I was really looking forward to tasting those barbecue spare ribs . Unfortunately, as I get down to enjoy a piece it was so tough. It was an edible.

It was so tough.. same problem with the beef being cut so thick and so tough. I had to take it out of my soup. I don't like to write reviews like this, but I couldn't excuse the situation with the pork and the beef being so inedible because they were tough and cut too At that point, I just lost my appetite and threw half of it away . Be nice if they could credit discharge or a part of it.

I had no idea what it was and thought I'd give it a whirl. It's exactly what it says -- but better than a slice of bread or a roll. The interior has a hint of sweet and I'm not sure if youre supposed to combine it with something; I just chowed down in the car on my way home. I also got a vegetable egg roll. Pass on that next time. The interior was indistinguishable mush. I'm not sure what was in there, but it wasn't pleasant. Next up -- Walnut Chicken. I think the walnuts are toasted? They were very brown (still tasted good), but I was taken aback when I first saw them. I feared they were (to me) dreaded raisins (albeit tremendously oversized). Fear not, they were walnuts, and lots of chicken at a great price! The sauce was sweet, but not cloyingly so. I had enough food for lunch the next day. The dish came with two scoops of rice (a little on the sticky side), and two crab rangoon. If there was any crab associated with the latter, it might have been a quick wave over or something. I tasted no crab, but otherwise, for what it was it was tasty. Finally, almond cookies. I loved getting these at King Fong, so Bo Bo had a lot to live up to and didn't quite hit the mark, but they were good. Overall, a good experience, and, as my kids have always known, great prices.

We also had the double cooked pork, which they use actual pork belly with. Love to see this dish cooked that way, since the fattiness from the pork cuts some of the spiciness. This is a full service restaurant, so you take your seat and the waiters grab your order and bring your meal as it's ready. They have large tables for family dinner with a large lazy Susan in the middle. They have a lot of cultural decorations which make for a very welcoming and casual environment. Definitely will be coming back to try more of their authentic Chinese menu!

The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated with modern Chinese inspired décor, warm lighting, and a clean, inviting atmosphere that made for a pleasant dining experience. We ordered several dishes, including the Peking duck, dry fried spicy chicken, spicy boiled fish, cumin lamb, hot and sour shredded potato, and a cabbage dish. The standout dishes were definitely the Spicy Boiled Fish and Dry Fried Spicy Chicken. The fish arrived in a vibrant, spicy broth loaded with dried chilies, Sichuan peppercorns, and fresh herbs. It had the signature numbing and spicy flavor that Sichuan cuisine is known for, while still allowing the fish to remain tender and flavorful. The dry fried chicken was crispy, well-seasoned, and packed with smoky chili flavor. The Cumin Lamb was another favorite, featuring tender slices of lamb stir fried with onions, cilantro, and cumin. It was aromatic, savory, and paired well with rice. The Hot and Sour Shredded Potato provided a refreshing contrast to the richer dishes, offering a light crunch with a balance of tanginess and spice. The Peking Duck had crispy skin and juicy meat, making it a solid choice for sharing. The cabbage dish was simple but satisfying and helped balance the meal's heavier flavors. While the food was excellent and felt much closer to what you would find in an authentic Sichuan restaurant, the service could use some improvement. Our waiter seemed rushed throughout the meal and interactions felt somewhat hurried. While our food arrived promptly and accurately, the overall experience would have been more enjoyable with a bit more attentiveness and warmth. Overall, Sichuan Bistro delivers authentic flavors, generous portions, and a beautiful dining atmosphere. If you're a fan of spicy Sichuan cuisine or looking to try something beyond the standard Chinese takeout menu, it's definitely worth a visit. The food alone will have us coming back, though we hope the service experience improves on future visits.
