The 19 Best Chinese Restaurants in San Francisco

"Long waits for a great Chinese meal are common in the Peninsula, which makes this as yet line-free favorite doubly special. The space is no-frills, but the kitchen is all-thrills, knocking out classic dish after classic dish: crisp Chongqing-style fried chicken buried under a mound of dried chiles and numbing peppercorns, tender pork wontons swimming in gloriously mouth-searing chili oil and chewy dan dan noodles tossed with ground pork, peanuts and plenty of chile oil. As with all Sichuan restaurants, those who can't stand the heat will have a hard go of it, but non-fiery options include a flaky rolled beef pancake and garlicky pea shoots. The moral of this story: while Yummy may not be anyone's idea of high style, the food assuredly lives up to its name." - The MICHELIN Guide

I've been looking for a restaurant serving this type of dishes since my favorite place closed. I went to a few places near me, but they were not at this caliber. Wow. Everything we ordered was delicious. Dandan noodles were just right with a touch of peanuts sauce. The mapo tofu was very flavorful with the right amount of heat and numbing spices. We also ordered the fish in chili oil. It had a lot of fish and again, it was very flavorful. There was street parking and a small parking lot behind the restaurant. I will definitely be going back to try the other items on the menu.

We went here for lunch, portion sizes were large, lunch specials come with tea, soup, and meal. Set lunch menu is 13.95$ and finishes at 14:30. Food have very good flavor

We tried a mix of Sichuan and Northern Chinese dishes at Yummy Szechuan, and the flavors were impressive. However, as a spicy food fan, I found the Spicy Pork Ear, Chongqing Spicy Chili Chicken, and Mao Xue Wang a bit milder than I prefer. If you're like me and love extra heat, consider asking for more chili in these dishes. Despite the spice level, the quick service, varied flavors, and cozy atmosphere made the experience enjoyable. The Toothpick Lamb With Cumin, The Salted Egg with Golden Sand Prawns, and The Chongqing Spicy Chili Chicken stood out, even if they weren't super spicy.

The spicy food here is delicious and authentic, and the spicy fish fillet is so delicious that it is worth recommending! But not spicy home-cooked dishes, steamed buns and fried dumplings are too ordinary, and there is no aftertaste. The serving speed is quite fast, and the hygiene is not bad.

Amazingly delicious authentic Chinese restaurant with a wide range of varieties: Szechuan food, Beijing food, South Chinese golden crabs, Western China spicy chicken, and North China dumplings and buns, and perfect household dishes. Free tea is available. For customers who cannot accept spicy food, there are plenty of non-spicy choices and you even order less spicy for the spicy choices. Street parking is available during the weekends. Five star and will definitely revisit!

Had a great meal for lunch. The spicy beef was so tender. It basically melted in my mouth. Great tingly spice too. The Dan Dan noodles in spicy sauce was also really tasty. But my favorite part was definitely the dumplings in spicy sauce. It's one of my favorite things when I am getting this style of food and they knocked it out of the dark. I could have drank the sauce. The staff was very nice. Definitely a spot worth supporting.

Came here on Wed night around 8pm. The restaurant is half full. They also have wait list on yelp. We joined the wait list before coming in, and got sitter immediately. Street parking, and I think there is a small parking lot in the back. Recent price considering the portion they gave you. The spicy flavor is on point. Overall very flavorful. Friendly service. If you want to order their signature eggplant dish, you need to call half day in advance.

Food: excellent, nothing over or under cooked, didn't need to add salt, nothing burnt my tongue. Lives up to the rep of great quality food. Ambience: clean and well lit. Service: you order, get your great food, eat and pay. No complaints. Don't expect to be waited on hand and foot, you come here for the food and they deliver.

Came here looking forward to trying a new Szechuan place in the area. Lunch time crowd was minimal and seated immediately. Service Very friendly, prompt and helpful. Food Ordered the following: B99 House Special Boiled Fish (Swai Fillet) - fish was tasty but portions were on the smaller side and the filets pieces were a bit smaller compared to other dishes served at Szechuan places in the area. For the price ($22), I suppose it's about right, so this works if you're ordering for 2-3 people. If you're a party of 4 or more, definitely consider ordering a few more entrees. H99 Chongqing Spicy Chili Chicken - this was great! It looked very spicy w/ all the chili mixed in w/ the chicken but it had great flavor and was fried well. Not very oily at all G6 Braised Tofu - this was OK. Would order something else next time. G12 Cumin Lamb - great lamb. Flavorful, soft, and had the feeling of "I can't believe this is lamb!" not gamey at all Ambiance Ample seating for lunch but can see it being tight if every table was packed for dinner time. Not great seating for young families or toddlers. Most tables were good for 2-4 people (standard square tables) Overall, would come again for the chili chicken and cumin lamb. There was a ton of other dishes on the menu that I'd try again, so maybe will continue on w/ the thread of cumin flavored meats / skewers and the chili chicken.

Another great visit at Yummy Szechuan. We had a quiet lunch here on Christmas Day. Easy parking on the street. The owner greeted us warmly. We ordered extremely pickled fish (with fresh cod), Dan Dan noodle, sour potato noodle (酸辣粉), braised tofu with black fungus and pea shoots, sizzling cumin lamb. Everything was perfect. We highly recommend substituting fresh cod in the fish dish, although the soup could be more sour for the extremely pickled fish dish.

Service was amazing here. Very attentive employees and very fast at getting you what you need!! Tea was refilled frequently, fast at responding to orders (rice, water, etc.). The Szechuan was spicy.. get ready for a food coma drowned in your own sweat. Amazing tastes and delicacies. Here is a picture of the couples special.. get it.

Nestled among other Chinese and Asian spots on El Camino in Millbrae, Yummy Szechuan is not to be missed. While the Beef Roll was just your standard, they really aced the Dan Dan Noodle and our stir fried dish. Dan Dan Noodle: The numbing flavor is easily the best part of the dish. The balance of flavors with the pork, garlic and peanut made each bite of the bouncy noodles (chow mein thickness) so addictive. We recently went to a place that had fresh noodles but the Dan Dan sauce was lacking. I'd rather this place with the balance of flavors. Stir Fried Yellow Beef: Excellent flavor, wok heat and a hint of heat. Beef was not too soft and just perfect. Highly recommend pairing with white rice since our noodles were so numbing! Everything came out quickly and our server was so efficient and lovely. There were takeout orders and dine in but we didn't have to wait long. The menu is expansive as well so can't wait to return to try more dishes, as most older Chinese patrons opted for their stir fried dishes with rice.

What is going on, Yummy Sechuan? We had been going for years and had never disappointed. Today, we got our usual mapo tofu, chonging chili chicken and eggplant with green beans. The mapo tofu was super bland!!!! You forgot to add your soy or salt or whatever yummy sauce you add that made us keep eating bowls of rice. NOT EDIBLE!!!!! Eggplant and Greenbeans. We loved the wok charred taste of this dish. What we got today was oily and tasteless. Chongging Spicy Chicken. This was okay. It was not as good as what we had numerous time before. The chicken chunks were big and not as flavorful. At least this one was not tasteless. So, Yummy Sechuan, after all these years! We are breaking up. Off to Little Chengdu we must go.

we got a bunch of things but i came here with my mom after a recommendation from my brother. what i can say is that from the outside the place smells amazing and weirdly does remind me of china not to pull the whole authenticity but everything here was well made and has all of the right flavor profiles as well. we got so many things but mostly notably was the dan dan mian (could use more cucumbers) and the 回锅肉 which was great with rice literally no notes, it's great, come here please

Small hole in the wall but very clean with great service. I came for lunch and was floored by the MaPo Tofu. I search high and low. West Coast East Coast and Yummy Szechuan has some of the best! Thick loaded with pork. Spicy salty. Firm tofu. Wow wow wow. Very impressed.

This gem in millbrae with really authentic food! The place has street parking around it and the service is fast too! We ordered the Sichuan boiled fish, the mao xue, the sliced pork with spicy garlic sauce. Everything was ten by ten on flavor but careful with the spice for those not used to it. The place is recommended by the Michelin guide and it lives up to it. Very fast service and friendly servers! It's great for group dinners of 4 or over with your non vegetarian friends! It's pretty non pretentious. I don't mind giving it 4.5 stars at all! Def a must visit if you are in Millbrae

Yummy doesn't disappoint. Today I tried their Yuxiang pork in garlic sauce lunch special. It had a good spicy kick to it. Hot and sour soup is standard but good.

Probably one of the best Sichuan restaurants in the Bay Area, and now it's my favorite.It was absolutely worth the drive from Marin County. The staff was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations that truly showcased the best of their menu. Every dish we tried was fantastic.We'll definitely be back for more!

I never liked lamb BUT this restaurant's lamb dish was so good, I actually went back the next day because I was craving their lamb. Everything else was mostly good but don't bother ordering the onion pancake. Completely lacked onion flavor. The previous night I actually ordered their duck too but didn't take a picture. Also don't bother with the duck. Very little meat and full of bones.

Authentic Szechuan food. All the foods are delicious. We had Kong Pao Shrimp, egg plants in garlic sauce, lion's head meat ball and string beans.

Best Szechuan Cuisine in Bay Area. Service is superb and the menu list is endless. I recommend the Dan Dan neon but we have not been disappointed with any of the dishes. I highly recommend Yummy Szechuan to everyone.

There is a Michelin star chef title for this restaurant, I am not sure if the chef still there. Nothing special to mention what we ordered. Chicken was salty. Mapo Tofu about average. We ordered a bunch of dishes but nothing really impressed me. I wound not recommend this restaurant to food lovers.. lots of reviews on yelps are not updated and some dishes are not on the menu.

Terrible customer service and all the women serving are very rude. The cooks or chefs in the back are great. The food is not great, I suggest you spend your money somewhere else. Not worth it! The place is a little run down, the windows are very dirty and mirrors have hand prints and smears on it. Not a big fan of the ambiance.

The authenticity of this food is unmatched. Everything is delicious. My family has been eating here since they opened. Interestingly, my favorite dishes here are actually vegetarian- the spicy green beans, lotus root, and the eggplant. The flavors are truly wonderful. Thank you Yummy Szechuan for your existence.

Yelp
Excellent find! Restaurant specializing in Szechuan cuisine. Food comes out fast from the kitchen. Great service from the staff. Food similar to other food restaurants nearby, but prices here are a little lower. The Dandan noodles had the best flavor profile than others serving the same dish. Food portions are good , leaving you with extra to take home. Will definitely come back to this restaurant.

We got there a little late and near their closing time, without hesitation we were welcomed in and seated. We were never rush throughout the dinner. Food tasted super good, spicy and peppers ratio were on point. Will definitely go back but will try going there earlier.

Excellent spicy food in a quaint environment Food: - Chongqing spicy chicken: fantastic fried chicken, lightly breaded, stir fried with red chili peppers. This was deliciously fresh, and you could really taste the chili flavors through and through. - House special boiled fish: fresh fish cooked with bean sprouts in numbing spicy oil. Another winner for our table! - Szechuan Dan Dan noodles: tasty noodles in a numbing spicy sauce with ground meat. This was hubby's favorite (and he can be picky about Dan Dan noodles). - Eggplant with Garlic Sauce: very common Chinese dish, but cooked well and quite spicy - Yang chow fried rice: ordered for kids who don't like spicy, but I found it a bit bland Ambience: Clean and simple, lots of Michelin signs on the walls. Service: Friendly and to-the-point. Just how we like it! Bottom line: Would definitely return and excited to try other items!

I was in Millbrae and wanted something spicy for dinner--Yummy Szechuan, which we have been going to this place for years now. The service is quick, and they turn around tables quickly. They are a way so friendly. When they get busy, they get busy, so don't expect them to accommodate a huge table right away. The food has always been consistent, and those peppercorns pack a punch. We love the spicy broiled fish dish and the chicken and tendon dish. They also have some delicious noodle dishes. The place is small and typically can be suitable for parties of 4--a great place to order from for to-go as well. If you want good spicy Chinese food, you go here and not for ambiance. Enjoy those spicy Szechuan peppercorns!!

Wow, yummy what happened to the size of the soup noodles. Same price but now it's a lot smaller in height and width of the fish soup. We use to order this regularly, unfortunately can no longer recommend ordering the soup noodles.

Authentically proper level of the spice for a Sichaun food. I ordered takeout of Spicy Rock Fish and Yummy Fried duck. The portion is incredible and plenty left for two grow adults. The Spicy Rock Fish is very spicy with authentic Sichuan flavors and the fish was fresh. Beware of bones for those not familiar with asian dishes. The Yummy Fried Duck was good but I wanted it to be wow. Since I had it at home, it wasn't as crispy. I'll try to eat in the restaurant next time and come back with an updated verdict. The service was good. Fast and straight to the point. The restaurant had plenty of dinning guest for a random Tuesday during the early dinner service. The ambiance is not too formal with casual vibes. There are street parking.

First time eating at Yummy Szechuan and the food was excellent!! Ordered Mongolian beef (spicy), dumplings (two kinds), fried rice, scallion pancakes, veggies with lotus root and fungus, all of our dishes were delicious and flavorful! Our server, Emma, made us feel so welcomed and made suggestions, which we ordered. We will definitely be back! We live so close and so glad we found this gem in our neighborhood !

There are plenty of street parking. Although they only had one person working at the front, service was pretty quick and efficient. We ordered the: -- Lotus Root with Chili Pepper: Not the best that I've had, but it's still pretty good. -- Seafood with Tofu Soup: Not bad. -- Pickled Cabbage and Shredded Pork Rice Noodles: spicy and quite delicious. I like the noodles more than the meat. -- Dumplings with Red Spicy Sauce: Love the chives, gotta eat 'em while they're hot. If possible, I would recommend to ask to have the chili oil sauce on the side. -- Szechuan Chili Pork: Too salty. It's okay. -- House Special Fish Fillet in Boiling Spicy Broth: My favorite dish! I love the enoki mushroom, aka the Flammulina filiformis. The fresh bean sprouts and the soft fish. *drools\* I would come back just to order this again.

This is our go-to Doordash takeout Chinese spot. Really great assortment of dishes, delicious, packaged well and lots of food (good value). We love the sesame chicken, chicken fried rice, Kung pao shrimp and have also tried green beans and scallion pancakes and soup dumplings. All super reliable and great. Order with confidence.

We just ordered off of their website and the food is $25 more expensive than dine in. 30%+ surcharge is too much for take out. We called them about it and apparently if you call and order they'll charge you the correct price.

Grabbed a quick lunch after flying in and it's everything I remember. The food is just awesome. We over ordered cause we just couldn't make up our minds on what to eat. The services was great and quick, despite a rush right after we arrived. We may go back again tomorrow

I wanted to eat somewhere that offers really spicy mala food. My cousin recommended me to this place and it lived up to what I was looking for. The food here was really spicy. Especially since I asked for extra mala and spicy for them. Other than spicy, it was also very savory and filling. The prices are pretty decent not too overly expensive. I would really recommend the spicy mala fish, and the spicy noodlsles they have. It was really good. The lamb with the bun was a little underwhelming, it didnt taste as good as it looks. But overall would definitely come back again.

Best Szechuan restaurant in the area! I love their mapo tofu and spicy boiled fish. Service is fast and friendly. Setting is very basic, so 4 stars. I highly recommend!

Honestly one of my favorite Szechuan places to eat at. They have great food, very authentic, very tasty. The restaurant interior itself is not impressive, but that isnt what I look for when im eating chinese food. Anything you order here will be delicious, i recommend trying the garlic cooked tender beef, twice cooked pork, and toothpick lamb. This place never disappoints, even went twice last week.

I always love a good Sichuan place that's walking distance from where I live so I can pretend I'm getting some exercise while going down to retrieve my 5 servings of food for 2 people. This place is legit- bold, deep, complex flavors from a mixture of sauces that define Sichuan cuisine. While it's mainly known for its mala (or numbing spicy) flavor, some places will make their food one-dimensional whew the mala is the only flavor you can taste and there's nothing else of substance. But not here. Here, the flavors are layered and complex. Well most dishes we ordered the first time were, but some dishes from the second time were not hence the 4 star review (first time was 5 stars, second time 3, so it averaged out to a 4). THE GOOD: -Their Dan Dan noodles are delicious. Seasoned soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, sesame sauce provides the base that coats the springy noodles. This was definitely a 10/10 and our favorite dish out of everything we got. -Eggplant with century egg- amazing. Idk why it's called bell pepper and eggplant when there's clearly no bell pepper but whatever, it tastes good and has century eggs and that's all that matters. Again, a complex and multi-flavored sauce is what makes this dish so addictive. -kou shui ji, or mouth watering chicken. Delicious again. Looks plain and red AF, but once again the sauce is the star! Lots of sesame paste, with seasoned soy sauce and chili oil. It's umami, "Xiang" or fragrant, sweet, salty, spicy, I can go on. Don't sleep on this and yes it's supposed to be eaten cold. -Suan ni bai rou: good, but not the best. It's thin pork belly with garlic and seasoned soy sauce and chili oil. They wrap theirs in the slices of shaved cucumber which was fine but portions are small for the price. Still tasted good though. I prefer to just make mine at home for a fraction of the cost. -Beef pancake rolls: Very good, though not the best I've had. The green onion pancake was nice and crunchy and flaky, and the insides were all fine with hoisin sauce and shredded green onions but the beef was a tad bit drier than I would have liked. Hubby praised it though, probably because he's never had better ones from Boston's Chinatown. No biggie though, I'd buy it from this place again. -Stewed pork belly chunks in fu lu, or red fermented bean sauce: I mean it's stewed pork belly, what's not to love? THE MEH: -Yv xiang qie zi, or garlic eggplant: usually this is a very safe, basic dish with hints of garlicky sweet and spicy in the sauce but it fell short and didn't penetrate the eggplant. I mean it was fine, not bad, but not memorable either. I forgot we got it. THE BAD: -Mapo tofu. This breaks my heart bc mapo tofu is one of the most basic and staple dishes of Sichuan cuisine and any good restaurant should make it very well, but it was just BAD here. The sauce was 1D, very overpowered with the mala flavor. Literally all we could taste was numb and spicy, and NOTHING else. Not the meatiness from the front pork, nor the umami from other sauces, nor the layers from the dou ban jiang. I had to remake it and dilute it with more chicken broth and sugar to make it more palatable and even then I got spicy diarrhea. This was probably my least favorite dish, followed closely by: -Fatty beef with enoki mushrooms: again no other flavors except the mala, and it was 75% broth. Price was slightly higher too for the small percentage of beef in here. We regretted getting these two dishes. I'm just going to stick to what we originally ordered our first time from now on.

This restaurant is the best Chichuan flaver restaurant in California. The price is very good, considering the inflation now. For a $15 Kousui Chicken, you get a full plate of chicken which is so delicious that I have to order it every time I go to this restaurant. Other dishes are also very good. It has won Michiline Award for 3 years. Every time I have Chinese friends from China, I always take them to this restaurant, and all of them love it. The seasoning source of the restaurant is made by the Chief cook with receipe he inherited from his parents and is very very good. It is just right spicy for people who come from Sichuan and is well acceptable by other customers. My 12 years old grand daughter did not eat spicy in the past. But once I used the spicy source from this restaurant to make noodle for her, she loves the taste so much! Now she constantly asks for spicy dishes.

There is so much complaint about the takeout price are 25-30% more. This is because the delivery service demands a high commission and then charges you a delivery fee. Don't blame the restaurant owner for the increase takeout price. It is the delivery service that rips off the customer. I'm not the owner or his family friend responding just a customer that knows of the business model. I rarely uses delivery service. I usually go and patronize the restaurant directly. The driver only gets the tip. The driver gets very little of the delivery fee and overcharges from the delivery company. In this economy it is very hard to make a buck. Best is to go to the restaurant and eat the meal there and take back the left over. Yummy Szechuan food is very authentic. One of the best outside of going to China

Solid 5 stars! Good are amazing! Crispy outside and juicy inside! A little bit too spicy for my friend but perfect for me! We ordered one non-spicy chicken for my friend and it's so tasty! Will come back with my family.

I love spicy Szechuan food so this was the perfect place because they have a very good selection of dishes. From the dishes that we tried, the cold chicken was my favorite. The soup dumplings were dry but It's not a dumpling place so I won't hold it against them. I Would definitely go back to try more dishes.

If you can't handle the heat, then you need to make a U-turn and head elsewhere! Because some of their more popular/tasty dishes is going to give those sweat glands a good workout! Knowing this place has Michelin Recco in 2017, 2018, & 2019, we decided to try this place out. I'm so glad we did because I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I've had Szechuan before and wasn't into it but for some reason, this place knows how to make their dishes into flavor town. Here's what we had: :) Couples Delight - beef tendon w/sprouts loaded with chili oil... something about those marinated thinly sliced tendons that is loaded with chili oil made my mouth extremely happy. If I had this dish before I die, I think I would die a happy woman. 5 STARS :| Lotus root with chili peppers - The crunchy texture of lotus roots were on point, there were tiny peppercorn that bursts into your mouth that makes your nose start to sweat. I think a pinch of sea salt could had brightened this one up a bit. 3 STARS :) Japanese grass jelly - Who knew jello or jelly can be a savory dish? Not me. But for some reason, the chili oil sauce went well with it. It was refreshing but spicy, if that makes sense?! It was. 3.5 STARS :) Onion pancake - Oh yum. It was fluffy, crispy and tasty. One of the fluffiest I've ever had. 4 STARS :) Jajiang noodles - the noodles were perfect! I think this is one of the better jajiang I've had in a while. 4 STARS :) Szechwan Dan Dan noodles - This was mega BOMB. I love the noodles but the chili oil, the minced meat and the crunchy peanuts just made this experience extra special to me. I've never had a dan dan noodle that I actually liked...until now. 5 STARS :) Extremely Pickled fish filets - I didn't think it was extremely pickled but it was pickled. I loved it. The pickled veggies goes very well with fish filets... I could eat this over and over again. 5 STARS :) Deep fried roast duck - OMG! This is so freaking good. I would highly recommend tasting this first before you dig into the spicy dishes. It is so good on its own. I didn't know that until the next day after my tastes buds had a hard reset. 5 STARS :) Beef and broccoli - for the weak spice at heart... order this one. It is a safe dish. :) Seafood braised tofu clay pot - another dish for the weak spice at heart... another safe dish to order. To me, it had perfect heat and had just enough spice. But to those that were dining with me, well... good thing we were sitting next to the open door to cool down their sweaty heads and noses. I didn't even break a sweat and really enjoyed the dishes. NOTES: Major hole in the wall. Feels authentic. Family run restaurants. Parking outside, if your lucky enough.

Came here on a Tuesday night at 6:30 and the place was pretty empty (there was a table of 4). A party of 2 walked in before us. Once we got seated more people came so that's a good sign. Because it was two of us we can't ordered too many items. We ordered the house special boil fish, the intestine hotpot and an eggplant string bean veggie. Everything was delicious and flavorful! The house special boil fish was flavored just the way it should be. The fish was tender and fresh and broth was spicy to the point that my lips are numb. I was a little skeptical about the intestine hotpot because I'm afraid they don't clean the intestines very clean but I was surprised that this dish was good. This is not a spicy dish. It is more of a sour dish because it has sour fermented mustard green in it. As for the eggplant string beans, it was good but the only thing I would complain is it's too oily. I know the eggplants and string beans needs to be fried a little in oil but if they can drain the eggplants a little more that would be great. Can you see the oil on the plate? Plenty of street parking around here so parking is not an issue. Overall food was delicious and the two staffs were friendly. Will definitely come back with more people to try their spicy whole fish pot.

Came here on Monday night for some spicy dinner. Coming in there was a lot of seating, the menu was nice and I appreciate that it had pictures of all the dishes they served which made for easy ordering. I usually don't like spicy and expected this place to have my mouth burning but to my surprise it wasn't that spicy. BUT one dish did make my mouth numb it was a weird sensation, it wasn't spicy but it made my mouth numb. My favorite dishes would be the scallion pancakes and the wontons, so I highly recommend them. Service was alright, they would always pass us when we waved for attention even though we sat in front of the registers.

Yummy Chinese food in Millbrae. My search for the quintessential spicy chicken has officially ended here! Yummy Szechuan is a small, cute eatery with courteous staff and quick service.
