Kristina B.

We came in for lunch on Christmas Eve. There's were a handful of patrons, and it was rather chill. It was fun to hear staff singing Christmas music and I think, even though it was practically summer outside, it felt like the holiday spirit was hitting! The restaurant is small, but spacious and had a very open and welcoming feel. We were immediately seated and given time to explore the menu. We ordered the salt and pepper fish, kung pow chicken, and tofu with vegetables, bbq buns, spring rolls, and pork dumplings. The salt and pepper fish. You don't need anything else else. This was arguably the best fish I've ever had. It was perfectly seasoned, light, and crispy and was accompanied by some tender cilantro leaves and stems. I don't know what magic spell they use, but I'll never order anything else. I'm often a creature of habit with my orders and stick to what I know I'll like, but this surpassed my expectations. The pork dumplings were also incredible. It packed so much flavor and moisture in a small bite. The bbq pork buns were pillowy soft with a hint of sweetness and packed full of flavor and tender bbq pork. The spring rolls were steamy hot and crispy. Not as memorable as the other starters, but solid. The kung pow chicken was excellent. It had a nice kick and was cooked perfectly with just enough sauce. The tofu veggies were good (but even better the next day). The tofu was the right texture and the veggies were crisp and seasoned well. The friendly staff, the delicious food, and the chill atmosphere made for a wonderful pre holiday lunch!

Oh wow! The food was great! I had the hot and sour soup, fantastic! Took a picture! However when the Orange Chicken arrived it looked (and tasted!!!) so delicious I blanked out and jumped right in and only remembered to take a picture when I was putting my leftover in the box!

Nice decor

I will keep on coming back to update my review for Sichuan Garden. I love how I walk in and automatically I am greeted by the owner calling me by my name. He also remembers the last time you visited and what you ordered. He never fail to suggest something new or do a twist to dishes so we feel we are trying something new. Whatever you order at this restaurant is always delicious! Also dishes are huge! It is always good to bring friends and family to

Pretty good classic American Chinese food. Definitely your mom and Pop shop nothing too exquisitely fancy but a good thing for your buck!

SP1. Wonton Soup

Monday through Saturday lunch specials until 3pm $10.50 includes tea, soup rice and egg roll. Dim sum available until 5 pm Oolong , jasmine or green tea available. They have duck , chicken feet, beef tripe and frog legs. Seasonal and posted on menu boards. Service is attentive, didn't have to signal. No booths but a few family style tables with lazy Susan carousel for the food. I like this place when food is pharmacy and a hot pot is warranted.

Beef Soup
Eric G.

The food is excellent and fresh, large menu with a variety of categories. Some of our favorites are the Twice Cooked Pork Belly, Salt & Pepper Fish, Beef Soup, Pea Sprouts with Garlic, and Mapo Tofu but there's so much more to explore on the menu. Large dining room which can accommodate large groups. The service is excellent as well.

Lunch specials from Monday to Saturday. Food is good. Also serve dim sum and hotpot. Definitely will come back again. Service is good. Plenty of space to sit. The atmosphere is nice.

Hot Pot
Ben N.

Food is good. Check it out! I can vouch for crispy spicy chicken, lo mein, egg drop soup, and hot and sour soup. Haven't gotten a chance to try dim sum yet. And haven't been in the mood for hot pot since it's hot in Texas

Everything was fantastic. The service was fast, virtually no wait time. The food comes out hot and ready to eat. Me and My Girlfriend Rosana ordered the Spicy sautéed sichuan chicken and Sautéed greens beans. I also ordered the orange chicken with Crab Rangoons. The first dish was amazing. The noodles with the spicy sautéed chicken went together amazingly and complimented the green beans and left a great after taste. The orange chicken came with broccoli and steam rice, and both were hot tasty and delicious! This is the best experience we have had in a while so i had to make my first post this one. This restaurant had a great atmosphere and ambiance. They made sure we were served and satisfied while we were eating. I will definitely go back. It was amazing :)

We tried the beef tripe, boiled fish in stew, and fried eggplant. Service was fast and friendly. They refilled our waters many times! The fried eggplant was my favorite. The texture was soft but still had form. It was slightly sweet! The beef tripe was bouncy and tasty. I also liked the boiled fish stew. There were lots of cabbage in the stew.

We wanna love this place. The board menu seems to be the best part of the menu but we came in to try the dim sum, it wasn't terrible but a $120 lunch for 4 it was disappointing sadly...the snow pea leave were the only part of lunch that was good and it came with steamed rice which we had to ask for then ended up with two and told we'd be charged for it even tho we only asked for what it came with...service was good but i wouldn't recommend the dimsum at all

spicy boiled fish
Darian C.

The food was really good and there wasn't a wait for a weekday lunch. I ordered the spicy crispy chicken, egg plant with garlic, broccoli and beef, and spicy boiled fish. I think my favorite dish was the spicy crispy chicken and after that the spicy boiled fish. For 3 people, we ordered 4 dishes and it was a lot, I think we would have been fine with just 3 dishes. Some of the entrees also came with a soup which I got egg drop soup and it was really good as well. I think the service was a bit slower but the waiter was nice.

CK21. Dry Pot Chicken
B Abigail T.

Still my absolute favorite restaurant in San Antonio! I've been coming here for 4 years and I order the crispy spicy fish and the green beans. My boyfriend orders the twice cooked pork and the dry pot chicken and we eat all of this with white rice. It is absolutely fantastic every single time. The spicy cumin lamb, and the steamed cabbage are more of our favorites, but we can't eat so much food. It's family style serving!

Ask the Community - Sichuan Garden

Is the restaurant closed for lunar new year?

Is the hot pot price for a whole table or will each person get charged the price?

It buys you one very large hot pot, enough for several people.

I tried to dine in Saturday night, but the host informed me the dining room was closed. There were people seated, eating. Your yelp says you close at 10:00. Have you adjusted your hours here on yelp?

What time did you show up? If it was at or after 9pm, that would be expected at any restaurant, as "closed" usually means closed and cleaning up for tomorrow. After 9 wouldn't allow enough time for proper cooking, service, etc.

Is this restaurant open through the covid-19 crisis? We've called 12 times and it rings and goes to voicemail.

It has been closed the last few time I drove by

Is this restaurant still open? Tried calling multiple times for takeout order but no answer.

Sorry, don't know.

What are the "healthiest" dishes or methods of cooking on the menu?

I believe they are all healthy. I'm guessing those without meat are healthier. They have several without meat dishes.

Do they deliver?

At this time we do not deliver.

Do they still serve Hot Pot?

Yes my friend. We still do.

Does this place have xiao long bao? If so, does the soup actually stay inside?

If they have it, it's not on the menu.

Does this restaurant have a gluten free option?

I would like to start by saying this is an important question. I don't know the menu that well but I think you can eat anything you want!… 

Is ur hot pot authentic sichuan style ( as in hot and spicy ? ) not some americanized version but real ? Iived in china b4 and know the difference. And how much is it ? Come with the burner at the table?

Yes, our hot pot can be spicy, regular broth or both. I think it is as authentic as it can be. We have a hot pot combo for 39.99, and pick-your-own. Yes there will be a burner at the table. Thank you.

Is this restaurant BYOB?

Sichuan Garden is no longer BYOB. They now sell beer and wine and are quite rude if you bring your own and didn't know this.

Looking to come and get takeout but we dont see your menu listed. Or am i missing it?

Hi, Dawn. There should a menu section... If you can't find it, look into the picture section, there is menu there.

I moved from east coast and have yet to find similar style of east coast type Chinese food. How does this place compare if anyone is familiar with east coast Chinese food?

The Sichuan Province is in central China and they're known for their chili peppers and "ma-la" spice, that is, literally a numbing spice. It's probably toned down compared to what you get in Sichuan, but no idea how it can compare to what east coast… 

What gluten free items are on menu?

Not at the moment but we can make request to the chef on several dishes. Most dishes are impossible to make it gluten free... according to our recipes. Cheng Tan

I ordered the crispy dumplings (pork) and spring rolls as appetizers, and the spicy noodle soup as my entree. My server came to take my order, and brought me the items as they were ready. The entree came out before the appetizers. The spicy noodle soup was spicy (as named) and it was good, but it was incredibly oily and the noodles were overcooked, so I didn't eat much of it. I would definitely recommend ordering this with rice, or taking it home and making your own. The dumplings and spring rolls were crispy, but nothing special. I did like the duck sauce they had -- I would have asked my server for more of it, but she was busy in the back or something, not sure. I wish she would've checked in on me a bit more during the visit so I could have gotten more napkins and sauce. The service was alright. I wish I would've gotten checked on a little bit more, but she was nice and helped me pack my noodles to go. Overall, this spot wasn't terrible, but if I had to choose, I'd probably try another place.

It's been about a year or so since we've been coming here fairly regularly and I really cannot complain about anything specific. Most meals are excellent with a I miss now and then, but overall, I would never complain about that. The price of their meals seem to be stuck in a world without crazy tyrant leaders, and inflation out the roof, though I don't know for how much longer that will remain. Wah Kee!

We noticed the decor had changed (yes, I said it had been many years) and it was quite nice! We were seated promptly and placed our drink order (tea came with lunch). We ordered Rangoon as a starter. The lunch specials came with soup and egg roll, and fried rice. DH ordered his litmus test dish for American style Chinese- General Tso chicken. The portion was generous. The sauce was tasty. The chicken pieces tasted like your average frozen nuggets tossed in sauce. It's that familiar "seasoning" to the chicken and coating- iykyk. Not bad at all, just not the best. He enjoyed his egg drop soup. I opted for Hunan Beef. The sauce was thicker than I prefer, with an almost gelatinous consistency. The hot and sour soup was nice, a little more sour than hot. We both thought the fried rice that came with lunch was a little bland. Maybe the entree version is better? Each special was under $10, and it's definitely a great value.
