Omg yes!!! Delicious Sichuan food! First of all, the service was fantastic and the staff were very accommodating! I really appreciate how kind the staff were when our family dined here. It's a casual place, very homey and cozy. Def suits the home cooked style meal served here! We came during their summer combo special! And Man! what a steal! For all of the delicious food we had, it was an unbelievable deal! My favorite was the Boiled fish and the Sichuan fries! I can come here for everyday! Check them out!! read more

Came here for the last day of Dine LA. Wanted to check it out since this place is Michelin Bib Gourmand! The Alhambra location specifically is the bib gourmand. And the Alhambra location's Dine LA set was $72, the cost is slightly different based on location. We joined the waitlist via Yelp ahead of time. Long lines on a Friday night, and since it was the last day of Dine LA. Impressive dumplings 7/10: boiled well, good texture of the wrappers. The filling seemed to be only pork, no veggies, which would have been nice if there was more flavor from vegetables. The sauce was mildly spicy and mildly numbing, slight sesame flavor. String beans 8/10: wok hei flavor and savory. Could have had more garlic flavor and crispier texture of the beans. Din tai fung beans are still #1 for me! Mini lamb skewer 7/10: strong cumin flavor which I liked. The lamb was a bit dry/lean, could've used some pieces with more fat Boiled fish in pickled vegetable 8/10: fish cooked well, flaky and soft. Sour soup was balanced. Vermicelli inside Fried rice 9/10: yummy wok hei flavor Not included in Dine LA deal: Shredded potato 7.5/10: good texture of the potato, not overcooked or undercooked. We ordered the sour/vinegar flavor, it came out smelling vinegary, but didn't have much vinegar taste, mostly spicy. Definitely Sichuan style leaning Sweet potato taro ball dessert 10/10: free dessert if you follow them on Instagram and DM them (see menu photo I posted). Crispy outside which stayed crispy even as it cooled down. Sweet potato and taro were cooked well, smooth, and strong in flavor, not artificial. Not too sweet. Had a mochi like texture Overall a great deal, generous portions. Definitely could feed 3-4 people for the Dine LA. Free parking structure behind. Would definitely come back for Dine LA if they offer new dishes on the deal! read more

My family and I came back for another Dine LA event. For $72 set menu, we get to pick 5 dishes. We added an appetizer for additional $6.99. We had the following dishes: (1) appetizer: cold cucumbers (3/5 stars). They were okay. Nothing special about this dish. It was spicy. (2) fried chicken wings (5/5 stars). These were delicious. One order comes with 5 pieces. (3) Kung Pao chicken (5/5 stars). Fried boneless chicken chunks served with celery, bell peppers and lots of chili peppers. Don't eat the chili peppers if you don't or can't eat spicy food. It wasn't too spicy if you don't eat the chili. I had asked for mild. (4) green beans: (4/5 stars). These green beans are fried. It has a nice taste but it was a bit too greasy. (5) tea smoked ribs: (3/5 stars). This dish looks better than it tastes. The meat was dry. I will have to remember not to order this dish again. (6) cold noodles in chili sauce (4/5 stars). This dish was good. It's a little bit too spicy for me but everyone liked it. Server was friendly. The restaurant was very busy. Come early if you don't like long waitlist. read more

I had a mediocre experience at Sichuan Impression (Alhambra). My family and I tried their Dine LA Summer Menu ($72 - feeds 3 to 4 guests). We selected the Wontons in Chili Oil, Original Kung Pao Chicken, Stir-Fried Angus Ribeye with Scallions, and Home-Style Fried Rice. It all tastes cheap, mushy, or over-sweetened. UGH! It's not awful, but this food currently does not deserve a Michelin Guide label. Rather, this place tastes like Panda Express but with slightly better ingredients. I arrived at Sichuan Impression (Alhambra) on Thursday (around 6PM). Parking is easy because it touches a customer parking garage. Parking sign says, "Authorized Parking for Our Customers & Guests Only - 2 Hour Limit." Upon arrival, there's a crowd of people eager for the Dine LA promotion. There's an electronic waitlist. We waited about 25 minutes before being seated. Staff is rushed and lackluster. Staff is frantically stretched thin, and Staff barely interacts with customers. The service is similar to ordering bad McDonalds at the counter; Staff is indifferent and impersonal. It all felt like a marathon or sprint, as Staff plops the food on the table before running to the next table. Messy dishes pushed onto the table before hurrying away. Staff rushed everyone to order, and Staff almost never checked up on the table until the very end when the "tip option" appeared. As mentioned the family chose the Dine LA Summer Menu ($72). The Wontons in Chili Oil had a delicate, bouncy wrapping (covered in addictive spicy sauce) but the filling was shriveled and small. The Original Kung Pao Chicken tasted sugary like Orange Chicken; it felt like an attempt to hide the dry taste of its chicken. The Stir-Fried Angus Ribeye with Scallions tasted mushy and bland as if a premade bowl had been sitting out for a long time; this tasted like above average buffet food. And the Home-Style Fried Rice is hot and squishy like clay. This rice isn't fluffy and flavorful; rather, it tasted smashed together and wet. This was a BAD showcase of their talents. The food looked somewhat picturesque, but it all tasted rushed and frugal. On ambiance, Sichuan Impression (Alhambra) felt loud, crowded, and plain. The place appears clean, but it was not a memorable spot. At most, it looks like a spruced up cafeteria. Overall, Sichuan Impression (Alhambra) left a poor impression. This business couldn't handle the large crowds, and the mediocre quality/results felt very apparent. This place is not bad, but it's also not great. 3.3 out of 5 read more

Came here with some friends and had a really enjoyable meal. We tried a variety of dishes and there wasn't anything that disappointed. The cold noodles were refreshing and had a nice firm texture, making them a great starter. The qiao jiao beef stood out with its rich beef bone broth, and both the beef and radish were incredibly tender. The shredded potatoes with vinegar and chilies had a satisfying crunch and a nice kick without being overwhelming. One of my favorite dishes was the tea smoked pork ribs. They were fall-off-the-bone tender and the crispy garlic on top added a lot of flavor and texture. The kung pao chicken was another standout. The chicken pieces were meaty and the sauce had a sweet and savory flavor that actually reminded me of sweet and sour pork, which I really enjoyed. Overall, a solid spot with flavorful dishes and a good variety of textures across the menu. Definitely worth checking out if you're craving Sichuan food in the area. read more

Sichuan Impression - Szechuan Near Me - Alhambra, California

Favorites were fries, string beans,chicken, pork jowl. Fries were really crunchy, string beans has flavor and garlic. Chicken was probably number 1 on my list. It wasn't overly spicy, kinda reminds me of zindrew og sauce. Pork jowl was interesting. You eat it as a wrap and add pineapple sauce. Alot of these items we ordered no spicy so that they will have spicy on the side. Since we had a few who doesn't like spicy. I dont think they ever brought us spicy on the side but its okay since we had some spicy dishes as well. Mapo tofu was flavorful but very numbing. I couldnt even tell the lamb eas gamey because my mouth was numb. Which is good because i usually cant handle gameyness. Not really a fan or their taro dessert with the mochi. It was too liquidy for me. 3.5 stars read more

Located in a plaza in Tustin, there is ample parking. There was also no wait on a Wednesday afternoon. The restaurant itself is clean and organized. The waiters don't check up on you but it's a Chinese restaurant so oh well. Their food though, now it's a banger. You have to get basically one of everything. The impressive noodles were quite impressive and the tea smoked ribs blew my mind. read more

Sichuan Impression serves some of the most authentic Sichuan cuisine in Los Angeles. I've visited this restaurant many times over the years, and one of my all-time favorites was the Bobo Chicken (钵钵鸡). Unfortunately, it is no longer on the menu. I really wish they would bring it back because it was one of the restaurant's signature dishes and a favorite among many customers. During this visit, I ordered the sliced pork and the jelly noodles. The sliced pork was incredibly tender, with a clean, fresh flavor that let the ingredients' quality shine. The jelly noodles were refreshing, spicy, and full of bold Sichuan flavors. The combination of heat, seasoning, and texture was simply delicious. The dessert was also surprisingly good. It reminded me of mochi, topped with puffed rice that added a pleasant crunch and contrast to the soft, chewy texture. If you're looking for authentic Sichuan food in Los Angeles, I highly recommend Sichuan Impression. The flavors are genuine, the dishes are consistently well prepared, and it's a place you really can't go wrong with. read more

Had been hearing high reviews about this place, and enjoyed our dinner here. I enjoyed the stir-fried lamb with cumin the best of our selection. The food was good but I found it to be pretty standard, not too sure what makes it special enough to be Michelin recommended. Ordering is done via QR code, for some dishes you are able to specify spice level, and keep in mind you have to pay for rice by the bowl. Service seemed variable - I noticed servers for other tables carefully taking food away from the table to pack it at the back counter, but for us our server packed our food right at the table, subjecting us to splashes from the pouring. read more

Really delicious chinese restaurant! Never heard of this place and tried it out based on high yelp reviews. Located on Main Street in Alhambra, there's tons of delicious restaurants like Sichuan impression. Parking was simple, the parking structure is in the same building as the restaurant. To order your food, you scan the QR code at your table and order everything through your phone.I honestly would love to get a physical menu with photos and an employee taking my order. I would like human interaction. Ordered the stir fry dry green beans, tea smoked pork ribs, wonton in chili oil, and beef noodle soup. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious! I would reorder everything! The pork ribs were perfect texture and flavor! Interior is beautiful, food is delicious and looks beautiful as well. Staff was very friendly although not so attentive. I would definitely come back! read more

Service was okay. A little slow Took a little bit of time to get seated. Seemed maybe understaffed. Food came out okay. Good portions, authentic, just the right amount of spice and it's a very spacious restaurant. With tons of parking spots so that's nice. I like the modern feel they have it definitely makes them a little different than other Sichuan restaurants here in Rowland heights. They do serve alcohol Have a drink menu as well. read more

The flavors were good, but unfortunately, both my colleague and I experienced severe stomach issues the next day. I had to use the bathroom so frequently that I was unable to go to work and ended up taking a full day off. Given that this happened to both of us after eating here, I'm concerned about the food handling and cleanliness. The food may have tasted good, but getting sick enough to miss work is not something I would expect or accept from a restaurant. Would not recommend. 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

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

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.

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

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

I used to visit here frequently and then somehow i forgot about this restaurant for a long time, then now i ordered here again. I ordered cauliflower+pork lard, fried rice, and some beef dishes. I barely saw any pork in cauliflower+pork lard dish so i even called them to confirm. I realized there were some tiny small pieces, but honestly i could even count the 'tiny pieces of lard' with my fingers. I was quite annoyed by that, but........... their dishes were annoyingly superb. I cannot complain at all with the flavor. Tiny lard bothered me a lot then all those dishes were super tasty and made me forgot why i was upset. I have to say, this would be top2 chinese restaurants in Alhambra. It is not my first time to order here, and this time i felt even better. All the dishes i ordered were too good. read more

Wow. Just wow. Some of the most authentic cuisine I've had. We catered for a small dinner party and ordered for pick up/ to go. Everything was delicious. We ordered the Cold noodles, original Kung Pao chicken, mini lamb skewers, wontons in chili oil, string beans, rice and some other things. Each bite was better than the next. Cold noodles and wontons were my favorite. Noodles were impressive indeed. So flavorful. Lamb skewers had a nice little kick to them. So glad I got to try this place! Would love to check it out again when in town 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

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

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).

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

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

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

Fried chicken wings are tasty but a bit salty. Sliced beef in chili sauce was solid. Mini lamb skewers aren't worth the price. Skip the eggplant in chili sauce. Rice tasted undercooked. The fish in pickled vegetable soup, I'm almost certain, came straight out of a ready-to-eat meal kit. But what really got me is first time in the US I've been to a restaurant that doesn't refill chips. Come on. Seriously? Feels like the classic story of a place getting popular and stopping to care about its customers. read more

Great location with 2 hour parking on ground level. The service was excellent with bright interior dinning area. Indoor seatings only. Be mindful, the food could be very spicy. The food was served within timely manners and the portion was perfect. As a Michelin level restaurant, I would give a 4 out of 5 star for its food. As a Yelper, id give it a 4.8 out of 5. read more

Sichuan Impression - Recommended, great service! - Szechuan Near Me - Alhambra, California

This is now my second time coming to Sichuan Impression for the Dine LA experience and they are so consistent when it comes to food taste and quality, great service, and amazing ambiance. The dishes are sooo comforting and wholesome. I genuinely enjoyed every single dish we ordered, which is a hard feat at any restaurant! My favorite dishes of the night have to be the Mapo Tofu and the Tea Smoked Ribs, but I guarantee everything here is worth trying. As for the dessert, I've had the Fried Sweet Potato Balls with Taro both times and each time I was surprised by how tasty they are! The outside is nice and crispy while the inside is warm with such a great texture. This was my first time trying the Fried Rice Cakes covered in brown sugar and that was surprisingly my favorite of the two desserts. So warm, soft, and chewy in the best way. I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. read more

I haven't been to Sichuan Impression for a long while. In my "impression" the food is for people who don't really eat spicy food. But, I'm WRONG. They've changed and do offer multiple authentic Sichuan flavors for customers. I like the pork ribs and pork kidney a lot. The fried rice is also on point that night. Do not miss the dessert when you go - A must order to enjoy the fried mochi ball with sweet potatoes and taro inside. Service is average and staff is attentive and friendly. Ambiance is western style, elegant and chilled. 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
