Nice, quaint neighborhood Chinese restaurant with great selection, ample portions and reasonably priced. The hot tea they bring is a nice touch. My Kung Pao Chicken was perfect, and the Sweet and Sour Chicken had a nice tangy taste to it. Would definitely recommend!

One of my favorite restaurants! I crave their fish in hot sauce and mapo tofu all the time. Service is always great and very attentive. Food is always consistent and steaming hot. Definitely a must!

Disappointing. At this stage, Sichuan Pavillion seems to be resting on its reputation. The green beans were so terrible: overcooked, stringy, some were off, barely edible. The orange chicken was very poor quality meat and the batter had an off-putting texture. I was very surprised by the quality of the food after I heard it recommended from a couple of people. If they don't improve the green bean dish, it should be removed from the menu. It was practically inedible.

Food is ok but quite expensive. Portion is big. Service is good. But you are forced to pay 20% tips

We, a family of 7, came in about 2:30 PM. They were set to close at 3:30 for their afternoon break but moved quickly to seat and serve us.
The food was fantastic. We’d asked a Chinese Lyft driver for a recommendation and he said this was the most authentic Chinese food in DC. I’m not an authority on the authenticity, but it was very tasty.
The dishes were served family style. The not dish we didn’t like was the Jellyfish - but I had bought that as an experiment and we didn’t really expect to like it!

We visited this restaurant on Independence Day, a group of four.
The owner and all the staff were incredibly warm and friendly, recommending dishes based on our preferences.
In total, we tried the Mapo Tofu, Basil Eggplant, Sliced Beef and Tripe in Chili Sauce (Fuqi Feipian), Poached Fish Slices in Hot Chili Oil (Shui Zhu Yu Pian), and Homemade Beef Tendon.
The portion sizes were just right, the flavors weren't too salty, and the spice level wasn't overwhelming. Overall, the ingredients were fresh and the taste was great.
Our favorite was the Basil Eggplant; the sauce was incredibly rich and flavorful, and the four of us devoured it.

Wanted to have good Chinese food and decided to come to Sichuan Pavilion. The food came out hot and it was delicious. The pan fried dumplings was very good. The General tso chicken excellent. Great service. They kept refilling my water. Nice ambience. Definitely worth the trip!

This restaurant has the best Orange Chicken I've ever had! Although it looks like a lovely place to eat, I've only had carryout from this restaurant, and the service as a carryout customer has been great!

Whether it’s a group dinner or a casual meal, Sichuan Pavilion has authentic and flavorful Sichuan dishes in a comfortable setting.
Some of my favorites include the mapo tofu, spicy chicken with dry pepper, fish fillet, and bean strings with ground pork—all packed with bold flavors and the perfect balance of spice. The quality has remained consistently good.
The service was quick and attentive, with staff regularly refilling tea and ensuring a great dining experience.

Loved the food -- especially the dumplings in schezwan sauce was surprisingly good. Although, they are a bit too strict on the closing time and they won't seat you after 9pm. They took away our half-finished plates at 9:30 sharp which was kinda funny but a bummer nonetheless. :D
