For about a few months now, Ive been craving this restaurant. I saw images online and the reviews. Food looked very tasty but the reviews were mildly ok.

I came with a few friends to try out the food. I gotta say, the food was decent. I think it lacked the flavor and the substance I was looking for in a place like this, understanding its food from Sichuan, I was expecting for of an authentic taste from the dish, yet instead just lacked some flavors. Could’ve been the salt or the broth. My buddy decided to order a pancake, now that was delicious. That had the more flavor to it, in small pieces, you eat with one bite, definetly melted in my mouth, I was impressed with the texture of the dish too, soft yet crunchy which was perfect.

The service was not the best. My friends and I when we came, weren’t welcomed like other customers, I asked for the table and was sat next to the window, which isn’t the problem, but rather the service felt very demanding and unwelcoming. After taking some time for the menu, I mentioned how a lot of the options were very good, and asked for a recommendation, the recommendation the lady gave was very disinterest, even brought up of the idea of like “maybe you won’t like this”. She acted like my order wouldn’t matter to her at all plus didn’t care about the idea of wanting to have customers try new things.
I took up on her idea however and decided to try out the Seafood Noodle Soup. She even served the water, just dropped it off our table, didn’t make any eye contact and walked off. Even the most disappointing part of all this service, we walked out, said thank you, completely ignored us, didn’t look at us, dint acknowledge us whatsoever. The service was just not good.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was mild. There were a lot of flies and even dead flies in the window which was unpleasant to say the least. The smell of the place was very nice! I could smell the food cooking, that definetly made me hungry. Here’s the thing, no music and the lights were very oddly dimmed. It definetly made the place and the vibe feel very depressing.

Overall, this restaurant is not the best, it’s only solid. I would not recommend coming to this restaurant as the service was very disappointing and the atmosphere of the place as well. This place seems to be better if you were taking out food, I would consider avoiding this place to dine in.

Paid $4 extra on doordash to get a diet coke to enjoy my food with and they forgot it / didn't refund my money for not having it. Unacceptable like you have one job, how can you mess something so simple up. Baffles me.

Love the food. Service is usually somewhat slow but otherwise fine. My issue is i saw male employee didn’t wash hands after leaving bathroom cabin, please fix it before someone gets sick. He saw me and still didn’t bother washing, seems like a culture thing…

The food is awful, and I mean it’s the worst Chinese food I have ever had. It was so bad that you’re better off going to Panda Express or some cheap dive Chinese restaurant, and the Chinese fast food places at the mall food court are better then the food at Truly Sichuan.

Enjoyed every dish here. It was a bit expensive than other Chinese restaurants but worth it.💗

Best vegetarian mapo tofu ever!! It’s my favorite meal and so hard to find, and it’s done so much better than I can make at home here I love to go here for a special treat even though it’s a little far away I make the trip, and it’s actually spicy too! It comes with rice which is generous but I like it so much I don’t even need the rice, and the green tea is amazing

We dined in this restaurant on a whim and it was overall a good experience. It seems like more of a take-out place, so expect that vibe. That said, the spicy pork soup dumplings were really good and so was the orange chicken. The pork chow fun was mostly pork - wish there was a bit more noodles, but the taste was still good.
