Szechuan Restaurants near Menlo Park, CA

“The soup dumplings rock! Love the orange chicken and Mongolian need as well“

“Hands down some of the best Sichuan Roasted Fish I’ve had. The fish is perfectly tender, soaked in a rich, numbing broth that packs a serious punch. I loved the variety of toppings—the cauliflower and bamboo shoots are flavor sponges. Large portions make it perfect for sharing.“

“Food is wounderful and not that expensive… worth it….😃“

“Service was good and ambiance is good. Food was really delicious and highly recommend their egg fried rice (spicy), spring rolls, Mapo Tofu, sichuan eggplant, pepper tofu. All of them were really good. Kung Pao tofu was sweet and could have been spicier. Scallion pancakes were lacking scallions and could be better“

“Very authentic sichuan food. Good value in terms of portion and price. The owner is a very sweet lady is super friendly. She taught the secret of having spicy food. Should ask her about that next time when you visit.
Spicy fish fillet and the suchuan noodle are my favorite in this place.“

“This restaurant is located right next to the famous Little Sichuan—healthy competition is always welcome. The interior feels newly renovated with a pleasant ambience, something I wish Little Sichuan would consider as well.

We ordered three dishes: Chongqing Spicy Chicken, Flavor Kitchen Cage Frog, and Dry-Baked Green Beans. Both the spicy chicken and the cage frog were quite good. The green beans were just okay; they were a bit stringy, and I’ve definitely had more tender versions elsewhere.

Be prepared to wait a bit for your food. It took about 15–20 minutes for our first dishes to arrive. This might actually be a good sign, since many Chinese restaurants rely heavily on pre-prepped ingredients—here it seems they cook more from scratch, which takes longer but tastes fresher.

Overall, we had a positive experience and will be adding this restaurant to our list for future visits.“

“Food is made fast but you might wait for a table during the rush hour. They don't offer many options for sauces but still is good. Although there are many people inside, it doesn't take too long to find an open table. I like how they utilized the screen to show when your food is ready so you don't need to hear workers screaming the order number. Tried seschzwan spicy hot pot and it was really good 😋“

“We have been looking for a Chinese restaurant that is good enough for us to often go to. We may have found it at Chef Zhao sichuan cuisine. The food came very quickly and every dish was excellent. The atmosphere was nicer than most Chinese restaurants.“

“Great Sichuan food and great atmosphere. I got five dishes and I recommend all of them:

- Tender Beef in Spicy Sauce
- Kung Pao Chicken
- Pork Fried Rice
- Dandan Noodles
- Dry Cooked String Beans

If you’re not a fan of spicy, feel free to omit the Tender Beef in Spicy Sauce, but you are truly missing out.

Service was also great! Very attentive and kind :)“
