    Pan Fried Pork Bun
    Josephine R.

    The food was delicious and hot, made fresh to order. Highly recommend this spot, the ambience is nice and the dining experience is great. Service was quick when I went. The pork dumplings were savory and you can tell the wrapper is made from scratch, the walnut shrimp and pan fried buns were also fantastic.

    Cumin lamb
    Megan P.

    Stopped by for a quick meal (6/3) & it took awhile for food to come out. It was busy & they seemed understaffed as only one server who did amazing but seemed overworked. Food was alright- cumin lamb was mostly onions & bell peppers / beef noodle soup tasted a sort of bland with eggy doughy noodles. It wasn't the best or the worst but props to the waitress there today who was friendly & inviting to everyone regardless of how much she was handling.

    The whole place is going under construction which could be good but your have to navigate the steel structures. You can't walk on the sidewalk. Today we did what most Asians do on Christmas and are at a Chinese Restaurant. They were busy around noon. The place is pretty small for a big group. We had a party of 15. They had 2 large round tables. I asked for the tables to be pushed together. She accomodated which was so nice of her. It was still very tight to maneuver around. Good was much better as well as service today. Poor lady had to wait on the entire restaurant but she did well. My favorites were the fish fillet, beef roll 10/10, green beans, spicy beef in a large bowl. I'm just thankful they were open on Christmas Day!

    Even though the front of the outdoor strip mall is currently under construction, it's absolutely worth the visit. The food is outstanding and service top notch. Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. They also offer Dim Sum, which was a pleasant surprise and definitely a highlight, delicious, and well prepared. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure we felt welcomed despite the construction. Don't let the renovation deter you, this place delivers great Szechuan Chinese food, excellent service, and quality Dim Dum. We'll definitely be back!!

    Forgot the official name of this dish, but it's the  chow fun noodles with chicken instead of beef.

    Ambiance was inviting. Nice decor and clean. Service was friendly and welcoming. The food...the chow fun noodle dish was too oily. Not terrible, but definitely oily. The pastry with meat...bbq flavor. It was tasty. The appetizer buns were sooooo yummy. Kristy on the outside but soft on the inside. So yummy! The dip was condensed milk. 3 stars because the noodles were sooooo yummy oily... but will definitely try it again, try another dish and give another review. Would definitely still recommend.

    Chow mein noodles with beef, chicken, broccoli, carrots, bean sprouts and onions. Second is pineapple rice with shrimp
    Manuel G.

    The food was hot and fresh. I asked for low salt in the eggplant but I should've asked for low salt on everything. The chow mien and the pineapple rice was too salty for me. I was really disappointed as I was hoping to eat the chow mien and rice the next couple of days. My wife enjoyed the eggplant and the vegetables. She said the eggplant was delicious.

    8/22/25 Pad see ewe, shrimp
    Jennifer W.

    8/22/25 Cozy little Chinese food restaurant in the plaza where 99 Ranch is located, quick, easy, friendly service, Ordered the shrimp pad see ewe, Mongolian beef & eggplant with chili garlic oil & it was ready in no time. When your total is $40 or more, you have the option for complimentary item, I opted for dessert-sesame balls. My eggplant & pad see ewe were pretty good, not better than most but still tasty. Hubby's Mongolian Beef, on the other hand, was not up to par. The beef was a bit tough to chew. Plus, the menu said it comes with vegetables and all there was-- lotsa onions (it should've just mentioned that, not "vegetables" as if there were 2-3 more kinds cooked with it). Portions were average for the price/value. Would we return? Perhaps, but not for the Mongolian beef.

    Food Rice- plain white rice is was perfectly cooked. Beef and peppers- again perfectly cooked and flavorful. Pork dumplings- very mushy texture but meat was seasoned well. Chicken fried noodle - tbh I asked for orange sauce for my chicken and it was never brought so I did not taste it at all but the noodles were very yummy. Egg rolls- were very very yummy Wish they had Sriracha sauce but Food was a 3/5 otherwise. Service- I honestly didn't care for there was 2 women there one was very hospitable the other was unprofessional was actually on her cell phone while Putting stuff on our table . Ambiance - small / clean/decorative.

    Came to check out this place after all the reviews but did not hit the spot. The dumplings were bland and lacked flavor even though they were juicy pork. The fried cheese wonton were delicious and cheesy. The beef in the stir fry was chewy and not cooked to perfection. Service was great but the place lacked in taste.

    The food was sooo delicious and not expensive. We had the orange chicken, beef soup and fried dumplings. Yummy!

    Cup Noodles is one of the most consistent restaurants I've ever been to. I've ordered online and…read moredined in person, and every time I get the same quality food. It's hot, tasty, and the same portion all the time. The store itself is in the same plaza as 99 ranch. It's a cute little cafe looking shop. Sometimes there's a wait to get in, but the turnover is mostly quick. You can order through Uber Eats or online through their website. My favorite is how numbing and actually spicy the dishes are. I love being in pain, and when you ask for spicy, you will get spicy. My go to is the chongqing zajiang or the yibin burning noodles. I've also tried chengdu zajiang and the sour pickled mustard with shredded pork, the stir fried potatoes, and the chicken with chili sauce. All dishes were excellent. They were very filling and delicious. The prices are extremely reasonable because they give you a good amount of food and the quality is great. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    I honestly don't understand the positive reviews. After eating Asian food for many years, this was…read moreone of the worst dining experiences I've had. We ordered the cold chicken and cold beef appetizers, and both were disgusting. They were cold, unappealing, and lacked the quality I would expect from a restaurant charging these prices. The chicken fried rice had very little chicken and seemed to have way too much soy sauce. The tofu with white rice was also bland and not appealing. The noodles were extremely al dente--almost like they were cooked for an Italian pasta dish. Meanwhile, the dumplings were overcooked. The service was another disappointment. Our server didn't even ask what we wanted to drink. We all ended up with water because the server never came back to offer us anything else. And then came something I found absolutely ridiculous: we were told by the servers that if the restaurant became busy, we might have to move from our table or share the table with other customers. What kind of dining experience is that? If I'm paying restaurant prices for my meal, I expect to be able to sit at my table and enjoy my dinner without being told that strangers may be seated with us. For the prices they charge, I expected much better food, preparation, service, and overall hospitality. Instead, the food was either bland, overly dependent on soy sauce, undercooked, or overcooked, and the service was poor. Unfortunately, after this experience, I would not return. Very disappointing from start to finish.

I tend to lean towards the salty/spicy end of the spectrum (in other words, not sweet) at Chinese restaurants and this fits the bill perfectly. The only thing that would make it better is if there was some kung pao spiciness to it. There were six of us. Each of us ordered an entree and we all shared. We all chose to add the dinner combination to our entrees. For an additional $6.95, you get soup, fried rice or steamed rice, an egg roll, a fried wonton, and something called paper chicken (which is actually wrapped in foil and tastes kind of sausage like). Incidentally, for years, my go to Chinese restaurant was China Gate in nearby Upland. I had been going there since the mid '90s. Back in late 2018, I was stunned to learn that they had closed after nearly 40 years in business. Oh no! What was I going to do now? Thankfully, someone dropped the name Szechuan Garden on the Yelp page for China Gate. I was intrigued. I had to try the place. I'm glad that I did. The food is good and the prices are quite reasonable. The ambiance less industrial and perhaps a touch more "cozy" than a lot of restaurants nowadays. Overall, it was an enjoyable dining experience. If you like Chinese food, do yourself a favor and give Szechuan Garden a try.

I cant justify any of these dishes making me want to consume bowls upon bowls of rice. That's what spicy Szechuan and Hunan food is supposed to do....it should make you awaken your taste buds, with the power of their chilli peppers, Szechuan green & red peppercorns, and the umamis derived from MSG. Nope, I didn't crave the Lazi Chicken...nor the Hot Oil Beef Mix... Not the Cold Noodles, and I left with a $122 receipt in hand for 2 more takeout items on top of the 4 main dishes I've shared.....and I felt pretty empty. Empty in a sense, I could DO BETTER at home mixing my own Szechuan Cold Noodles, with Home Made Chili Oil, Sesame Paste, Sugar. Chicken Bullion, Minced Garlic, Vinegar, and Cilantro. I almost felt robbed here.....either every dish was lacking peppercorns and numbness, or it was missing Umami, Alot of it...so I leave anyone who wants to challenge my opinion otherwise and prove me wrong that the food here indeed belongs in a long list of top notch Szechuan Hunan Restaurants in Los Angeles. Even if this place opened up in Phoenix, I'm sorry, it's going to rank in the lower end of the bell curve. It was a hot day. I felt the service lady doesn't know how to tell "Customers Need Ice Water" and I had to vocally tell her ice and water please. I don't know, been a long week, haven't gone home for 10 days and just been bouncing on and off my rig all across the US....I just wanted some food I could really enjoy today, and Chili Bistro failed to deliver.

It just has soy, soy mixed sauce, chili oil, and black vinegar. I ordered the Wide Hand Pulled Noodles, Green and Onion Pot Stickers, and the Beef Rolls. Wide Hand Pulled noodles were ok. Honestly not much to brag about. I thought the noodles were cooked well but the flavor didn't really stand out to me. I believe it's served with chili oil, a mound of minced garlic and some vegetables. Outside of those ingredients I thought it needed more flavor or substance. The beef rolls were ok to me as well. I liked how crispy the roll was and size. Good portions of sliced beef served with cilantro. It was refreshing but the meat was generally cold with some warmness provided by the roll. But that quickly faded. Would prefer it to be warmer. The highlight was the pot stickers. Beef and onion were good. Really enjoyed the presentation of the dish. The edges of the pot sticker were really thick. Almost chip like. I enjoyed it as much as the dish itself. Would get it again. Overall I thought the food was ok. I'm sure there are better highlight dishes than what I ordered but they weren't selected this go around. Also the prices are a little higher than most dumpling spots so I just expected more.
