“BEST homemade egg rolls EVER & very decent food...
The orange, general tso, sesame, etc chicken dishes have been hit or miss last few times we ordered...
Sometimes VERY good, sometimes NOT so good, chicken goes from tender fried to VERY hard, like OVER fried, cannot even chew, BUT such is life!! The other food is good enough so consistently, that they get it right MOST of the time but honestly, got to say on chicken dishes they're batting 50/50 when we order (and we DO order from them, A LOT & for 30 years now)!!“

“Lao Sichuan has the most authentic and consistently amazing Chinese food to be found anywhere in the U.S. Having spent some time living in China while I was in undergrad, there are certain flavors that I crave, which your run of the mill American style Chinese restaurant will not have. My wife and I live in St Charles and make the 1 hour 20 minute round trip at least once a week to get our fix. The food is that good. The owner is seemingly always there, and obviously genuinely cares about ensuring quality in what is served every time. Our favorites are Chengdu Style King Pao Chicken, Ma Po Tofu, Beef in Pure Cumin Powder, Toothpicks Lamb, and the Xiao Long Bao. I cannot for the life of me fathom how this restaurant does not have a higher rating. It is the best. Try it. You won't regret it.“

“I worked here many many years ago. I was 15 I used to come in and do dishes for a few hours a day. Anyway the food here is amazing. Kind of ruined me for all other Chinese places. However having said that I will say since the pandemic and covid all that stuff right they've gone down a little in quality. I don't know if it's the cook. The egg rolls are half the size they used to be. Portions are a little smaller The chicken is a little smaller pieces. But hey what are you going to do it's rough out there. I'm going to order in about 30 minutes lol“

“This place is located at a Chinese supermarket food court yet they offer great Taiwan food. I brought my Taiwanese friend here once, now she is willing to drive back just to have meal here. We ordered the stinky tofu, tofu is very flavorful. The veggie pot is so delicious that I saw from someone else sitting there and I could not help but to ask the name of the dish.“

“I've lived here over two years and only eaten at A's once, and I remember the food was so so. Thought I would give them another try. Wow, really good food and value. I ordered online and was surprised that I was only order #3 this late in the day. Went in and the place was empty. Made me a little sad, but the lady working the counter with her two very young children was super sweet. I walked from my nearby apartment, got home and the food was still nice and hot. I ordered the General Tso's dinner special and upgraded to shrimp fried rice, it also comes with 3 egg rolls, who does that for less than $11?? Huge portion of food! Also got an order of crab rangoons, you get 8 for less than $6?! They're excellent with tons of that creamy filling. I'm very pleased and completely full lol! And, I have enough food for dinner tomorrow. I will definitely be back!“

“I loved the vibe as soon as I walked in. It is authentic and homey. I love the decor, its not too cold either. I tried the Lychee Strawberry Green Tea with Heart Jelly and Rainbow Jelly. The tea was a bit and it was definitely a sweeter drink, but I loved it. The jelly isn’t too firm, like some other places, it was perfectly balanced. Not too much ice, but also cold all the way through. Very delicious! Sweet staff! Great conversation!“

“The roast duck, with its skin so impossibly crisp, it shatters like glass under the slightest pressure, revealing the succulent, spice-infused meat beneath. Dipped in a sweet plum sauce, a piece of Cantonese heritage on a plate. Then comes the char siu, that iconic Cantonese barbecue pork, its edges charred to perfection, the meat tender, almost sinful in its juiciness. The marinade, a complex blend of honey, soy, and fermented tofu, clings to each slice, a sticky alchemy of Cantonese cooking. It’s sweet, savory, and utterly addictive, the kind of dish that haunts your dreams, compelling you to return. The Cantonese oil chicken, a masterpiece of simplicity. Poached in a master stock that’s a closely guarded secret, the chicken is impossibly tender, its skin silky, almost translucent. Served with a side of ginger scallion oil, it’s a dish that balances the richness of the meat with the brightness of fresh herbs, the simplest flavors are the most profound. Sitting here, chopsticks in hand, surrounded by the clatter of plates and the murmur of satisfied diners, I'm struck by the depth of flavor, the craftsmanship, and the sheer joy that is Cantonese barbecue. It's an experience, a journey through the heart of Cantonese culture, and one that I'd walk a thousand miles to taste again.“

“I can't believe how long it took me to find this place but now that I have it had become our "go-to" Chinese take out spot. We especially love the spicy fried rice!!! Even my 4 year old loved the rice, her first spicy food! Everything we have ordered has been fresh and tasty and they are so friendly when I pick up which really makes a difference for me.“

“I was blown away how Mr Chan was able to whip up all the food we ordered, without writing down our order, withour a single error. The food was amazing and he is just a gem of a human being. Amazing how he has had this restaurant for over 40 years. I live in San Francisco and his food was better??? #“
“The woman who takes the orders can be rude occasionally, but the food is always good. The wait is often longer than expected aswell.
Vegetarian options: There is a veggie section on the menu,
but I am unsure if it is vegetarian.
Parking: Hundreds of spots, as it shares a lot with jewel/other businesses.
Wheelchair accessibility: There is very few handicapped parking spots, and there is a curb to get in, that would make it difficult to get in without walking all the way around.“

“Great Chinese takeout and delivery. Been ordering here for years and the food is great and always arrives piping hot. Chicken fried rice is loaded with big chunks of white meat and Generals Chicken is very good. Portion sizes are generous. Delivery is always very prompt.“

“Food by the scoop! It's fast and cheap. Shan-Li's charges $1.25 for a generous scoop of the majority of the items. The food is already made, so it may not be the freshest, but it's fast. The ever so popular crispy chicken is pretty good. It's breaded, deep fried and sauced. They have 3 different kinds of fried rice and lo mein. The hot and sour soup was good, too! They have a self-serve water station by the register. While I was there, they had a constant stream of customer. There's plenty of space to sit and enjoy your meal.“
