Szechuan Restaurants near El Cerrito, CA

Tasty Sichuan Szechuan • $$
10675 San Pablo Ave, El Cerrito

“This unassuming spot is our favorite Chinese restaurant in the Bay! My husband, who thought he didn’t like Chinese food, is now a convert.

The chili fried chicken is heavenly. The sichuan peppers bring a beautiful, floral aroma and heat to the fresh, crispy, juicy popcorn-style chicken.

The butterfly shrimp has a delightful garlic, savory flavor, slurpable noodles, and fat juicy shrimp. It comes piping hot on a pan.

Can’t recommend this place enough.“

“This place will always be my favorite Hunan restaurant in the East Bay. I've been here several times already and it hits every time!! I've dined solo and taken my family and friends here. It's that good. Super consistent in flavor. Street parking.
Must try:
- Eggplant with green beans
- Vine pepper fish
- Spicy fried chicken
- Lamb stir fry with chilis
I'm really going to miss it when I'm not longer living near by.“

“What a surprise! I stopped going to this local restaurant pre pandemic because the whole experience had gone downhill, both in house and to go.
Now many years later I really wanted szechuan food and decided to give them another try.

What a change for the better!

The order was ready on time.
The containers were bulging with food.
the cumin lamb was no longer 90%peppers.
The chow fun was not swimming in oil.
The food was delicious and plentiful.

We will certainly be back and I'm so delightfully surprised in this time when restaurants are feeling the pinch. Everything was so different and just what I wanted.“

“Came here with my family and got a solid Chinese meal.

Good:
- Big portion sizes!
- I liked the noodle soup here, it was very tasty
- Reasonable prices
- Ample seating we got a seat in the back and it was more private

Bad
- The place was a bit smelly and dirty
- Hard to get a hold of the waiters

Overall still a solid Chinese place and glad I found it!“

“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.“
