Great food and service. We did have to wait some time before getting seated, so don’t come if you are in a hurry. The flavors were good and the prices reasonable.

The place is incredibly clean and updated, with a modern vibe that makes dining there so comfortable.
Ordering is so easy—just scan the QR code at the table, browse the menu, and place your order right from your phone.
Food: The variety of dishes was impressive and authentic. We tried the Chengdu Dan Dan Noodles, stir-fried vegetables, garlic cucumber, fatty beef soup, and Japanese tofu egg. The stir-fried vegetables were perfectly seasoned, and the garlic cucumber added a refreshing crunch.
We ate the Japanese tofu egg with rice and stir-fried vegetables and it’s the bomb.
The service was attentive. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Sichuan flavors!

Food is OK and too spicy for me. Food portion for takeout is small. Especially the spicy fried chicken (辣子鸡) portion is so much smaller than dine-in, and the chicken pieces are tiny. I probably would not come back.

I really like the taste of their restaurant, but I ate it three times a week. After the third time, my family and I felt numbness on our tongues and lips. I don't know what's going on. Now it's been a week and our tongues are still numb. The doctor asked me if I was poisoned. I didn't have this reaction the first two times I ate it, but after the third time, my tongue was indeed numb.

You will like this restaurant if you like spicy Chinese food. We tried the dried chili chicken & salted egg tofu. They both were very good, but we wish they put more chicken than chili, ☺️. The second time we went there, we tried their braised pork & beef soup. The braised pork was too sweet for us but the beef soup was good. Then we tried their egg plants, spicy cold chicken, and cilantro beef. They're all tasty. We'll go back to try their other yummy dishes.

delightful experience, the highlight of my meal was the fried shrimp, which was perfectly cooked—crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The stir-fried beef was equally impressive. It was tender and seasoned just right. highly recommend this restaurant for anyone craving genuine Chinese cuisine

Food dishes were excellent especially the spicy beef. Good amount of flavor and spice to go around. The shrimp dish also very tasty. For authentic chinese, Szechuan dishes were the best I have had around the area. Highly recommend for a night out with friends/family.
Even though I've lived in China for nearly 20 years, I'm pretty picky about food, which makes finding a Chinese restaurant that suits my taste in the U.S. very difficult. quite a challenge—whether on the East Coast or the West. However, the Sichuan restaurant Kuan Zai Alley in Irvine, CA is probably the best Chinese food I've had since coming to the U.S.
It's a casual place, but the flavors are so authentic that I'd even say it might be tastier than some of what you'd find in mainland China. Considering how much prices have gone up recently, I also found it reasonably priced. The only downside is that the restaurant isn't very big, so there's usually a bit of a wait during peak hours. Absolutely amazing! I'll definitely be back soon, 200% sure!

I recently dined at Kuan Zhai Alley in Irvine, and it has quickly become my favorite spot for Sichuan Chinese food! The flavors are authentic and absolutely delicious, making it the best Sichuan cuisine I’ve tried recently. The restaurant may be small, but its charming design and cleanliness create a welcoming atmosphere. The service was also pretty good, with the staff attentive and friendly. I highly recommend Kuan Zhai Alley to anyone looking for an exceptional Sichuan dining experience!
