Sichuan City

The vibes and food in this restaurant are very authentic. The dishes are plentiful portion wise, and all of the dishes we tried were absolutely delicious.We loved the pork with the steamed buns - that dish is savory and sweet and so very satisfying. Their chow mein was also very tasty.Another favorite of ours was the eggs with tomato - that's such a basic Chinese home style dish but when it's done well, there's just something so addicting about it and they do it right here.

We were craving the Salted Egg York Shrimp with Shell, $28.95: it was delicious! You can order it without shell. This is the only spot we know of that offers this uniquely delicious dish. It doesn't come with rice so you have to order it, $1.50 for a cup of steamed rice. This is my biggest rant, Asian restaurants charge for steamed rice!!!!!Wor Wonton Soup, $14.95: clear broth but a bit salty for my taste. I was disappointed that the filling was not mixed of pork and shrimp. Instead the shrimp came whole and separately from the pork only filled wonton. I didn't appreciate the random cut pieces of pork and beef. There were barely any bok choy. We braved ourselves with a new dish, Green Pepper with Shredded Potato, $14.95: we still don't know what to make of it! It had a vinegar after taste, crunchy at every bite, a few pieces of green bell pepper to matched its name. Beside that, there was not much else with flavor. It was definitely strange and bland for us. Quick and sufficient service. Interesting drawings for wall decoration.

Still great! We always order the beef in golden broth and the sweet and sour ribs! Usually we get one or two other things to try! The dumplings on chili oil are really great! Eggplant is my favorite of the veggie options! The people working inside (assuming husband and wife duo?) are always very friendly! Try to park as far away from Winco as possible. Not the greatest parking lot. But always worth the trip here. They also package to-go orders in quality containers that do not leak, assuming everything stays upright!

One of my favorite restaurants my boyfriend and I always have in rotation!! The food always comes out hot and delicious each and every single time we visit. We typically get the spicy Sichuan prawns, sweet and sour fish fillet and a type of veggie dish. This time we got the salted egg yolk prawns, and eggplants. And of course the sweet and sour fish fillets. It did NOT disappoint. The prawns were bouncy and supple with each bite- the egg yolk was a perfect salty flavor dusted with ample egg yolk. The eggplant dish was great, I don't normally like eggplant but I will say I will eat eggplant again if I could have it from here every single time! The fish fillet is a perfect sauce coating and lots of pieces are given. The service is fast. We're seated pretty quickly with a menu and water- even during pretty busy dinner hours. Ambiance for the most part is quiet, but there has been some days where it's busy during dinner times making it pretty lively. Lots of parking in the complex. Will always recommend this place to folks.

Food here was probably the best chinese I have had!5 star for food for sure but location and ambiance was meh. It's in a strip mall on 82nd in Happy Valley so if I hadn't read a review in Portland Monthly I would NEVER have known ot given this place a chance. I wanted to knock down a star for that, but I would rather have amazing food at a good price than a fancy location and be charged twice as much.Portions were huge and defintely family sharing friendly. We came here with friends and ordered a few different dishes and I highly encourage you to try things that you wouldn't normally order. As the name suggests, this is Sichuan style food and different than your regular chinese american over sauced cheap chinese. Somethings we ordered were standard because I have a child who wanted chow mein and I myself wanted to try the dry cooked string beans, which can be found at other places but this version was not overly saucy or greasy and def had a kick to them, so I was a fan.We had the Cumin Lamb and it did not taste gamey at all but was thinly sliced tender lamb seasoned with cumin and and chili seasoning that was spicy and full of flavor but not burning hot. It was so good and I highly recommend it!! My friend also ordered a kung pao chicken which is kinda a standard dish but she said it was the best she had ever had.My daughter also ordered the Golden egg yolk tofu, thinking it was firmer and was not happy with the texture as the egg sauce had a bit of graininess to it. HOWEVER, I had some for breakfast and it was so yummy, the silky tofu and egg was a wonderful substitute for eggs with toast this morning!I also love eggplant and had really wanted to try out the mashed eggplant with century egg and green pepper that I had read about but the menu had it listed as something weird like mashed pepper egg or something to that effect. I loved it and have never had anything like it at an asian restaurant. The flavor was really tasty and (beware) there are chunks of green century eggs in there that I really enjoyed but my friend was a lil scared of. Lol.They also seem to be popular for their fish soups and soups in general and if I could get everyone else to share with me I woulda tried it out, but I didn't want to order a $40 huge vat for me to try a cup. But maybe I can find a friend who is more adventurous to go with me!I almost forgot to take some photos so the one I did snap were of the food left after dinner and there was a lot! Such a great bargain for the quality and portion sizes. I can't wait to go back again!!

Attentive staff. Very nice spot with wall drawings. The food was piping hot. We order the eggplant in hot garlic sauce, sweet and sour fish fillets, and salted egg yolks shrimp. Very generous with the salted yolk on the shrimp. Would definitely recommend these 3 dishes and will be back to try others!

Ordered Door Dash from this place during covid. I fell in love with the chow mein. I think it was combination. Finally decided to dine in this week. It was early evening and we were the only ones there, but folks started slowly arriving. Lots of seating. They have one big round table with a lazy susan for a large party. Nice to know. Everything on the menu sounded super good. I ordered the pork chow mein, sweet and sour shrimp and the pork with hot garlic sauce. We started out with a big bowl of egg drop soup. That would definitely feed 4 or even 6 people. It was HUGE!omg the food was delish. If I were at home, I'd lick the last of that hot garlic sauce. It was the right amount if spice and sweetness. The flavor was super yum. I want to go back and try something else off the menu because I have a feeling it's going to taste super good.

Wow. So good, soo cheap and sooo biiig. If you can try to bring a hungry ass team so u can try more stuff, each entree can easily feed 3-4 and they're normal priced for portland restaurants at around $18-20! Not sure if they are related to Sichuan taste in downtown portland but very similar menu, not as much weird shit like hot pot gizzards and bullfrogs lol but still quite expansive, and I'm sure you could find something on there you'd never dare eat.- Duck necks: not sure what I was expecting but yup they were just duck necks. Served cold which was interesting. Not very meaty but there's a good pile of them. Had a bit of 5 spice flavor w/ some peppercorn afterburn. Def not a first date app, there's no way to eat it w/o gnawing like a dog.- Wonton soup: simple but delicious. Also huge w/ a ton of wontons & we were pleasantly surprised by the addition of chicken and shrimp. The chicken was so tender too. $14 for like a half gallon haha.- Fried rice: as an Asian sometimes I feel silly for ever paying for this but it's honestly nice to have as a side dish. Very light and fluffy, not greasy.- Szechuan Hot Beef Soup: my go to order at Sichuan places, perfect amount of numbing peppercorn spice and toons of tender beef. This place is tied w/ Sichuan Taste for the best Chinese restaurants I've been to anywhere ever. It is NOT Chinese-American which is why I like it, but you could still bring someone who only likes Panda Express as they have some of the Kung pao & orange chicken type stuff for those afraid of real flavor. The two of us spent $70 for all that food plus a beer and after we ate as much as we could possibly fit (til it was painful) we left w/ about 7 more meals to go. Incredible value honestly don't know how they can charge that low. Service is very efficient and Chinese.

I did a to go order of the beef chow mein and sweet and sour fish. First off everything was done on time, hot & fresh, in quality to go containers. The sweet & sour sauce was even separate. This was my first time ordering the fish and it was great! 10/10, would order again. Now to the chow mein, man for this to be a sichuan style food their chow mein is very America Chinese which is AMAZING. I will come back again and again just for the chow mein. 20/10 will be back

Takeout order consisted of pork fried rice, ant on the tree, dry cooked string beans with pork, home style stir fried lamb, chicken lo mein and dry pot spareribs and prawns. Everything was amazing, but the lamb was exceptional. Will be getting that dish again the next time I place an order, and there are a lot more items on the menu that I want to try.
