Went back to "Little Chengdu," which used to be "Little Sichuan" in San Mateo. Happy they're open again after the pandemic. The new place is smaller but feels cozy. Had a nice surprise when my partner debated a third dish; I remembered their big portions, so I said no. The Cold Noodle was still big enough for both of us!My favorite, the Sichuan Spicy Cold Noodle, was as good as always. Big portion, tasty sauce—satisfying.Tried Tea Smoked Duck for the first time, and it was better than expected. Tastes like smoked turkey with a hint of tea. Smelled a bit smoky, but the flavor was excellent, not too bitter. Just a heads up, parking around the area might be a bit difficult.

Dishes taste good. They will make it spicy if you ask. They don't really use peppercorns, so some of their dishes are slightly disappointing considering this is a sichuan spot.

What I can’t stand is fried frozen fish…and it’s $50 after tax! The price is good for fresh sea bass. Don’t think that customers won’t eat it. You will when you find out.It's too late!

As someone from Chongqing, I must say that they serve the most authentic Sichuan fish dishes in the bay area. My favorite is the whole live fish with three kind of

I'm not an expert on Szechuan cuisine by any means, but this has got to be one of the best places places to try it in its authentic form. First off.. the portions are enormous. They must expect you to have 12 people at your table. At least double the portion size id expect. Value is excellent when you take that into account.There's a wait but it moves pretty quick. Dining room is modern and very clean and well lit. Service is efficient but English isn't their first language so rely on the QR code to do the ordering and you'll get little help if you ask questions about the dishes. But the food is sooo good!Hot and Sour Soup - the "small" bowl serves 5 generously. An excellent rendition of a classic. Great wood ear mushrooms and lots of tofu and bamboo shoots. Tasted fresh and well spiced.Mu shu chicken: we picked one western style dish and this was amazing. Great wok flavor, the right balance of meat and veggies, and leftovers for days.Snow pea greens: crisp, tender, not too fibrous, not too garlicky. Maybe the best I've had.Fish fillet with tofu - we didn't choose well. Lots of numbing heat and strange funky fermented chilis. Not a dish for noobs! But very high quality ingredients and they probably did an excellent job for what the dish is supposed to be (we think).Prices were more than fair given the portion sizes. Parking was easy on the street.We can't wait to get back and try lots of the other dishes, especially more of the challenging ones.
Food was decent. Good spices and flavoring. The fish was Salmon which is weird for Chinese food.Found a cockroach in the

We came here on a weekday with some friends and this place was packed for dinner time. Seeing this was our first time, our friends who frequent this place ordered a lot of food. We were not disappointed. The notable dishes were the smoked duck that tasted very lean and not fatty like turkey which was interesting and the spicy fish fillet. Overall, all the dishes we ordered tasted good. If you like Sichuan spicy Chinese food, this is the place to go.

It is not close at 9: 30pm, it is actually 9pm. We specifically took a lyft of 40＄to come to eat at 9: 05 and being told the kitchen is closed. It is wrong information and misleading！
