Truly Sichuan Reviews
Truly Sichuan catered a party I had for 30 people. Renee the owner made the planning process completely stressless. We had the soup dumplings (all guests agreed the best we ever had) and the rest of the food was fresh and so yummy! Almost everyone asked me where the restaurant was because it was the best Chinese food they ever had. The food, Renee and the rest of the staff makes this one of the best gems in Bergen county!!
We had a great dinner at Truly Sichuan. I had seen a Facebook post recommending it, then mentioned it to a few friends on Saturday night. One of them had been there and said it was great. It sure lived up to the hype. We shared the Steamed Pork Dumplings in Sichuan Chili Sauce appetizer which was excellent. I had the General Tso’s Chicken and Megan had the Sautéed Broad Noodles with vegetables. Both were delicious. The owner stopped by to chat with us regarding her philosophy...read full review

Truly Sichuan is a restaurant serving authentic spicy dishes. The food receives mixed reviews. Some find the soup dumplings very good with hot soup inside, the fried rice cooked well with a buttery taste, and the dark meat chicken with bok choy a healthy-ish dish done well. Others found the hot and sour soup off in flavor and seasoning, and the main course disappointing. The Seafood Noodle Soup was tried, and a pancake was delicious, with flavor, a soft yet crunchy texture that melted in the mouth. However, the food generally lacked flavor and substance, not meeting expectations for authentic Sichuan taste.
The service is friendly but slow. Some reviews note the service was not the best, feeling demanding and unwelcoming, with a lack of interest from staff. A male employee did not wash hands after leaving the bathroom. The atmosphere is mild but not great. There are many flies, including dead flies in the window. The smell of the food cooking is very nice, but there is no music and the lights are oddly dimmed, making the vibe feel depressing. The restaurant is spacious and in a center location with street parking, a parking lot behind, and free parking nearby within a five-minute walk. Overall, the restaurant is only solid, and dining in is not recommended, but it may be better for takeout.
