Sichuanese Cuisine

Great food - lots of garlic and we asked for extra. Super friendly and answered questions about the sauces. Hot and sour soup was WITHOUT pork. Atmosphere isn't bad but it's a Chinese restaurant. The food is excellent, but the decor won't win an award.. If you are into ambience, this isn't the place.. You go here for great food.

Overall Rating - 8/10 🍜Food - 8/10 The food is all very good, nothing life changing, but very solid and good. I can’t think of anything bad to say about the food. I have been coming here for a long time and there are a few things specific I would come for, the Dan Dan Noodles and the Pepper Chicken or Tofu. The sesame chicken is also quite good as the pieces are smaller so you don’t have to deal with these giant pieces, I personally love the smaller pieces. 👩‍🦼‍➡️Accessibility 8/10 It is quite accessible, the restaurant is all ground level, there is a curb to get up to the restaurant but I think there is a ramp. The parking is also right in front. There is no loud music so it is quite calm, there is some yelling from the kitchen but that is all quite normal lol. 🧑‍🍳Service 9/10 The service is fantastic, the food comes out instantly. The staff is very kind and attentive. 🍽️Ambiance 7/10 As mentioned above there is no music so it is a little quiet, it may be awkward for some but personally it is fine. 🚗Parking 8/10 There is parking right in front, it is a little tight, but right it free and right in front so it is worth it. 💵Price 8/10 Very fairly priced!

Agree with other reviews, a remodel would be good 😅 outside of that, service was great, food was delicious, and prices 👌🏻. Looking forward to coming here again.

Spicy pepper chicken not so spicy but good, 8/10 Scallion pancake was ok, 2/10 but the restaurant owner tried it and said it was traditional from chengdu and very good. Service was 10/10 and the person that waited on us said come back for the hot pot.

This is my very most favorite Chinese food restaurant in the world, really. I've been eating here since 1999. The staff knows me very well, and over the years at various times they've treated me like family. The restaurant is family owned, and it shows. The food is excellent. The prices are very reasonable. And the people are genuinely awesome. Eat here. As often as you can. Everything here is as good as it gets.

I was craving some Chinese food & came across this place & I’m glad that I did! The first time I visited I just ordered the pepper chicken, which is probably one of the best versions I’ve ever tasted. The crispiness to it was on point & it was cooked very well. I believe it’s their signature dish & what they’re known for? The second time I stopped by I got the pepper chicken again, along with the mongolian beef & combination fried rice (with no pork). Everything was delicious! Also, the ladies there are always extremely nice & sweet! Great customer service.

This feels like a hidden gem? The food and service were good. We had complimentary hot tea, hard to enjoy on a warm day but welcomed. I ordered the garlic eggplant, water boiled fish, and one of the lamb dish that had onions. Everything came out so delicious and as I expected from previous sichuanese restaurant experiences. The food is served family style on a large plate with one serving spoon. It can be difficult to eat the food with chopsticks as it gets oily real quick but they provide a spoon upon request. I would love to come back as often as possible if I were closer. It's also pretty affordable for the amount of food received.

Did a togo order from here. Very nice food, good packaging and I am in love with the tofu dishes. Will definitely go there for dine in.

You will not find better Sichuanese food anywhere. A variety of fabulous dishes bursting with the best flavor and spiced to your liking. Their Hot/Sour Soup is the best I've ever tasted. Dried green beans, garlic eggplant, thick chow mein noodles, bok choy, egg rolls, dumplings, Mandarin fish....all of the dishes are fresh and amazing. The staff are gracious and kind, most are family. The facility/ambiance is older and needs updated and this is scheduled to occur within the next month or two. Word is out and they have a thriving "takeout" business. This is our favorite restaurant for family outings and entertaining guests.

Ordered Combination Chow Mien and Shichuan Steamed fish. Chow Mien used noodles for great bounce and texture. The dish was properly coated in enough oil but lack a bit of flavor. The fish was REALLY soft and was really bouncy. Also had great aromatics but a bit salty. Service was chill. Very quick to the point. 10-11 4 tops and 2 2tops. Food is good. Chow Mien being less flavored is fine. It's supposed to be a sharable dish. The fish is too salty and almost borderline under. 3.5/5

Our final night in the city and Chinese came to mind. Help Yelp! Find me Szechuan, quick. We had to hunt to find it but it pulled down a solid 4 stars, so, in we go. Good call, even though we found the table a bit sticky and overall the joint could've been cleaner. They serve a delicious Pepper Chicken. Crunchy where it should be, juicy and perfectly spiced. Their Broccoli with Garlic sauce maybe the best in Seattle. Again, they use a decent amount of spice without overstating. If you're a pork eater, try the Twice Cooked Pork. It's outstanding. Not only was everything we tasted wonderful, the service was fast and efficient, too. The ladies are wonderful and very inviting. The cost is more than reasonable with great portions.

This place is the most authentic Sichuan Food we ever had, the consistency of the taste never changes. The Mandarin Spicy Fish is the best of the best! The dry cooked bean also very good and flavorful. Every time when we go back to Seattle, we always go to this place to have a meal! The food is amazing. The space is very small, but the food is so good!

This place is a gem of a restaurant being open on Lunar New Year. Although the kitchen was so busy pumping out take out and dine in orders, the staff was attentive, prompt, and very friendly. There's a home-y atmosphere where you know the food is gonna be good when you walk in. The food took a little while to come out because of how busy the kitchen was, but was well worth the wait. We ordered a huge variety of food and although I could have use more Sichuan spice, I was happy with the level of spice and flavor of each of the dishes. If I could recommend a few to try out: ma po dou fu, the green beans, chili fried tofu, and the boiled fish.

Best Chinese in Seattle in an unexpectedly shady spot! This place is off the hook, so good. The cilantro chicken will blow your mind.

Taste: **** Presentation: ** Cleanness : ** Service: ** Ambiance : **** Cost: $$ This little restaurant hiding in the edge of ID serves incredible Chinese food. The taste is pretty authentic feeling like eating at home. The whole team is composed by uncles and aunties. Even tho I can tell they don't invest effort in cleanses , table and chairs are sticky with not well cleaned tablewares. However some of my friends feeling they are eating at home because of the welcoming service by the aunties. Do not expect high quality table service. But the ambiance is very nice and cozy. I see so many Togo orders came in during rush hour I guess because of the portion is big and price is average $2-3 dollars lower than other Chinese restaurants.

Great boiled fish, incredible greens. Missed that last star because their Dan Dan noodles just did not impress me. Like Jiff on Top Ramen. To people giving bad reviews bc the chow mein is bad? I wouldn't go to a Chicago pizza joint and order chicken and waffles if you get me? China os a big place, and Sichuanese Cuisine does down home Sichuan.

Hands down the best Chinese food in Seattle. Proof: I once ordered 3x Szechuan cold noodle to take with me on a work retreat in case I didn't like the food there. The noodles are perfectly al dente, swimming in a bath of spicy sauce. I'm getting hungry writing this. I used to be a regular here; the employees are very kind and quickly learned my order. Food is always ready fast whether dining in or taking it to go. I highly recommend sitting down to enjoy the space and have a cup of tea with your meal.

The outside surrounding area is sketchy, but don't let that deter you from coming here since the food is legit. The interior is small and a bit cramped with about 8 dining tables. Ordered the following: Couple's beef - good flavor but too salty, good assortment of thin sliced beef shank, tendon and tripe Kung pao chicken - chicken has good flavor and sauce is good, not used to having stir fried cabbage added into this dish Sichuan spicy pot - great flavor, the sauce is spicy and delicious, has a nice green peppercorn fragrance, good assortment of beef, fish, tripe, and pork intestines Sichuanese boiled fish - delicious, same flavor and sauce as the Sichuan spicy pot but only has fish Sin kiang lamb (aka cumin lamb) - tasty and great cumin flavor, lamb is tender Deep cooked potato - potato is flavorful and has a good crunch Stir-fried Chinese greens - simple, sautéed vegetable with garlic, nothing special Mapo tofu - sauce is spicy, delicious and has a nice green peppercorn fragrance, tofu is delicately mixed in and good Hot beef chow mein - lots of chili flakes in the dish, tasted OK, not my favorite Items I would order again: sin kiang lamb, deep cooked potato, Sichuanese boiled fish, Sichuan spicy pot, mapo tofu Heard the pepper chicken, dried cooked string beans, and crispy tofu are good and would like to try these items next time I order from here.

Shocked at the high reviews of this place? I thought it sucked. The fried dumplings were unappetizing to me - it had some sort of really strong flavor (maybe mint? It was weird). The mandarin spicy chicken was ok, but honestly was not great. The hot beef chow mein had a really nasty after taste with each bite. Really regretted my decisions here. I did take out, but everything was packaged nicely and portions were large which was a plus (if I enjoyed the food).

My food was spot on. So was my partners. The interior for sure needs more love and care, but we made it just fine. It only made getting a decent photo hard without the mess in the background. I'll probably just order To go next time. But hey, there is a small parking lot in front so that helps. I really appreciate their selection and how well they prepare the items. The flavors were well balanced. They also didn't over do the chilis in my boiled fish which always ends up being wasted. The vegetables were fresh and even came in a sauce that paired very well with the rice. I could have eaten the rice and veggies as a snack alone. Now I will say if you're looking for that ridiculous heat, it's not here, which is perfect for me.

Food is delish, location isn't the greatest. Pepper chicken is crunchy and lasts well with boiled fish. Boiled fish was priced the lowest we've ever seen. We love our boiled fish and try it every chance we get! Ambience is ok. But price is reallly good. Ladies are hardworking and nice. Service is quick.

Szechuan food has been a recent favorite of ours which is why we were disappointed that we wouldn't have a good one near us. The quantity is certainly not the issue. We had plenty of food that we got a few meals from. That being said the flavor just wasn't there. It don't have the signature tingle of Szechuan, the spice, or the umami. I'm not sure how it was either since the eggplants were soaked in sauce and they gave us so much sauce for the tofu that I wasn't sure if they just gave us a soup instead. The tofu sauce was super thin and watered down. Additionally I'm pretty sure we picked up a bit of food poisoning that meal which is never fun. While the atmosphere was so so, but it's not something I usually care much about at a Szechuan place. The service on the other hand was good; quick and friendly. Maybe it was just an off day for them but it didn't impress us.

oily vegetable chow mein (only a sparce amount of cabbage?? not even carrots or onions?), bland sesame chicken and they forgot my white rice :)

My favorite Chinese food joint in all of Seattle. I order the pan fried dumplings and Mongolian beef here religiously. There is nothing glamorous about this place but the ownership of this restaurant is authentic and if you can get past the hectic activities occurring on 12th and Jackson then I would kindly invite you to try the food here.

Nice flavorful food. Love how spicy hot they make their dishes at this place. Their location is not the best in town but it's worth a visit definitely.

This is my first time visiting the Seattle Sichuanese location. I've been to going to Redmond location, for many years. Dating back to my Microsoft days. It's always been a favorite of mine. I love their great authentic food. I am glad to see both locations offer the same quality.

Can't go wrong with the PEPPER CHICKEN and PEA VINE Best Asian hole-in-the-wall place.

I ordered via Postmates . I got the spicy sichuan chicken and the spicy green beans. The food arrived warm and the flavor was great. Unfortunately, the chicken contained multiple chunks of gristle and bone, and a hair which really put me off. I won't be ordering again.

Our neighbor spot went out of business so decided to venture out to CID for some good food - this place was great. We did take out and the service was quick and accurate! Can't speak much to the ambiance as I was in and out, but looked clean and inviting with ample parking to maneuver quickly.. Great new (for us) neighborhood spot

Most authentic Sichuanese food I've had in Seattle so far! Tucked away into a plaza near Little Saigon, the numbing spice will have you feeling warm even on a rainy Seattle day. Some of my favorite dishes are the Mapo Tofu and Couple's Beef (Fuqi Feipian 夫妻肺片 in Mandarin). This is a place I'd even bring my Chinese immigrant parents to, and that's the highest of compliments I can give!

Incredible food! Hands down the most delicious Chinese food in the city. I've dined here dozens of times and every time the food was stellar. The service is great, so friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere/environment is not fancy, but with food this amazing I couldn't care less. I love this restaurant! You will too!! Go now! Don't wait a minute longer!!

I walked in to pick up my order to see 2 pans of cooked noodles resting on the trash bins. It was disturbing and I thought about not picking up my order but I proceeded. Unfortunately, the cashew chicken lacked flavor, was very oily, and had lots of chewy pieces. I felt unsettled with the dish and cleanliness of the restaurant and ended up tossing it.

I am so happy we went here for food! It was legit Chinese style fast-food that reminded my of NYC. It was perfect! We ordered the sweet-n-sour chicken, kung PAO chicken, pot stickers, and steamed rice. So good! Yes I would go back in a heart beat!

Hands down the best little Sichuan joint in Seattle. The small dining room has faded but just ignore that- the food is everything of the highest quality. My favorites are ma pao tofu, dry cooked chicken with string beans, Mandarin fish, & my kid's honey walnut shrimp which isn't exactly classic Sichuanese but it's delicious! And the pea vines- all day long

A small and friendly restaurant with great Chinese food. I like the paintings on the walls! Miyazaki fans don't miss that! We came here at Saturday afternoon around 7, 1/3 of the tables were taken already. We had deep fried string beans, vegetarian mapo tofu and pepper chicken, all were so tasty! And everything served fast! Especially the string beans, it was full of wok hay (if you're Cantonese you'd know), highly recommended! Mapo tofu was tender and soft, it was savory yet not too spicy and numbing, good with a bowl of white rice. Pepper chicken has been always my go-to dish when going to a Sichuan restaurant. Chicken was perfect bite size and super crispy, I could just eat it as snack. Different from China, most of pepper chicken (and other Chinese meat dishes) in the States use boneless meat, it was convenient to eat for sure, but less fun to eat at some certain point. The price was decent and food portion was big, we were so full but still have enough food left for next meal! Overall, this is a good place and I'll definitely come back to try more dishes!

Did I really not review this place yet? Really good spicy and authentic Sichuan cuisine...been going here for years. I love places where asking what level of spiciness is not a thing! My favorite is the spicy boiled fish. Atmosphere is nothing fancy and dishes look home cooked...but really good food...not sure I had anything here I didn't like. Recommended fully!

I strongly recommend three dishes in this restaurant, cold beef, mapo tofu, and shredded cabbage. These three dishes are really good. Although it was my first time there, I don't know if you will like these three dishes. These three dishes are dishes that we Chinese like very much.

The food is tasty and hot, comes out quickly, and the service is efficient and friendly. W enjoyed the spicy deep fried tofu, spicy eggplant, and shui Zhu yu. Areas for improvement: ambiance. The inside is so dirty. Not the plates or utensils, but the walls, the backs of the chairs, the windows all need a scrub and degreasing. The art in the walls needs to be removed from the cardboard and plastic wrappers (!!). They could use a storage cabinet with closed doors to hide the inventory that is currently just piled up on the side of the dining room. In short, good food, but don't bring a date.

I love this place. I live right around the corner. The food is fantastic, and the service is great. Very friendly. Easy to order online for pickup or delivery. They make the best Mapo tofu in Seattle, and the hot beef chow main is another favorite of mine. Give this place a try. -Marty

Great authentic Szechuan food! They have updated hours than from Yelp. Open until 9:30pm everyday Highly recommend these 4 items: Snow pea leaves - sautéed with garlic, great texture and flavor Pepper chicken - spicy popcorn chicken but less breading and more chicken! Pepper tofu - spicy fried tofu cubes Broiled fish - a soupy dish with smooth and tender fish fillets

We had the mandarin spicy chicken and scallion pancakes. Both were perfect. Jarringly kind customer service. This place is the spot.

I don't care what anyone says - they have the best chow mein in town. The green beans, the lamb - all delicious. Service is fine - you're not going there for service or ambience. the charm is impeccable. ;)

My boyfriend and I made the drive over here to pick up takeout. We ordered the shredded tofu, the string beans, hot and sour soup, and a dish of chilled noodles. The shredded tofu is by far my favorite thing followed by the string beans. The hot and sour soup was different from what I know hot and sour soup to be so I wasn't crazy about it. The noodles were not my favorite, but my boyfriend loved them. I'd definitely come again.

Love the mapo tofu and assorted vegetables. Good low key hole in the wall type place. Nice server.

No photos - we chowed down right away. We've been coming here for years and it never disappoints. Delicious and affordable, as always. So glad they survived the pandemic and Seattle's horrible lack of enforcing any kind of laws in the Chinatown / ID. The potstickers are available steamed or fried and are great. Pea vines in season - yum. Oodles of as spicy as you please Sichuanese dishes - just order away. Hot Pot is popular here too. The key takeaway imo is just go if you're in the mood. Totally worth it.

Excellent food and service in a small, unassuming restaurant. You can't go wrong with any dish, but don't miss the string beans!

I really enjoyed the food and I went in here on a Saturday around noon. I ordered the Mandarin Spicy Chicken and Steamed White Rice. I took it home and enjoyed it as I live just a block away and now that there's a well defined police presence stationed nearby the questionable characters aren't loitering so I feel comfortable becoming a regular here. I will definitely be back in the future!

Best Sichuan food I have had in the U.S! I'm from New York, and just pass by this restaurant, but it is really amazing !

I've been coming here for quite awhile and this the first time ive had bad food. I came in with a friend and we both ordered food to go. We got back to my place and were eating our food was overpoweringly sweet and overly spicy even for Szechuan. I asked my friend how his was and he had the same complaint. We ended up throwing away over $100.00 in food. Total waste of food and money.

Great food, quick service and casual ambience to enjoy the food. They serve wide range of menus. I love their Sichuan boiled fish, cumin beef (not present in the menu, but if you ask, they will prepare), stir fried green bean, eggplant in garlic sauce and so many other items. I find the service is very fast and attentive. Server fills up the glass often and happily answers the questions if being asked. Highly recommended for all.

So many vegan options! Their clear tofu soup with vegetables was so comforting and hearty!

I used to come here years ago for the dumplings. I don't know why I stopped. I hadn't been here in several years. I attended a pot luck with my friends who I play Mahjong with once a month. We celebrated Chinese New Year with hot pot. One of the ladies brought a fish & tofu stew as a side dish. I tasted it and was in heaven! It was so delicious. I had 3 helpings! I was told that it came from this restaurant. I decided that I was going to stop in on my way home to buy some for dinner to take home. I did stop in, ordered the stew and called the husband to put on a pot of rice. I was bringing home dinner. The rice was done when I got home. I presented the fish & tofu dish to the husband he was quite excited to try this new dish. Just as I thought, he loved it! By the time I got hungry a few hours later I added more peanuts to the stew. It was the bomb! I will definitely return for more!

After traveling a few months without a nice home cooked Chinese meal, I ventured over to international district to try some Sichuanese cuisine. I was very highly impressed with many of the dishes here. I highly recommend eating here is your are looking for a home cooked meal. We had the green beans, ma-po tofu, steamed fish and fresh chinese greens, and kung pao chicken and couples beef. They were all cooked very flavorful and the couple running the restaurant is incredibly nice and receptive to your preferences

Authentic Szechuan food with warm service. Emily was a great host. My parents lived in China for 10 years and this is their favorite Szechuan spot.

I came back to this restaurant after 5 years and it is just as great as the first time! I added updated menu pics as prices have adjusted since my last visit. Service was excellent. I'll be back and next time I'll try the spicy fish dish!

Come for the food and ignore the ambiance. It's a hole in the wall. The food is incredible. You can't go wrong with any of their popular dishes. We especially loved the green beans, salt and pepper chicken, wontons, simple noodles w peanut butter, and lamb.
