Szechuan Restaurants near Albany, CA

“delicious food — the whole menu. i get something new every time, every dish is a banger. hunanese friend said it’s not super authentic (they do have a lot of dishes from sichuan/elsewhere in china), but it’s the best in the bay. a bigger group is probably better because the portion sizes are huge, but i’ve also never minded a big haul of leftovers.“

“I had dinner here tonight. I ordered pea shoots and spicy fish fillets.
The pea shoots were fresh and full of garlic flavor. They are my favorite vegetable—healthy and delicious.
The spicy fish was really tasty. It’s the best I’ve had in the past one or two years.
The restaurant provided tea and side dishes. The environment is comfortable, and the service was nice and thoughtful.
Highly recommend!“

“So delicious and definitely my favorite Chinese restaurant in the East Bay--we've been twice in three weeks. We got the cilantro beef both times, and rotated other dishes. Everything has been really good and very fresh. When we went last weekend the staff (I assume the family owners?) were sitting at a table folding dumplings and chatting. It was nice to see the handmade assemy process and it seemed like a labor of love.
It's been pretty quiet when we've been in at lunchtime on the weekends. Go try it!“

“OMG! What delicious vegetarian food!
Highly highly recommend the Tomato Omelette soup. Every dip was soothing and flavorful!
The oil spilling noodles were unique but could have had more veggies. Note that it’s also a little spicy.
Will definitely be coming back to this place for more 😋“

“Very classic sichuan food. I recommend this restaurant.“

“We eat here once a month. We love the food and service . We also do pick up . Take note , if you do take out / delivery / pick up MUST heat the food in its container (alum trays) mix until water disappears and left with only that super good smell of Szechuan chili oil and herb. It will not disappoint!!!! I just put mine on top of the stove.“

“Our daughter is obsessed with soup dumplings which we found at Fusion Dumpling. The traditional pork were great, but try the black truffle and wagyu soup dumplings. You won't be disappointed!“

“Great place with a lovely patio, it's expensive of course but they give you value for the money too in the form of delicious dumplings and related delicious food. They are okay for vegetarian options. I ate at this place a lot when it was Savour and never ate outside once. The Patio is much better integrated, covered and fun with the current restaurant.“

“Both the spicy numbing beef tendon and the spicy rib and noodle soup were delicious.“

“The vegetarian food was great! Love the potatoes from Szechuan!“

“Solid Chinese yum, not the standard Chinese-American.

Popo Noodles, with rice-wine braised pork belly is savory, soy-based comfort; egg noodles cooked to still-chewy perfection, dressed for flavor but still dry. Pickled Bamboo Shoots add-on, a must, to cut through the light meat fat.

A good option when at Spark Social.“

“It relocated to 270-272 St because there is a new Spices Noodle House at 369 12th St.“

“Red Jade is a comforting, casual, easy place to grab a meal in an otherwise generally overpriced neighborhood. Solo diners can feel especially welcome. The best thing that's happened to the New Red Jade in a long time is a young female server, who seems very dedicated to making actual connections with the customers! They have also recently revamped their menu, which has many more exciting options than before.“

“I had an amazing experience at Amazing Kitchen! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, with a comfortable setting that makes you want to sit back and enjoy your meal. It truly has that authentic Chinese restaurant vibe simple, cozy, and focused on great food.

The service was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out quickly and fresh. You can tell they really care about their customers.

The food was absolutely delicious. The cast iron beef was the highlight served sizzling hot, tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Every bite was packed with rich, savory flavor. The eggplant dish was just as impressive — soft, tasty, and cooked to perfection with a delicious sauce that pairs perfectly with rice.

If you’re looking for authentic Chinese food with great service and a welcoming atmosphere, Amazing Kitchen is definitely worth visiting. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The food is always good here! Fresh and cooked to order. Service has gotten better over the years I remember when they were so rude. For the Ambiance I give it a 3 this is really a order and go. My favorite is always a dry fry ribs they're always top-notch. Today I ordered dry fried ribs beef chow mein and chicken fried rice with no soy sauce. The wait time has even improved I only waited 15 minutes.“

“I've been coming to Uncle Wong's for 3+ years after taking a job in Oakland. Being born and raised in San Francisco, I've had great Chinese food. Uncle Wong's is the best! May the owner is so attentive and sweet. Turn off your phone and get to Uncle Wong's right now! Note:Take Out only for now.“

“Little Szechuan is one of our “go to” restaurants when we’re craving authentic Chinese food with regional spices and heat. They offer an extensive menu, including dishes that will help Chinese natives overcome any pangs of homesickness. In fact, it reminds my partner of foods his grandmother used to prepare for his family in Wuhan. Delivery is fast, reliable, and always hot upon arrival. Try it! Pictured here: Szechuan Fish with Pickled Mustard Greens – Suan Cai Yu (酸菜鱼) and Sichuan Dry Fried Potatoes with Pork Belly and Peppers.“

“I’ve been to Wen’s Kitchen multiple times with large groups and they are always able to accommodate us with short notice and excellent service. At this point I’ve tried almost every item on the menu and everything is great. The fried rice and honey walnut shrimp are especially delicious and everything is very authentic“
