Szechuan Restaurants near San Gabriel, CA

“The first few bites are OUT OF THIS WORLD! But then the oil and fat from the dry noodles hits and that's when it gets difficult. Definitely recommend the dry noodles, but not for those with high blood pressure. I haven't tried their soup noodles, but they should be good.“

“This place was fantastic 👏🏻 👌🏻. The food was fresh and delicious, and the fresh hot pot 😋 was a treat. Not to mention, I had an invaluable assistant. I had the chicken, beef, and vegetables, and my date had her delicious pork and vegetables dinner.“

“The food was amazing. Everything we had was good. They are a great place to visit late at night because of their late hours. The atmosphere was very upbeat and joyful. Service was very fast and on top of everything. 2 for 1 adult sodas were an unexpected plus also. Will definitely be visiting again next time I'm in town.“

“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". :-)“

“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 food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. Every dish had that authentic Sichuan kick—especially the spicy boiled fish and skewers, which were packed with bold flavors. The portions were generous, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients.“

“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!“

“Favorite Sichuan restaurant in California! Definitely the most authentic Sichuan food I’ve ever had in the states (yes I’m from Sichuan so take my word for it lol)
We live in the Bay Area, but whenever we’re visiting LA, we go to this place because of the great taste.
We ordered rabbit, beef and beef. The portions were HUGE. Every dish was flavorful, and it’s amazing that they picked seasonal vegetables to complement the flavor of the meat in each dish. And the spiciness is really close to what I had back at home in Sichuan. The chengdu fried rice(this should be the name if I remember it correctly) is also very good, not oily at all.
The restaurant owner is also very nice and she told us the rabbit meat is fresh from the butcher shop everyday, which sets this restaurant apart from others. (Well, this is the only restaurants in the states that I have ever been to that serves rabbit on the menu, so I really appreciate that)
100% recommend this place.“

“The best spicy Chinese Food in OC/LA area hands down! They have been Michelin recommended for a reason. Their food has lots of depth of umami flavors with a good amount of spice with a refined touch. Their none spicy broths are especially good too. My faves are their dry pots, toothpick lambs, Qiao Jiao Beef. We also like their spicy ribs and boiled fish in chilli sauce, and Mao cai. Service is great too!“

“This Sichuan restaurant in Los Angeles is amazing ， you can even choose your spice level! The chef’s skills are top-notch, and every dish gives me that warm feeling of being back home. I came a bit late today, so the bullfrog was sold out, but luckily they still had pork kidney, which was fantastic. Great service too ， highly recommended!“

“One of the best ma la Xiang guo places in the sgv area. Sometimes the food is too salty and the service is not good sometimes. But it’s pretty affordable and it’s spicy and for $20 you get potatoes meat carrots and other stuff that makes it delicious.“

“Sichuan dishes with real numbing heat—mapo tofu and toothpick lamb are standouts. Servers will warn you about spice levels if you ask. Interior is simple and clean. Good for groups willing to share plates. Parking in the plaza can be chaotic at dinner“

“This restaurant has all the qualities of an exquisite Szechuan cuisine. The typically fragrance of the famous dishes will inspire you surrounded by the authentic Chengdu ambiance is a highly recommendation.“

“It is a nice restaurant! I have been here once, in the beginning of July 2022. The meals, that I have ordered, were delicious. I have ordered beef meals. One was BBQ, another was fried. The prices for these meals were fair, and not on the expensive side. They carried several generic beers. In addition, they carried Taiwan's Beer. So, I thought to try it out. Of course, alcohol is on the expensive side. Therefore, to dine-in, I would recommend to try their meals, and drink water. Also, this place opens around 5:30 PM, and closes around 2:00 AM. Still, during my visit, since it was Wednesday evening, the place was empty. I was the only customer in this establishment. Nevertheless, I had a good experience, and I would recommend anyone to visit this restaurant.“

“Very good food, and great cocktails. Wait staff was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our experience.“

“Very authentic and delicious Sichuan restaurant. The sauerkraut fish is their specialty and definitely worth trying. The portions are quite big, we were able to share the single sauerkraut fish dish between two people. You order on your phone and they bring out the food, and all of the utensils and napkins are in a little drawer at your table. Very clean interior and the staff are always ready to assist when needed. They also have fortune sticks which are fun.“

“This was my first time trying Xiaolongkan Hot Pot and it won’t be my last! The broth was rich and flavorful, and the ingredients were all fresh. But what really stood out was the excellent service. Our server cookie was incredibly helpful, checking in often to see if we needed anything, and always making sure we were comfortable. They made the experience feel effortless and enjoyable.“

“Very good food!! The pickled cabbage fish soup was so good and the braised pork hock with special sauce was also amazing, so flavorful from the ginger and a little bit of sichuan peppers! Never had it before but highly recommend it. Definitely check it out if you come by“

“Try The Indo Fried Rice… You will love it😀“

“Definitely, this restaurant totally hits the spot for me. The soup noodles with the tripe & beef, awesome!!! The pan fried buns, pan fried pie, wood ear mushrooms, seaweed salad, pigs ears, tripe & wash those down with a bottle of cold jasmine tea..... My taste buds are having a 🥳🎉🎊💞“

“It's more like a new-style morning tea. The environment is pretty good and the dishes are pretty good. The service is very good. The roasted duck on the copper plate is okay. The skin is thin and crispy. The meat is very tender. The baked rice with seafood is in white sauce and has almost no taste. It's average. The black gold quicksand buns taste like the ones I bought in the supermarket. The mangosteen beef balls are almost as delicious as the barbecued pork rice rolls with mushrooms added in them.“

“Years ago my mom randomly came to this store after a gig in the area, and she was shocked by how good it was.

We happened to be in the area again, and my mom INSISTED on coming here. We ordered number 1 and some cucumbers. Clean, rich flavors. We got mild, and while there’s a kick it isn’t overwhelming. Numbing spice though!

Cucumbers were fresh, salty and rich on the outside and crisp.

Unassuming interior, delicious meal.“

“This place is pretty good for szechuan food. The best fish was the cold pork belly with garlic sauce. The meat was tender and there was noodles underneath it and the sauce was very good. The steamed pork slices were also very good and hearty. The wonton in chili oil was surprisingly also good. The boiled fish with pickles and green beans were decent.

The overall taste of this place is interesting in that the mala isn't as strong as other Szechuan places. So that might be a turn off for some.

The staff was nice and brought out the dishes in a timely order but kind of inattentive at times like filling the water.

The atmosphere feels nice and quiet and homely.“

“me gustó la sopa y los apps“

“Food was delicious, and service was great and friendly. Ordered scallion pancake, short ribs and soup dumplings it was plenty of food.“

“Finally, there’s a good Sichuan restaurant understands that the authentic Sichuan food is not about flaming hot. It’s actually about its numbing feelings and aromatic flavors of different chilies. Well, I give 4 stars because the wait was too long and I almost left. I will pay a visit when you have plenty of time to spend there and if you don’t mind waiting for good food“
