Szechuan Restaurants near Sunnyvale, CA

“Authentic home-style northern Chinese food. It’s best if you go for the dishes that don’t require pan-frying, such as the buns, the pumpkin porridge, or the cabbage tofu stew.
I chatted with the owner, she is very passionate about not using additives, and fresh small-batch oil everyday; her own grandchildren eat here. I have a sensitive stomach and this is indeed one of the only places I can constantly order from.
Overall, this is a restaurant that preserves ingredients’ original flavors like your grandma’s kitchen. The atmosphere is likewise — nothing fancy.“

“Wow! Tried it today for the first time and could kick myself for not going sooner!!! Ordered pork belly with rice and cabbage- outstanding, mixed vegetables- unbelievable!-Strong garlic flavor crisp and flavorful. pork ribs w/mashed garlic- omg! Beef broccoli and crisp shrimp balls. Vegetable egg roll. Service was wonderful- friendly and quick ! Prices were reasonable. You see many Asian families enjoying along with us- so yeah! Sorry no pic because we devoured everything ?“

“Food is wounderful and not that expensive… worth it….😃“

“We arrived for an early dinner at 5:45 PM with easy seating and parking available. Was seated quickly and ordered via QR code. We ordered the Large Old Pot Sauerkraut Fish ($27), which came quickly and was piping hot. Fish was tender, vegetables and other ingredients cooked well, very flavorful. They have varying levels of spice for different palates, but the single chili pepper soup was just right for us. Pretty reasonable price for two people in the Bay Area.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Would recommend!

Wheelchair accessibility: Someone with a wheelchair should be able to get in. There are no stairs required.“

“So many options to choose from here! We loved everything we got, but the tofu dishes were the standout. FYI- I like to order directly from restaurants, but I think their website’s menu is outdated and we could not reach them by phone, so we ended up ordering via Uber Eats.

“AMAZING snacks! There is a free snack bar with all kinds of delicious chinese snacks, the staff were very kind and gave children toys. You can walk in at any given time and they will find you a table immediately. The place is very clean, and my family and I love it so much we go at least 2 times a week. If you’re ever looking for a hot pot place go here!“

“The service was great, the lady serving us helped give us good vegetarian suggestions and even accommodated to give us veg steamed dumplings with chili oil as we really wanted to try it. But by far, the mapo tofu was our favorite. It was the perfect amount of spice. Recommend this place to vegetarians - for the really good food and great service!“

“Service is great and food is delicious 🤤“

“Shang Cafe has been keeping up to their high standard, which speaks for itself. The food is delicious and portion is good. They are moderate in terms of seasoning and salts. But still manage to make the dishes delicious. They keep pushing new creations, which are usually good! Good job all these years!“

“Pretty solid takeout Chinese spot. I got the Lychee Shrimp Balls and Sesame Chicken with a side of White Rice. Very flavorful and cooked perfectly.The shrimp balls were tender inside and crispy outside. I like that they have water chestnuts for some extra texture. The sesame chicken was quite sweet! Tender meat. Tasted like an elevated orange chicken. I would order it again.My only complaint is the takeout packaging. It was very soggy and not sturdy. It doesn't seem to hold up with the food condensation. The boxes were falling apart at the edges from the heat.“

“Fast and friendly service. Mandarin and Cantonese is a plus if you can speak/understand it.“

“This is delicious! I really like eating rattan pepper fish. It would be better if the potato shreds were more sour and spicy. The pot-roasted pork is also delicious, but I don’t eat fried food very much. If I eat one piece, it will be almost the same. Overall, the service was great, the food was great, a bit pricey but fresh, will definitely go back.“

“We came here on a Saturday night around 6 pm. There was no wait, but when we left there was a line outside the door. We ordered the House special and Lazy Guy. I liked the House Special better, because there was no pig intestine. We also ordered the fish soup with pickled mustard greens and the si gua with salted egg. One small of the dry pot can feed two people. Portions are big here. I want to try their stinky tofu and crawfish next time!“
