This is one of my favorite places to eat. The Thai noodle soup is amazing. also the crab rangoons are perfect

If you are not super health conscious you are absolutely going to love this spot. Mind you the flavour here are actually authentic Chinese. So expect somewhat bland flavour but has many things going on but in a subtle way. The place is amazing value for money. We are a lot like really many items but just over $110 for 6 adults. The beans were truly amazing. I was a little disappointed with Dan Dan noodles. I expected better. The cauliflower was excellent and so was the fried rice. The tofu tom houn soup were average at best. One thing I would call out is that all dishes were super oily. So expect oily dripping food here. Overall a good mix and variety. The atmosphere is below average - not the best looking place. So ambience is pretty average. I went on Saturday night - the order took really long time ~45-50 minutes. I think they can do better than that. read more

Ordered through Uber eats for delivery. Packaged well and arrived hot. I ordered the Szechuan green beans with a side of shrimp fried rice and also an egg drop soup. Everything was really tasty. The green beans had little heat but wasn't too hot. The beans were very tasty without being overcooked You could add more spice if you want when you order it. They weren't that generous with the shrimp and the fried rice I think I counted only 4. read more

Sichuan Chinese Restaurant - Sauteed String Bean - Chinese Near Me - Normal, Illinois

Got some good food from this Chinese restaurant in Normal close to the ISU campus. It has both the Americanized and more authentic options. Sichuan is a long time favorite among students. Best food in this part of town apparently. There's things that can be made very spicy or vegetarian friendly as well. Came in the evening to get carryout. It's got a dining area but there wasn't many people dining in. This is more of a place for taking it to go it seems. Just as well because it looks pretty lame inside. Pretty bare walls. It's about $12 for an entree. We got the Ma Po Tofu. It's usually made with beef. Make it vegetarian without it. This had a very hot spice. Has to be one of the best Chinese restaurants in the area. It's closed Mondays. They have plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians. read more

Curry Fried Rice was nice and spicy. Chicken Skewers and the Crab Rangoons were also crispy and delicious.

This downtown gem can get crowded, but the small space manages to keep the tables from being jammed together. The menu offers a decent variety of dishes. I've enjoyed the ones I've tried so far and plan to keep coming back. My only gripe is that the soy and Chinese yellow mustard are served in the same old packets you get at fast food places. read more

Placed an order at 6:46pm, was told estimated pickup would be 7:11pm. It is currently 8:01 and I'm still waiting on my food! Edited to add: Finally got my food at 8:22! Waiting that long for food after the estimated time for pickup of 7:11 is unacceptable! read more

Love Sichuan - I get the Sichuan style satuteed string beans no meat with tofu with a side of fried rice about once a week - the flavors are delicious. The employees are also so nice! Portion sizes and prices make sense. read more

Love this place! I haven't tried the hotpot yet but here it's really good! I always tell them what meat and veggies I want and mild and they make it perfect every time! Probably my favorite Chinese place ever! read more

We just wanted a quick bite and literally walked past this little establishment on a stroll from the Marriott. We were quickly greeted by a cracked door and a woman asking if we wanted to order something. Apparently the restaurant has been closed to dine in service since Covid. We decided to order shrimp fried rice, steamed dumplings, and an eggroll. Service was quick, we grabbed an outdoor seat close by and was pleasantly surprised by what was in front of us. The shrimp fried rice was exactly what we had hoped it would be authentic. It had carrots and peas, and nice sized shrimp. The flavor was so good! The steamed dumplings were magnificent with a hint of ginger, that wonderful dipping sauce...so so good! The eggroll was okay. I've had better, I would've like it to cook for just a little more. So glad we found this one...would definitely go back again! read more

Flavor of food is okay at best and way over priced for what you get. I ordered a full General Tso and there was 12 little nuggets of chicken is all. It is best to order from Great Wall. I won't make that mistake again. read more

I have been here multiple times and have not been disappointed. The scallion pancakes and peanut sauce dumplings are to die for. For entrees, I recommend twice cooked pork and crispy spicy chicken. read more

This place reminds me of some of the authentic Chinese food we had during our trip to San Francisco. Definitely not the hyper-sweet panda express American versions of classic dishes. I love the sauted string beans and spicy crispy chicken. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in town. I have tried so many times. Recently they have some new food can try. I really love it! read more

We just finished our Sichuan delivery dinner and are trying to figure out how this place is so highly rated? Even if you account for the expected delivery vs. on-site consumption difference, the temperature of the food was definitely NOT the problem as everything was borderline hot upon opening, the problem was that it just didn't TASTE like much more than 2.5 stars. The rubbery scallion pancakes were not very flavorful, the puny $2 egg rolls were also bland, and the crab Rangoon texture and too-sweet taste disappointed. Only highlight was the Chicken Mei Foon (angel hair) which was both yummy and plentiful. All in all, I can't go higher than 3-stars and only given that it was delivery, but more importantly, we won't likely be re-visiting any time soon. read more

This place is legit. Was in the area visiting and came across this place. Ordered mapo tofu and fried chicken. Mapo tofu is slightly spicy and numbing and the fried chicken was delicious. I would prefer it all to be spicier but all were surprisingly delicious. Would recommend. Ordered take out so the chicken was steamed up but still delicious read more

Ordered take out and it was so dang yummy!! We will definitely be ordering here again. I enjoyed the General Tso's, my husband had the crispy spicy chicken, and my kids shared a sweet and sour. We didn't realize the chicken skewers would have a kick but they tasted delicious!! read more

I ordered the twice cooked pork. I was excited that they had it on there because this is a dish I love which is typically a crispy fried pork and a spicy sauce. What I received look like Mongolian beef only the pork was either fresh side or actual bacon Just swimming and liquid that was greasy and disgusting. read more

New to the area and tried several Chinese places in Bloomington Normal and this place is by far the best tasting.

Good...but spicy. We were a bit surprised how spicy it was but if you're in to that (I thought I was), it's delish!

Just your run of the mill take-out Chinese restaurant. Nothing special. Food is alright. Not great, not bad but definitely have had way better. Very quick service. Had the General Tso chicken. Was not very spicy at all and I like hot and spicy when it comes to Chinese. I would eat here again for lack of a better place close by. read more

Best Chinese place in town hands down. Food is phenomenal and fresh. Very friendly customer service. Pretty much the only Chinese place we eat at in town. read more

Not only the best Chinese food in town, but probably one of the top 3 that I've tried, and I cover a 3-state area for work. I was blown away--I was 80% sure I was going to get some halfway congealed grub scooped out of this afternoon's lunch buffet. Usually when I want fresh, crispy vegetables I have to go for Thai, but this place got it right. I ordered the "Chicken in Flaming Pan" specialty. The portion was decent, the chicken was cooked properly and tasted fresh, the vegetables were crisp, and the sauce was fantastic. Guess I'm going to have to get Chinese every time I come to Bloomington-Normal now. 5 stars. read more

Good food! Great veggies and lots of them. Lighter sauce than typical Chinese. We got some spice and it was good.

Great American Chinese. Asked for extra crispy and extra sauce and they listened. Fried rice awesome - had broccoli in addition to peas and carrots and eggs. Will order again! read more

The food was great. We ordered crab Rangoon, egg rolls, sesame chicken and General Tso's chicken. The chicken is large chunks of white meat and the portions are good. The egg rolls are the best I've had in town. The crab Rangoon was crispy on the outside and creamy in the middle, and tasted fantastic. read more

Happy with our recent order from Sichuan Chinese. Food was good and they were responsive to our gluten-free needs.

Their food is incredibly tasty, especially the Dan Dan noodles. They were the best I've ever had in the US. The noodles were cooked perfectly tender, and when combined with the spicy Sichuan sauce, they made the perfect meal for winter. Additionally, their customer service is kind and friendly. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Chinese food. read more

Delicious! They were able to fill our order very easily and quickly. We had a larger order and there were a few items that were forgotten, but when we called, they were able to get the issue resolved! Loved what we got--when it says hot, it's HOT!

Every time we eat there it is consistently amazing. The food can be a bit spicy but we like it that way. I only mention so that you aren't caught unaware. This is one of my all time favorite restaurants and we are lucky to have it in uptown. Yum!! read more

I asked them for the spiciest dish they have and she said order the Sichuan chicken , man ! It did not dissapoint it opened up my sinuses !!!! read more

I am so sorry to announce, but last night I got incredibly ill after eating the Sichuan spicy beef noodle soup. I've never in my life have experienced food poisoning until now, and it was an experience I wish upon no one! I've eaten here before and have always been very pleased with the quality and authentic flavors this place has, but after last night I will never eat here again. :/ read more

Finally some flavor! I'm Shang-Hai Chinese and since moving into town I've been been searching for something that tastes like home. Try the Shang-Hai style rice cakes. They're a fun change if you usually get chow mein fried noodles. The spice is crisp and sharp, just like Sichuan should be. Excellent food! Will be coming back to sweat up a storm in Winter! read more

Sichuan Chinese Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Normal, Illinois

Great Foof great price. Parking is limited because it is located in a busy cool area. You can decide on spicy level

Best Chinese food in BLONO imo. Last I checked (mid-2023) they're not open for dine in but get some to go!

I really like Sichuan. It's not a General Tso's strip mall type Uber-Americanized quantity over quality Chinese slop house. For those of you who like the Chinese basics they have them. I don't fool with that stuff. Although if the egg rolls are any indication it's probably good. I've been hitting the Sichuan menu a lot. If you are trying to avoid meat, there are items that don't indicate meat but you get meat. So I just make sure I say no meat. The Sichuan fried tofu is good. The Sichuan string bean is good. Pro-Tips: Basic spicy isn't anything you will remember in the morning. So if you want to joyfully recall you ate hot food yesterday you have to ask them to spice it up. It's the Midwest so they have no expectations that you can use chopsticks. If you are getting Togo order ask for chopsticks. No makes me feel more American than digging into good Chinese with a plastic spork. If Sichuan was in say Chicago or NYC it's not 5 star but for Bloomington a 5 star option for sure. Who are you to resist? read more
