Stopped by this spot with a friend after hearing so many good things—wow, it didn’t disappoint!The fish with rattan pepper. Absolute game-changer. Perfect balance of spice and flavor, super fresh too. They’ve got the classic hot Sichuan dishes but also some milder options if spicy isn’t your vibe.Really close to the freeway, super convenient.

The food at Sichuan Impression was honestly really good — flavorful and authentic. However, the service was quite disappointing. Even though we had an appointment and received a message confirming it was our turn, we ended up waiting at the counter for around 20 minutes before being seated. The staff didn’t seem very attentive during the check-in process, and I had to approach them multiple times to get assistance. Interestingly, they were much more responsive and friendly only when it was time to pack up and check out. Additionally, the bathroom was extremely dirty, which was surprising for a restaurant of this reputation. Overall, while the food was excellent, the service and cleanliness definitely need improvement.

11-year hotspot for sure! My friend swore by this place, so we checked it out after a Disneyland trip. Legit flavors—spicy dishes pack a punch, but there’re non-spicy options too. Super close to the 5 freeway, so convenient.

Went here after a friend hyped it up—wow, they weren’t kidding! If you’re into top Sichuan cuisine, this place is the real deal. Hot Sichuan dishes with that numbing-spicy kick, but also plenty of mild options if spice isn’t your thing. Plus, 7 years in the Michelin Guide? That says it all. Super close to Disneyland too, so great spot for foodies visiting nearby.

I recently had dinner at Jin Cheng Li, and it was one of the best Chinese dining experiences I’ve had in Irvine. The food tasted authentic and fresh, especially the spicy food, which had just the right amount of heat and flavor. The service was fast and friendly, and the staff checked in several times to make sure everything was good. The restaurant was clean, the dishes came out hot, and the atmosphere felt lively but comfortable.

Stopped by this place after my friend couldn’t stop raving about their authentic Sichuan food, and wow, I get the hype now! The flavors are legit, like burst-in-your-mouth spicy and so satisfying. If you’re into hot Sichuan dishes, this is definitely the spot—parents’ favorite too, especially since there are good non-spicy options. Super close to the freeway and Disney, so convenient for a quick bite.

Found this spot thanks to a friend, and wow, what a gem! If you’re into hot Sichuan dishes, this place really hits the mark. The flavors are bold, authentic, and packed with that perfect mix of spice and tingle. Even my parents, who are super picky about authentic Chinese food, loved it. Plus, they’ve got plenty of non-spicy options too, which is a nice touch for everyone to enjoy. Conveniently close to the 5 Freeway and Disneyland—totally worth stopping by!
