Chuan Fu 川府

Spicy I can handleWhatI got a number of dishes (as it should be)- grilled fish: THE WAS SO GOOD! The fish was fresh, I liked that the meat was not as spicy (I don't have the master Szechuan level of spicy taste buds). I love the additional items in it as well, there was soy curd, potatoes, cauliflower (could use more), wood ear, noodles.- Special cured pork fried rice: this was also pretty good. I am not a big pork fan, but the fried rice was done well. Each rice glistened in the oils of the pork. The cured pork wasn't as fragrant as I imagined but nonetheless very good- La Zi Chicken - this was the least fav of the 3 dishes. There was a strong sweet taste to it, which made it a little too sweet. Didn't expect it. EnvironmentVery very nice environment. In the winter park area in a plaza, this restaurant is on the end of the building, there is external seating outside. The inside is a nice sit down, good for dinner settings. Great vibe, there is a bar but it seems like they have limited alcohol offering, maybe they are not ready yet.Niceness of the staffI love that you can flag down any staff to get their attention. Very attentive, made sure we had everything we needed. Very friendlyDollarThree dishes for 2 people were close to 100. Maybe we ordered a little too much? Or maybe we need more people. The real chinese styleYesI would definitely return here for the grilled fish.

Chuan Fu in Winter Park has quickly become my newest favorite spot for Chinese food! My husband and I ordered our go-to dishes, Mapo Tofu and La Zi Chicken, and both were absolutely perfect. The portion sizes were good, and a bowl of rice comes with each dish.The flavors were outstanding--especially the Mapo Tofu, which had that perfect balance of spice and the signature tingly Sichuan pepper flavor. My husband couldn't stop raving about the La Zi Chicken; he loved how there was a generous amount of chicken, rather than just all chilies, and the flavors were bold and satisfying. While the prices are a bit on the higher side, it's still more affordable than Taste of Chengdu, and definitely worth it for the quality and experience. The interior of the restaurant is elegant and well-thought-out, giving off a fancy yet comfortable vibe. Service was above than average for a Chinese restaurant (if you know what I mean). We'll definitely be coming back!

Pretty good first visit. We dined here for a friend's birthday on a Saturday evening and it was packed! I highly recommend making a reservation or you may not get a table. They offer wide selection of different dishes that I would normally not try. For example, stir fry frog, dry fried pork chitterlings, stir fried kidneys etc. Definitely not my cup of tea on any day...lolThey do however offer a great selection of regular Chinese dishes along with traditional Sichaun dishes. It's a very lively place. Love the decor. I started my meal with the spring rolls. I would skip these next time. There was nothing special about them. For dinner I chose the sizzling beef dish which was very basic. Flavor was good and it came out on a hot cast iron plate. Next visit I would definitely order something with a little more spice. I had a chance to taste the cucumber salad which was delicious. Since it was my friend's birthday, they brought out fried donuts with ice cream. The donuts were good. It was a good way to end a fun evening.

I had the pleasure of dining here for dinner to celebrate a good friend's birthday. There was about 10 of us and each of us ordered something different on the menu. I'm a huge fan of good Chinese food so I was excited to dig in to some authentic sichuan spices. I ordered the sichuan wonton and egg rolls for my main dish. The steamed wontons were swimming in a pool of spicy chilli oil. It was so good that I dipped my egg rolls in it for that extra kick. And for dessert, I had the Zechuan Brown Sugar glutinous rice cake. This is a must try if you're in the mood for something pillowy soft, crispy edges on the outside with a chewy middle drizzled with honey on top.

My family and I love this place. It's one of our go to Chinese restaurants in Orlando. My kids are constantly asking to eat here and we recently celebrated my son's birthday there at his request and ordered for the whole table asked for the large table with the Lazy Susan so that we could all share our dishes. Many of the dishes are SPICY (how I prefer) and some even push my limits, but what I appreciate is, you can ask for many of the dishes to be less spicy, which we do when with our kids.The staff there is always so warm and accommodating to your requests. The space is great for a date night or hanging with some friends or larger parties. If you have a larger party and would like the table with the Lazy Susan, I recommend getting a reservation.One item that we order every time are the wontons, with a little bit extra spice. The frog hot pot and the various fish dishes are excellent. The hot and sour soup is really the only item that we've tried that was just OK. Everything else is full of flavor and has a nice kick. I highly recommend Chuan Fu!

Chuan Fu how I love you. Literally just order anything here and it will absolutely blow you away. The La Zi fish has become my replacement comfort food for the la zi tofu at chuan lu. The restaurant has great ambiance and decor. If you're in winter park, this is now my #1 restaurant in the area. I'd definitely give it a go it's absolutely fantastic every time. The service is also great. Literally everything is wonderful you cannot go wrong.

Chuan Fu is the perfect dinner spot for a large party! They have a HUGE round table with the largest lazy susan (spinning table top) I've ever seen in my life. We had 16 people for my birthday dinner and could actually talk to each other across the big table! It was so perfect. But the real highlight is the FOOD. Everything we ordered was incredible! My highlights were the twice cooked pork (a MUST), the green beans, cucumber salad, Chuan fu fried rice and the noodles! My husband is now obsessed with the Cumin Beef! (It's a lil spicy!) The service was great--we had a large party and everything came out correct and our water glasses were always full! We will definitely be back!

Every time I eat Chuan Fu it's hard not to order multiple things, I legit order what some consider might consider a "feast." The service is service, nothing to write home about but also I can't complain even if I wanted to. And the interior definitely gives "upscale" although I wouldn't consider this an upscale restaurant. Now, on to the food! For apps the cucumbers, pot stickers and eggroll are my favorite. But if I had to choose between the three, Im definitely going with the cucumbers. For entree, the rice! I love the veggie fried rice, but honestly you cant go wrong with any of the fried rice. As a person who is trying to cut back on beef (keyword: trying) - the cumin beef is well worth the exception. It definitely has that sichuan kick to it and a heat like no other. (not in a spicy way, but in a tingly way) Oh! And the dry fried green beans or the bok choy - is a great accompany to the table. Or you can order it all with no shame. Overall, whether you want the "americanized" Chinese food or to step out of your comfort zone and try something different - this is the place to do it!

We have been fans of Chuan Lu since they opened in the tiny little space next to its current location. In all these years we never had a bad meal there. We've been hesitant to try their new location because it looked a bit more pricey, but today I had a craving for sauerkraut fish fillet soup and it was on their menu. It's perfect for a very cold day like today, and their version was outstanding with depth of flavor, perfect tanginess from the pickled cabbage and generous portion of fish fillet. It was mid afternoon, so it was slow in there, which gave us time to talk with the waiter and the manager both you were very pleasant. I'm giving it five stars just based on the soup, but I look forward to going in again to try other dishes there, although I am looking forward to the original Chuan Lu re-opening.

Always loved coming here and was also a regular even at chuan lu for the longest time! Used to literally go 6x a week with my friends. However, when we went the other day we saw a huge price increase about $5-6 more per dish. Unfortunately, we will not be going back any longer because of how expensive this place has gotten. I understand about the inflation but a $5-6 charge increase per dish is just unacceptable. Do yourself a favor and visit haoweifang(szechuan alley) in Chinatown plaza! Their food is amazing and you great value for the meal! Also, make sure to try their mapo tofu!!! Discovered that place because of Mike chen
