We have been looking for a Chinese restaurant that is good enough for us to often go to. We may have found it at Chef Zhao sichuan cuisine. The food came very quickly and every dish was excellent. The atmosphere was nicer than most Chinese restaurants.

Chef Zhao stands out for serving one of the most delicious and truly traditional Kung Pao chicken dishes around—perfectly balanced with spice, sweetness, and that signature wok aroma that many other places miss. 🐔🌶️ The soft tofu and crab meat is also a highlight, with a smooth, delicate texture and rich seafood flavor that’s both unique and satisfying. 🦀🍳 A must-try for fans of authentic Chinese flavors! 😋🥢

This place is legit szechuan. All dishes are authentic and fresh. There are alot of szechuan restaurants in the bay area, and not all of them are created equal. Often at other restaurants I get stomach aches after eating the various spicy and oily foods which I know comes with the cuisine - because the quality of the ingredients others use are bad. But here, I have never had an issue with my sensitive stomach even consuming just about everything. Chef Zhao cooks not just great...
