“I feel like this review is going to be unfair, because last time we had an out of this world experience. First visit. The restaurant was completely empty. An older gentleman suggested an amazing slow braised meat in curry. It was so tender and tasteful beyond description. We waited a while for that dish. Others in my party praised the food as amazing as well. Second visit. We tried to get that meat braised in curry and received a beef version of curry chicken. Now it wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing. The food us still pretty good, but after that first visit, it's really hard to compare anything to the flavors we tasted. So, I am going to still give it a 4 stars eventhough I feel that there has definitely been a change in taste and flavor.“

“Went out for lunch with 3/10/24 Sichuan is located in a quiet area. Outside, no wannabe macho men making vehicular racket. Inside, no misbehaving parents training their children to be noisy neighbors. My not so clean daughter had Some Nerve to complain about smudge in her teacup. The waiter explained that "the cups are clay and the tea stain is impossible to remove". I'm thinking of calling it tea patina maybe? The service and presentation was Fine, Almost Everything tasted delicious. That interesting Szechuan spice yummy umm. Moist pork shoulder with crunchy and chewy skin oh yes.. Lip numbing tofu squares pressing sweetly on my tongue! Save me! Take me back for more! Ok I'm getting carried away but it was a very good meal and worth 60 miles on the odometer. Almost all the dishes were perfect. The only complaints? The potsticker wrapper was a bit chewy. Also the Walnut Prawns were conspicuously short on walnuts and one son wanted more sweet sauce on them. I found them refreshingly not too sweet. Check out the pics. And visit my new gem in Pleasant Hill.“
“Very lovely owners who cook and clean themselves and make DELICIOUS food. Please, if you're looking for a nice change of pace, come try this restaurant out. Such friendly staff ( all family) and very quiet, nicely lit atmosphere. Quick to come out with food and very gentle attitudes toward customers. Will definitely be coming back here again.“
“BEST CHINESE IN THE EAST BAY HANDS DOWN !! There's a reason they've been around for 30+ years ! Never once been disappointed and our family's been going here for decades. The owners & waiters are an absolute delight as well and are always so fun to speak with. Genuinely cannot recommend this place enough, their lunch specials are such a good deal so if you want to try here and leave stuffed for under $15 swing by! The ginger scallion beef is stupid fire and their kung Pao is the best I've had. Hope they continue to be in business for another 30 years :) love you guys !“
“This is our go-to Chinese restaurant in Pleasant Hill - we've only done dine-in and service is fast and friendly, while the food is always delicious. I'm a big fan of their salt and pepper options, as well as their kung pao chicken. Their crispy glazed chicken is tasty too. Great lunch specials too - you get your entree and rice, along with a cup of soup and your choice of salad or spring roll.“
“The food and service were good. However, we were greatly disappointed that the waiter didn't bring us our change and let us decide how much of a tip to leave. More and more restaurants are just assuming you don't want change. So it is best to have a bunch of small bills with you or use your credit card.“
