Sichuan Taste Chinese Restaurant

First getting food from here and excited about the reviews. We ordered the pork fried rice, chicken chow mein, broccoli beef, pork pot stickers, Dan Dan noodles and vegetable spring rolls. We had it delivered so I can't speak to the ambiance of the restaurant or friendliness of the staff. The food came well packaged. The pot stickers were ok and the vegetable spring rolls stood out between the two appetizers. The main dishes hand fried rice were all great! The meats (pork, beef and chicken) were all very tender and flavorful. The broccoli was cooked but still crisp. The Dan Dan noodles had a nice mild spice with lots of flavor. We were all super impressed with the flavors of each dish and will definitely return.

The food was amazing. We ordered the garlic spicy woodear, minced pork with garlic, and peppercorn fish. The taste of every dish was authentic, flavorful, and fresh. The ingredients they used were of quality. I would definitely go back again and again for some authentic, quality Chinese food.The service was great as well. The waitress was friendly and very sweet.

Surprised at the food quality. We had several dishes. A spicy soup that I forgot the name of is excellent. It's full of Szechuan peppercorns so it has lots of zing. The service was pretty quick. They weren't busy, other than takeout . I think my girlfriend and I were - of 2 couples in the place.I don't know of another Szechuan place with any credibility in town, so I'm sure I'll be back when the mood strikes me.

Order: Combination fried ricePros: portion was great and the food was hot.Cons: unfortunetly this was not it. For $15 I expected better. The rice was not seasoned at all. I had a few big pieces of meat and big shrimp that ended up being eatin before I finished the rice. i expected smaller pieces of meat throughout the entire dish. I have never had friend rice that was white believe it or not. This isnt the authentic chinese food I was looking for. Also, no fortune cookie boo.

Worth a stop if you're craving spicy and authentic Sichuan food in downtown PDX.Tucked between a convenience store and poker room in a scrappy neighborhood, this spot has a variety of authentic Sichuan dishes at reasonable prices. Very enthusiastic and warm welcome by the male server, who darted from way inside the restaurant to the entrance. He flipped through the menu, verifying the availability of authentic Chinese dishes and ushered us to a table.For our party of 5, we ordered the water boiled fish soup, twice cooked pork, stir-fried green beans, stir-fried bok choy, eggplant in garlic sauce. Rice is by the bowl, not included with each dish.Water boiled fish was quite spicy, in a flavorful broth, and generous amounts of fish. Be warned, it is oily, but that's how it's supposed to be.Twice-cooked pork was pretty standard, although generous in meat. Slices of leek helped break up the thinly sliced pieces of pork belly.Bok choy was surprisingly very good, very fresh and had an umami (not just the flavor of salt, and no additional MSG).Stir-fried green beans hit the mark, definitely flash fried in scalding oil to create those threadlike ridges along the bean.The eggplant in garlic sauce surprisingly ranked lowest in the group - vinegar-ier than the sweet flavor we are used to. However, very vibrant and fresh eggplant in the dish.

I just had a watery bowl of beef noodle soup. The place had all chinese people in here... i dont know why. Very strange. My soup was worse than a cup of noodles.

A mixed bag, not sure if I'd order again but maybe so. It's Xmas, so it could definitely just be a busy/off night. Soup dumplings: 5/10, tasted better with some chili oil from the potstickers. They might be from frozen. Potstickers and String Bean Beef: 6/10, both tasty enough but not outstandingSichuan popcorn chicken: 7/10 quite good, remarkably still crispy after delivery and waiting a bit to eat. Good seasoning. Pork Friend Rice: 2/10, something about Portland doesn't lend itself to actually fried rice. Almost all the fried rice I've gotten in this town has been just steamed rice with stuff added. In this case, I'm pretty sure the pork was accidentally chicken, or it was very very bland like boiled pork strips. All I wanted for Xmas was some fried rice. I'll doctor up the leftovers (and fry them!), but I'm begging this town:FRY YOUR FRIED RICE, PORTLAND!

My favorite Chinese spot in portland so far, they have a large menu full of tons of weird shit I want to come back & try (bullfrog soup, pickled jalapeno pig Intestines & the like). They also have the regular Chinese American stuff like General Tso or whatever but I recommend trying some of their specialties here, you can get orange chicken at any Chinese spot. I've tried the Sichuan Boiled Beef which was loaded generously w/ tender slices of beef & many veggies, and most importantly the right amount of Sichuan spice. The portions here are huge, soup comes out in practically a cauldron. The entrees are usually around $18-20ish and mine made for 3 huge meals). The inside is pretty sparse and the location isn't the cleanest area downtown but they have great food.

I had Sichuan Taste back when they first opened and I could have sworn I did a review back then since they opened during a difficult time for restaurants during Covid, but I've been noticing some of my reviews disappearing. I've only had ST maybe 3-4 times since they opened...they are about 7 blocks or so away from my work, so a bit too far for me to go on a typical lunch run (especially if the weather is bad), and while their food is exceptional (actually DT Portland has quietly become pretty strong for authentic Sichuan Chinese food (Duck House, Xin Ding, Stretch the Noodle, Sichuan Taste, Tasty Corner, Pixiu Mala Hongtang, etc), my favorite family style Chinese isn't too far from my house, Sichuan City.After this most recent takeout run, I just noticed how similar the websites are for Sichuan Taste and Sichuan City. I learned that they shared the same owner, which is fantastic news, because now I can safely order some of my favorites from SC and know I'll get the same great preparation at ST. Food came nicely packaged and portion sizes and pricing were all solid and I'll be trying to add ST to my rotation of takeout restaurants at work more often even tho it's a bit too far from where I'm at.

Explored downtown for some good Sichuan Chinese food on a recommendation from a friend. Great flavor in all the dishes, very friendly staff that will accommodate your tastes. Comparable to Duckhouse, my other favorite Sichuan restaurant. Ambiance is a bit lacking but most of that is due to the downtown vibe outside. Cheering inside. Garlic cucumber was awesome! Cumin Beef was my favorite. My son like the popcorn spicy chicken but the star of the night was the green bean chicken dish ordered by my mother in law. The prices were low, I expected to pay more for 5 dishes and 2 appetizers. Overall great experience, give it a try. Take out business was popping as well..
