“Our first visit here, though we love Northern Chinese food. We especially enjoyed the Cumin Lamb and the Crispy Fish main dishes. We also enjoyed Chicken Fried Rice and Hot and Sour Soup. Portions are larger than average for Chinese restaurants and that and the very high quality fully justify the prices!“
“Amazing food! Fresh, bright, clean, distinctive flavors. Had to try the Wasabi cream prawns. Really good, but rich, so dishes with good cut (acid, heat, picancy) to go back and forth with is recommended. Had exactly that with the beef and onion dish, which had assertive levels of white onion and/or ginger in some bites, and a nice moderate level of garlic and green onion. Also had the eggplant, which was quite nicely spicy, perfectly cooked, exactly what I was craving. This is far above the typical local Chinese restaurant, and for the same price. The only thing typical was the tea. It was fine, but I'd suggest they get better. Maybe trial a higher priced premium option. I'd pay more for tea that matches the level of their food.“
“Szechuan Chef moved out of their main stream building and is now Word of Mouth dining- so you will get first rate service without the push of the crowds! Favorite dish: Cold Mixed Beef with hot sauce. This is the best in town- beef sliced thin- no rubbery thick pieces you find at other restaurants. They use the szechuan pepper liberally in this dish, and in their other menu items- your tongue will thank you! I am always disappointed with the lack of szechuan pepper at other places I've tried.The soup dumpling sauce is amazing! Rich and flavorful- not the watered down soy sauce other places do. Try the Hometown lamb pot for an explosion of flavor with natural bamboo shoots. The authentic menu items here bring out the people looking for delicious Szechuan food, and you are greeted with friendly staff who will recommend dishes if you ask their advice!“
“This little stand in the Happy Valley Food Hall is serving up some REAL Chinese food. I was so impressed with the flavor of their cucumber "salad" which is just so tasty it's addicting - with so much garlic, it'll scare away any virus. Their beef roll is so delicious - I love that it has a great balance of beef and LOTS of scallions which always make it taste so much better. The scallion pancake holding it all together is delicious and not too greasy.I'm not a huge fan usually of battered, fried, sweet chicken, but their General Tso's chicken was really good! I loved the savory/sweetness balance they've accomplished. I plan on working my way thru their entire menu.I can't wait to try everything!“
