Szechuan Restaurants near El Monte, CA

“me gustó la sopa y los apps“

“Favorite Sichuan restaurant in California! Definitely the most authentic Sichuan food I’ve ever had in the states (yes I’m from Sichuan so take my word for it lol)
We live in the Bay Area, but whenever we’re visiting LA, we go to this place because of the great taste.
We ordered rabbit, beef and beef. The portions were HUGE. Every dish was flavorful, and it’s amazing that they picked seasonal vegetables to complement the flavor of the meat in each dish. And the spiciness is really close to what I had back at home in Sichuan. The chengdu fried rice(this should be the name if I remember it correctly) is also very good, not oily at all.
The restaurant owner is also very nice and she told us the rabbit meat is fresh from the butcher shop everyday, which sets this restaurant apart from others. (Well, this is the only restaurants in the states that I have ever been to that serves rabbit on the menu, so I really appreciate that)
100% recommend this place.“

“The best spicy Chinese Food in OC/LA area hands down! They have been Michelin recommended for a reason. Their food has lots of depth of umami flavors with a good amount of spice with a refined touch. Their none spicy broths are especially good too. My faves are their dry pots, toothpick lambs, Qiao Jiao Beef. We also like their spicy ribs and boiled fish in chilli sauce, and Mao cai. Service is great too!“

“As big fan of cold Szechuan appetizer, I always like to test the cold spicy beef aka husband and wife beef (fu qi fei pian). Their’s is pretty good, much spicier than other, portion is kind of small. My only concern is that they grind the pepper corn and leaving some bitter after taste. The restaurant is new with beautiful interior, adding a nice atmosphere“

“One of the most authentic hunan cuisine, their spicy is next level flavor. The fish head that we ordered is a must, the sweetness mixed with spice is amazing, the sweetness of the fish doesn’t get covered by the spice but the spice is perfectly balanced every bite is good! This Rowland plaza is amazing but this restaurant is a must try!“

“Went for the spicy wonton soup and was happy with the fact that even though it was a medium spice it still had the mouth numbing effect you would find with some hotter soups. And now I know for the next time that I should order extra spicy if I really want to feel the heat of their food. And also ask for the hand pulled noodles if they suggest noodles for you!“

“Compared to a few years ago, a few of the menu classics from Kawasanja are still there!And then the surprise is that there are a lot of new dishes too!“

“This Sichuan restaurant in Los Angeles is amazing ， you can even choose your spice level! The chef’s skills are top-notch, and every dish gives me that warm feeling of being back home. I came a bit late today, so the bullfrog was sold out, but luckily they still had pork kidney, which was fantastic. Great service too ， highly recommended!“

“We always like to explore new restaurants. Yelp on this one and try it out. Some dishes were on the salty side, but overall we really enjoyed the flavors. Pretty awesome pot of Jasmine tea for only $4. Other drinks were also available. Free parking on the lot and street parking on the residential streets. They were too busy so we had to flag some of the servers for services.“

“This restaurant has all the qualities of an exquisite Szechuan cuisine. The typically fragrance of the famous dishes will inspire you surrounded by the authentic Chengdu ambiance is a highly recommendation.“

“I’m dinning in with a group of friends and we are making a lot of special requests but the host is very patient and is taking very good care of us. We finish all the food and order more to go. The spicy bowl is amazing! And we finished the spicy bowl and order another one to go!!! Loving this place and would come back again!“

“Very authentic and delicious Sichuan restaurant. The sauerkraut fish is their specialty and definitely worth trying. The portions are quite big, we were able to share the single sauerkraut fish dish between two people. You order on your phone and they bring out the food, and all of the utensils and napkins are in a little drawer at your table. Very clean interior and the staff are always ready to assist when needed. They also have fortune sticks which are fun.“

“Y’all better stop playing. Run don’t walk! Lin out here bout to have every other Chinese restaurant you have ever been to just give up. Lol! I’m talkin bout they shutting doors and hanging up they aprons! Lins is the ONLY Chinese restaurant you will need for the rest of your life! Impeccable! Look, I don’t even know what I ordered… beef noodle something… I asked for help and the woman taking my order suggested it. The atmosphere was lovely. They had the fam in there, everybody eating at the end of the night. I came in close to closing around 9:15p. Everybody was friendly and the food came out in no time. Plus the prices are great. If I could give more stars I would! THE BEST!!!!! Xiexie Lin! Got me out here leaving comments in AAVE! Lol! This food is so delicious I had to do it justice in a way only AAVE can. I will be going back!“

“The food was amazing. Everything we had was good. They are a great place to visit late at night because of their late hours. The atmosphere was very upbeat and joyful. Service was very fast and on top of everything. 2 for 1 adult sodas were an unexpected plus also. Will definitely be visiting again next time I'm in town.“

“The food was absolutely amazing! It was a flavor bomb explosion in your mouth and nothing else mattered. The restaurant is small and comfortable and lunch was affordable. I live in Los Angeles and will never buy Sichuan Cuisine here again. OMG, delicious.“

“Food is delicious! If you like spicy can try it. If not, you can order one for non-spicy. Many different choices!“

“Super yummy… family favorite! I love the string beans and the fried hunan spicy pork! The service might vary because we are frequent customers but they are always kind and welcoming! The interior is pretty standard, didn’t really notice anything glaring the many times i’ve been here.“

“No wait time Sunday lunch before noon. It was pretty good. Need to have a little spicy so that the soup and food would be flavorful. Your typical ma la tang hot pot dining. My mom likes it and we'll be back soon. Soup did get more salty though as it keeps cooking. Not sure if there was rice or not.“

“Very good food. Clean and fast service.“
