Taste Of Sichuan

This Chinese restaurant is the best. I’m constantly searching for the perfect moo goo gai pan and I found it here at Taste of Sichuan.The place gets crowded at dinner time but service is fast and the staff are attentive. The food here is delicious and I can’t wait to try their other dishes. By the way their steamed rice is cooked perfectly as well. 7/16/23 Tried their lunch special, it was very good with generous portions and came with a soup when you eat in.

Brought my grandma here after seeing Shen Yun. I had the Swimming Fire Fish. It was very good! The bowl they brought was way bigger than I was expecting. The fish and tofu both had a really nice texture. My grandma got some shrimp, and was pleased. They serve a Jasmine tea that is delicious! They were very busy, but they were well staffed and attentive. The waitress was friendly and patient.

Go to restaurant for comfort Chinese food! Their menu is organized with pictures and their staff is friendly and will do their best to describe any dish or recommend their favorites! Hands down their handshaven noodles are a must have, you won't regret it! Portions are generous and family style and will definitely fill you up. If I'm being nit-picky, the food could be slightly oily at times. Otherwise, this restaurant checks all boxes! Highly recommend for your Chinese food fix in the Beaverton area!

I love Taste of Sichuan! This was my second time trying it and my first time coming to eat in the restaurant. We were a large party of 9 but were seated immediately, AND it was super busy! I eat a lot of Sichuan cuisine as my family is from the Sichuan province, and it tasted very authentic. All the dishes were flavorful, delicious, and amazing. The portions are huge and priced really well. Will definitely be returning next time I’m in Beaverton :)

The only restaurant that I will not miss for my trips to Oregon. Is it really so good? Hmm, if comparing to ChengDu's, still gaps. However, over here, it still considered as great :) One of my places that I will have dinners with my colleagueas. This week, I came here 3 times. One of the visit, I brought my Mexican friend, he enjoyed, though he said spicy... haha, the only time that he came here not for Kung Pao Chicken.

I have been a loyal customer of Taste of Sichuan for five years, and I must say that their food is of exceptional quality in terms of taste and presentation. As someone who enjoys spicy food, I was absolutely amazed when I first tried their dishes with numbing peppers. It was a flavor explosion that left me speechless. In my opinion, Taste of Sichuan is the best Chinese restaurant in Portland. Their extensive menu offers a wide variety of options, ensuring that there is something to satisfy every palate. From the flavorful Chongqing chicken to the tantalizing stir-fried chicken in hot sauce, every dish is a delight. The barbecue pork fried rice and hot noodles are also personal favorites of mine. While the Covid pandemic did have a temporary impact on the taste of their food, I am pleased to say that Taste of Sichuan has made a remarkable comeback. They have managed to regain their exceptional flavors and have once again become a go-to spot for me. I have lost count of the number of times I have dined in or ordered from this restaurant, which is a testament to their consistently delicious offerings.

Food was delicious. They have a huge menu to choose from if u eat many types of meat. We liked the chicken & shrimp dish which we ordered & can't wait to visit again soon to try other dishes.

I love the intense fresh flavors. It was wonderful to dine in versus takeout, which is still delicious. The steaming plates of Spicy Basil Beef, Kung Pao Shrimp and Sichuan Dumplings were a perfect combination for dinner. The beef is more tender than most meats I have tried. The service was efficient and quick. I have had lots of dishes here and if you like spice you will love it.

So sad that our favorite restaurant is slated to be closed until someone in 2025, but we are loyal clients who would wait until the ninth Tuesday of the eleventh year of this decade off necessary. We LOVE this restaurant! Wishing them all the best in their rebuild and remodel. I can only imagine that the new improved T O S will be an even better dining experience once rebuilt/redecorated as they like. We will be some of the very first to return upon reopening, that's guaranteed! Bringing the whole family to enjoy the finest authentic Sichuan food in the northwest again, in their new, lovely dining room at a big family table. Making my reservation over a year in advance!

Came here with a group of four at 5 PM on a Tuesday night. The restaurant itself was not very full but they sat all of the patrons in one section so it felt crowded. Service was quick and food came out quickly. All of the dishes we ordered were great and prices were fair. All in all, a great dinner option.

My favorite Chinese restaurant, and heartbroken that they have been closed since December due to a fire. But I will keep checking faithfully, and when they eventually reopen, I will be gorging myself on hand shaved noodles with beef and kung pao chicken!!!

This place was quite busy and it definitely had a reason for it! The food was amazing! We ordered the scallion fried chicken which had the perfect crisp and beef and string beans which had a sweet and savory sauce coated very well every bite. The Dan Dan noodles were a bit too spicy for me but every bite I was able to get in, it was well worth the burn. The staff is friendly and the environment is welcoming. Love this place.

Pro-tip: Some of the spicy dishes can be very spicy! Highlights: I thought the prices were above average for a Chinese restaurant, but it's definitely justified when you see how large the portions are. I really enjoyed all the dishes that we ordered and weren't too spicy. Their vegetables in particular are so fresh and big! They also have incredibly quick customer service. Lowlights: They don't ask you for the spice level, so the Dan Dan noodles were so spicy they were inedible for me.

My guilty pleasure- love the tongue and lip numbing food at this restaurant. Unfortunately it's temporarily closed due to a fire and remodel with no date given for reopening.

Packed restaurant for lunch. Sichuan or Szechuan or Schezwan, this peppercorn is not for the weak. Our forgetfulness & underestimation had us burning our entire lunch and thereafter throughout the day. Dishes authentic and true to taste. But again, if one is not used to the eternal burn, there is a point where fire overcomes water or tea or diet Coke. Stuffy humid inside, tables & serving utensils not the cleanest. Ants trooping along the window-side was a concern but not apparently enough for the staff to move us in the busyness of lunch. A momentary pause by the server, then walking off to never come back. Hmmm.

We got take out because we were feeling a bit too lazy to cook. Ordered some classics: chicken chow mein, orange chicken, scallion pancakes and cream cheese wontons. Although the flavors were there and portions were great, the pancakes and wontons were soggier than I'd like. I get it, I ordered take out. And it probably sat for a while before I got there. But they also packaged the wontons on a bed of lettuce. The chow mein was absolutely fantastic and the same can be said for the orange chicken. Had some preserved orange peels which was a nice touch. Would love to dine in, but for takeout, avoid foods that should be crunchy!

I know they are closed right now but hoping they open soon because I love taste of sichuan. Been going here since it opened so many great memories and great food. Feel like I've grown up eating here, always a staple for us. Only downside it that It has gotten so expensive recently, prices have increased significantly. But the best Chinese food in Beaverton.

Legit favorite Sichuan restaurant ever. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Authentic.

We've been here a couple of times, the food is good, wouldn't say its the spice level that we expect for Sichuan cuisine, but a normal level. Wide variety of sides to choose from, also try their Steamed Dumplings.. Service wise they are always good.. And the ambiance is nice for family dinners and with friends

Since we've moved in Oregon from Hawaii 2 years ago, we have no luck finding the great Asian foods ( Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese). My friend who comes from Hawaii recommended us this place and other friends from Japan recommended this place as well. We know we should try this place, asap! We ordered steamed dumpling, Cheung du Dan Dan noodle, Kung pao shrimp, lemon crispy chicken and baby bac Choi stir fry. All dishes were big portions, super garlicky and fresh cooked. We definitely will go back again soon! You should try!!!

This is your classic Chinese spot. Honestly good food, good flavors. The lunch prices seem mostly in line with what to expect these days. I ordered the Generals chicken with sweet and sour ginger sauce. Admittedly I didn't exactly know what all was included, but turns out it's basically all chicken - if you want something with veggies, try something different. But the flavor was good! We also ordered this to go for a work lunch - good portions in their to-go containers, and they did well keeping all the orders straight!

Green beans with beef are winners!! Cake noodle was a bit dry for my liking. Eggplant tofu was tasty. Takeout service was prompt. Location is easy to access & interior dark but soothing. Ate too quick to remember to take pics!

The food is excellent, the wait was short, we were pleasantly surprised based on how busy the parking lot was when we arrived. Have not had a bad dish, the flavors are delicious. Can't wait for it to reopen, it's a go to spot often. Really miss it being open.

We can't wait for them to reopen. The chong king chicken, Kung Pao chicken and the green beans are all amazing. The food was tasty and perfectly seasoned/spiced. Service was ok, not terrible but not amazing. Even with that, we will be back.

Hand shaven noodles and spicy chicken are my new favorites at the Taste of Sichuan. Although the lobby and entry way will not impress you and the restaurant needs some TLC the I believe the food is deliciously spicy. The menu has plenty of variety and the servings are large, we easily took home leftovers for the next night. The service is prompt and efficient, they do have a bar but keep in mind I dont think they have a professional bartender so I would keep it as simple as possible. We will be back, we can pass up good Sichuan food.

I love this place. Such a large and diverse menu. I am a little scared to try some of their foods, just unfamiliar. I'm not as courageous yet. The best freshest spring rolls I've had around. I had a drink called red lotus and it was terrible. Their drink menu doesn't have a description of the drink, so I didn't really know what I was getting. But the name sounded pretty. Yet, still, I highly recommend this place.

Amazing food and great service. I have to say I'm very impressed with my experience eating here. Not only were the staff extremely friendly and knowledgeable, but I also had so many vegan options to choose from! If you're looking for great authentic Chinese food with plenty of options for everyone I would highly recommend checking Taste of Sichuan out. I will definitely be returning in the future!

Classic chinese food in Hillsboro. Came here for lunch and it was packed. They offer lunch specials that are made to be served individually vesus the traditional family style. Each lunch special comes with one entree item, a soup, salad and white or fried rice. I actually love how they do this for lunch since weekdays I can come get a filling meal without it being just a large portion of one entree. The food is pretty good for the price. The dan dan noodles are superb here! They have this thick spicy sauce with a peanut taste that goes so well with the noodles. My favorite by far. Food comes out pretty fast as well so this is a good option if you want food thats more flavorful than your standard fast food.

A place that serves good, spicy Chinese food. Portions are typically generous too! I always stop by here when visiting Portland.

I have been coming here for years. They have the best salt and pepper prawns in the area. The serving portion are generous. I love the fresh peppers and jalapeño and onions they add. My other favorite is the classic fried rice that has beef, chicken and shrimp in it. There are so many other amazing dishes on the menu but these our my go tos. The service has greatly improved even compared to pre pandemic. I held back a star only for aesthetics. The interior looks a bit tired and could use to be cleaned and or updated. We will continue to dine in and order take out.

It was great! My go to Chinese order is General's chicken, and theirs was really good. Also, despite the little pepper symbol that most places put next to it, this was the first time it actually was spicy. (To my very plain tastes, I'm sure it's still barely noticeable to regular spice hunters, but it was delicious and a little more heat and flavor than most restaurants put on it.) I was really sorry to find out the night after trying this place for the first time that there was an after hours kitchen fire- but no one was hurt, and they seem to be working on repairs already, so fingers crossed it will be open again soon!

Wow!!! What a contrast from the last time we were here. We dined in here about six months ago and the food was good. I had the Mapo Tofu and is was spicy and numbing. Last night, we ordered take out and it was nearly inedible. I ordered the Sichuan Beef and it was beyond bland. The only pepper to touch that dish was the green bells that ran through this dish. Also ordered the hand-shaved chow mein. They should just call them dumplings as in chicken and dumplings in the south. Also ordered the Beef and Green Beans and it was also bland. The most off putting theme of all three dishes was the gumminess of all three dishes. There was way too much cornstarch when the proteins were velveted. We will not be back.

I miss Taste of Sichuan. Their Beaverton location had a kitchen fire and has been closed for months. Supposedly, they'll reopen June 30, 2024. As a longtime customer, who would drive 20 miles to get their siu lung bao, hand-shaved noodles, and pork-with-young-bamboo-shoots, they can't come back soon enough. Taste of Sichuan has some of the best Chinese food in the greater Portland area, which you could sort of guess by the preponderance of Asian folks among their customers. Taste of Sichuan has a big menu with items for both the novice and experienced Chinese-food lover. Many authentic, spicy Szechuan dishes, but by no means is everything spicy. Hoping to enjoy their Shanghai soup dumplings--the aforementioned siu lung bao--once again, sometime soon.

Hot and sour soup was delicious. Chow Mein was delicious. Deep fried tofu with stir fried vegetables was delicious as well. There were so many people working, serving, bussing, etc. However, our server brought out our food and then never came back. Ever. Not to ask us how the food was, if there was anything else we needed (did we want dessert? Guess we'll never know). In fact, we had to hunt him down for our check. We gave him our credit card and someone else came to us with it to sign. Also, why on earth would you leave out the disgusting dirty dish cart for your guests to have as a view during their dinner? Gross.

I miss this place so much. We're eagerly awaiting its re-opening! Customer service was always great and Jack always recognized us when we came in. The food is SO good that we have yet to find anywhere that even remotely compares to it in Oregon, Washington, & Arizona. We've tried finding somewhere to hold us over while we wait, but there is nowhere like this place. It's likely we'll be here weekly once they're back!

Food was average. Egg flower soup tasted like corn soup. Service was okay, nothing special. Ambiance was not that of a classy restaurant which I was hoping for. The bathrooms were filthy. Felt like a piece of a production line rather than a dining experience. Dusty counter and the cleaning cloth was right next to where I was eating.

Came here for Sunday lunch and it was packed. We didn't have to wait long to be seated though, which was nice. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they offer lunch specials on weekends as well! We got an Eggplant with Hot Garlic Sauce and a Kung Pao Chicken, both came with soup, salad, and fried rice. The portion was quite a lot, it was enough for us to bring some home afterwards. Each dish was 12.95, so it was well worth the money! Overall the flavor was pretty good, it was quite heavy on the oil though.

4 stars for Portland (would probably be 3 in California) I wasn't really expecting much from Chinese food in Portland, but the food here wasn't bad. Not the most refined version of Chinese food, but satisfies your cravings. And the loofah here was standout delicious (on an absolute scale) - super incredibly savory. The stir fried lamb with scallions came with onions instead of scallions and the lamb slices where cut pretty thick, so if you're like my parents and looking for an authentic version, this isn't it. But hey the lamb is tasty. The bamboo shoots with pork dish I found too oily and some of the bamboo a bit tough but again it's still tasty. Fu qi fei pian was underwhelming, I'd skip it. Portion sizes here are massive - we completely over ordered expecting smaller portion sizes, so be conservative with your estimates of how much food you'll need.

Came here with some family after a graduation last week. All I can say is wow. My brother in law has been here many times and knew exactly what to order for our party of 10. I can't remember every item, but the fried rice, shaved noodles, general tso chicken, fried shrimp dishes were all amazing! The service was on point as our waitress was very attentive and prompt. The restaurant itself was super clean. I'll say that this restaurant blows any other restaurant out of the water in terms of the quality of the food! Don't hesitate to come here! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Oregon.

I had the Crispy Chicken with hot garlic sauce with fried rice. The crispy chicken was delicious. Very moist which somewhat surprised me. Generous amount of hot garlic sauce that they cook it in. Great flavors but didn't seem that spicy which is perfect for me. The fried rice....was mediocre in flavor and taste. It tasted very fresh which is always nice, but something was missing. I would recommend this place and I will probably go here again.

The best, simply the best. We had our wedding rehearsal dinner here and were treated like family. From the decor to the food, it can't be beat. Can't wait for it to reopen!

One of my favorite restaurants in town! I went with family who'd been before and it did not disappoint. It was spectacular and everything was so flavorful and delicious! The service was excellent and everyone was really welcoming. Taste of Sichuan is really cozy interior, too. Excellent food, and such a variety of dishes! I look forward to visiting again when they're back open!

Get anything spicy The server is always friendly The place is clean and spacious The takeout menu is different from the one for in house dining

We only ordered the dumplings but we had a second and third order bc they were so good!! Am already looking forward to coming back The wait staff are attentive and helpful. Nice clean atmosphere.

Always a good meal and never disappointed. Can't wait for the restoration reopening after the incident and missed my meal opportunity by 2days...

Still has maintained the quality and taste. Awesome place. This is our place to go for Chinese take out period.

Good food. Reliable quality. Casual dining. A regular dig that we frequent. Chongqing chicken and cumin lamb and garlic egg plant are staples

Unbelievably good authentic szechuan/chinese food with friendly, generous staff. So good - soft tofu in sizzling hot sour sauce was surprisingly good and not something I would usually order but glad I did. Spicy fish dry pot did not disappoint!

Our family is so glad we found this place. The Chinese restaurant we've been going to for 20 years closed down, so we needed to find a new one. Literally everything we've ordered from here is great, and the people that work here are awesome. The fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, and the cashew nut chicken are some of our favorite dishes. We have only ever ordered to go, but when we pick up the place is always solidly busy, and the workers are great. Clean and nice on the inside. This is where we are ordering our Chinese from now on.

Is it a yes or a Pan* Express? Don't let the shape of the building (it was once a Marie Callender restaurant or something) or the fact that they offer Orange Chicken fool you; this place is a yes. This place even has the typical 3.5 star average rating that I look for on Yelp. The one that says lots of people liked the food but some people didn't like the service or were picky about the interior design. Y'all. I rate food only for it's flavor and texture and skill. I could eat dim sum in a ditch and be happy as a clam, but give me a cold cardboard pizza in a palace and you'll still get 1 star. Pro-tip: 3.5 stars is the sweet spot where you're paying for taste and not for frills. You can bring your Mandarin-speaking-only grandparents here for Sichuan cuisine. The portions are massive, and there's even a Lunch Specials menu. Glasses of ice-less 茶温 water are served automatically without a waitress asking you to spend more money on a beverage when you're there for the food. They gotchu. All the yum cold appetizers like 夫妻肺片 and pig ear are on this separate page and preceded with this long paragraph inviting people to try the "wild" stuff (including the cucumber salad, hah)--if you're reading this, give it a go! this is the real stuff. \\ 水煮鱼 (Sichuan boiled fish) - less liquid than I've seen at other places; I like it because the fish isn't swimming in a pool of red oil - so many slices of soft white fish fillets (tilapia?) - also some celery and Napa cabbage (classic) to attempt to cut through the oil - the numbing flavor wasn't the strongest I've had but still captures some of the essence, so it could make a good intro version of the dish to someone who isn't used to the classic Sichuan peppery numbness \\ 宫保虾 (kung pao shrimp) - the shrimp is bite-sized and clothed with a sweet and crispy coat - so many peanuts! - a little spicy but not very peppery \\ 干煸四季豆 (green beans) - each green bean was juicy and crunchy - a little spice - also a massive portion and one of the freshest versions I've had of this dish - as they cooled, the green beans took on the classic wrinkled appearance Rice is not included, so we ordered two people's portion which was way more than we ate even for two meals. Yay for takeout containers. The food reheated well and made for another fantastic meal. At the tables next to us, some people opted for lunch sets that had a main dish and some fried rice or something all on one plate. If you're there by yourself or if people don't want to share, that can be an option, too. Overall, this is a place I could see myself going to regularly for my Sichuan boiled fish cravings! There's lots of parking, and the food is perfect for sharing family-style with friends or, well, family.

Update after 5 years of being satisfied customer who thought their Ma Po Tofu was among the best in the country. Just got home and opened my takeout to find the usual spicy tofu gloppy crap that passes for Ma Po at most Americanized restaurants. No longer the jiggly silken tofu with red oily sauce and bean paste funk. The fresh ground sichuan peppercorn is still on top but that is about the only way this garbage resembles their original glorious dish. I called them and they confirmed that they now have a new chef. I knew it instantly. Sad Sad Sad. I'm a 59 year old white fallen Jew who cooks better Ma Po than this. Truly shame on this restaurant for letting quality fall this much. Cannot see myself going back. I am so totally pissed off.

My husband and I love this place even though we have to drive at least 45 mins to get there. We order Togo many times and dine in once for a while. He usually orders in Chinese so I'm not sure exact name but here are our favorites, green beans, brisket soup, stir fried lamb, tofu and seafood soup and tendon and brisket cold dish. It costs about $80-90 totally but we eat at least 2 meals. Service for dining is so quick for many dishes. Green beans are stir-fried with chili oil and they are the best. Brisket soup comes with bok choy and bamboo roots. The meat is so tender and the broth is tasty. It's perfect for a cold day with a bowl of rice. Seafood soup is another choice for soup without spicy. It comes with tofu, seafood like fish, shrimp and squid and a lot of veggies. If you are craving some authentic Chinese food, this place won't disappoint you!!

Good food. Great service. Amazing people. Nice ambiance. This is my family's go to for Chinese food. Love this place.

Bland bland bland. I do not understand why people like this place. I've eaten in Chinatowns in many cities. We would just point at the non English menu and eat what they put in front of this. They wouldn't serve this at any of them.

First and foremost, many people believe the food was good; as shown by the crowded tables at 130p Saturday. Service was robotic, but timely and no problems. Food was standard Chinese fare, with some disappointing Won Ton soup which was flavorless and the egg flower soup was clearly a unique recipe that did not look or taste like traditional egg drop soup and was sweet yet also flavorless. The XIAOLONGBAO (soup dumplings) were mediocre at best and tasted more like the prepackaged type rather than freshly made. Pricing was average and although majority of food was decent, most likely will not return.

Food is wonderful as always. Service was the one that got 2 star. My waitress was nice and friendly. There was a short hair lady, not sure if she's also a waitress but she was bussing tables at that time. That lady kept rushing to ask if we are done with our food while we were still talking and eating. Water was only refilled once and no one else check on us but the busser to ask if we are finished. We ended up leaving a 18% tips to our waitress, but the whole experience was not great. I noticed there were still many tables left. It was not like they ran out of tables and needed us to leave for someone else. We just did not understand why rushing the customers while they are enjoying their foo. The food is amazing but we went out more for the service and the atmosphere. That make us wouldn't come again.

Take Out Order: Sweat Sour Chicken, General Tso Chicken, Chicken Chow Mein. Sweat / Sour Prawns. Except for the Chow Mein, all other Chicken dishes were dry, hard and stringy textured, not tender or succulent as one might expect. Ordered Crunchy Noodles that go with the Chow Mein, and to our surprise, it was all stuck together like glue in one big mass, hard to pull apart, sticky, partly wet, partly dried, rubbery texture and really hard to chew. The Sweat / Sour Prawns / Shrimp seemed ok, but overly soft, kind of bland and possibly over cooked. All in all, I'm thinking this was all left over stuff they needed to get rid of, and would have never served in their restaurant where people would surely complain. Both my wife and I agree on this. One more thing, $4.00 bucks for a small container of white rice? Let's just say, I'll never ever order take out from this restaurant again. The bill came to $78.80 and have a good mind to go back and complain.
