My husband and I love stopping by here whenever we are in the neighbourhood. We always judge the quality of Sichuanese style restaurants by their Couple'd Delight. This place by far has my favourite in the entire city. I soak up every last drop of the sauce with rice if I can manage it. It's so buttery and delicious. We always leave happy and full. The service is great. The ladies that wait the tables are very sweet and talkative. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for solid Sichuanese style cuisine.

one of the BEST, most authentic chinese noodles in chinatown. absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a delicious bowl of sichuan noodles - they also have a mixian noodle (guilin noodles) that is so good and reminds me of yunnan mixian. it came with so many veggies and the best beef broth. the mixian noodles were so chewy and authentic! we also got the lamb skewers - they're on the smaller side, but super flavorful. the chicken noodles with exploding chili was amazing, and more fried/junky flavor if you're craving that. the chicken comes on the side of the non spicy noodles. 10/10! ambiance is cozy and really comfortable inside. exactly the ambiance i'm looking for in a restaurant I want to come to often. it's not cold, or too bright - the seats are padded, and it's a warm light tone inside. the service is nice and attentive too. they speak chinese and will answer all your questions!

Amazing spicy dishes perfect for the cold wind. Cucumber salad, green onion pancakes and braised beef soup were my favorites. Must try when in San

You know it's good when the locals are in and there is someone rolling dumplings by herself in a corner. Spicy beef noodle soup was amazing
Garlic white meat is delicious! And there’s a lot of itI like my sausage to be a little more chewy, and the one here is very soft and chewy, which is also good.

Oily and bland Specialty. No flavor, I had to ask for salt and soy sauce. It was embarrassing. They gave you a large portion at least. The rice was ok. Maybe stick to appetizers here. Nothing special about their "Specialty". Tables could be more cleaner as well. Service was good.
Ordered the GuiLin Noodles which is one of the only non-spicy options. The noodles were amazing and perfectly textured and the beef came right off the giant bone they gave. The taste was amazing and very tender. The soup was also really good but just a tad bit salty. The staff was very friendly as well. The only thing bad is that when I went to the back to use the restroom, I saw flies around the tub of noodles they had.

I've been on a spicy beef noodle soup kick, so I had to visit Chong Qing Xiao Mian. Overall the soup was tasty, but I didn't love the beef ribs that need to be removed and eaten on the side. Typically it's nice to have beef that I can eat with chopsticks along with the noodles. But the spicy broth and noodles were delicious, the service was great, and the prices were fair. I will probably return, but will opt for the Dan Dan Noodles instead.
