This is a little hole in the wall place with the best food an best staff. They can seat our group of 8 on a moments notice. The food is always good and there is plenty to take home for later.

Perfectly balanced flavors and textures. Dan Dan noodles were numbing and delicious, light and sweet along with the Szechuan peppercorn effect. Home style tofu had crispy cooked veggies and a hearty sauce.

I got the Fish w/ Soft Tofu & a cappuccino. I actually love the food here, the flavor and portions are great but this last visit I finished my coffee and discovered a German roach nymph in my ice.... gross!! You guys need to hire an exterminator ASAP.

Its so sad how this place has really good food but the service is horrible, at least with our group.When we got there they sat us down and when asked what we wanted to drink he gave us attitude.Once we got our food they never came back to check up on us, ignored us the whole time. We were the only people in the restaurant.

Delicious food and great service. Portion sizes are family style, so we always leave with leftovers. Try their specialties because they are unlike any Chinese food you will find in Austin. Very fast- and family owned.My absolute favorite dish is the Sichuan stir-fried chicken, definitely recommend trying it!Vegetarian options: Several dishes have options to trade out the protein for veggies or tofu, and they have a whole section for vegetarianParking: There is plenty of parking at dinner time. This shopping center's businesses are closed in the evening, so there won't be any issues finding parking.Wheelchair accessibility: My husband is a wheelchair user, the ramp is accessible and their dining area has plenty of room.

Really love the food, every dish I’ve gotten is great and authentic.I do like the decoration, but it’s just very dark. I think it could be a fine atmosphere for dinner sometimes but I generally am not a fan care for the lighting.

Stood in the lobby for ten minutes being blatantly ignored by the older couple running the place, I mean walking and talking around me like I was furniture. When he finally spoke to me he was short and dismissive even going so far as to shake his head at me like I was wasting his time picking up my take out. Food was average, not worth the comical level of disrespect.

Went with a large group of 11 friends for one's birthday lunch on New Year's Eve. Service was fantastic, the food was delicious & we had a great time. We ordered about 8 different plates and still had leftovers!! Very fresh tasting food, much better than buffet quality thru & thru.

Go for the food. Very authentic and delicious. Try something different than your usual. Ask for recommendations. You won’t be disappointed. Sichuan River is the real thing. Dine in or take out. Twice cooked pork - OMG! Eggplant in garlic sauce - yes! One of the great old Austin eateries!Parking: Lots of parking, easy access.
