Delicious food & amazing service 😍 favorite dish was probably the eggplant 😍 we were able to walk in and be seated with no problem at 7 pm on a Saturday :)

We had visitors from Canada who loved Chinese food. We searched for a Chinese restaurant and we found Sichuan Home with good reviews, but the restaurant opens at 5pm. It was 3pm when we felt hungry for lunch. We searched more for a different Chinese restaurant. None of the others had good reviews or the type of Chinese we were looking for. So, we decided to do another activity and wait till 5pm to eat at this restaurant. We finally sat down inside. The menu had good selection. The menu also was neatly categorized with the type of dishes. We had 4 main dishes: Lamb, chicken in Sichuan pepper, spicy fish and herb spice , and a vegetarian option called Dry mushroom. The food came in less than 5 minutes 🤔. I honestly don’t know how they prepared it so fast. Those 4 dishes needed to cook. Most likely they were already cooked and ready to serve.
My mushroom pieces were too big and leathery. When I asked for knife to cut to smaller pieces. They said the didn’t have a knife! They ended up bringing scissors😳. I didn’t like that, but I had to let her cut the big mushroom pieces so I can hold them with the chopsticks and put them in my mouth without having a full mouth or mushroom ends dangling from my mouth! The spicy breaded chicken was like orange chicken. We all agreed that the chicken needed salt. So we asked for salt. The waiter grabbed the dish from our table and brought it back very salty! It was not good before and not good after. The spicy fish, which came on a gas cooktop next to our table looked delicious, but the fish was possibly frozen fish. You would think that having fish at a restaurant next to the ocean would serve fresh fish from the sea, but that was not the case. Bottom line, the only fish that we all agreed was good, fresh, and tasty was the lamb.
They also brought sweet rice pieces on the house. The service was very good. The waiter might also be the cook, but I’m not sure. We were the only customer then another couple came in and finished before us. Would I go back again? I don’t think this is the best Chinese restaurant in town. So I’ll try something else next time.

I love Sichuan home but they did poorly both times I’ve gotten takeout recently.
Service: they are friendly but they consistently forgot about my take out order and always served many more people before giving me my food. I’m okay hanging out but the latest time I saw 4 tables that came after me get their food before I. I say call ahead and give them like 30-40 minutes, at least.
Food: No problem, I don’t mind waiting if the food is good. However, I got the Dan Dan noodles and spicy wontons and these were the wateriest, most bland sichuan food I’ve ever eaten. They were swimming in the same broth with no spice or complexity which is not typical — there was no “Ma” or “La” in either. I could tell the chef just dumped the broth for both and sent it on their way.
I usually give a place a few chances in case it was a fluke but im convinced it’s not for me. I’m sure other dishes (not during dinner rush) might be good, but do not get takeout from them.
Portion size and value/cost are great.

Coming from LA and being Chinese, I find the quality, setting and value of Chinese food in NorCal lacking. Was so happy to find this little gem of a restaurant. It’s nicely decorated and clean. There were interesting and tasty dishes like their chef’s special eggplant and chef’s special stir fry with shredded taro, greens and pine nuts. We also ordered the fish and pickled vegetable soup and duck. All was well seasoned and balanced, felt like clean solid food. The staff was lovely and welcoming. I would say this is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in SF!

This place was highly recommended by friends for authentic food. The vibe was so perfect for a cozy dinner at a local restaurant. We got the vegetarian Dan Dan, vegetarian Mapo tofu, veggie dumplings, and hot soy milk. The Dan Dan and soy milk were the best! The tofu was good- tasted standard. The dumplings were okay, we wished there was more flavor in the filling. Overall, would return!

A restaurant trying to coast by on its past laurels. Food is more tailored for an American palette. Spice is severely lacking for “Sichuan”. Their fresh fish of the day is not cooked well - there was zero flavor penetration. 干煸四季豆 (dry fried string beans) was boiled and half sautéed in a pan, resulting in a very poor texture

finally tried sichuan home for lunch after hearing the rave reviews and it lives up to its accolades. cozy and comforting environment with the kindest servers, sichuan home feels like an unassuming neighborhood restaurant with amazing food. the complimentary cabbage side dish and fruit dessert were a great touch. would come back!
spicy fish & chinese herb spice: the perfect spice level and packed with the mala spice flavor. large portion. highly recommend.
garlic eggplant: the perfect side dish leaning on the sweeter side to offset the rest of the sichuan spice.
veggie chow mein: standard fare, you know what to expect.
fried chicken: don’t remember the exact name but super crispy and perfectly cooked.
