 pcs in the order, and they are medium-sized. Can be eaten in 2-3 bites. Plenty of meat filled them. Consistency was perfect. I could have used soy sauce, but they didn't include any, only hot oil. Service was fairly quick waited less than 10 minutes for my order.

Recommend the One star for the cold garlic noodles , mushrooms ‍ and green beans. The spicy savory crispy chicken had more chili peppers than chicken and was inedible. Plus the Sichuan peppercorns were in short supply in the dish and were not bloomed. Usually it looks like little lady bugs . These were very scarce, closed and green. I know that green peppercorns provide a different flavor but the over abundance of dried red chili fried black was overwhelming any other flavor. The wait for takeout was quoted as 15-20 minutes. It took 40 minutes. And I had to call and ask about the status. Might as well have been seated for a wait that long. Rice was dropped upside down and open in the bag. No eggplant dishes or hot tea. Disappointing experience. Never been disappointed with spot but it was so subpar this time.

Favorite Sichuan Chinese spot in San Antonio - perfect place to come with a group and share a couple of dishes family style. I've come here a few times and love the green beans and mapo tofu especially. My non vegetarian friends also highly recommend all the dishes they have tried here

Came here earlier today. We came in during lunch time. It didn't look too busy to me. There were 4 tables open out of 7-8 tables or so (roughly estimating). The hostess said it would be a wait. But there were two small square tables that could have been easily combined to fit a party of 5. But maybe they have rules to follow? (The two other parties had 5 or 6 people in their parties and the two tables were combined to fit that number of people). But my family and I obliged and waited for about 10-15 mins, which isn't bad. We were really hungry. It could have been avoided if the staff were able to utilized the other table to seat our party. But the waitress apologized for the wait when we got seated. She was extremely nice and attentive!!! We got 5 different dishes to try. My favorite was the green beans and the pock marked mother Chen (Mapo Tofu). All the dishes were very flavorful.

They used medium noodles. I love this because I can put smaller parts in my mouth. Spring rolls!

Out of every restaurant I was excited to try in San Antonio, Sichuan House was probably my most disappointing experience. The main factors being bad service and a lot of inexperience despite seeing reviews raving about the service, but my experience was not the same. I can tell the ownership is passionate about bringing this type of cuisine to San Antonio, but I just wish the rest of the staff felt the same way. Service was a 2/10 for me. Food wise my table ordered the Sichuan Underbelly Pork ($18), Hands-Folded Sichuan Wontons with Spicy Broth ($10), and "Spicy Garlic" Eggplant ($12). The wontons were definitely my least favorite as the spicy broth wasn't spicy and also just tasted watery. The stuffing in the wontons were bland and dry as well. The bok choy was flavorless. The top of the broth was also pretty oily and overall I'd give this dish a 2.5/10. The Spicy Garlic Eggplant was at least pretty solid and the eggplant soaked up the flavors of the sauce pretty well. You can really taste the garlic flavor and the eggplant was tasty. The only downside was the skin being a bit tough and hard so I would have to peel it off. Eggplants do have the tendency to soak up tons of oil when fried which was the case for this dish. 6.5/10 Sichuan Underbelly Pork ($18) had really tender pork belly. It was a bit on the saltier side, but eating it with rice definitely balances it out. The vegetables underneath also made a nice balance and overall this dish was one of the better items we had. 7.5/10 Overall I probably wouldn't return again because the food to me personally does not outweigh the dissatisfaction from the service. It was awkward walking in and the hostess who I overheard being new not saying a word to us and seating us then walking away.

A shoutout to James at The Sichuan House. Thanks for stepping up tonight. It was greatly appreciated. Chinese take-out on Christmas Eve has been a family tradition for our big crew for nearly 30 years. When we moved to Texas 12 years ago it took a while to find a good and authentic Chinese restaurant. This year we decided to go with the Sichuan House and we were pleased to find our favorite dishes on their menu. Potstickers, Spring Rolls, Hot and Sour Soup, Egg Flour Soup, Pork Fried Rice, Spicy Garlic Chicken, Sesame Chicken and several others. We drove from Leone Springs and it was worth the drive! The flavors on these favorites were excellent! If you are looking for an authentic Chinese experience, you should try Sichuan House... Thanks for making the Holiday memorable!

Surprised by how good this place was! We got the tea smoked duck, Mongolian lamb, and chicken lo mein. All the food was tasty and enough to feed 4 adults. Service was good and the despite the outside, the inside was nice. Good for a casual date. Want to try more spicy food next time!

Great tasting food!! I did not expect this food to taste the way it did based on the location of the restaurant but the food was amazing and it was very authentic totally recommending this to others and definitely gonna be my regular spot

They were super nice when we when we went there. The service was very fast and I really liked the "not dan dan" noodles. I thought it was very good but after a while it was a bit too salty. The pork belly was not bad but I probably wouldn't order it again. The service was very quick and everyone there was very nice!

Always a great experience here!!!! Everything is great from the cucumber salad ,green beans,crispy fish or chicken with hot chiles, and don't forget the pork belly it's awesome!!!

Okay, this is one of those small strip center Chinese restaurants that is AMAZING!!! It isn't the usual lo mein or sweet & sour pork. We had the spicy cumin duck, Mongolian beef, king pao chicken... and the green beans (fantastic)! All traditional dishes had an interesting spin Will go make next time I'm in SAT!

Sichuan House has been in my radar for a while, so I was glad to finally savor some of their food. I can attest that it lives up to its high reputation. I ordered the "There's No Fish "Spicy Garlic" Eggplant", and sampled a friend's "Enlightened Fungi" , both flavored perfectly and served with steam rice. Portions were large enough "to share", as suggested in their menu, or for leftovers. Most of the meals can also be tailored to fit food preference or diet, with protein selections of tofu, fish, chicken, etc. As for the service and feel of the place, they were perfect. Hidden in a small strip mall, there is a hole in the wall feel to Sichuan House. Yet, the cleanly decorated interior, and outstanding service, elevate it to the ideal place for meeting friends or celebrating with family. Very worthy of a second and more visits.

This place is a hidden gym in the Ingram area. A clerk at the Lackland Commissary told me about it years ago and said it was his favorite. I was an instant fan on my first visit! The cold garlic noodles are an absolute must along with the green beans app! I also love the mushroom dish, forgot the name. Service is beautiful!

Simply the best meal I've ever had! Everyone rated their meal 10/10. We started with the green beans and chicken dumplings. The beans were fresh, flavorful, and delicious. Dumplings were just right. For main meal I ordered the mopu tofu. It was amazing and the best thing I've ever eaten in a restaurant! It was spicy, but flavorful soft but still had texture. It was enough to share with two others. Husband got the lamb love me or hate me cumin. He said it had the perfect amount of heat and very flavorful. The lamb was cooked just right. Kids ordered the Mongolian beef and there was nothing left. The only thing I wish was different was if they had a location in my home state! Service was great. The waitress knew her stuff and helped us order and she was right! She said she's worked there for years and that makes her smart! Ambiance is clean, and approachable. I hope they grow to more locations and never change their approach to delicious food!!

My boss recommended this place as the owner was her client. I initially have tasted their food in our office lunch and loved everything! Food is satisfactory! Very tasty, their Lo mein is delicious. I'll come back to this resto.

If I could give all the stars possible, I would. This place was awesome. We were visiting some friends who live in San Antonio. Initially we went back and forth on where to eat. They thought we might want to find a Tex-mex place or something more fancy but ultimately when we talked about a place they really enjoy every single time they go, it was unanimously here. So first of all... BYOB! How great is that?! We had some beers and wine that we were able to bring in. Our friends are very familiar with the menu and all the iterations of which proteins go best with certain dishes. So we differed to their recommendations. Truly I think we could have ordered anything and it would have been fast, fresh, and delicious. We didn't even order as many dishes as we hoped to but we got really full. There was a lamb dish we were supposed to have but I couldn't eat another thing. The order was placed and within minutes of that, out came the plates of food as they were ready. Food just kept on coming. It was a feast. We had the calamari, shrimp, chicken, pork, pork belly, beef, mushrooms, veggies, fried rice, noodles, fried dumplings. Everything was really flavorful and some of the best Asian food I've had in a while. Nom, nom, nom!

The food was very good, food came out fast and service was good! Overall we really enjoyed our visit and will go again
