Szechuan Restaurants near San Jose, CA

“Glad to find an authentic Szechuan/Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood. It's not a fancy restaurant but the food is delicious. We ordered fish filet with golden soup, mapo tofu with pork intestine, sizzling squid, and sesame balls. All are good except the sizzling squid was not sizzling in hot plate and the squid looks very different from the photo on the menu. The owner told us that the menu was misprinted with picture of squid legs (they serve the body part). Maybe they should cross out that picture so there won't be disappointment due to wrong expectation. Other than that, the restroom is clean but needs some update. All in all, we enjoyed the food and will definitely come back again.“

“Service is great and food is delicious 🤤“

“I had a great dinner at Shang Cafe tonight. The food was delicious and full of flavor, especially the authentic Chinese dishes. The restaurant was clean and comfortable, and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Everything came out fresh and hot. I really enjoyed the experience and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend this place if you want good Chinese food!“

“Service was great! We had a large party (multiple to young families) and we were able to get seated all together. Additionally the ordering process through the app makes it easy, imo, and collaborative, too. The food was fantastic - delivered to the table quickly, was great temperature and the flavor and texture were delicious! Look forward to returning.“

“Uniquely decorated Chinese hot pot restaurant, located in the Milpitas Square shopping plaza. The meat and veggies were fresh, and the large sauce station offered a wide variety of ingredients for you to create a personalized, custom dipping sauce. Several levels of spicy soup to choose from. Definitely one of the better spicy hot pot places in the South Bay. Fast and efficient service. Large free parking lot.“

“Not surprisingly for a Bay Area spot that’s been around for 15 years, both the flavor and overall quality are really solid, and the value is genuinely great. This time I got to try several of their new dishes, and honestly they were all surprisingly good. The flavors felt very authentic — not the kind of “new dishes” that were added just for the sake of launching something new, but dishes you can tell were carefully developed. Overall, everything from the taste to the pricing felt really satisfying. It’s the kind of place you quietly remember after the meal and know you’ll come back to. And the owner is genuinely so nice!!!!“
