I’ve been coming to this restaurant for a few years, and it’s hands down the best Sichuan food around. Their Mapo tofu is my absolute favorite. One thing to note though—their cabbage side dish is “paocai,” not kimchi. They’re completely different foods from different countries, and the process of making them isn’t the same. Don’t get me wrong, I love paocai !!, but I noticed some reviews from Americans mixing the two up. Just want to clear that up so people don’t get confused.

Love this place. Has been a go to almost weekly since we moved to Berkeley. Amazing environment, pretty fast service and the food is the best Sichuan food you will find in the East Bay. If you like spicy food they have plenty of great spicy dishes. 1000 chili chicken and cumin lamb are amongst our favorites.

The best Chinese food in East Bay! My partner and I are here monthly (if not weekly!). The staff is super friendly, and the food is amazing. We really appreciate sitting down to a fresh pot of tea and kimchi before ordering. Our favorites are the lamb with cumin, 1000 chili chicken, and mapo tofu. If you crave spicy food, this is the place to go.

Food was amazing. Ordered the cumin beef and mapo tofu. Amazing traditional flavors with hugeee portions! I was hesitant about their general tsos as this is always a hit or miss sometimes, anywhere you go. But wow was it amazing. Fresh, crispy, perfectly sauced all on a bed of fresh broccoli. You get your money's worth here. Good flavor, big portions, and great service 👍

This is the go-to chinese restaurant for me and my wife. The food is excellent and the service is great. We try different things everytime and haven't been disappointed so far. Bonus: the atmosphere is nice as well with intricate paintings and artwork lining the walls. Highly recommend 👌 5🌟s

Cold sichuan spicy pork appetizer is wonderful. Almost as good as in China!

This is THE classic Szechune restaurant in Bay Area. It is convenient, spacious, and with nice decor. The food is authentic with milder taste. As a Cantonese the real SZ cooking is overwhelming. This milder version is just right. We had A3 appetiser, H5 boiled fish, and J3 stirred pork. It came to somewhat >$80 for two. The portion is large. The left-over is good for another 3 meals. Very delicious!
My favorite Chinese restaurant in the Berkeley area! Sichuan Style really does a great job with everything they serve. The Shui Zhu Yu 水煮鱼 is fantastic and has the perfect numbing spicy flavor you look for in that sort of dish. We have also really enjoyed the Yu Xiang eggplant, Chong Qing chicken, and so many other dishes. The more western style dishes like General Tso's Chicken are also awesome and are super flavorful/crispy... much better than other restaurants I've tried. Honestly, I have been so impressed by every dish here and would encourage anyone looking for good Chinese food to come try Sichuan Style. The service is super friendly and quick, and the restaurant is clean and nice to sit in. We love Sichuan Style and will definitely keep coming back as long as we live in the area.

Like most Chinese restaurants Sichuan style has a very large menu. The restaurant has lots of seating and is rarely full, which is nice. Most of what I’ve had here has been excellent, but I was not as big a fan of the fried rice. It was heavier with stronger flavors than I typically like. The staff was very fast and helpful, and the portions were huge. And they give kimchi!

Most food we ordered tastes good, the shredded chicken looks and tastes very strange in a bad way. The packaging was a mess, the sauces spilled everywhere.
