Szechuan Restaurants near Kirkland, WA

“First timer of this restaurant... This is definitely Authentic Home Made Chinese Food , made by Real Chinese People! Yummy! 5*****“

“Best dumplings outside of china.“

“This feels like a hidden gem? The food and service were good. We had complimentary hot tea, hard to enjoy on a warm day but welcomed. I ordered the garlic eggplant, water boiled fish, and one of the lamb dish that had onions. Everything came out so delicious and as I expected from previous sichuanese restaurant experiences. The food is served family style on a large plate with one serving spoon. It can be difficult to eat the food with chopsticks as it gets oily real quick but they provide a spoon upon request. I would love to come back as often as possible if I were closer. It's also pretty affordable for the amount of food received.“

“Had lunch here today for the first time. The food was phenomenal and the staff were friendly. This might be my new favorite restaurant in Seattle CID.“

“There's this unexpected gem, you MUST try, in the U-District! It's the Red Pepper Chinese Cuisine! They are this great clean and fairly fast restaurant, that serves up hearty and delicious meals! Most of their entrées serve 2 or more people (almost family style), so bring your appetite!!! We had their Dry Pot dish, where you can choose 5 mix and match ingredients, on their menu. A Stir-Fried Noodle, with Chicken and a Deep Fried Chicken Soft Bone, with RED PEPPER! 😉🔥🌶 Everything was super delicious and filling!!! It looks like they have great lunch specials too, so go check them out and lmk what you try! Cheers!“

“Wonderful! atmosphere and fresh food!“

“The service was great . I liked the fish items .“

“My one and only hotpot place to go at Seattle. The food was fresh, flavorful, and there was a great variety of ingredients to choose from. Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were generous. The service Emma was so nice and professional. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal! Definitely a great spot for hot pot with friends or family.“

“Changing my review because the food was actually extremely delicious and generous portion which makes the price point reasonable. Still not sure why I wasn't able to get any sauces (soy sauce, chili oil) but it sounds like they addressed that. I would recommend this restaurant and will go back once I'm back in town.“

“Excellent 🥘, great portions.“

“There are a handful of restaurants that I’d seriously vouch for in Seattle/Bellevue - Dan Gui is definitely top of the list.

I don’t think I have any notes. The food was phenomenal. Everything was made with intention to perfection - the spicy pork, the tofu, and the green beans. The tofu with crispy skin and a soft filling inside was just too good. The portion was very generous, and even when I thought I overate, the food went down really well. Quality ingredients & not overly oily for the Sichuan cuisine!

I appreciate I could sit & talk for a while at this place without the server even once approaching the table or rushing us out. Once I needed service, everyone was attentive. Food came out extremely fast as well - for a decently sized menu, the kitchen must have internalized every item extremely well to be able to push out dishes so fast.

Extremely impressed. Such a wonderful hidden gem. I will certainly return and make sure everyone I know know about this place.“

“Review on 6/5/26
This is our must go restaurant whenever we visit Lynnwood. The quality has stayed the same if not better over the years and the portion is huge, not to mention the reasonable price. Lunch special for $10.99 with so many options it's unheard of in the Seattle area.
Review from 6 yrs ago:
Most authentic Sichuan food in greater Seattle area. Owners and cook are from Sichuan. We ordered pickled vegetable and fish soup and it was so yummy. It doesn't have the packaged powder smell to it and the soup was really creamy and the pickled vegetables tasted crisp and refreshing. We also ordered the dry pot with pork intestines. It was flawless, crispy but not greasy. Everything was fresh. Waiter was warm and welcoming. We didn't want it too spicy and the cook came out to check on us, which was very nice. You know it's authentic when their least spicy dishes still have red pepper on it. We don't eat spicy food and their mildest is perfect.
They have added more dishes to the menu. What we tried are delicious.“

“We had a wonderful dining experience at Tasty szechuan in Bellevue and wanted to leave a well-deserved 5-star review.

A special thank you to a red-haired server whose name we unfortunately didn’t catch. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable throughout our meal. When we were deciding what to order, she took the time to explain the menu and make thoughtful recommendations based on our preferences.

Her recommendation of the smoked lamb ribs with tea leaf ended up being the highlight of the entire meal. We probably wouldn’t have ordered it on our own, but we’re so glad we listened to her suggestion. The lamb was tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked, with no strong gamey flavor. The subtle tea aroma added a unique depth of flavor that made the dish truly memorable. Everyone at the table loved it and agreed it was the standout dish of the night.

The rest of the food was excellent as well—fresh ingredients, beautiful presentation, and authentic flavors. Combined with the outstanding service, it made for a fantastic dining experience from start to finish.

Please pass along our appreciation to the red-haired server. Her professionalism, warmth, and excellent recommendation made a great meal even better. We will definitely be back and highly recommend tasty szechuan to anyone looking for great Sichuan cuisine in Bellevue.“

“Outstanding food and excellent customer service! We ordered several dishes for the table, including dumplings, sesame chicken, lo mein, and fried rice. Every single item was delicious and beautifully presented. The flavors tasted authentic and balanced, not overly salty or greasy like some places. The staff checked on us regularly and made sure our drinks stayed full. Wonderful dining experience from start to finish.“

“awesome food. filled to the brim, worth the drive from Kent! the service was attentive and kind. food got out quick and when they say it's spicy. boy do they mean it! 5/5!“

“Got the sour veggie Szechuan fish with fatty beef, tripe and taro and it was pretty good. The spice and numbing levels are probably higher than average in this area, so I recommend going with 1 spice and numbing. I thought the service was pretty good and both servers were Cantonese.“

“I really love coming to this restaurant. The owner is incredibly friendly, and the staff are always smiling and welcoming—it just makes the whole place feel warm and comfortable.

The food is consistently delicious, and they pay great attention to details. Every time I ask for something like “no spicy,” they always get it right, which I really appreciate.

The owner is also very attentive—whenever customers need anything, he’s quick to come over and help. The service here is genuinely excellent.

This is definitely a place we come back to regularly. The prices are reasonable, and the overall value is great. Highly recommend!“

“The song selection here is amazing and includes so many different languages. It’s so cool that the machine has YouTube built right into it! We're here for a company gathering, and we have a lot of teammates who aren’t native English speakers. The owners really went above and beyond to make this setup so inclusive for different languages.“

“Best fried rice ever!! I’m vegan and this place has amazing vegan options: tofu, fried rice, veggies, etc. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are huge. The service was also 10/10 and the atmosphere was just an amazing place. I will 100% be coming back here again. Thank you so much!“

“The food was excellent, and the waitress was very attentive. I had the wonton soup, crispy honey walnut chicken, garlic string beans, and the short ribs. Every dish was very good. If I had to choose a favorite it was probably the honey walnut chicken because it had a very satisfying crispy texture on the outside.“

“This restaurant is underrated in overall, delicious meals with large portions with cheap prices. We keep returning to ordering meals almost weekly. One thing is you should disregard the inside tables/chairs are out of date, because the restaurant puts more efforts into the quality menu. Its front door is opened on the streets side, so people often missed it. I encourage you try them when you get a chance.“
