    11. Shredded Chicken in Pepper Sauce
    Bry H.

    Food is fine, but... FOOD: Shredded chicken in pepper sauce - 4/5 It is a cold dish, NUMBING more than spicy, which is fun, we like it. Beef chow fun - 4/5 Decent flavor, nothing particularly outstanding Dry fried shrimp, lamb, veggie combo - 4/5 Good flavor - shrimp come with shells, which is fine, shell has all the flavoring. Lamb pieces are small and shredded, you will have to dig around for them. Generously amount of potato slices, lotus root slices, bean sprouts, and mushroom. SERVICE: (Here is the tea!) Assuming she is the manager/owner (the lady in short hair), she checked on us to see if we were ready to order. She then started recommending dishes. According to her, they a celebrating a Chinese festival so the crab or lobster are half off. Well I didn't show interest (simply because I find crab and lobster too much work), my husband on the other hand was asking questions about them. Then he asked if I want to do it, I said I don't want it, but up to him. So he said no to the lady, because I was not up for it. The lady of course didn't take no for an answer, so she continued to sell it to my husband and said "oh but you are interested right? It's great price ($50). It's our special today" But we insisted we don't want it. And ordered the three dishes we want to try. The lady probably thought I don't speak Chinese. She complained to her coworker in Chinese saying how I didn't want the crab and so my husband couldn't order it even though he was very much interested. Sort of saying it's my fault that we didn't go for the $50 crab dish. I'm sure not everyone would get the dish every time she sells it. But because she was talking about me behind my back, I have to knock out one star from the experience. So meh on the service. She seems nice otherwise as she is passionate with her recommendations.

    Dan Dan noodles + pork $16.50

    Sichuan Home has been a previous Michelin star winner and I can see why after trying out 6 of their most popular dishes: Sichuan style spicy chicken $15.95 classic battered fried chicken chunks, these were crunchy crispy and full of flavor Roast cumin lamb chop $22.95 I'm a sucker for lamb but never had lamb chops quite like this! It almost looked like bbq pork ribs but my oh my that cumin seasoning was magic dust Chefs special fish stew + tofu $26.95 not everything at Sichuan Home is spicy and this fish stew is so delicious, even spice lovers won't miss the spiciness Dan Dan noodles + pork $16.50 this is your typical recipe and I wasn't all that impressed so I would SKIP THIS! Duck and beer sauce $22.95 what an interesting dish that I've never seen before. You can't actually taste any beer and if it wasn't in the description, I would've never guessed. There were a lot of duck pieces though so I wouldn't order this again. I did enjoy the interesting konjac jelly slices in the mix Pea sprout garlic $16.95 another classic and if you find yourself in need of veggies to balance out your meal, this could be a treat, even though it's about 3x the price of raw ones at the market We dined at 5pm on a Saturday. There are parking spaces in the residential area within walking distance. Sichuan Home is a cozy restaurant so I'm glad we were there early as I'd probably not want to be there if it was crowded. Be prepared that you have to walk through the kitchen in order to get to the bathroom. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. If you're not sure about how spicy your tolerance is, she'll work with you to customize your preference. Dishes took about 15-20 to all arrive. Rice is $2 per small bowl. You get a 5% discount if you pay in cash. Total bill was $135.51

    Fine Sichuan resturant. The portion is pretty big and the one fish dish was enough for two people.

    We've been going to this place for at least 10 years and it is still by far one of the best Sichuan restaurants in San Francisco. For my spouse and I, it is our favorite. The food is always excellent, super flavorful and consistently of the same quality. The prices are super reasonable. The service is friendly and fast. This place is legit Sichuan food (I lived in China so I have high standards ), if you are looking for American-Chinese food, I am sure they can do it, but might not be the best. I am surprised this place isn't getting a better rating. Good for us because there is almost never wait time to get a table.

    Rain had subsided. Mid May. We finished hiking and back from Tennessee Valley. Feeling peckish. I announced I wanted a sandwich and my BFF and hiking buddy said he was not hungry. I love Lou's so off we went to Geary. I stumbled onto this Chinese restaurant a few doors down. Never heard of it but I wanted something warm all of the sudden. Sichuan organ meats in hot chili oil to the rescue on a cold day. The Chinese word for this dish is Mao Xue Wong. Honestly the best I have had inside and outside of China. Superb dish. Excellent for impressing your Chinese friends with. Authentic. Fried intestines is a guilty pleasure of mine. I ate quite a bit of that. Also super Chinese and something I would order all over again. For the whitie friends in your circle - pot stickers and kung pao chicken are decidedly Americanized. This restaurant is small and unnoticeable from outside but a real gem. Best I had since I was in Shanghai for work recently and dined at a fancy Sichuan restaurant on our campus. I would definitely be back with my family and friends.

    25. Spicy Fish and Chinese Herb Spice 香水鱼 ($30.95)
    Elena N.

    Date: Monday, February 26th, 2024 Meal: Dinner Delivery Party of: 2 Time Ordered: around 7:30pm Time Delivered: around 8:15pm How: DoorDash (DD) Delivered To: Outer Richmond 6. Cucumber in spicy Garlic Sauce 蒜蓉黄瓜 ($12.95) 39. Chongqing Style Spicy Chicken 重庆辣子鸡 - Boneless 无骨 ($18.95) 25. Spicy Fish and Chinese Herb Spice 香水鱼 ($30.95) 114. Pot Sticker (6 Pieces) 锅贴 ($10.95) For some reason I was craving fish. Specifically fish cooked in chili oil. I'm more of a Canto Chinese food girl, but sometimes food in chili oil seems super comforting. Looking around DD, I found Sichuan Home. The hubby doesn't really eat Szechuan food, so he just randomly picked the fried chicken. I typically find this dish more breading than chicken, so I don't normally care for it. This one wasn't any different. Lots of peppers tho, which was nice since I like spicy. The cucumber salad was good. Garlicky and flavorful. Tho I like mine with heat, so I added more hot chili oil. The fish dish was huge! Not that I wasn't expecting it to be at $31, but it came in three large soup containers. The fish itself was nice and moist. I do wish restaurants served this is smaller portions since I can never finish a whole one. I still have 2/3 of it sitting in my fridge. Lol! Great spot to fulfill my sichuan boiled fish cravings.

    Craving for some Sichuan food and decided to make a trip to Richmond to try this place out. Sichuan home was mentioned in the Michelin guide from 2013-2017 so was pretty excited and had high expectations for the food. THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!! There was only one server running the dinning area but seems like she got everything under control. Serving the tables and taking care of the Togo orders and didn't seem a bit overwhelmed. She also took the time to ask our spice tolerance and offer to make the dishes we ordered less spicy if we wished. Food was authentic and the Sichuan flavor is very in your face. At the end of the meal, my partner and I were sweating but can't stop because it's so addicting. Our favorite was the green peppercorn fish soup (recommended by the server, as the restaurant is known for their Sichuan fish). The fish is tender and packed with flavors that's somewhat refreshing and not too greasy. Definitely will come back again next time to tryout other dishes that seem interesting!

    12/25/23 Merry Christmas.   #87. Honey Walnut Prawn
    Lee D.

    Merry Christmas everyone. Thanks for being open and seating us without reservations! Quality/Quantity - Salted Fish & Chicken Fried Rice - My daughter thought this was too salty, but everyone else liked the flavor. It was a little oily though. #87. Honey Walnut Prawn - Good, but as usual, we would have preferred more prawns #108. Tofu and Broccoli in Brown Sauce - This was a hit with my family. The tofu was tender and the broccoli was steamed well. Crispy and fresh. #132. Beef Chow Fun - Staple item and one of my daughter's favorites. The bean sprouts were a little too generous. Not perfectly proportioned. See picture. #126. Sichuan Style Rice Cake and Brown Sugar - Dessert. Looked way better than it tasted. My daughter said tomorrow she will make this for us at home! Atmosphere - Small local restaurant. The bathroom is in the back through the kitchen, thanks for making this public! I don't understand why and how some full service restaurants do NOT let us use their bathrooms. At minimum, they should offer hand washing stations. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 10pm. Street parking but free today as it was Christmas. Service - 5 stars; the owner was also the waitress. Aggressive with her suggestive selling, but not in a negative way. Suggesting the pork shoulder and crab today, their specials. Huge team working today. Approximately 2-3 people worked the front of the house, and 10 people in the back of the house. Price - $78 + generous tip. Cash discount, but we chose to pay by credit card. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2011. See you next time.

    Came here with a friend on a rainy Saturday evening! My friend got the Couple's Delight, which was good, but it was a cold dish which he didn't expect. We shared the Chongqing Style Chicken which was very tasty - it was hot, crispy, and flavorful! We were originally going to order the Sichuan Tea Smoked Duck, but our waitress warned us that this is a cold dish & she recommended we get the Spicy Tea Smoked Duck instead. We both found the duck was a bit salty - besides that, the duck was cooked well and the flavors were great! The staff was very friendly and the service was fast - would recommend checking this place out!

    The soup dumplings, the Sichuan Dan Dan noodles and the fried beef was superb! The service here is so good.. our server, she was so funny and attentive and she took our experience a notch higher. We also got a few hot sakes and wine. Everything here was so good! We had such a good time even though this was a dinner with my boss haha! I can't recommend this place enough. This is a big gourmand btw! Come here if you're in SF and love Chinese food.

    Andrew R.

    This is a great Sichuan spot! The fish stew was the major highlight for me, the broth was so flavorful and the fish was extremely fresh and tasty. A must get. The chongqing spicy chicken was alright, though it wasn't as crispy as I thought it'd be. The string beans were great and flavorful. And the onion pancakes were a good side, tho I might try a different dim sum item next time. The service was great and prices were reasonable for the quality of the food!

    My absolute favorite Chinese restaurant in the city! They are without a doubt a hidden gem. Cozy, above and beyond service and above all, THE YUMMIEST dishes! We've become their BYOF (bring your own fish) customers for the past year and always leave satisfied. We typically order the BBQ+veggie and Sweet and Sour dish - highly recommend! With this variety you get the savory and sweet! Go visit our gal, Mae. She's delightful!

Once they started calling tables, it moved really fast. When we were seated, we ended up sharing a table with two other groups of two. I actually didn't mind it at all because there was still enough space between everyone to have privacy. It also made the experience feel more social -- I ended up chatting with the people to my right and left about the food. Everything we ordered was really good. Their popular dry fried chicken absolutely lived up to the hype and was probably my favorite thing on the menu... besides the cherry pork. I feel like nobody talks about the cherry pork enough! It was SO good -- kind of like a sweet-and-sour pork without the sour. I dipped it in soy sauce because I loved the sweet and salty combo together. The dumplings were also really good. The wrapper was thin and delicious, but my boyfriend said he wished they had a little more protein filling and less leek. The green beans are always a hit. The only thing I probably wouldn't order again was the black bean sauce noodles. Maybe I just expected a different flavor, but to me they honestly tasted like regular lo mein. I'm also not a huge noodle person in general, so I'd probably skip them next time and order something else instead. Forgot to mention their prices are on point! Definitely recommend to any of the tourists. I think the weight is definitely worth it and I love being able to take home my leftovers and eating them for lunch and dinner the next day.

He had the black bean spicy fish with white rice, and I chose the mapo tofu with fried rice. Each lunch came with tea, a cup of hot and sour soup, and an egg roll. The soup really stood out. It wasn't just a thin broth with a few scraps floating around. It was a genuine, comforting hot and sour soup with real ingredients in every spoonful. That alone made the meal feel thoughtful and complete. The portions were satisfying and well balanced, and everything arrived hot and fresh. My husband enjoyed his fish, which had good flavor and a nice texture. The mapo tofu was exactly how I like it. The tofu held its shape, which made a big difference. I do not enjoy overly soft tofu that falls apart, and this had a firmer bite that worked really well with the sauce. The dish was clean tasting, with a steady heat that was noticeable but not overwhelming. It had spice, but it did not overpower the dish or linger too aggressively. There was no pork, which I appreciated, and it still felt complete and satisfying without it. What made this meal especially meaningful for me is that I had just gotten out of the hospital a week ago after dealing with malnutrition, dehydration, and several health issues. I had not been eating well and had lost over 80 pounds in the past year. This was the first full, nourishing meal I have truly been able to enjoy in a long time. For the first time in months, I did not feel weak or fragile afterward. I felt full, steady, and strong. That kind of experience goes beyond just good food. It felt restorative. It felt like care. From what others often say, this place has built a strong reputation for bold Sichuan flavors that are still approachable. People tend to mention the generous portions, the consistent quality, and the fact that the spice levels are flavorful rather than overwhelming. It is the kind of spot that draws both regulars and first time visitors who are looking for something reliable and satisfying. Spicy House gave me more than just a meal. They gave me a moment of comfort and strength when I really needed it. We will absolutely be back.
