Szechuan Restaurants near Milpitas, CA

“Uniquely decorated Chinese hot pot restaurant, located in the Milpitas Square shopping plaza. The meat and veggies were fresh, and the large sauce station offered a wide variety of ingredients for you to create a personalized, custom dipping sauce. Several levels of spicy soup to choose from. Definitely one of the better spicy hot pot places in the South Bay. Fast and efficient service. Large free parking lot.“

“Not surprisingly for a Bay Area spot that’s been around for 15 years, both the flavor and overall quality are really solid, and the value is genuinely great. This time I got to try several of their new dishes, and honestly they were all surprisingly good. The flavors felt very authentic — not the kind of “new dishes” that were added just for the sake of launching something new, but dishes you can tell were carefully developed. Overall, everything from the taste to the pricing felt really satisfying. It’s the kind of place you quietly remember after the meal and know you’ll come back to. And the owner is genuinely so nice!!!!“

“This spot is spotlessly clean and serves great‑tasting food. Ingredients are fresh, and portions are very generous. I really appreciate being able to customize my toppings. The staff are friendly and efficient. I end up eating here twice a week, and parking is convenient too.“

“These were the best noodles I’ve ever had! I ordered chicken with pumpkin puree and my husband had clear broth beef noodles, and both were amazing. Staff were very friendly. Everything was served in less than 15 minutes though it was lunch time. The only thing were the portions - they were huge even for my husband ) if they had options of ordering half a portion that would be perfect 👌🏻“

“This place is a must! I never knew fish soup was this good! If you like savory, spicy sour with the hint a sweet, this place is for you. By far, my favorite soup was the green Szechuan chili pepper. I'd love the numbing effect and the spice it brings!“

“A Canadian company I've been contracting with on a big event in Sunnyvale the past 2 years has held a dinner for all the employees and contractors at XLB Kitchen on one of our last nights together. We reserve the entire outdoor patio seating for our party and are treated to the most wonderful family-style meal! I learned last year to pace myself when they start bringing out the first couple of courses as the portions are huge and you'll want to try everything! Service is top notch, too!

My favorite dish is the marinated pork. OMG! Absolutely the best pork I have eaten in my life at any restaurant or cooked at home! Incredibly tender. Incredibly tasty. If you eat pork, you HAVE to try it!“

“Service is great and food is delicious 🤤“

“My favorite Sichuan restaurant in the Bay! My go tos are the boiled fish with peppercorn, la zi chicken (note that these are bite sized pieces of chicken), and mapo tofu. Recently ordered the fried intestines which were also delicious! They’re pretty busy everyday of the week but didn’t have to wait on a weekday dinner“

“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 :)“

“The service is just from being overwhelmed from called in orders. Impatient people not used to waiting for cooked food, it’s not microwaved food and it’s quality so you can’t argue, many restaurants are microwaved with frozen meat which makes a hard center, this place actually cooks with skill where it’s made right for health, it not oily it’s protein from the meat.“
