The service was good. You'll just have to flag them if you need something. They were all helpful and nice. Food wise - everything we ordered was great. The cumin lamb was flavorful and spicy. The Mao Cai was spicy, full of meat and the broth was tasty. The boiled fish was my second favorite - spicy and fish was not overcooked. The fried intestines were really great! The shrimp fried rice is ok. I wanted either a whole fish or a whole crab but they ran out - on a Saturday night. They have a good Asian beer selection. $35 for corkage. $6 valet parking with validation. Free for 1 hour only with validation. It's a very casual place. Clean. read more

My fav: wontons in chili oil, tea smoked pork ribs -- phenomenal, and my best pick so far is Leshan's Qiaojiao beef soup -- especially very comforting on a chil winter day I prefer the Alhambra's location over this Westwood one, because it looks more modern, with a vibrant design and a cozy vibe. It also appeared to me that the food tasted slightly better at the Alhambra location, but that may very well have been my bias. The restaurant workers looked more organized vs this location that has more of a traditional Chinese vibe, slightly tired building, not particularly clean, service feels a bit rushed and sloppy. We went there for Thanksgiving Dinner and it wasn't packed but we went at the opening time and the people kept coming. 90% looked Chinese which also speaks for the authenticity. read more

Good food but a bit pricey. We got: - Mapo tofu - Fried Rice - Dry Beef Noodles - Vegetable Sprouts The food was generally fine, but it's expensive and the quantity isn't huge either unlike other Chinese places you go to. The service was fine but the ambience and everything is not super premium. It gives off hole in the wall vibes but the prices don't. read more

My friends and I visited Sichuan Impression on Chinese New Year and were impressed by the food and quality of service! When we got there, the restaurant was booked full, but they opened up the outdoor seating section and brought out heaters to accommodate more guests. Since it had just stopped raining, the staff wiped all of the tables and chairs for us. Food wise, everything tasted great, but portion sizes were on the small side. My favorite dishes were the Toothpick Lamb/Mutton and Chicken in Chili Oil appetizer. Overall, great experience and would visit again! read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now. I wanted to try the Alhambra location (the OG) but opted for this one because it's closer to me and they took reservations. Made reservations for a chilly February evening at 7:30 pm during Dine LA week. The parking lot was valet at this time but we were able to find street parking. Meters ended at 8 pm. The restaurant is on the left of the plaza up the stairs. They had a decently sized area inside and patio seating. Inside was loud because of a large UCLA event happening so we opted to sit outside since they had every one of their heaters on. There were so many Chinese people which I was pleased with. The woman who sat us just gave us her ordering tablet so we were able to choose and walked away. That didn't allow me to ask questions but I knew what most things were and double checked images on Yelp. Maybe they'd help you if you clearly were not Chinese or if the restaurant isn't too busy. The Dine LA Menu included 5 courses and each course you could choose from a variety of 4-5 options. The price was $78 and stated it would feed 3-4 people. For my boyfriend and I, I chose the Couple's Sliced Beef in Chili Sauce, Street Corner Potato Strips (Spicy), Toothpick Lamb (Spicy), Boiled Fish with Rattan Pepper (Mild Spicy on accident), and Impressive Cold Noodle. The food was ready within 10 minutes and came out all at once! Honestly, everything was delicious and full of flavor. The sliced beef is served cold on a bed of green onion, cilantro, and celery with an oily sauce. This was delicious. The Chinese celery really made the dish, adding a pungent taste, while the rest of the greens and peanuts added crunchy texture. I was a bit disappointed by the potato strips. I thought they would be really crispy but they had no crunch and were pretty soft, like potato smileys. The flavor was good and the quantity was a lot but I wouldn't get it again unless other people wanted it. The toothpick lamb was delicious and more crispy than expected. While a bit tough on the outside, it was super juicy and bouncy inside. There was a strong cumin flavor which was so yummy! This was my second favorite dish of the night. I accidentally ordered the boiled fish mild but it turned out okay because everything else was spicy and this was a good break for my boyfriend. However, it was still very numbing. This was my favorite dish overall and would get it every time. The broth was so delicious, I couldn't stop sipping it even though my mouth was so tingly! There was so much super tender fish. My boyfriend is a big fan of Sichuan cold noodles so this was his favorite overall. I also enjoyed it a lot. Vinegary and spicy, it really hit the spot. An outstanding experience and exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be coming again and bringing my family or anyone who enjoys spicy food. There was a good variety of cold and hot items and a good range of spice. Personally, I would only come during cooler times or else I'd be pretty sweaty! Maybe this can be offset with more cold dishes lol. Highly recommend. read more

Came here for a family dinner on a very last minute reservation and they were able to fortunately able to accommodate us. They seated us in a room separated by sliding doors so it gave a little sense of privacy which was a great bonus. Hats off to their superb service. The staff were very helpful with navigating through the various menu items which is available to order via QR code or the tablet provided. As for the food, there were some delicious items coming out of that kitchen. The highlights were the BBQ duck and Tea Smoked Ribs with their very tender and juicy cuts of meat. Delicious. The other items were very solid as well. The Mapo Tofu, Beef with Scallions, Garlic String Beans, Home-style Fried Rice and Impressive Dumplings were also winners for the night. All so tasty with the savoriness (with some balanced with spicy or sweet depending on the dish) that's expected with this cuisine. This place is located on the second floor in a plaza with not too many parking spaces but there are available street parking nearby. read more

I really love Sichuan food because I like the mala/numbing flavors, and this place did not disappoint! We got the: Impressive Cold Noodles Home Style Fried Rice with Beef Mapo Tofu Boiled Fish Filets with Rattan Pepper Tea Smoked Pork Ribs Fried Rice Cake with Brown Sugar School Yard Ice Jelly Honestly every dish we got was really tasty! Everything was flavorful and was well balanced, especially the boiled fish filets, fried rice, and tea smoked pork ribs which were my favorite! The Mapo tofu had a good flavor but was just a bit too salty for my liking. I want to come back to try more of their spicier foods, since nothing was really THAT spicy in my opinion which was a tad disappointing. It's a great spot for Chinese food, and especially if you haven't tried Sichuan cuisine! Highly recommend stopping by! read more

Came here with a large group of friends after an event since someone in the group recommended it. The restaurant is on the second floor and has a pretty standard setup and ambience. Fortunately, they had two large tables available that could accommodate our group of over fifteen people, which was a nice surprise given how last-minute our visit was. Service was decent overall. Nothing stood out, but the staff managed our big group well and kept things organized. The food did take a while to come out, but that's understandable considering how many of us were ordering at once. I ordered the beef soup with no spice (forgot the exact name), and it was good -- flavorful and hearty without being overwhelming. Everyone at the table seemed to enjoy what they got, and the portions were fair for the price. Overall, a solid experience. Nothing particularly exceptional, but also nothing to complain about. A good spot for sharing dishes with a group, especially if you're into Sichuan-style food and don't mind a bit of a wait when it's busy. read more

Food is great, staff seems nice. The seated me by the window right away, which I loved. The restaurant seems clean, but you Oder on an iPad, so very low touch customer service. I also never got a refill on my water while there. They were still kind and helpful when I called them over, just not super attentive by the way it is setup. Order: Boiled Fish with Rattan Pepper, Chicken Fried Rice and Sweet Potato Ball with Taro. The fried rice was...stellar . I am a fried rice type of person...and this ranks with some of the best fried rice I've had. It is definitely on the oily side and the salty side, which I don't mind in my Chinese food. Highly recommend. Now, about their most popular dish. Gosh, I like boiled fish, but it was waaaaay to spicy for me. And I asked for "less spice". You have to love spice to handle this. I get jalapeños in my nachos, that is about my personal spice tolerance. This was uncomfortable for me. The fish was tender and good, just could not get past the heat. I recommend the other boiled fish dishes if you are in the mood. They have one called refreshing fish, which has pumpkin in it. The dish I wish I ordered instead of the spicy boiled fish, is the Toothpick Lamb. I will be back to try this...with another order of fried rice Lastly, the sweet potato ball was very interesting. Tasty, crispy outside and soft inside. Sweet, Not too sweet. The taro filling texture was like softer mochi, with a slightly grainier finish...like red bean paste. I would order again, but only in a group. I did t want more than 1 and the order comes with 5. read more

What We Ordered: -Mama's Handmade Noodle $15.99 -Fish Fillet with Pickled Vegetable Soup (Mild Spicy) $25.99 -3 Steamed Rice $6.00 Our little one was playing at Aidan's Place at Westwood Recreation Center. My wife was "hangry" and needed to eat quickly. She craved Chinese food, but I had my doubts about West LA's offerings compared to the SGV. We decided to try Sichuan Impression. We arrived towards the end of lunch service. The Mama's Homemade Noodle was okay for our child, nothing special. However, the Fish Fillet with Pickled Vegetable Soup (Mild Spicy) was a winner! It had a nice level of spice without being too much, and the fish was flaky and delicious. I highly recommend this dish. The service was a bit slow, and we had to ask for water refills. Overall, we wouldn't rush back, but we'd definitely return if we're in the Westside and craving spicy fish. read more

Food: 4.3/5 Ambiance: 4.6/5 Value 4.3/5 A nice spacious restaurant that offers comfortable seating arrangements for groups large and small. They only offer valet parking but there's definitely opportunity for free street parking nearby, which is what we did. For 2 people, we got the Couple's Sliced Beef in Chili Sauce, Stir-Fried Lamb with Cumin, and stir-fried string beans. All of these dishes were yummy but I do wish they made some small changes to make them better The string beans were unfortunately quite salty, but lightly fried well. It had to be paired with rice or was not quite edible. I wish the stir-fried lamb with cumin actually had cumin that was more prominent like the toothpick lamb does. However, I appreciated how much meat there was for the portion. The sliced beef was great! Would love the opportunity to get half the portion for half the cost but alas, now I'm just being picky. If you're looking for Sichuan food on the west side, this is a great option. Of course, I don't think it's quite comparable to the SGV, but for those who live closer to this, it's a great second option. read more

I agree with Mina K. I have dined at Sichuan Impression before and this time it was disappointing. We order boiled fish with rattan peppers and spicy beef rice noodle. Both dishes were very numbing and one dimensional. In fact, the soup base for both dishes were exactly the same. I didn't taste the complexity and layered flavors of Sichuan cuisine. read more

Bottom line : fantastic Kung pao chicken -- probably the best . Horrible service. The server didn't care one iota about me. Lunch special is missing :( The Kung pao chicken's sauce is finger licking good . It's not the coagulated like any of the more casual/fast food option, but has an insanely good flavorful gravy. For the price -- $19.99 and no lunch special, I was however expecting a moderately bigger portion size. For those who enjoy the thrill of spice, I'd highly recommend you go 'mild.' It's spicy as is. You're gonna have to have a much larger tolerance for 'spicy' as its level of spice is relatively way above the spicy level which I'm accustomed to at other restaurants ! The service was absolute trash. Waiter mandated I order via a tablet similar to a kiosk at a grocery store. When checking out , it automatically bumped up the bill by adding rice which I didnt want. Upon editing my order , at checkout it bumped my Kung pao chicken up to 2x. A bit confusing. Server didn't check up on me one at any time during my visit. Since the food is spicy, I was expecting my water glass to be refilled appropriately . At the very least, the server could have provided me a bottle to self-serve. However that was too much to ask. 3/5 read more

Sichuan Impression - Szechuan Near Me - Los Angeles, California

What happened? Has the owner/chef changed?!? This place has completely gone downhill :( We've been loyal customers of Sichuan Impressions for many, many years. We've eaten at the West LA location once but mostly use Postmates. Being on the Westside, we don't have a lot of good, genuine Chinese options and Sichuan Impression has always been our go-to unless we're wiling to drive to SGV for 1+ hour. A few months ago, we noticed some inconsistencies with the order. Kung Pao chicken came with no peanuts. We told ourselves "maybe the kitchen was having a bad day" and gave them another shot a few weeks later. The next time we ordered Kung Pao chicken, peanuts were included but the dish had ZERO flavor. As anyone who knows and appreciates Sichuan cuisine, the last thing you would describe their dishes as bland; this Kung Pao had the right appearance, but completely lacked the proper flavor. We were disappointed but still let it go - it would've been easier for us to complain if we were dining in but just seemed pointless being that this was a Postmates order. A few months have passed and we decided to give them another chance, hoping the last two times were an outlier, a bad day in the kitchen. We were wrong. Tonight's order consisted of Egg & Shrimp, Mapo Tofu, and Twice cooked pork. The best dish out of the three was the Egg & Shrimp, which was edible but completely overcooked. The Mapo Tofu was so mild in flavor, it was as if they'd forgotten to add salt. The Twice cooked pork was also VERY light in flavor - they didn't even bother stir-frying the pork belly long enough that most of the pieces were stuck together with zero spices / flavor. Super disappointed and sad that we'll never be ordering from here again. read more

Popular go-to spot for authentic, spicy Sichuan cuisine. Service was great for a busy Friday night. The quality is on point. Extensive menu reflects true Sichuan flavors. Loved the menu variety and comfortable atmosphere. This is one of the best Sichuan spots outside of the San Gabriel Valley. Standouts include wontons in chili oil, boiled fish (like with rattan pepper), chili fried chicken, cumin lamb, mapo tofu, green beans with minced beef, and toothpick lamb/mutton. The numbing spice is great for fans of mala. Shareable dishes make it ideal for big groups. Portions however could feel smaller or pricey for some. Plenty of valet or curbside parking available and close to sawtelle japan town for desserts after. read more

Keeping this super short for now since I am reaching out to the management about its "tricky" tip practice. Its 15% suggested tip was calculated to be like 23% and 18% suggested was calculated to be like 28%. If the management doesn't respond and changes its way then this is being reported to the consumers bureau. Funny thing is that I just received a consumers bureau check from another business' tricky practice. Just browse through other reviews and pics and you will find that they've been doing this for quite some time now. As for the foods, they were authentic and tasty. The service was a hit and miss. On the hit we left a 35% tip because of its tricky practice but on the miss we left a 25% tip. Really? read more

I love Sichuan food with its bold and complex flavors. But that bold taste can sometimes be too overpowering, throwing the balance off or masking the dish's inadequacies. Unlike most other Sichuan restaurants, I find the food at Sichuan Impression clean and balanced. They use better-quality ingredients and can balance the different flavors into a coherent taste. Toothpick Mutton - 4/5. Cumin-flavored mutton chunks skewered with toothpicks are dry stir-fried with chillies and then sprinkled with more seasoned cilantro. The flavors are flavorful but not overwhelming. This is one of their better dishes. You must try it. Boiled Fish Fillets with Chili Sauce - 3.5/5. Nothing outstanding. It wasn't too oily, and there's a decent balance of flavors. The fish was velvety and cooked just right. read more

Sichuan Impression - Home-Style Fried Rice with Beef - Szechuan Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The food is tasty, though the normal spice levels here are somewhat milder than the food served at their Alhambra location. Food and beverages are ordered off the tablet. What's available may depend as to when you go. Some dishes like the Dungeness Crab or Le Shan skewered meats and vegetables, as well as the tea smoked duck weren't available the night of our dinner. Only one negative, and it's the order your dishes arrive and how fast they arrive. The kitchen may have 2 or 3 wok stations, so whichever chef whips up a dish on your order first, then that will be the first to arrive at the table. So our appetizers came out half way through the service of our dishes. In addition, after 20 minutes, all 11 of dishes arrived at the table, so prepare to watch quickly, or stagger the ordering of the food so that not all the dishes arrive within minutes of each other. read more

Solid, spicy authentic tasting Sichuan food. Had parents in town craving more authentic Chinese food, preferably spicy. We recalled a recommendation for Sichuan Impression and gave it a try and glad we did. We ordered spicy wontons, fried rice, spicy fish 水煮魚, and some sort of ribs dish (just alright, but I think I just don't care for the dish and not the fault of restaurant). My main criteria is off the spicy fish 水煮魚 but it was exactly what I was expecting and very happy with the portion size. Nice and spicy flavor that also differed slightly than the spicy wontons, which I think is good and that they don't just use one generic spicy oil sauce for all the spicy dishes. Didn't dine in to try service or ambiance, but I'm happy with Sichuan Impression for the tasty food convenience/delivery option. read more

Came down here from SF looking for a good meal. Sichuan impression is a well known restaurant for spicy food, so we chose here. However the food was very disappointing. We ordered 5 dishes and they came out within 5-10 minutes which means they dont cook the food right there but pre-cooked/prepared. All the dishes were very salty, and they ate too salty we couldn't finish it. The toothpick mutton has no toothpick?? Also, the lamb is a big chunk, its not a small cubic bite. The beef we ordered was spoiled and the owner just took it away without any apology. We left with empty stomaches and very disappointed. I would not recommend this place... read more

I love this place!! So delicious and reminds me of when I lived in sichuan. Sooo good! I wish it was spicier, personal preference but so so so good! Service isn't anything amazing, it's just a regular Chinese spot but so good! Ambiance, very relaxed, kind of a hip Chinese spot with a slight "loud" top 100 music vibe. Would definitely go again! We didn't even take photos because it smelled so good and we ate it all. read more

came here awhile back for chinese new year! personally, i'm not the biggest fan of sichuan spice because of how numbing it is, but if it wasn't for that, i'd say the flavors were actually really solid. my favorites were the intestines and the fish soup although drinking the soup lowkey felt like electricity in my mouth because of the whole peppercorns. the toothpick lamb was tasty too! just a heads up: it's a little gamy, but i grew up eating lamb so i didn't mind it at all. even though it was a busy night, the food came out relatively quick but we did order while we were waiting for our seat. MINUS STARS BECAUSE OF THE VALET! someone seriously needs to check them because they tried to trick us into paying the maximum rate even though we were only there for like 1.5 hours. i was fine with paying the maximum rate but it was just their attitude about everything that was so unprofessional and rude. shame on them!! read more

I had come here once before and gotten the mapo tofu, the toothpick lamb and the impressive dumplings. All those things were really tasty but they kind of all had a similar flavor profile so I left feeling underwhelmed. This time however! Omg. Every dish we got was better than the last. There was a perfect amount of numbing Sichuan peppercorn from the chicken, smokiness from the sauce on the wontons, the pungent broth paired perfectly with the delicate white fish and vermicelli noodles to soak up all that flavor. And then a brightness from the pickles (which aren't the usual flavor profile for the pickles I'm used to with Asian food but really grew on me), plus the bamboo shoots had the perfect texture and crunch and spiciness that kept the meal super refreshing. I swear I was just straight up munching for over an hour, all the textures and flavors complimented each other so well. And the flavors got even deeper as the meal went on, I swear the food tasted better by the last few bites! And still had some yummy leftovers for the next day cuz their portions are hefty. Also the staff were so sweet, they all were attentive and kind plus they sang to my friend whose bday it was and gave us a nice little rice cake dessert. Excited to come back!! read more

I was really excited to try this place, knowing full well that most of their menu would probably be too much for my spice palette. Luckily they had a very extensive menu to choose from! Overall, I'd have to give it a solid 3+ stars as I had higher expectations, considering all the recognition this place has gotten. We were pretty adventurous and ordered the diced rabbit in chili sauce and the frog with pickled pepper. They were both spicy, as expected. What bothered me was how the the diced rabbit was prepared. They really didn't take the time to debone the rabbit before dicing it, so I spent more time trying to pick out the little bones and keeping from choking than actually eating the entree. The frog was tasty but a little on the dry side. My favorite item was probably the simplest item we ordered...mustard leaf tofu soup, simply warmed the soul. The tea smoke duck and the wonton in chili oil were both decent as well, but nothing spectacular compared to other places I've tried. The dessert we ordered was unique and fun...cinderella's pumpkin rides, which was a dense mix of pumpkin, red bean, and sesame. We thought it would go better with a side of ice cream (which they didn't have) so we ordered some black sesame coconut pudding (which they did have). It created a nice balance which we liked better. The restaurant is located on the second floor in a small shopping plaza with a limited parking lot that is managed by a valet service. Pay with cash or zelle only, no credit cards. read more
