Sichuan Impression

Sichuan Impression offers a convenient combo option where you simply choose from the set menu, and the food comes out incredibly fast. I’m guessing it’s because they prepare a lot of it in bulk, especially the fish dishes. The fish itself was tasty and well-seasoned, definitely the highlight of the meal. It’s not a “wow” or over-the-top dining experience, but for a quick, flavorful bite that hits the spot, it’s worth a solid 4 stars.

I had the Mother’s Day special combo and unfortunately, I was disappointed. I do appreciate the thoughtful touches—free drinks for moms (although they tasted quite artificial) and the Polaroid photos, which were a nice gesture. However, the food didn’t live up to expectations. The rice in the rice and rib dish was overly salty and soggy, as if it had been simmered in sauce for too long. The lamb wasn’t bad—definitely on the salty side compared to other places—but the seasoning and flavor were decent. The dry pot, though, was extremely salty and hard to enjoy. I’ve dined here several times before and usually love the food, which is why I chose this place for a Mother’s Day weekend lunch. Sadly, we were quite disappointed this time.

My favorite Chinese food spot. I drive from afar to enjoy the Cumin Lamb Stir Fry, and Chili Chicken Stir Fry. The plate is always empty at the end. Spicy and delicious!

The food is good, the toothpick Lamb is highly recommended. However no hot tea provided in a Chinese restaurant is kind of strange.

My mom is from Sichuan and this place has delicious and legit Sichuan food. It's affordable, portions are large, and pretty much everything was tasty. The key is to come with a few people to order more dishes, or you can always take it home for leftovers. I would come back.

First visit and was impressed with the tea smoked pork ribs and boiled fish (mild level selected for the broth). I found the service to be good and attentive. Will return to try other items on their menu

Our dining experience at this restaurant was otherwise average until the very end, when something happened that completely ruined our mood. We left a tip based on our assessment of the service and food, an amount we felt was appropriate. However, as we were preparing to leave, a staff member (perhaps a server or manager) brazenly approached our table, rudely pointed out that our tip was "not enough," and explicitly asked us for more money. This behavior was shocking and offensive! While tipping is customary in the US, it should always be a voluntary gesture based on the customer's satisfaction with the service, not an obligation that can be demanded or haggled over. For the staff to have the audacity to confront us and demand a larger tip was not only highly unprofessional but also made us feel extremely uncomfortable, disrespected, and even somewhat pressured. Regardless of the food quality, this kind of service attitude is unacceptable. We will absolutely not be returning to this restaurant and will warn our friends about this potential unpleasant experience. We hope the restaurant management addresses and rectifies this serious issue that negatively impacts the customer experience.，

Really delicious Sichuan food that is presented nicely and not overly spicy. Very popular spot on weekends. I went right when it opened on Saturday at 5pm and it quickly became packed with people. The food is great and pretty big portions with lots of options. Tasted authentic too, overall a great spot for Sichuan Chinese food.

I came here because I was craving dry pot. Im soo happy I went here because this place is delicious!! I got thi sspicy cut up chicken in chili oil sauce that was out of this world delicious. I also got the beef dry pot and sizzling squid dish. Sooo good and so spicy. Best dry pot in orange county!! will come back here --------------------- My Star Rating Scale: 5 Stars: Excellent--- Blew my mind, had a wow factor, will come back 4 Stars: Good--- I liked it but didn't love it, no wow factor, will still come back 3 Stars: Okay--- It was okay, I didn't hate it but didn't like it either; would not voluntarily come back 2 Stars: Bad--- I did not like it, I would not come back 1 Star: Horrible--- Absolutely hated it, I would not come back here

Delicious Sichuan food and fast service. You can only order using app so that took longer than expected. Too bad they don't offer analogue option. All three items we ordered were spicy and delicious, perfect for our palates. We will definitely come again!

Totally biased opinion but I adore this place! I've run up and down the menu, tried so many different dishes, and each one better than the last. I'm admittedly not cultured in sichuan cuisine. So many dishes though were well balanced, just the right amounts of spicy, salty, savory. Colorful dishes, varying textures. Crunchy cucumber and string beans, that tingling, numbing feeling from the peppercorn. Hot dishes, cold dishes, beef, lamb. Everything is delicious. Great thing too, just scan the QR menu and order directly on your phone. It tallies it up and assigns the check to the table on the browser. They're also generous on the to-go containers and have cool, re-usable lunch bags. I've had and re-used some of my Sichuan Impression bags for several years with no signs of degradation. This place is worth the drive if you're anywhere in southern california

This place gets packed on a weekend so I would recommend getting there right when it opened. It's fairly clean and they do a good job bussing the tables. The staff is friendly and helpful with answering questions. We ordered Stir-fried chili chicken, stir-fries beef with scallions, beef soup, and mapo tofu. Stir-fried Chili Chicken- This was packed with heat so be careful if your tolerance is on the low side. The chicken has plenty of flavor and tender. Stir-fried Beef with Scallions- This was spiced to perfection. The beef is soft and they give a generous amount of scallions. Beef Soup- This is a comforting dish for a cold day! Noodles have a good texture and the soup base has a mildness to it. They give plenty of tender beef to bulk it up. Mapo Tofu- This was a winner! The tofu has a silken texture and pairs well with the savory and spicy sauce. Every bite is bursting with flavor! Great place for authentic dishes!

Came here on weeknight evening to try out their spring menu. The last time I visited, this restaurant was probably over 10 years ago. Wanted to give it a try again. It was enjoyable at that time, but will not go back. We were disappointed with the small serving size of the spring menu entrees. It does not seem like the regular size and so between the four of us, we were still hungry and ordered two more dishes, which turned out to be a good size for us. Would recommend skipping their promotional menu items because their portions are a lot smaller. The dumplings were not impressive as the name says. There was barely any filling in it, and it was almost flat as a pancake. Left feeling unsatisfied in my stomach was not happy with me afterwards and the next day. Taking an anti-acid beforehand didn't help me. The service was severely lacking. I am accustomed to this type of service in many similar type restaurants, but this was not acceptable. Our waiter was dismissive and never came to offer anything and we had to flag down assistance for everything.

6/10 Wontons in Chili Oil- Super mid. The wontons were literally room temp/cold when they came out. They did not taste fresh either. 10/10 Mini Lamb Skewer- So freaking delicious! 10/10 Stir Fried Chili Chicken- I love this dish. 1000/10 Stir Fried Chili Pork Ribs- My favorite dish from the whole night. The pork just fell off the bones. YUM. 8/10 Ma-Po Tofu- Not bad. Nothing crazy to rave about. 9/10 Fried String Beans- A bit on the greasier side but nonetheless packed with flavor. 5/10 Homestyled Fried Rice- wow this has got to be the worst fried rice from a chinese restaurant I have ever had. Firstly, it's too spicy and secondly, it had such a lack of flavor. 10/10 Service: Great service on Chinese New Years. 8/10 Cost: I don't have the itemized receipt, but the total cost, including tip, came to $148. That averages out to about $21 per plate--not a bad price, especially considering the excellent quality of the food. Just don't get the fried rice! Lol

Boiled fish filet in chili sauce pot $23? 5/5! You can eat it without rice and it's still good. The veggies and protein I found was quite plentiful and one pot is enough for 3 people. It was spicy (2.5/5) and flavorful, with lots of fresh garlic to amp up the flavor. I found myself eating the veggies over the fish sometimes. Stir fried chili pork ribs $20 3.5/5 wasn't bad, much better when eaten with the stir fried garlic slices. I've made similar items at home so this wasn't too out of the ordinary Rice is $1.5 We got on the waitlist from home and headed out later :) helps beat the line. It's loud inside, but since you order off the phone it's not too difficult to get the things you want.

Yummy!!!!!!!! Love this place. The vibe, ambience, the food is all great. The servers are very nice and polite. You order food through a QR code, and they come out pretty quickly. You can choose mild spicy, which is perfect for our party since I cannot eat something too spicy. I would definitely recommend the restaurant, and I can't wait to go back again to try different food! Btw, the mochi taro dessert is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Must order!!!

Glad we tried it! Their sichuan food is very unique and we would come again. Their set up is pretty efficient and they have a QR code menu where you can place your order without having to flag down a waiter. They also have a Yelp waitlist as it can get full on the weekends. Got the: 1. String beans: 10/10, amazing delicious with scrumptious garlic and beef 2. Cucumbers: 10/10, so good! It's pickled and goes great with the garlic 3. Boiled Fish Filet: 8.5/10, very garlicky but only mildly spicy. It's also not as well proportioned as other restaurants. It's good but not what I expected 4. Couples sliced Beef: 9/10, really good, just needs a little more cilantro 5. Impressive Cold noodles: 8/10, actually surprisingly sweet, I works say it is more sweet and earthly than spicy 6. Rice is $1.50 per bowl Parking: large lot shared with other businesses in the strip mall

Came here for a group lunch again with my coworkers to celebrate another birthday. We tried SO much of the menu, and honestly everything was amazing. I'll try to list out everything I loved and tried. This place was very authentic. They didn't check on us too much, but service was decent. Things to try: Cold noodles (peanut), wontons in chili oil, fried rice, kung pao chicken, chili chicken, braised duck, boiled fish with rattan pepper. I may be missing a handful of items, the menu is so vast. Everything was so delicious. Most items are on the spicy side, so please watch out for that if you low tolerance to spice. We skipped the dessert since it did not look enticing. Very delicious! Plenty of parking in this old strip mall location.

If you're craving Szechuan, this is the place. We really enjoyed all the dishes we ordered. My favorite was the boiled fish filets in chili sauce. You order digitally through scanning a QR code. We got our food instantly as soon we ordered and the portions we ordered were perfect for a party of 4. There's lots of seating and we didn't have to wait for so long. Service was also great as they would check in on us from time to time.

I've always been scared to try Szechuan food bc of the tongue numbing spice but I've heard such amazing things about this place that i decided to give it a try and I'm glad i did! To a non spice eater i was surprisingly able to eat a lot of items here and nothing was over the top too spicy. Everything we got was pretty good but the beef noodle soup and boneless chili chicken were the stand out dishes. There's so much flavor in the noodle soup besides spice and i can see myself getting it regularly. The tea smoked ribs looked good but it came out kinda dry so i wouldn't order that again. Same with the map tofu - it didn't have much flavor but the tofu itself was really silky. Service was pretty good as well. They came by often to refill our waters and check in on us which was appreciated when things got too spicy. Would def come back to try more dishes and expand my palette here!

A good example of a highly rated establishment that actually lives up to the hype. Went there on a Sunday for lunch. As can be expected, they did have a slight wait. However, since I was solo, they were able to seat me in the bar area. I wanted to try something different this time, but familiarity won out and I had the spicy fish fillet dish with cabbage. This dish is full of flavor and is definitely spicy, if you like your soups and broths hot and spicy, this dish is for you. Plenty of fish and vegetables, this dish satisfied my taste buds. The servers are very nice people, who are always on the go. Nevertheless, you can flag them down and get what you need, The spicy crab dish looks like it might be a good choice. I'll try that the next time.

My friend and I visited at 7 PM on a Wednesday and waited about half an hour to be seated. There's plenty of parking available in front of the restaurant and in the adjacent business lots. We ordered the cumin lamb on toothpicks (even though lamb is my least favorite meat because of its gamey taste, I promise you won't notice it in this dish!) and the boiled fish with rattan pepper. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the fish dish, but I do remember it being much spicier when I last visited four years ago. This time, the spice level was much milder, and I doubt my spice tolerance has improved so it seems they've toned down the peppers. The soup accompanying the fish was still flavorful but mild. We also tried the juicy steamed chicken in chili sauce, which was delightful. The sauce paired perfectly with a bed of rice. If you're unfamiliar with Sichuan spice, the best way I can describe it is that sparkling, tingly sensation you'd feel after drinking soda--except encapsulated as a spice. It's a delicious, addictive spicy pain! If you're prone to sweating easily, be prepared to ask for napkins to wipe your sweat! Between my friend and I, the three dishes were more than enough to leave us full and satisfied. Overall, we'd happily return again!

So good! It could have been because it was better than expected or low expectations or just darn good. I'm going to say it was just darn good. The crowd kept coming in as we enjoyed an early dinner. The staple items we ordered exceeded our expectations. The spicy level was actually spicy to us. I will be coming back for more!

Yea this spot is good, don't get me wrong. Doesn't taste "Michelin rated" though. Tastes like a Chinese restaurant trying to conform to an American palate. Understandable

Finally made it here last week for lunch and ordered enough food for 2 adults! 1) spicy & sour fish soup - mala flavor 2) cumin lamb skewers / good 3) stir fry potato strips - this was delicious!! 4) white rice x 3 5) cold rice noodles salad appetizer - yum 6) pork belly and leek stir fry - not enough meat! Everything was spicy and tasty, your tongue will be numb and must drink lots of water. Would come back in future to try some other dishes!

Delicious and SPICY! Perfect heat. Super flavorful. Makes your nose run. Numbs you tongue and burns your lips. But only lasts for 10-15 seconds. Perfect. Everything is great. Service spot on. Food delivered quickly. Great spot coming here many more times.

Flavors were popping off!! Each dish definitely had their own unique taste to it. I'd pass on the cucumbers, it wasn't as refreshing as I'd hoped it'd be. The boiled fish and green beans were my favorite dishes. The lamb skewers were cumin-y and the peppers were spicy. The cold peanut noodles is yummy and not too heavy.

My cousin invited me to this place for our annual get together. This place is spacious and well lit with just enough room to walk. There's a QR code on the table to place your order. Her husband said this is the most original Sichuan food that he was able to find. She ordered an entire table of plates and this place is known for its spicy food. I was sweating on the first plate of bamboo. It was good but way too spicy for my body to handle. There were a few items that were not spicy like the Eggs and Tomatoes and Kung Pao Chicken. Most of the spicy items have the option for no spicy. Overall, this place has good food and good customer service. The bathroom was clean and had a nice fragrance. I'm just realizing how important the presentation and smell of the bathroom has on your experience as well. I definitely recommend going here.

Visited Sichuan Impression in Tustin hoping for that signature bold and spicy Sichuan kick, but unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark for me. The dishes lacked the heat and deep flavor that you'd expect from authentic Sichuan cuisine. While the food was decent enough, it felt a bit toned down and underwhelming in terms of spice and taste. That being said, if you live nearby and are looking for a convenient spot for some mild Sichuan food, it's a solid option for a quick bite. The service was good, and the ambiance was nice, but for a true spicy Sichuan experience, this wouldn't be my first choice. TLDR; Worth it if you're local, but not the destination for spice lovers!

So delicious! Tastes exactly like the street-side skewers from my hometown. The ingredients are fresh, and there's a wide variety of snacks (the ice jelly and white fungus dessert are a must-try!). I love it so much--I'm definitely coming back next week with my foodie buddy!

Still one of my favorite spicy Chinese restaurants in OC/LA. Their food is finely prepared with layers of spice and umami flavors. They have added a lot of new dishes over the years. I'm so happy they got yet another Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition 2023. Our favorite dishes are: Toothpick Lamb Stir Fried Chilli Chicken Dry Pot Shrimp Dry Pot Beef (New) Boiled Fish fillet in Chilli sauce Mao Cai Twice Cooked Pork Kid Friendly Dishes that my kid loves: Home Styled Fried Rice Qiao Jiao Beef Soup of Lehan (without the chilli) Stir fried Beef with Scallions Yummy Comfort Food: "Street Food" Potato Strips Impressive Cold Noodles MaPo Tofu (for vegetarians, you can ask them to cook it without meat) Service is also friendly and thoughtful. They often give us napkins, prompt with our requests, and chat with us in a very friendly way. They are having a OC Restaurant Week Special right now, which allows a tasting of several different dishes family style, which we really enjoyed! We get to try some new dishes that we don't usually order and find them very good too. Overall, highly recommend!

Delicious! I'm always excited to come here because all the dishes are so flavorful. The fried squid dry pot said it would come with lotus root (under item description) but I didn't see any in our dish. Lotus root would've added a nice crunch. If you come with a larger party, I would recommend the boiled fish. Even as a group of 4, we had lots of leftover because we wanted to try other dishes.

Had a really strong craving for spicy food that would numb my mouth so we DoorDashed from Sichuan Impression. Although I'm sad that I could still feel my mouth after, the food was still really good. The food quality and flavor were overall high and I'm glad they have this as an option here in the OC. Definitely would give this place another try at the restaurant and ask them to make everything spicier

place is quite spacious with great ambiance. staffs are nice and attentive. for foods, i will say all great: 1. green beans: crunchy and love the way they cut the garlic 2. roasted duck: absolutely recommended ~ so so good and not oily 3. mini lamb skewer: absolutely recommended ~ my favorite!!! 4. a chai / chinese broccoli: just ok 5. sichuan fish: must try and should eat while still hot 6. boiled fish with rattan pepper: also recommended but i prefer the red one i wish i can go back again someday. no plan open it in north california??? lol...

Want to try a @michelinguide restaurant without breaking the bank? Check out @sichuan_impression_ Located at 13816 Red Hill Ave, Tustin, CA 92780 They are currently running a spring meal deal special that is only available until March 28, 2025! For only $78 you're able to experience a 5 course meal that can feed 3-4 people! We came here right at opening for lunch time and the restaurant was already starting to get full so make sure to arrive early or put your name down on the @yelp waitlist! As a part of the five course meal we ordered the pickled cucumber, kung pao chicken, impressive dumplings, stir fried beef with scallions, and the tea smoked pork ribs! Everything was absolutely amazing and we had so much leftovers. I absolutely would recommend taking advantage of this special before it's over.

Amazing service every time I come here. The wait tends to be at least 30-40 minutes if not more so get on the waitlist via Yelp as soon as you plan to go out lol. These are our all time fav. Enjoy!

1. The bean jelly had a thick shape yet a soft texture! The rib meat fell off the bones so easily! The boiled fish broth was well-made and spicy! 2. The spot has cozy-casual vibes! 3. There are plenty of indoor seatings! 4. The staff were friendly and attentive! 5. Parking lot is huge! Note: You will place your order by scanning a QR from your phone! You have the option to pay on your phone, but they can still bring a machine for you to pay by card!

I feel like this place serves very authentic Sichuan food. I always go for the mapo tofu and the steamed pork with rice flour, and they never disappoint. The flavors are incredible. I haven't been adventurous enough to try more dishes since a rabbit dish we tried years ago, but I still highly recommend this spot for anyone who loves bold, flavorful food. I did run into a small issue when placing a Grubhub order. My plans changed, and I tried to ask if the pickup time could be adjusted, but it seemed like the staff didn't fully understand my request. Unfortunately, the food was made earlier than I could pick it up and was cold and sitting out for a bit. So, just a heads-up that communication might be a bit tricky in some cases.

I've been to all 3 Sichuan impression locations and this is probably my least favorite. We waited 30 minutes for our whole order to arrive and what was baffling was, that they gave us all our dishes and the rice dish last so we had to wait for it before really digging into our food. The restaurant was quite busy on a given Saturday and I wish I knew beforehand that yelp waitlist is provided ( one pro ) but the experience and wait time really made the whole experience very unpleasant and our dining experience and time much longer than it needed to be. The lamb was not hot and tasted like it was out for a while and the chili fish was watered down more than what I was used to. As mentioned, the rice dish came last and so we were waiting for everything before starting to eat our meal together... don't think I'll be back to this location.

The good is really nice! We ordered some spicy ones and greatly enjoyed them. I hope the restaurant can provide more eco-friendly and sustainable options for water/drink containers. I was shocked when I went in to only see everyone gets a plastic container.

The food did not seem to be authentic Sichuan cuisine because of the lack of the Sichuan peppercorn in all of the dishes. The flavor of the Steamed Pork in Rice Flour was very different from any of the dishes that I had in Chengdu when I went. The green beans and the kungpao chicken were good, but once again, they did not have any Sichuan peppercorn, which is the signature of all Sichuan dishes. I wouldn't say that the chef is from the Sichuan area, maybe they are trying to replicate the flavors. This is decent Chinese food, but not sure it should be labeled as Sichuan food.

I loved: $24 Boiled White fish I really liked: $15 Fried String Beans + $23 Lamb skewers + $10 Impressive Bean Jelly + $41 Braised whole Sea Bass + $23 Fried Squid Dry Pot + Incredible #goodeats but so spicy! Clearly I liked the less spicy stuff but even so, you can tell everything here uses high quality ingredients. I'd say it's 90% as good as in China itself which is honestly impressive. Service is expected for an Asian resturant. You absolutely have to flag a waiter down. You will feel ignored if you don't do so. Same for the noise level. It's a bunch of Asian people loudly talking. We got there at 11:30 and there was plenty of seating but as soon as 12:15 rolled around, there was a wait list.

I came here with several work colleagues and all I had to do was show up and eat. My colleague took care of ordering for the table and she made good selections. Some of the items were Tea Smoke Pork Ribs, Toothpick Mutton, Smoked Duck, Fried Green Beans and pureed pork. The food was good, the service was good enough and they had a table big enough to accommodate all of us. Four stars!

Pretty authentic sichuan food! They have plenty of options to choose, from dry pots to soups to stir fried food items! If you can't eat spicy food it is okay too, there are plenty of entrees that are not very spicy or spicy at all. The portions are also very generous! * Mini Lamb Skewers 4.5/5- lamb meat was tender and seasoned well * Boiled beef in chili sauce 5/5- good spicy level and had both meat and veggies. pairs super well with rice and is something that i order every single time that I have visited this store. * Plenty of parking spaces and seating available. You can also check in on yelp ahead of time to avoid any wait time.

Sichuan Impression in Tustin sits unassumingly towards the corner of an old plaza in the Tustin/Red Hill area. What you wouldn't know passing by that this family restaurant was honored with a Michelin Bib Gourmand (the Alhambra location)! The interior is clean, spacious, and even festive in the new year - they had 2024 balloons up on the wall. The servers are friendly and service quick, but the ordering and payment process is done through your phone so bring your devices charged. The menu has a diverse array of offerings that bring the heat - ranging from ginger boiled frog to tea smoked duck and even rabbit. For those less adventurous with their proteins, they also offer delicious classics (both traditional and American-tailored). From my first visit, every dish sampled was fantastic: The Kung-Pao Chicken was cooked to tender perfection with a rich, savory sauce that had a strong kick that enhanced the chicken rather than overpower it. The Dry Fried String Beans were also phenomenal with little bits of salty, peppery beef incorporated. Finally, the Home-Style Fried Rice, which included capsaicin, beef, and fluffy eggs, rounded out the rich flavors nicely. You'll come for bold flavors, cooked with great balance (I am particularly excited for the cauldron of fish filet in golden broth), and you will leave full and satisfied but for the fact that you wish you could order more. Consider me Impressed!

This Sichuan restaurant is amazing, especially their beef noodles. Must try! And ending the meal with a bowl of iced jelly (bingfen) is simply perfect. The food is served fast, and the service is excellent. Highly recommended and I'll definitely come back to try more !

One of my regular restaurants, I've had some not so good dishes but there are some real bangers. As a bonus, the restaurant is also on Jonathan Gold's 100 places to eat before you die. Recommend starting the yelp waitlist before you drive over and save yourself the wait time! Dishes I love: - Cumin lamb with scallions (the other really popular one is the mutton toothpick, which is also good, but I love scallion so that's where I go) - Mao Cai (savory soupy goodness, filled with variety veggies and thinly sliced meat) Dishes I like: - shredded potato salad - wonton chili oil - impressive noodles - fish with rattan Avoid this dish: Steamed Pork ribs with rice flour Tea smoke pork ribs (beautiful in photos but ours was dry, I've never tried it again) Service is okay, you might find yourself chasing someone down. The vibes is very much that they occupied a pre-existing place and never bothered to renovate; feels authentic haha.

Wow!! This was easily the best sichuan restaurant I've gone to in OC. I had a chance to try it out for lunch and I can't wait to come back and try something new Ambience: It's lively in the restaurant and it's a great place to go with a big group. Family style is definitely the move here. There's plenty of tables and I was seated in about 5 mins. Service: The service was amazing. I ordered through the QR code and the food came out soon after that. The staff is fast and efficient, which I love. Food Consensus: The menu was very overwhelming for me. There were so many options and I had no idea what I wanted. My friend and I opted for the cold impression noodles, stir-fried chili pork ribs, and shrimp fried rice. They were all amazing and each dish was packed with flavor. The noodles with the pork was a fantastic combo and the shrimp fried rice was good. Value for Money: The prices are great considered that everything is meant for sharing. The portion sizes are huge and the food is tasty.

Went there this Friday night and it was packed! I'm not surprised since this place is also packed with flavor! You ordered the food from scanning the QR code, and you can place the order via your phone! It was very convenient. We ordered their signature smoked ribs, which is so tender and the meat fall right off the bone. The other dish we ordered is the fish with pickled vegetables. I'm so surprised by the large portion, they are at least 8-10 pieces of fish fillet in there. I really enjoyed the 2 dishes I ordered and will come back for more! This place can host large group, but I'll recommend come earlier if you can since it gets fully seated by 6:30 on a Friday night!

This is definitely a delayed review because up until now, we've already gone twice. Love it here, the liveliness, the efficient and speedy service, and the atmosphere it brings to a large group you come with. First time was a different crowd that went with me and my boyfriend. My boyfriend is Taiwanese so he tries to find us the good spots for authentic Chinese/Taiwanese food. This was one of his favorite. We didn't order too spicy since the group was foreign to the food. Majority of us are Vietnamese, one Filipino, and him as the only Taiwanese guy. I say this because each culture comes with different spices and flavors to be brought to the table and that plays different tongue on taste. We all enjoyed the food for the most part. There was a dish that had a bit of a vinegar taste to it with fish (a soup dish) that we all were pretty much ok with. The other dishes were phenomenal! Loved how flavorful each dishes are and everything is ordered on the app so no need to know Chinese to communicate to the workers here. Second time was with his family and the spicy level was revved up. I love spicy and very much enjoyed it. Definitely going to come here more often. They are very busy and before they opened for dinner, there was already a small crowd lined up to be seated.

Food: authentic sichuan cuisine with nice presentation. Vibrant color makes ppl salivate just by looking at them. Well balanced taste. Spice do not overpower ingredients. You can still taste the freshness and quality of them. Ambiance: simple, clean and welcoming setup with Chinese decors. Open siting and good space between each table. Service: good. 2 ways to order food, ordering through QR code from its menu or through server if one is available. Attentive but only 2-3 server depending on time of the day.

This place is incredible and offers bold sichuan flavors for its patrons. Whenever I am in the area I make sure to visit this place as the food is to die for. The restaurant feels very family style when you walk in and and staff is all very friendly when serving you. Ordering is done via QR scan menus but all of the food comes out very quickly. My personal recommendations are their: Mapo Tofu, Original Kung Pao Chicken, and Mini Lamb Skewers!

1. Fish filet in chili oil (水煮魚) - 10 2. Mapo tofu - 8 3. Stir fried chili chicken - 9 4. Chicken fried rice - 5 This place has super yummy Sichuan food. The fish in chili oil is a must try- it's super garlicky and has great numbing spice flavor. I also really like the stir fried chili chicken as it is crispy and spicier than other dishes. Definitely recommend for good Sichuan Chinese food!

I ordered takeout from them tonight, as I'm a regular customer and often get takeout from them. However, I didn't expect the Kung Pao Chicken to be so disappointing this time. It was obvious that the dish had been sitting for a long time and seemed like leftovers that didn't sell. The peanuts in the dish hadn't been stir-fried at all, making them taste soft and stale, and the chicken wasn't fresh either. It was just terrible.

The food at Sichuan Impression is fantastic. I liked it so much the first day, I had to bring the family back the next day. The Garlic shredded pork, boiled fish fillets in chili sauce were a standout, it's clear the kitchen knows what they're doing. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. On two separate visits, I noticed servers helping other tables pack their leftovers, but not ours. it felt dismissive, especially since it seemed like a standard courtesy for everyone else. we were treated like 2nd class citizens. To make matters worse, when we asked the for check, the server brought over a charged card machine with a total already entered instead of providing a bill. it was unprofessional leaving us with questions about the breakdown of our charges. The amazing food keeps me from rating this lower, but the service definately needs improvement. Attention to detail and consistency in customer treatment would make this place truly exceptional.

I tried to ask a waiter about an issue I had ordering online (I was trying to see whether or not my order actually went through because I never got a confirmation email) and I was brushed off rudely. So I re-ordered at the kiosk and my number wasn't called for over 20 minutes. Walked up to the pickup counter and my meal had already been ready for some time. At the very least, their Mapo Tofu was good.

Having been to this place like twice. First time, everything was perfect, food was great, servers were ok and price was reasonable. The second time 8 of us had lunch at this place, the server told us in advance that they charge 20% of the tips while there are more than a party of 6. We were fine with this, however there was no service at all, i have to go to the counter myself to ask the waiter to fill some water for us, and on their counter, there were ready poured water in the disposable cup, and the server suggested that i can take one myself. Normally you get good tips for your good services. What's the point of charging us 20% tips while there was low/no service at all. It was just like a robbery. I love the food there, i hope they can improve the service if they still want to charge customers a good 20% tips.
