This is a great spot to eat or get takeout from. It has a permanent position in my family's dinner rotation. It has such a high approval rating among my kids that every time I drive by my super picky 3 year old will ask if we can stop off for chicken and tofu. They are also very accommodating. There have been a couple times that dishes we ordered for the kids were too spicy (a risk that comes with Sichuan cuisine) and they have taken it back and recooked at no additional charge. Everything is very reasonably priced and I e always order a lot because there are so many great dishes so we have leftovers for days. Anytime people come visit us from out of town we like to bring them here in our general tour of all the great restaurants John's creek has to offer read more

Amazing experience Not your average Chinese buffet, but a wonderland of authentic Chinese food. It feels like a family establishment. The chef will come out and ask you what you like and recommend dishes. Probably my favorite Chinese restaurant I have found since coming back to America read more

had a fantastic meal at this Sichuan restaurant. The stir-fry beef was incredibly flavorful with just the right amount of spice, the hot and sour soup was perfectly balanced, and the beef with noodles was hearty and comforting. The casual ambiance made it easy to relax and enjoy the food, and the service was impressively quick while still being welcoming and attentive. A great spot for anyone craving authentic, delicious Sichuan dishes without any fuss. read more

Since it's so close to home, we came for lunch. I had bell pepper beef from lunch menu and my wife had sautéed pig kidney from chef specials menu. My beef was tender, but somehow it tasted like prepared food with quantity, you could call it bland, the portion was okay. My wife's dish was good, with bigger portion. The thing is everything from lunch menu is priced range $12-14, $2 extra for beef, while chef's specials are priced above $20. With $20+ you have better choices. So I would say it's overpriced in my opinion. With tax and tips, the lunch cost is over $40 for two. read more

Great Sichuan is tucked into one of those unassuming suburban strip malls. Let's get the basics out of the way: yes, it's a mom-and-pop joint, and yes, the food is legit Sichuan. The menu is stacked with all the Sichuan classics: dan dan noodles, twice-cooked pork, cumin lamb, and other dishes that could flare an ulcer just by being in the same room. Here are the dishes I've tried so far: * Mapo Tofu: The OG test of any Sichuan spot. This one nails it with that iconic combo of fiery chili and numbing Sichuan peppercorns. The tofu itself is silky smooth, soaking up the lava-red sauce that's equal parts spicy and tingling. I love mapo tofu and it's a dish that proves they know their Sichuan street cred. * Dry-Fried Eggplant: This dish bodied every other plate on the table. Crispy on the outside, and tender and melting inside, not greasy, not soggy. Flavor-wise, it hit all the right notes: garlicky, salty, smoky, a whisper of sweetness, and enough chili to keep that spice. * Mongolian Beef: Yeah, I know, it's the Americanized guilty pleasure, and it's my guilty pleasure. I love to order it at Chinese restaurants if they have it. It helps to balance out the heat of the Sichuan dishes. It had tender slices and just the right balance of sweet-savory. They got a robot that delivers your food to the table.This kind of setup has been popping up at a lot of Asian spots lately. What is it with Asian restaurants and robots these days? If you're into Sichuan food in this area, you've probably heard of Masterpiece. Masterpiece was nominated for James Beard awards and has a bit more notoriety. But honestly? Great Sichuan might be just as good, if not better. I'm glad I found this spot. Plus, it's in the same strip mall as Greatea, so you can easily grab some decent boba tea after your meal. I want to explore the rest of the menu. Those dan dan noodles and cumin lamb aren't going to eat themselves. read more

Wonderful tasty authentic Chinese food They never disappoint Chen Yu one of the servers very attentive and polite read more

Everything tasted pretty good. I really like the braised pork, fish with sour mustard green soup, and the hot numbing spicy beef. I didn't like the xiao long bao. It was too dry. Dan Dan noodles were ok.. it was very spicy! read more

今天太咸了。 只有酱油味道。我希望他们以后会做的吃的更地道。 Too salty... only tasted like soy. Hope it will taste more authentic in the future read more

A cozy, but bustling spot for authentic Sichuan food! We came here on the weekend for dinner and ordered the Beef Tendon and Tripe in Chili Sauce, Garlic Eggplant with Sauce, Fish and Sour Cabbage Soup. Each of these dishes was delicious, a good portion size, and at a reasonable price point. My favorite is the garlic eggplant, and the sauce was just the right balance of sweet and salty. Service is fast, and they even have one of those robots that plays music and brings over some dishes which is always fun to see! The interior is simple, and there is a decent amount of seating inside. Definitely looking forward to come back again! read more

Extremely tasteless. I wish I listened to the majority of reviews ( and didn't order here) but I strayed away bc of it being recommended among some great restaurants on Reddit. The chicken also had a questionable texture which made me spit it out and investigate if it was fully cooked. I also had the spring rolls, which are extremely small and are also bland. Overall, a completely below mediocre experience and will not be ordering again. I wonder if they changed recipes or got new owners because a lot of the reviews in the past have been great. read more

We craved spicy Sichuan food for way too long since no where else seemed to hit the mark for us.. until we came here. Things you should know: I. PARKING The restaurant is on the right end of a plaza shared by other businesses. There's a free private parking lot out front with plenty of available spaces. II. QUALITY Exactly what we were looking for ~ not americanized. At least not the dishes we ordered. Very happy with the result. III. SERVICE Timely and kind. IV. CAPACITY Fair amount of available seating for Sunday mid-afternoon hours read more

***FOOD: Good authentic food so far. Everything we had was delicious. Will be back to try other dishes. House Fried Rice - good, Mongolian Beef - was a little bland instead of sweet ***COST (OUT OF 4$) $$ thought some of the dishes were a little expensive for what it is & portion wise ***DÉCOR: very nice, contemporary, clean, masculine colors ***SERVICE: Friendly and Fast. ***RECOMMEND: YES would definitely RECOMMEND and will definitely go back. read more

You wouldn't expect this place to be so good when you pass by, but definitely try it out! We came here on a random night and were thoroughly surprised.

I get these cravings for Sichuan food from time to time, and I'm quite addicted to that mala flavor. I also like "weird" things, according to your stereotypical American standards, such as offals, and I was happy to see that this restaurant offered a dish I was especially craving (mao xue wang). I ordered online and picked it up with no issues; the employees packed the to-go boxes very well and sturdy, which is much appreciated with all the hot liquids that come with Sichuan foods. I got: Fish fillet with green peppers and pickled cabbage hot pot: This wasn't spicy to me, which is probably a good thing considering the other two items I got. The green peppers were a nice change from the usual Sichuan red peppers, and the fish filet tasted quite salty, which is normal from the pickled cabbage. This is a great dish for mixing with rice, or just change up your palate from the other dishes. Spicy pig intestine, tripe, tofu hot pot: I had a sneaky suspicion that "tofu" was not your usual soy bite, and I was right. Traditional "mao xue wang" is made with offals and duck blood, and I think their "tofu" is actually the duck blood. The duck blood was actually really nice--they were plump, juicy, and tasted fresh, meaning it had a neutral taste. I'm also obsessed with intestine and tripe, so this dish was really exactly what I wanted. It also had a bit of heat, so it was very satisfying overall. Beef tendon and tripe in chili oil: This appetizer is another one of my favorites, mostly because it has tripe--I think my all time favorite has pig ear and tripe as the combo. This was also decently spicy, and to my pleasant surprise, it wasn't overly oily as many places tend to do. Overall, I love that this place is not overly oily--just enough to do the job--and that they offer Sichuan favorites that you usually can't find elsewhere. It is quite salty, but that's fairly typical of Sichuan cuisine (at least around here), so make sure you eat these with plenty of rice. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more items! read more

My favorite Sichuan restaurant in Atlanta. 100% if you love traditional Chinese/Sichuan food, visit this place. Here's some stuff you have to try. My favorite thing EVER to get here, and I've never NOT gotten this when I go is Green Pepper sliced Fish 青花椒沸腾鱼 - be warned though, this dish is SPICY. This Green Pepper sliced Fish is covered with hot peppers, and green sichuan peppercorn - which gives it a spicy and numbing (or mala) flavor. Other dishes to note - Steamed Chicken with Red Chili Sauce 口水鸡 and Hot & Numbing Combination 麻辣一锅端. Steamed Chicken with Red Chili Sauce 口水鸡 is actually an appetizer dish - it's steamed chicken, served in this cold red chili sauce that is incredibly flavorful. The Hot & Numbing Combination actually has a crapload of stuff - there's fish, shrimp, beet and chicken mixed with snow peas, mushrooms, black ear mushrooms, carrots and glass noodles in red spicy hot broth topped with cilantro, Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers. read more

Another Gem place I found randomly on a normal Wednesday night. I was with my mom after a girls' spa day in the area when my mom felt Szechuan that day. Thanks to yelp, I found this place that was close to where we were, with good reviews and the food pictures look delicious. The restaurant didn't let me down! Our server welcomed us in and warmly asked my mom if she needed some hot water instead (it was getting chill a little) Food is very authentic and delicious. Our favorite is the eggplant with spicy garlic sauce in pot and the appetizer beef tendon thing. The hot and numbing pot was good, but I will expect more numbing spice added to it. It's a little mild for me but just right to my mom. It's a good combination though. Within one dish, you can get all meats and shrimp, veggies, mushrooms and clear noodles which is a good balance of daily nutrients. We will definitely come back and try other things on the menu (we started picking while we were eating already) read more

The food is incredible! Very fresh, and not greasy like a lot of other Chinese food locations. Their food is made to serve and you don't feel greasy after eating. It's also a nice place to go if you want to dine in, my only complaint is it was a little warm while I was there. Otherwise it was great! The staff was very helpful when it came to picking a dish that I was in the mood for as well, asking questions about it my preferences. It was very appreciated! read more

I've been wanting to try the place for several years. I love mapo tofu with its numbing szechuan pepercorns and had heard that theirs was one of the better ones. It was pretty good and a very nice sized portion, but not much of that tounge tingling that I was looking forward to. I also had the pickled vegetables that looked disappointing when she delivered them to my table but they quickly grew on me. I'd order them again. I think I'll try the Kung Pao Chicken next time though. read more

Great Sichuan - Sichuan Pickled Vegetables. It wasn't what I was expecting but grew on me quickly. I'd order it again. - Szechuan Near Me - Johns Creek, Georgia

As the name states, Great Sichuan does have great Sichuan food. Service has been good in my experience, although I usually do take out here. Overall restaurant is clean. Personally I prefer Hunan Garden which is across the street, so there is some competition. But worth checking out both. read more

This place is do dirty with cockroaches everywhere . It's a wonder that they have not closed down . We had a cockroach fly from the window and land on our dish . We immediately stopped and got a 20 percent discount on our bill . As we were leaving I noticed many cockroaches on the floor too . The food is really good and priced well but I cannot get over the trauma of the flying cockroach read more

Very authentic Sichuan restaurant. They have good lunch specials. But I love coming here for the Sichuan dishes. They recently renovated their interior and it looks very nice, welcoming and clean. I love the sichuan dry chili chicken and the sichuan hot boiled fish fillet, if you can handle the heat. My husband loves the mongolian beef lunch special. read more

Great Sichuan is quickly becoming our favorite Szechuan spot in the area! Before, we would have to drive 45 minutes or so for good Szechuan food. Not anymore. Great Sichuan isn't new, we've just finally recently tried it after passing by this restaurant numerous times. The staff is so nice and welcoming even over the phone. We've had a pleasant experience everytime. We've tried the following: V2 Mapo tofu $10.95 N7 Szechuan noodle with hot oil $11.95 T1 Sichuan spiced deep fried fish nuggets $15.95 Everything is delicious, but our favorites are the the fish nuggets followed closely by mapo tofu. These two are a must for us now. They're packed with flavor and spice. We love spicy food and these two do it for us. What I love most about their mapo tofu is that it's completely vegetarian while some places serve it with beef. The portions are great and each dish comes with rice. Two dishes with accompanying rice can easily feed my hungry family of three, but there aren't any leftovers. Service is super quick. Our food is usually ready within 5-10 minutes! read more

Bland rice, bland noodles, bland soup. It's crazy because this place is alway busy. My food smelled amazing! The portions were just right! It was a quick turnaround time from ordering to pick up. I am tempted to try it again, but it was sooo bland...I rather have Panda Express. read more

Can't wait to try it again! 10/10 all around. The food was hot and fresh - highly recommend the Crispy beef, it was perfect. The drink specials were great too. The restaurant is super clean and has a great ambiance. We tried a few other spots in Duluth but the quality wasn't as good as Great Sichuan. read more

We are happy that there is another option for Sichuan food in Johns Creek. We go to this place for a spicy food fix. The servers there all speak English which is good. their hot boil beef is great, this is one of the few places you can find the right flavor of hot boil beef in Atlanta. it is spicy and you can taste the numbness in your tongue. Kidney dish sounds scary but if you like it, there is no unpleasant smell. read more

The shichuan/mala dishes are solid. I like the hot & numbing combination but the portion was small especially since it's considered a shared dish for two. I felt like it lacked vegetables and more substance in the soup. I wouldn't recommend the mala beef roll which sounded good on the description but was basically a tortilla rolled with lettuce, cheese, and a sprinkle of beef. It was a weird combination and not worth the $8. Servers are friendly and attentive and you're seated right away. I never had to wait to get seated. read more

Their food is the best I have found around here. It doesn't leave you feeling nasty. Never eaten there but ambiance looks nice and clean. It's the only place I get Chinese from now. Love their General Zaos and pork fried rice. Their sliced beef thing was way too dry. Not good. read more

I ordered American style kung pao chicken for takeout with steamed rice. The service was fast and friendly and the restaurant itself looked clean and updated.

We've been here a number of times. Very consistent. If you like it a little bit on the spicy side they've got some great go to. But they also have mild dishes. Tonight I had eggplant with tofu and minced pork and a brown sauce. Outstanding. Very flavorful and not too salty. Terrific authentic Johns Creek restaurant. The service was excellent. read more

It's great to have a good Chinese restaurant close by instead of needing to drive to Doraville. Everything that we've had is good except for the fried squid and fried shrimp. We find the breading to be on the thicker and it's not our favorite. Otherwise, the hot chili oil combo/fish, sour cabbage beef, cauliflower, green beans, fried eggplant, garlic eggplant, curry pot, and ants on a ladder dishes are some of our favorites. The staff is nice and attentive, even gave my daughter an apple! The food comes out really fast and all is very enjoyable. read more

Had to order smg quick and so I ordered sesame chicken with rice to go and it was bussin!!

I was pleasantly surprised by Great Sichuan. This location has been a Chinese restaurant for many years, including under previous names like Cafe Q. The restaurant is under new ownership and now is focused primarily on authentic Sichuanese food rather than more American-inspired dishes. The inside seating is very nice, and the outside patio is also a good environment. You can tell that all of the food is fresh. In addition, the servers are quite warm and welcoming. We ordered many dishes including the mixed seafood clay pot, beef with sour cabbage, beef tendon & tripe in chili sauce, and Sichuan style stir-fried string beans. They were all fantastic, but I'd say the taste and portion size of the string beans was a standout. I highly recommend this restaurant for authentic Chinese food! read more

I came here for a late Sunday lunch with the family. I was super excited to try some authentic Chinese food in the Johns Creek area as most of the restaurants are all Korean based. While being seated, it looked like we were coming in to the end of their Sunday lunch buffet which was $8.95. I wanted to try it but hence the foods were already out for a few hours and they were all left overs as the lunch buffet is from 11am-2pm and it was 2:30pm when I got in. The Chinese waitress appeared to have an attitude and was sorta short with us. The employees all were eating the left over buffet foods and they all sat in the middle towards the front of the restaurant. We ordered the Family dinner with comes with 3 entrees, soup, and white rice. Apparently, the waitress says you can only pay with cash for the Family dinner. Something that I thought was odd and not advertised in the menu. We ordered the Twice Cooked Pork Belly, Mandarin Pork, Red Dry Chili Chicken, Tofu Soup, and it came with white rice. I loved the Red Dry Chili Chicken. It was amazing. It reminded me of a Salt and pepper chicken with peppers instead. I highly enjoyed the twice cooked pork belly. It was just like an asian form of bacon. I loved the mandarin pork as well. All the flavors were slightly spicy and had the awesome chili oil inside it. It made eating it with white steam rice even better. I was a-little annoyed as they gave us small bowls of rice for each person rather than just give us a big bowl of rice so we didn't have to trouble them. Service sucked as we had to get up to ask for more rice. They never came to check on us as they were too busy eating their lunch food. I can't wait to come back and try their lunch buffet. Don't expect good waiter service here. As it will suck. But don't take it personal, that's how most Asian restaurants are. A-little attitude and seem rude. I will definitely come back to try more dishes In the future! read more
