Located off of Treat, right around the corner before it turns into Clayton, you can find Tasty Sichuan. If you want an easy to find landmark, just look for Starbucks at the intersection of Treat and Clayton, and you'll be able to track down this spot.
The place is decently sized, at the place itself isn't huge, but the way it's laid out, there's plenty of tables inside for seating.
The service at the spot was just okay overall. It wasn't bad, but for a restaurant that just opened, and nobody was inside, they really weren't all that attentive to the people who were sitting down, even when there weren't any to-go orders coming in. Had to go out of our way to walk up to the counter at one point to flag someone down having sat down for a good 5 minutes after getting the menu, but it happens, so I'll overlook it this time.
The menu they have is, not quite the selection I had hoped for, but they do have most of the general stuff there, so it's fine. The pricing is, just okay, but comparable to the other Sichuan spots around. One thing I do wish they had was an actual lunch menu, for their Sichuan dishes, or some combination of them. They do have a "lunch" menu, but it's under their Chinese American section, which is what we decided to try today because, how can anyone mess this up right?
We tried out two things, the honey walnut prawns, and the kung pao chicken.
The honey walnut prawns were alright, nothing special, and you don't get a whole lot of shrimp from the order. The kung pao chicken was...really weird. It wasn't really kung pao chicken as the sauce they used was really sweet, and mixed with the ginger, it kind of gave off a really bitter taste profile when combined together. The spiciness from the kung pao wasn't right either, and just ended up eating a very pasty chicken dish that wasn't very good.
I don't know, perhaps trying their Sichuan stuff next time may get me a better idea of the kind of food they serve, but if they can't even get the simplest dishes such as kung pao chicken right, and they already look down on these dishes clearly by stating they're "Chinese American" dishes, which they can't even get that right, I'm a bit hard pressed to believe how spot on the rest of the stuff will be, but may give a try again in the future, though, there's so many more dumpling and noodle, but I guess you could still come here for the Sichuan stuff since there's still just a handful of those around, though, there is one down Treat in Countrywood too if you want other options. Not a great first impression I guess, but hey, I'm optimistic next time will be better.
