Szechuan Restaurants in San Gabriel, CA

“I ordered three takeaways and waited for 45 minutes. To be honest, I was really unhappy. But thinking about it, the store was busy. If I were the boss, I guess the takeout would be delayed. The most important thing is that the boss and employees have very good attitudes and keep apologizing. I was also given a bottle of drink. I tried it when I got home and it tasted good. I’ll call next time so I don’t have to wait. Well, thank you boss for the drink. I wish you a happy new year and a prosperous business.“

“The green beans and kung pao chicken were the favorites. The xiao long bao dough was a little thick for our liking and didn’t hold together well so we didn’t get much of the broth sadly. Great rice noodles as well! Would come back just for the green beans, kung pao chicken, and rice noodles. Quick service and very reasonably priced for the amount we got!“

“I googled "best Chinese in LA" and then this popped up as the #1 place. So we drove - and had a very good meal. However, if you expect the classic Chinese dishes, you will be disappointed. This is Shezuan, "a different animal". So no rice, no sweet-and-sour-this-and-that. So be prepared for very spicy Szechuan food. Noodles. No rice. Try the dumplings, they were delicious. We ordered mild (1 out of 5 spice degrees) and we were burning inside (we had two separate orders of dumplings - but spice grade 1. There is no consistency, so be careful). So if spicy is what you are "in" for, you'll love it. The ambiance is sort of authentic ;-) - the sign on how to use the toilet (outside the restaurant in the alley) says more than words. But then, it was $100 all-in for the four of us only. My advice: I could barely understand the service language. Better check the menu before you go. As we were first-timers, I wanted to share three starters and three mains among the four of us and leave it up to the waitress to make us explore - she did not understand. I asked if they served beer. The answer was "noodles or dumplings". :-)“

“This was our first time visiting this chain’s location in San Gabriel. It is more spacious and the food quality is good. There were only two minor issues: There was no one checking the waitlist at the main entrance when we got there. The bathrooms only allow one person at a time. Other than those overall it is a very well managed restaurant.“

“The guy at the front desk was very nice. I ran out of change and looked for it in many stores but couldn't find it. He even gave me change even if I didn't buy anything. His attitude was also very good. I will definitely try it next time!“

“The two of us went to Sichuan Market one day last week to sample dinner. The price is not expensive and the ingredients are fresh. We both don't have big appetites, so we didn't order much. The waiter (perhaps the boss) was very humble and polite, and the service was still attentive; the boiled beef ordered was tender and delicious, and the desserts were also good. Like this and thank you.“

“Comrades who love spicy food must not miss this restaurant. Every now and then I get greedy and I will order one. The taste is very special. I order all spicy food but I still don’t think it’s spicy enough. I’m the only one who loves spicy food at home. Sometimes I want to order more. Force your family to eat the same dish, hahaha“

“Food is delicious! If you like spicy can try it. If not, you can order one for non-spicy. Many different choices!“

“I’m dinning in with a group of friends and we are making a lot of special requests but the host is very patient and is taking very good care of us. We finish all the food and order more to go. The spicy bowl is amazing! And we finished the spicy bowl and order another one to go!!! Loving this place and would come back again!“

“Dinner with my buddies here at this hotpot restaurant ordered non spicy soup bases as one of my buddies can not take spice. Overall, the food is ok. The soup was non bad, and the food choice was ample. Does fulfill the craving for hotpot. Since it the States so we were happy to find this.

Vegetarian options: Not the best location for this.

Parking: Right outside the shop.“
