Szechuan Restaurants near Los Angeles, CA

“Amazing Food. We ordered quite a few dishes and everything was delicious! The Peking Duck and green beans were my favorite!“

“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!“

“Daybird serves up some of the best fried chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had! The chicken was perfectly crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor.
The spice level was spot on—just the right amount of heat to keep things exciting without overpowering the taste. Definitely worth the visit if you’re in LA!“

“By far the best Chinese food in the country. I absolutely love this place. The Salt & Pepper tofu is unmatched & the chicken with mustard greens is beyond flavorful. Every time I visit LA, coming here is a must!“

“Service fast Great food!!!! Being from Chicago we were unsure n went on Yelp-This restaurant came highly recommended“

“Hop Woo Restaurant is a fantastic spot for authentic Sichuan-style spice lovers! 🔥🌶️ Their spicy chicken is bold and flavorful, the lamb chops are perfectly seasoned and tender, and the fish soup is rich and satisfying. 🐔🥩🐟 Every dish delivers that signature numbing heat and deep, authentic taste. A must-visit for anyone craving delicious, fiery Sichuan cuisine! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Affordable price compared to similar restaurants. Small free parking lot in front.“

“We stumbled upon this really great “street” Sichuan food and decided to wait in line with the rest of the crowd. The place is small, but definitely worth the wait in line. Even after we sat down and ate people were still waiting outside to order food and eat inside. My biggest complaint was all the plastic utensils you had to eat with. It really made the food taste horrible. You cannot eat soup with chopsticks. I’d gladly pay a few extra dollars and eat off of real silverware. Had it not been for the plastic garbage we had to use I would have given the place all 5 stars.“

“The two of us went to Sichuan Market one day last week to sample dinner. The price is not expensive and the ingredients are fresh. We both don't have big appetites, so we didn't order much. The waiter (perhaps the boss) was very humble and polite, and the service was still attentive; the boiled beef ordered was tender and delicious, and the desserts were also good. Like this and thank you.“

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

“this is a must try. it is one of my favorite places in the SGV and is easily the best sichuan restaurant i have ever been to. i strongly recommend the zajiangmian, and all of the cold dishes. the sliced pork with garlic sauce is standout. i have not tried much else from their menu yet, but i would feel confident ordering any dish. the portions are generous and the pricing is fair. if you like sichuan food, get in your car right now and get over here. it’s worth it.“

“Dinner with my buddies here at this hotpot restaurant ordered non spicy soup bases as one of my buddies can not take spice. Overall, the food is ok. The soup was non bad, and the food choice was ample. Does fulfill the craving for hotpot. Since it the States so we were happy to find this.

Vegetarian options: Not the best location for this.

Parking: Right outside the shop.“

“I googled "best Chinese in LA" and then this popped up as the #1 place. So we drove - and had a very good meal. However, if you expect the classic Chinese dishes, you will be disappointed. This is Shezuan, "a different animal". So no rice, no sweet-and-sour-this-and-that. So be prepared for very spicy Szechuan food. Noodles. No rice. Try the dumplings, they were delicious. We ordered mild (1 out of 5 spice degrees) and we were burning inside (we had two separate orders of dumplings - but spice grade 1. There is no consistency, so be careful). So if spicy is what you are "in" for, you'll love it. The ambiance is sort of authentic ;-) - the sign on how to use the toilet (outside the restaurant in the alley) says more than words. But then, it was $100 all-in for the four of us only. My advice: I could barely understand the service language. Better check the menu before you go. As we were first-timers, I wanted to share three starters and three mains among the four of us and leave it up to the waitress to make us explore - she did not understand. I asked if they served beer. The answer was "noodles or dumplings". :-)“

“A well-known Chinese restaurant with a good size menu. They also have a small Dim Sum selection. The restaurant is clean, the service is good and plenty of off-street parking. The food is well prepared and tasty. We had the pork fried rice and the orange chicken.

Parking: Approximately 20 spots of free off-street parking. Pull into the driveway and park behind the restaurant and you can enter the restaurant from the back door or the front door.“

“We tried the three flavor broth hot pot, where you can choose three flavors. I like the mushroom broth, my wife likes the spicy Mala pot, and our child likes the tomato pot. This way, all three of us can enjoy our preferred flavors in the same pot. The lamb slices were thick and substantial; one plate was enough for us to enjoy. The restaurant's ambiance was great, with a pleasant atmosphere. The only thing was that the music was a bit monotonous; I listened to Blackpink all evening.“

“Popped in on a whim & ordered beef noodle soup (medium spicy). It was delicious! The noodles weren't soggy & there was lots of meat in the soup. The man who took my ordered offered me a chili paste oil, that was spicy salty deliciousness! I already want to visit again to try the beef roll & scallion pancake.“

“Food was delicious, and service was great and friendly. Ordered scallion pancake, short ribs and soup dumplings it was plenty of food.“

“Try The Indo Fried Rice… You will love it😀“

“I have to say the taste was really good, truly the authentic flavor of Sichuan. However, they don’t accept reservations or phone bookings, and you have to go to the restaurant to get a spot, which is a bit inconvenient. We ordered three dishes, and each portion was quite large and very spicy. The service and taste were both good. The only downside was the wait for a table—we waited for 40 minutes.“
