Had a chance to try this place for the first time this past Sunday and we were very impressed. Exterior facade was questionable but interior is very cute and inviting. Customer service was amazing from start to finish. We ordered the crispy chicken with crispy peppers, beef belly plate, and egg fried rice. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. Portions are big and well worth the price. My family can't eat spice but they actually love the food. Can't wait to come back and try other dishes. read more

When they say authentic they truly mean AUTHENTIC. Or at least it was so delicious and matches up to other true Sichuan/szchewan style Chinese restaurants. MUST try. This style is salty and spicy and it's one of my fave. This also makes for good food for beer and alcohol to match the saltiness. Get the frog dry pot!!! And something fried spicy chicken with the peppers. Service was prompt and attentive, no frills service. Parking: free lot Seating: interior tables Bathroom: yes Wifi: no Payment: cash or cashless Dress code: casual and smell doesn't get on your clothes Ambiance: authentic Sichuan local restaurant (not exactly hole in the wall, but not a chain) read more

I consistently come here if I want authentic Chinese food. The food is great, the servers are nice, and the food usually comes out in a timely manner. I love their clay pots or their numerous Szechuan dishes. read more

Ordered via UberEats and had a great experience with food being done as predicted! Ordered the delicious fried rice, boiled fish with veggies, and dumplings with chili sauce. Everything was good and as expected although the rice was a little salty and didn't have much in it for being $14.99. Boiled fish with pickled veggies was flavorful and spicy. Wish they took out the sichuan peppercorns out so we wouldn't have to spit those out. Tip: save the soup for the next day and boil some noodles with it for noodle soup! The dumplings were pretty good - very garlicky and the fillings were good. A diff style than most dumplings in chili sauce in the Valley. Would return! read more

Probably my favorite Chinese restaurant in Arizona although "Chinese" is a broad term for cuisines. Yeah the service was bad, but the food was so good that I can't complain. So many good options, the only reason I haven't tried most of them is because the drive is so far for me. read more

I've been eyeing this spot for so long now. Luckily, I was finally able to try it with my friends. We ordered the food to go, and the ordering process to picking it up was very simple and quick. We ordered the shredded pork in special sauce, fried rice, eggplant, cabbage, and the spicy chicken. I think out of all of these options, I'd pass on the fried rice next time (or maybe choose one that added protein). Still, it was very delicious, and offered a middle ground for everyone in case the food was too spicy. They are Szechuan cuisine, so their foods do have a kick to them. I don't like really spicy foods, and at least the dishes we got, I didn't think they were too spicy. Some had more of a kick than others (I think the eggplant did?), but it was all tolerable overall. I'd say a hot cheeto is spicier than the food, but it's still a noticeable presence as it builds over time. I would order the spicy chicken and eggplant again for sure, and would come back to try the mapo next time. I think for the quality, efficiency, price, and how late the restaurant is open, this place gets an A+ in my books! read more

This place might look a little sketchy from the outside, but the second you walk in, you're hit with an aroma that makes your stomach do a happy dance. Sure, the inside has seen better days, but it's clean, and that's what matters, right? I was greeted right away and shown to my seat, where my server quickly hooked me up with some ice water, a plate, napkin, and chopsticks - ready for action. Original Cuisine serves up both Szechuan and some of the classic American-style Chinese food, so there's something for everyone. I've had the Chongqing Spicy Crispy Chicken with Chili before, and let me tell you, it was freakin' amazing! This time, I decided to switch it up with General Tso's Chicken and grabbed some Chicken Fried Rice for later (because, hey, who doesn't love leftovers?). The General Tso's had just the right kick, and it's hands down the best Chinese food I've had in the valley so far. These guys really know how to pack in the flavor. I can't wait to dig into more of the menu next time. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to again and again! It's probably a good thing that I don't live closer to this place! read more

Crispy chicken was tremendous...mild spice was plenty for us! Orange chicken was really good as well. We ordered the dumplings and they were just okay...lots of jarlic on them. Unlike many other Chinese restaurants the hot tea was not in a teapot but in a big cup with a Lipton bag. Had to ask for sugar, so that was a bit odd. Food out fast. Totally go back for the crispy chicken. read more

The menu is insane! Seriously, check it out! This place is not your average buffet style, fast food Chinese restaurant. We wanted something "real", that would leave us regretting our decision and experiencing indigestion. The wait staff was very helpful and there is literally someone watching the tables to anticipate any need. The dining area is quaint and clean. The building is centrally located in the Asian district in Mesa - Dobson & Broadway. read more

4.5/5 Had a great time with friends here when we dined in for lunch. There are so many options on the menu it was hard to choose just a few things to try out! We ended up with the cucumber with garlic sauce, chili oil fish (water boiled fish), pan fried spicy pork belly and eggplant with green beans. Everything was superb and we all left with full bellies. The only negative is that you can only split a check 3 ways here, and we were a party of four so depending on how many people you are eating with some calculator gymnastics might be needed at the end of your meal. read more

This is authentic Szechuan restaurant in Arizona food was very tasty specially crispy spicy chicken and peppercorn fish is my favor I definitely recommend this restaurant for spicy food lovers read more

I've been telling everyone about this place lately! My husband and I came here and tried the Spicy Crispy Chicken. It's SO good and so flavorful. It is very spicy though if you get it ordered as is. (I will admit though that I'm a baby when it comes to spice haha. My husband loves spicy food, but even he said there was a kick to it.) We also got the Pan-Fried Spicy Pork Belly and the Mapo Tofu. Everything was delicious! I also ordered a to-go order of the Spicy Crispy Chicken for my mom because I thought she'd like it. She did! Both my husband and my mom said that if they have to choose, they liked Original Cuisine's Spicy Crispy Chicken better than Chou's Kitchen's version (Szechuan Chicken). Chou's isn't spicy, so it's a touch more palatable for me, but I may need to come back and try Original Cuisine's mild version. But can't go wrong either way! We will definitely be back here!! read more

Amazing hole in wall authentic Chinese place. Service was nice and prompt. Food was 10/10. Got braised beef, dry pot, beef liver, green chile beef and chongping fried crispy chicken. No leftovers. Their bingfen is good too! read more

OK, where do I even start, this place is truly authentic. Sichuan style at its finest. From the sour numbing soup to the spicy beef with jalapeño. This place has it all and they even have American Chinese dishes for my kids although I make my kids eat everything. Their fried donuts were probably the best ones I've had. They are open late every night I believe midnight or later that alone is worth the five stars. read more

Love authentic! And this place is. Wouldn't walk in if it wasnt suggested that we try. The outside building is bare/sketchy to say the least. The inside is big with many big tables but paint peeling walls and the bathroom was quite dirty. Didn't get a good vibe. The menu had brains, gizzards, tongue intestines, liver, kidneys and then for the less risky: sizchuan pork, cumin beef was flavorful, steamed bok choy was just that and the dumplings were steamed in a delish chili oil. We didn't eat the twice cooked pork because the pork was pork belly, of which the menu didn't say. Oh, one more thing, i was given a rose for Mother's Day. A very nice touch. All in all, if you like very authentic, give it a try. read more

If you like spicy, the Spicy Crispy Chicken here really packs a punch. Original Cuisine serves Szechuan cuisine which includes popular dishes like Porkbelly with garlic sauce, spicy duck wings, Kung Pao chicken and Chongqing noodles. They are located in the heart of Mesa's Asian district. This was my first visit here and I really enjoyed my time here with our big group of friends. Most of my friends in my party were Asian. I enjoyed being educated on many of the dishes on their menu. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. read more

Szechuan is one of my family's favorite cuisines and we've been on a hunt for a good Szechuan restaurant since we moved here over a year ago. Luckily for us, we found Original Cuisine! I stopped by one weekday afternoon to get dinner to-go. It was mid afternoon; after their lunch rush, but before the dinner, so during their slow part of the day. The staff greeted me as soon as I entered. I let them know I wanted to order takeout and they directed me to the counter. The restaurant is very open and offers plenty of seating. I ordered our family favorite, mapo tofu and Original Cuisine's best seller, the spicy crispy chicken with crispy pepper, which the staff recommended. It didn't take long for my order to be ready. I was probably in and out in under 15 minutes. The mapo tofu was flavorful and had the right amount of kick. I didn't try the spicy crispy chicken, however, my family really enjoyed it. We don't live close, otherwise we would go often, but will definitely order again if I'm back in the area! read more

So we had a great meal here. I will say it is very non American Chinese food. However, they do have some things you would expect at a more American Chinese food place. I like the menu, which had pictures and descriptions. The staff speaks limited English, so kinda point to what you want and don't ask too many questions. The pork Belly app was not my favorite, but my husband liked it - the texture is soft, and it is not a cured or smoked pork belly like I was expecting. The chef special hot pot soup had everything under the sun in it and lots of things. I have no idea what they were, but it was very good. I would go back to try the different menu items. I saw some creative plating and food on other people's tables that looked tasty. The place was clean and service was quick although once we got food we didn't see them again. read more

Family style comfort food. Sautéed vegetables of any choice is bomb. We got both the A Choy x2 and the Eggplant & Green Beans. I'd like to try their skewers next time and some of the soups/hot pots. The tables around us had some interesting dishes, makes me want to come back and try more. read more

AUTHENTIC! I came for a birthday party, and we sat at the awesome large table with the middle spinning section, where all the dishes are placed and it spins so that people can grab what they want. Due to food allergies between me and my boyfriend, we ordered our own dishes instead of sharing with the group just to ensure we could eat what we got, so I unfortunately did not get to try everything. We had a Chinese girl in our group who helped order all the best Chinese dishes. I ended up getting the Pan Fried Shredded Beef with Green Pepper for my entrée. It was good, but even though it had 1 chili next to it indicating spice level, I didn't think it was spicy at all. This dish was good, but very basic. Get this if you're afraid to venture out, haha! For some sides we got the Dumplings and the Wavy Fries. Dumplings were SO GOOD! One order came with 9 of them, a really great amount! The sauce was dripping off and it was delicious. The Wavy Fries were SO BEAUTIFULLY SPICED! Although, they should have been crispier. They weren't crispy at all so it felt more like spiced potatoes rather than fries. These were super spicy, but amazing. I'll be back, I want to try more of the obscure dishes! Based on what the larger group ordered, they were big fans of the Ribs (which were soft and fell off the bone) and the Grilled Fish on skewers. Keep in mind that dishes are large here, so if you don't eat too much I would share 1 entrée with a couple sides of rice. read more

This place is a definite favorite. While the restaurant isn't always busy inside, they do seem to get a lot of takeout orders. Service is always fast and food comes out within minutes after ordering. The Spicy Crispy Chicken with Crispy Peppers and the Pan-Fried Shredded Beef with Green Peppers are amongst our favorite dishes, offering great flavor and large servings. Even when busy, inside is always calm and relaxing and makes the dining experience that much better. This place is one I would highly recommend to anyone looking for some great tasting dishes! read more

Original Cuisine - Szechuan Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This is truly a no frills establishment that serves up traditional Szechuan food. We were drawn to try it from various social media posts boasting of the traditional tastes here. The menu has many interesting and unique items such as rabbit, bullfrog, beef brain, tripe and chicken feet to name a few. You can be totally adventurous.... or not. They do have "American food" such as general tso's chicken, etc. Our server was great at guiding us to some dishes to try and we settled on the stir fried green beans, crispy spicy chicken, beef in dry pot and pork ribs. We enjoyed everything and found the green beans and the beef in dry pot to be our favorites. The spiciness was perfection and so very tasty. They do not serve alcohol. Their flat water is good and they also offer a variety of juices and sodas. read more

Came here for a late night meal...didn't realize that they only serve a limited menu after 9pm...however food was good, flavorful. The only thing I didn't like was the amount of actual spice produce that the grilled chives were doused in- it was too much, but the flavor was good. Would come back again to try other dishes! read more

5 stars only for the food! We are a regular here. We often come around 8:45 pm for dinner so that we can enjoy the normal menu for dinner and then BBQ menu later after 9:15 pm. I am glad we have a midnight diner in town to grab northeastern Chinese cuisine. The customer service is decent. However, the floors and tables are sticky, they definitely need a clean up. Management pls take a note! The food is bomb. The spicy Szechwan chicken, fries, fried spring beans, mapu tofu is amazing. Their house fried rice is super delicious too. We always get the scallion spam wraps for appetizers. They are so yumm. For BBQ menu, we always go for corn, sausages, lamb, and wings! Wish they served beer, that would have been perfect combo to satisfy midnight cravings! If you love Szechwan food then do give this place a try! read more
