Sichuan House

The rave reviews are accurate. We picked 4 items to share & all were delicious! The restaurant is located in a small strip mall. Ver unassuming. They do accept reservations via the Open Table app. We did not need them on a Thursday evening in January but we can definitely see how this place can get busy. From the hostess to the servers and chef, we had excellent service. The staff know the menu very well and can walk even the pickiest eater to a fabulous meal.Food is brought out as soon as it is ready in the kitchen. Our first dish was the sautéed green beans. Don't miss these. We ate the straight off the serving platter. Next came the salt & pepper shrimp along with a side of perfectly cooked rice. The shrimp were plump and flavorful. We also order the chicken spring rolls & shrimp/pork fried dumplings. Both came with a signature chili oil sauce. Our tip of the trip is to order some of their homemade garlic ginger soy sauce for dipping. It's delicious. We can't wait to come back and bring our tribe. We have so many more dishes to try.

LOCATION:Near the freeway, which is good, but in a slanted strip center with a small, shared parking lot, which is a slight downside. Inside is a little bare, but better than being cluttered. Cool people and service has always been professional.FOOD:Awesome food and a lot of options. The Mongolian Beef is pictured below. The meat is really good on its own, but it's been served with a lot of onions when I've had it, and I would prefer more green/red peppers instead. The portion was great, and with the rice, I'm usually full. I also really like the crispy dumplings. Always would recommend them. One note is mild spice is USUALLY just barely spicy. I would go at least medium if you enjoy some heat. They have some good, more authentic-style Chinese food as well. The Chuan and the Spicy Garlic Chicken are awesome. Finally, it is BYOB if you plan on drinking.Overall, awesome place for some legit Chinese food. Not too much extra pizzazz, but the flavors are what matter most in my opinion, and they are usually A+.

Sichuan house what is the best Chinese food I have ever had and that is not an exaggeration. I enjoyed going there with a big group of coworkers because we got to eat family style and try a lot of things. The Dan pork belly was amazing perfectly crispy but also sweet and juicy. The tea smoked duck was crispy and the flavors were so incredible. there was no gaminess with the duck. It was just pure Flavor.I am not a big vegetable person, but the green beans were delicious and I am regretting not asking for the recipe because I wanna make that at home. They had the perfect amount of char and flavor.

Yet another place we have been wanting to try for years and finally came around to it. Just want to start off with this. The service is impeccable! They should give classes to 99% of the service industry on how to treat a customer! 5 for that! The food was great. I was little disappointed in certain aspects. One, the food was not spicy like we were expecting. I know we tend to say that. When we expect spice, we want spice. It feels like it may be toned down a bit. The other places in town, like dashi, and maybe even sichuan garden, spice is spice! Don't get me wrong the food was great! We started with the hand folded wontons, soup dumplings, and hot and sour soup/egg drop. Those were all fantastic! Also they bring hot tea to you in a pot that keeps it hot, and keep serving yourself! The entrees is were it was hit and miss. We try to mix it up with ordering favs and different menu items. The rice freak of course had the shrimp fried rice, the adults ordered the kung pao, and the timeless Mongolian. The rice was great. Here are my gripes with the adults dishes. As much pepper the kung pao has, it wasn't spicy? It was actually confusing. The Mongolian, well I get it was safe, but it doesn't mean lack flavor...it was by far everyone's most disappointing dish. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and we will visit again at a later date, to try other dishes.

In San Antonio for work. 5 of us came in last night. Looks kinda likea hole in the wall but the food is outstanding. Staff was very friendly as well. We pretty much sampled a lot of the menu. The Don Po pork, sichuan pork, the tea duck, cold noodles, fungi sampler, crispy spicy savory chicken, SICHUAN salt and pepper chicken, bok Choi ... it was all very good! The house made chili oil is freaking delicious!!!!!

This is about as good as it gets in the area. If you like Suchuan style, I imagine it's hard to beat the authentic flavors that Sichuan House offers. The location is nestled in a little strip mall, not too many seats but there is a side room for larger parties. L Service here was great and our server took the time to look up the ingredients and explain the menu. There are so many options on the menu, I'm looking forward to coming back and trying them all!

Finally tried this spot that has been on my list for far too long. We made a reservation although when we showed up at 630 during the week we were the only ones there. The waitress gave us the rundown on the food, how it's family style, and things come out as they're ready. I ordered the hot and sour soup which was really good but lukewarm. We also ordered the soup dumplings (the main reason we came here). We were told they take about 20 minutes which we were fine with. They were decent soup dumplings but not the best I've had. We then shared the pork belly. It was served with A LOT of sauce which I don't think it needed that much. But the pork belly was super tender and delicious. They offered a side of steamed rice with it which I think was necessary because of the amount of sauce. But overall, good service, tasty dishes.

Decided to go for something different tonight and wasn't disappointed. Small, clean, superior service and outstanding food. So tasty so here's a quick rundown.Garlic bok chop, gets in your vegetables so you have something to help with spicy food and nice, clean and fresh flavor.Salt and pepper shrimp. Great light coating and fabulous flavor. If you like spicy, go for mala dry pot. Omg, so fantastic. We will be back and highly recommend.

I finally got to try Sichuan House after seeing episode on DDD. We picked up a couple of different dishes to try out. The service was quick. The ambiance inside was quiet. The "Guardian of the Palace" dish was amazing. I enjoyed how they cooked the tofu, which is something difficult to find done well here in SA. Highly recommend coming here if you are into Asian Fusion style food.

I was seated upon entering without a wait on a Saturday. Truly authentic spot but the service was not up to par. Somehow everybody's food kept coming out before mine although they had arrived after me? When I checked in on my order, it was wrong so it prolonged my wait. It took almost an hour just to get the first part of meal. The appetizers (wonton & rolls) did come out quickly.Besides that, they played good music and overall the place is clean and not too loud. Here's my rating on everything I ordered:*Hand-Folded Wontons (plain broth): 3/5 - I didn't like the taste of the pork in the dumpling.*Spring Rolls (Veggie): 5/5 - very tasty and you get 6 total with a spicy sauce *Lo Mein (Mixed/Mildly Spicy): 2/5 - The beef is dry and the shrimp is small. I asked for spicy and it was bland so I had to return it..*The Spicy Cumin (Beef): Unfortunately my plate was never brought to me or prepared. An hour and 10 minutes later, I decided to leave and go somewhere else.
