My friends and I came to Swan impression on a Sunday night around 7:30 PM. They were still pretty busy during this time and I was not surprised by it. We've been at their location in Tustin and I heard this one was better than that location I was really excited about it. Teson is really good too, so I had a pretty good expectation on this location. Upon arrival, we were immediately seated by the staff member and she was pretty efficient and on top of things. I have attached here, but the ambience is pretty lively, but also not too loud. It was an enjoyable experience where you can talk with each other and be able to hear one another. At the same time, they had a clean and classy decor to their interior design. We ordered the stirfry lamb with cumin, shredded potato, and the chili oil fish fillet. The Lamb - 5/5 was perfectly cooked and seasoned with a very nice heat to it. Be careful because this is not for those sensitive to spicy food, but if you do like spicy, this has such a nice kick to it. The shredded potato - 5/5 one of my favorite dishes to substitute for the rice. Don't be deceived by how it looks. It definitely has a kick and can numb your mouth; however, you can still taste the pickled flavor in each bite. The chilli oil fish - 5/5 one of my most favorite dishes from both locations. Although the spiciest of the dishes, you taste the flavor through each bite. The dish is perfectly cooked and just dissolves in your mouth. Overall I am extremely satisfied with our visit and recommend coming here if you're ever in the area!! read more

Came by Sichuan Impression and had a pretty mixed experience overall. We ordered the spicy squid tentacles dry pot, which honestly was a bit disappointing. The squid tentacles were tiny, and the dish felt like it was mostly filled with mixed vegetables. For $25.99, it definitely felt a little like a rip-off. On the brighter side, the Tea Smoked Pork Rib was really good--super flavorful and probably my favorite dish of the meal. That said, most of the menu is on the pricier side, and the portions aren't very generous, so value-wise it's a bit questionable. Service was just okay. No one really checked in on us, and we had to wave our hands a few times to get attention when we needed something. Overall, solid flavors in some dishes, but the portion size and pricing hold it back from being a full 5 stars. read more

First time checking this spot out and it did not disappoint. Service was friendly and quick, which made everything super smooth. The restaurant was very clean and well kept. The food though, easily the highlight. Everything came out packed with bold, authentic Sichuan flavors and just the right amount of heat. Solid first impression overall. Definitely a spot I'd come back to. Fried Pork Intestine 10/10 - The intestines were perfectly cooked, super crispy and packed with flavor. The celery balanced out the intense heat of the spices. This was a really well crafted dish. Kung Pao Chicken 9/10 - This dish was sweet and savory, with a hint of spices. Twice Cooked Pork 6/10 - The pork was good and tender. The dish was well seasoned, but the veggies didn't really go well with the pork. It was a solid dish, nothing to write home about. Note: They currently have a weekday special going on (see my pictures for more information). read more

Always wanted to try this place out! Despite the name, they actually have a good amount of non-spicy dishes here to offer. We first started off with ordering A-Choy, Tea Smoked Pork Rib, and the flaming pork jowl. The choy came out first, which even though it's a super simple dish, it was quite tasty! The Tea Smoked Pork Rib was also pretty good, it falls off the bone! It has a prominent smoky flavor to it, which was pretty nice. We also got the pork jowl which was pretty unique. We didn't know how 'fancy' the dish was lol but they also poured alcohol over it over hot stones, and you eat it with lettuce and garnishes for a refreshing bite. All of the dishes were pretty good. Service was pretty standard. It wasn't too busy so it was pretty quick for us to receive our food. There wasn't that many people either so we were seated quickly. It does feel more of a modern Chinese restaurant, which the dishes were also more nicely presented. Although, the price point feels kinda expensive for what it is lol. I wouldn't say the ribs would be $30 worth given the portion size either, nor the pork jowl. It feels more like an elevated experience with the ambiance and presentation, but the food is just 'good'. read more

Portions here are big. Everything tastes great. My favorite was the pig trotters, pork spare ribs, and the fried intestine. The bamboo, beef noodle soup, smoked duck were all really good. Service was good very attentive. I love the mala spice. The restaurant is very clean and modern looking. HAPPY MALA SPICING!! read more

The food is very good and made with quality ingredients. I wish I knew how they smoke the poutry and pork meats, as it is always perfectly smoked. The wonton soups and dumplings were tasty and filling. I was cautious about the spicy foods but found they do have mild foods too. If you have a sweet tooth, they also have an Ube custard like dessert which the kids really liked. Although the location is small, the food quality is excellent along with the respectable service. read more

During our trip to LA, I was looking forward to great eats in the SGV area. I've been wanting to have Sichuan Impression again since having it at the Tustin location a few years ago. We were surprised and pleased to see that the location has been Michelin recommended two times! We ordered the maocai, chongqing chicken/laziji, and cold noodles. Everything hit the spot and satisfied my cravings. I think my only complaints was the maocai was a bit too oily...and I wish the food was a tad bit spicier and numbing because the Tustin location didn't seem to shy away from spice. :) I do love how their teas and drinks come in a huge, tall glass mug and is worth the money! The waiters were super friendly and checked in with us often. read more

Wow! Just WOW! =] I can see why this place is so popular. The flavors for every dish HITTTTTT!! I don't know about the other dishes, but what we ordered from the DineLA Menu was AMAZzinggg! lol The tea smoked ribs were tender. It didn't fall off the bone, but it was good. If only it was a bit more juicy, it would have been a 10/10 lol My fav was definitely the wontons in chili oil. Omg, I could eat 10 of it hahha it was that good!! The garlic flavor really hit the spot.. Not the biggest fan of the bean jelly cold noodle, but it was not bad at all. The couple's sliced beef in chili sauce was my 2nd fav. Each slice of beef was soft and packed with flavor. It had a good amount of spice that gives you a little kick. Wok-fried Cauliflower w/crispy pork lard was a hit at the table. Everybody loved it. We found ourselves wanting more and more of it. I also had a coupon for a complimentary sweet potato balls. It was delicious. I can eat a bunch of these too. Luckily, we arrived early for dinner. When we were halfway eating, the line was crazy. Sichuan Impression really left a good IMPRESSION... $72 DineLA was definitely worth it. It was family style...so the $72 set was for a party of 3-4. My friend thought it was $72 pp...lol she was surprised. Service was alright Nice restaurant =] read more

Michelin guide recommended, but my experience fell flat. We went on a Saturday evening for dinner. They have underground parking but we found street parking a few blocks away. The place was packed and there was a decent wait list. Luckily, we were seated at a table fairly quickly. Ordering is automated via QR code, so there was minimal interaction with the staff. The food came out quickly. We ordered tea smoked pork ribs, boiled fish with rattan pepper, A choy, and mini lamb skewers. Food was cooked decently but most dishes needed more flavor. The pork fell off the bone easily but tasted bland. The fish was tender but I could not drink the broth due to intensity of peppercorns. This is not probably not a fault of the chef, but it just irritates my throat. The lamb was a bit dry and had minimal spice (coming from a guy who doesn't tolerate spice). The dish had almost as many peppers as meat. Unfortunately, the vegetables outshined all the proteins, which says something... I wanted to really like this place and would be open to trying it again. At least I left with a full stomach. read more

Sichuan Impression - Szechuan Near Me - Alhambra, California

Came here with a group of friends for DineLA last month and it was such a great experience from start to finish. For the set menu, we chose the original kung pao chicken, wontons in chili oil, mini lamb skewers, tea smoked pork ribs, and the impressive cold noodles. We also added the flaming pork jowl. For dessert, we ordered the purple rice mochi taro ball, which was really good, and they even gave us a fried taro ball after we sent them an IG DM. Nice little bonus. Every single dish was amazing and the presentation honestly felt Michelin level. You can tell they really care about how the food looks and tastes. Our favorite was the tea smoked pork ribs. The flavor was deep and smoky, and the meat was tender. The kung pao chicken was a pleasant surprise. It was not your typical overly sweet takeout version. This one felt elevated and balanced. The cold noodles were also so good, super flavorful and refreshing. The flaming pork jowl wrapped in perilla leaves and dipped in their house sauce was next level. The ambiance is modern and gives off high end vibes. Service was amazing across the board. All the servers were attentive and professional, and the whole experience almost felt like fine dining because everyone was so on point. Noise level was low, so we had no problem having a normal conversation. Parking was easy for us on a weekday lunch. They have their own parking garage and there is also free street parking nearby. I can see weekends being more challenging though. Definitely coming back to try more of their dishes. This spot really impressed us. read more

Came to this place for lunch after church and it is a nice and cozy place.. The restaurant is clean and not too loud. The service was good but had to wait on the food but that just means it's made fresh and made to order. The parking structure was pretty empty and got parking easy. We got the pork ribs that were 10/10 . Then yuxiang shrimp 20/10 . The kung pao chicken was too sweet for my taste but not bad 7/10 and the mapo tofu was alright 5/10. Prices are not bad and quality is good and you get a good amount for the price. The dessert sweet potato taro balls. 10/10. Overall good place and would come back again. read more

The $72 five course at sichuan impression Alhambra is still my top choice among all the dinela deals because the taste is up there along with value. Got the following: Steamed Pork Ribs with Rice Flour 粉蒸排骨 $16 - tender meat Tender Bamboo Shoots in Chili Sauce 红油笋尖 $12 - actually tender, no old stringy bamboo mixed in Wonton In Chili Oil 红油抄手 $13.50 - Not spicy, in fact a little sweet Mini Lamb Skewers 竹签羊肉 $22 - still a fav dish here. Would rec to try! Tea Smoked Pork Rib 七里香酥骨 $30 - I liked it but mostly bc I like ribs in general. I think the flavor is a bit lighter. I prefer dry over saucy ribs so it worked out. Overall, I'd be down to eat all of the above again. My favs here are still the mini lamb skewers and mushroom chicken soup and rice! Protip: We redeemed the FREE sweet potato taro balls ($5 value). Anyone can get it by dm'ing the restaurant on insta or wechat read more

Came here for the Dine LA deal and it was great way to taste their dishes for a good value! Elevated Chinese restaurant with unique dishes. 5 dishes for $72 and they have 3 add on dishes. Joined on Yelp waitlist to avoid long wait. Service was friendly. We added the flaming pork jowl add on for $30 and it came with a show! They grinded fresh litsea root which smelled amazing. Lit up a fire show for the dish. Marinated perfectly with tender meat wrapped in fresh veggies. My other favorite was the tea smoked pork rib. Super tender and falls off the bone. Light tea flavor and had aromatics of garlic and scallions. The kung pao chicken was also tasty and slightly different from traditional flavors. The impressive cold noodles. Had a tasty Sichuan taste to it. Sauce similar to the chili wonton. The wonton was more on the pork flavor side. The stir fried ribeye was tender but standard dish. Looks like they extended their Dine LA deal. They have garage parking. read more

My family and I went to Sichuan Impression on Christmas Eve, and it was packed! On the way to the restaurant, the Yelp waitlist said it was about a 20 minute wait, so I signed up and put that I'd arrive in 20 minutes. The wait time was a bit inaccurate, because once we arrived at the restaurant, we had to wait an additional hour outside. Although the wait time was inaccurate, the food was great! Sichuan restaurants are always a favorite of mine when in LA! My favorite dishes were the pork kidney as well as the Sliced Beef appetizer. The service was good, and the food came out very quickly. If you're looking for some good Sichuan food, I would recommend this spot; just be sure to sign up for the waitlist! read more

I came here for Dine LA. They offer 5 different dishes for $72. It's enough to feed 4 people. From the Dine LA menu, I ordered the following: 1) Kung pao chicken, original not spicy version (4/5). I don't eat spicy food so I ordered the original version. It does come with spicy pepper but if you don't eat the pepper, it is not spicy. 2) Fried rice (4/5). This was good. Solid fried rice. 3) Cold noodle (5/5). I asked for the sauce on the side so I can control the spicy level. It was just right for me by tossing the sauce with the noodles myself. 4) Tea smoked ribs (3/5). The ribs were a bit dry. The flavor was overpowered by the smoke. It tasted smokey. 5) Angus beef with onions and green onions (3/5). Although the beef was tender, it lacks flavors. It comes with lots of onions and green onions. Service was good. Server was friendly and efficient. The food came out quickly. This restaurant specializes in spicy food. Since I don't eat spicy food, selections are somewhat limited. If you are a fan of spicy food, I would recommend this place. read more

This was my second visit at this location and the service + flavors were all on point. For reference, I live in Orange County - so I do frequent the Tustin location a lot more. Our party was greeted and seated right away, which is always a plus. You have the option to order with a server or scan the QR code at your table and order directly from your phone. Bonus: If you order from your phone, you can accumulate points towards your next visit at this location only. Ok, onto the food: Sliced Beef with Chili Sauce: This was good - except my family loves spicy food and we felt it wasn't spicy enough, so we asked the server to bring out more chili oil. Otherwise, this classic dish is always a favorite of ours. Mapo Tofu with minced Pork: Made with just the right amount of spice, and just a hint of that numbing Sichuan Peppercorn. Paired very well with rice; delicious. Spicy Fried Intestines: My personal favorite, and the intestines were fried to perfection. The spice on this dish was just right as well - and we devoured this dish. Spicy Boiled Beef: This dish was very good as well, perfect amount of spice. Loaded with veggies too. String Beans: This dish was seasoned well and the string beans had good texture as well. A nice veggie dish to help balance out the meal with so many meat dishes. Overall, if I'm visiting family in Alhambra and surrounding areas - I will always suggest Sichuan Impression. Have been visiting the Tustin location for years now and I'm happy to support their other locations as well. If you like spicy food, give this place a shot! read more

Went here for their dineLA offer and was very satisfied! We got the Tender Bamboo Shoots in Chili Sauce, Kung Pao Chicken, Tea-Smoked Pork Ribs, Mini Lamb Skewers, and Wontons in Chili Oil. Honestly, all of them were delicious, but my favorites were the Mini Lamb Skewers and the Kung Pao Chicken. The lamb in the skewers had a nice chewiness without being gamey, and the slight spiciness balanced the meat really well. I usually don't like ordering Kung Pao chicken at other places because it often has a sweet aftertaste that I'm not a fan of. However, the one here was very well balanced, and the meat was quite tender. If you love spicy food, most of the dishes wouldn't actually be considered very spicy. It's still very much enjoyable. If you follow and DM them on Instagram, you can also get a complimentary Sweet Potato Ball with Taro. This dessert was so good because it had just a hint of sweetness, and the outside was perfectly crunchy! The staff were all attentive, friendly, and fast. The restaurant was clean, well-lit, and had some booth seating too. In addition, they have a parking structure and plenty of street parking around the area. read more

We visited Sichuan Impression to try their Dine LA 5-course menu, which offers a few choices per course. Overall, the flavors were good and the service was solid, but the portions leaned much smaller than expected for a multi-course meal. From the Dine LA menu, we ordered: * Kung Pao Chicken (4/5): Nicely flavored and enjoyable, but the portion was quite small--more like an appetizer than a main. * Impressive Dumplings (3/5): We were expecting the steamed xiao long bao, but instead received dumplings in a spicy wonton-style sauce. The wrappers were thicker than we prefer. * Stir-Fried Angus Ribeye with Scallions (3/5): This didn't quite taste like ribeye and felt closer to beef chuck. It was heavier on onions than scallions, slightly salty, and again, a very small portion. * Tea-Smoked Pork Ribs (4/5): The meat fell right off the bone, which was great, but it was a bit dry and lacking in flavor. Came with about 7 ribs and felt more like a proper entrée portion compared to the other dishes. * Grandma's Pickled Cucumbers (3/5): Refreshing, but not quite pickled enough for our taste. Because the Dine LA portions felt more like tasting plates, we added a few additional dishes: * Beef Noodle Soup (2/5): The broth was extremely numbing and spicy, with only noodles and four slices of beef--no vegetables. * Impressive Bean Jelly (2/5): Unfortunately disappointing. The bean jelly was mushy and broken, and the dish was overly spicy and salty. * Dry-Fried String Beans (3/5): Flavor was okay, but the beans were overly dried and wrinkled, and again, the portion was quite small. Overall, the food was decent, but the Dine LA portions were noticeably small. I'd recommend either reducing the number of courses and increasing portion sizes, or being a bit more generous with servings to better match expectations. Service was good, especially considering how busy it was--we were still able to flag down staff when needed, which we appreciated. Would come back to order à la carte, but the Dine LA menu could use some adjustment. read more

Our first time ordering from this place. We usually like to dry spicy foods, but our kiddo does not enjoy it. Was glad to find some options for him to enjoy non-spicy dishes. The spice level was just right and we were able to enjoy. Very surprising packaging. The bag was high-quality and so was there to go containers. Too bad we couldn't try the actual location but, glad that DoorDash worked out for us. read more

This was a perfect experience, flawless. 6 out of 5. Totally recommend. We had the beef combination soup and the spicy wontons to share and it was plenty. The soup was brilliant. So simple.. but so sophisticated, it had just the 3 ingredients. sirloin strips, tripe and daikon (white asian radish). The broth was so flavorful, and so delicately balanced and the meat was so tender. Amazing! The mix of spices, the chopped green onions and the cilantro came on the side and added another dimension. Spicy pork wontons were chewy, we get them every time at Din Tai Fun and they compared favorably. Our server was very welcoming and she went thru the WHOLE menu and recommended dishes from each page, which was a lot of help. The restaurant was clean, and I loved the design. We came with a 9 mo old and were accommodated with a high chair and the baby plate and spoon. We had that plate replaced 3 times in a span of 5 minutes and they were very patient. Definitely coming back for more! read more

We came for the dinela menu. We had to wait around 5 minutes for a party of 4. This place has a yelp check in list. The menu was good, but a few things are a bit weird. The first weird thing is that the menu says it feeds 3-4 people, which is true, but the last option is a single serving of beer or dessert. Smh! The other weird thing is that it doesn't have a vegetable option for the dinela. So we ordered green beans. Which were really tasty, just a tad bit salty. Overall, this place was great. All the food was delicious. Even the things marked with the Impressive labels. The Impressive cold noodles would have been way better if they were served warm instead, but still good cold. You should also come before 6. It gets crowded read more

Came here craving something numbing, something mala spicy. I've always had this place on my to-go list but never got the chance to until today. The restaurant setting is very clean and modern which I liked. You order from a QR code on the table and they bring you the food style of service. Everything that I got was very delicious and well made. The spicy boiling fish that I got does not have numbing spices, but all I had to do was ask the waiter and they were gladly kind enough to add numbing spices for me which made the experience really good. My favorite would have to be the Spicy Fried Intestines, as they were very crispy and very very numby. If you are a spice fantatic, I would say that this place is the place for you and even if you are not they are more than welcome to accommodate for less or even no spicy too. I would definitely come back here again if I am ever craving Sichuan style food or spicy dishes. read more

My cousin and her husband were in town and invited me for dinner, along with their daughter. They picked Sichuan Impression since our relatives have all been talking about and frequenting this restaurant this past month. Alhambra location: a big plus as we did not have to drive as it's less than ten minutes of walking distance. I believe there's a parking garage in the back of the building. My first impression as we walked in, I just love the interior decor!!! Beautiful giant lamp shades really caught my eye instantly! It was a quiet Wednesday night, one hour before closing, and the place was empty. We were seated close to the entrance by the windows, looking out to Main Street. It was so peaceful that we were able to have a conversation as we dined. Since my cousin's husband loves pork intestines, we ordered the fried spicy intestines. They are deliciously crunchy, but beware, very spicy (even though we ordered mild). I wish this plate came with more intestines, instead of a lot of dry chili and celery. The celery is very tasty, however the chili not as edible. 10 out of 10, as I would order this again. My pick was the tea smoked pork ribs. This dish is beautifully crafted as the pork ribs are directly placed on a wooden cutting board. You can taste the smokiness of the pork. The meat just falls off of the bones. Since I truly enjoy sweet food, I feel like the pork ribs could use a glaze of honey or something. This dish isn't spicy at all, so it balances out all the other spicy dishes. 8 out of 10. However, I feel the $29.99 price tag is a bit outrageous. The price would deter me from ordering it again. The third dish is the boiled fish fillet with rattan pepper. It's a fish soup that's prepared with black fungus and bean sprouts. It's peppery, but not chili spicy. It's pretty good, but I can't say I love this dish so much I would order it again. 7 out of 10. All four of us agreed we needed one vegetable dish, so we ordered mustard leafy greens cooked with garlic. Very simple but truly complements all the other spicy and greasy dishes. I would definitely return. As a matter of fact, I'm craving Sichuan Impression as I'm writing this review. Since I'm old school, I do wish they offered a physical menu, instead of having to scan the QR code. My niece did the ordering, but I felt the pain. read more

I have been here 3-4 times (twice at this location and a couple times at their other locations). The food has always been amazing with great, cleanly restaurant and good service. I purchased a gift card so I have been a repeat customer for a while. Most recently, I came around 1:30 PM right before they closed for dinner. There was one other party seated. I was prepared to be turned away , but they informed me politely that the kitchen would close at 1:45, so we ordered our food. Everything came out super fast, and great taste. We ordered the rice cake with brown sugar, cucumbers, street food potato strips, steamed pork ribs with rice flour, bean jelly noodles and wontons in chili oil. As well as a bowl of rice. They served us iced water upon arriving and our food all came out within 20 minutes. The taste of all dishes is exceptional. Some highlights is the potato strips which were very well seasoned and crispy. The steamed pork ribs in rice flour are also a favorite repeat order, with the pork being so tender it falls off the bone. The bean jelly and wontons are great too. They also have lots of deals if you add them in Wechat or posted on posters outside. One of my favorite places to eat in Alhambra and in their other locations too. Parking is convenient and free with a dedicated lot. read more

I have been having their food for several years but never been to this location. Yesterday was the first time I took my family and friend to experience this authentic dish. But I am quite disappointed in the flavor. My dry pot beef got some king oyster mushrooms that were not fresh. And sour. My stomach is still not feeling great at this point. Kung pao chicken were more sticky than usual... I am really not a fan... Mini lamb skewer was really good though. It took us some time to hunt down someone to get the check, after we paid no one helped us to get a box for packing up the left over. My friend went to get the box on his own.
