    Spicy fried intestine
    Tania T.

    I was craving deep-fried intestines, and after making so many calls to local Chinese restaurants, I came across Sichuan Impression, which actually had the spicy fried intestines! I was so excited to try it that I ordered the food for pickup, and it was nearly ready when I arrived. The place was well decorated, and the wait staff were all friendly. I enjoyed the food almost immediately after getting it. This restaurant really lives up to its name. The fried intestines were crispy, spicy, and definitely numbed my tongue. The celery pieces helped balance out the spices.

    $78 for 5 dishes in August of "Dine LA" is really good value for a meal. In my experience, a restaurant review system has 4 levels: Bad, Good, Nice, and Wonderful. · Bad = I'd never go back. · Good = It's fine, but nothing I'd miss. · Nice = Better than good -- I'd return someday. · Wonderful = Everything is excellent -- I'd love to come often. This one? Nice.

    The mapo tofu here is seriously top tier and my fave! It's rich, flavorful, and perfectly numbing with that signature Sichuan spice especially with a bowl of rice! We also loved the Impressive Cold Noodles which were really addicting. We ordered the mild version and it was the perfect balance to complement the stronger, numbing flavors from the other dishes. It still had plenty of flavor without being overwhelming. One dish that kinda threw me off was the Couple's Sliced Beef. Since it's served cold, the texture of the beef felt a bit firmer and hard, and less tender than I personally prefer or expected. Overall, this is a place I can see myself coming back to multiple times a year. The flavors are bold and numbing (how it should be), the portions are generous for the price, and the whole meal just feels warm, satisfying, and comforting! This spot does get busy so make sure to check in on the waitlist ahead of time!

    After late-night swim practice, the kids specifically asked for Jincheng, so we headed straight to the Tustin location. Turns out they're running a promotion right now -- talk about perfect timing They're offering a 5 full-size signature dish combo for just $78, plus three add-on dishes you can choose from. Promotion runs from 1/23-2/6 (only 15 days -- miss it and you'll have to wait another half year!) Their Sichuan food is very authentic -- no surprise since they've been Michelin-recommended for seven consecutive years. That said, it's not just spicy food here. They also have plenty of non-spicy, kid-friendly options, which makes it great for families. If you're planning a meal with family or friends, now's the time -- grab a table while the deal lasts! Don't wait until it's over and regret it later. Bonus: you can also get a free taro & sweet potato ball dessert

    This place is so good! This was my second visit, and it definitely didn't disappoint. We came for dinner on a Saturday, put our names on the waitlist, and ended up waiting about 20 minutes. We ordered the mapo tofu (my personal favorite), fish fillet with pickled vegetable soup, stir-fried chili chicken, and dry-fried string beans. We went with a mild spice level, which was perfect for us, but if you're more sensitive to spice I'd recommend going one level lower. Overall, it's a solid spot for Sichuan food, and I would definitely come back.

    Intestine Noodle of Shuangliu ($12.99) takeout. 12/13/2025

    It's hard for me to stray from my usual Sichuan spot, but Sichuan Impression offers some unique dishes that made m want to try, and I'm so glad I did. Here's what I ordered for takeout: Boiled Fish with Rattan Pepper ($23.99), Tea Smoked Pork Rib ($27.99), A-Choy Taiwanese Lettuce with Garlic ($13.99), Tender Bamboo Shoots in Chili Sauce ($9.99), Mini Lamb Skewer ($22.99), and Intestine Noodle of Shuangliu ($12.99). Every dish was flavorful and delicious. The Tea Smoked Pork Rib was a bit pricey for what it is, but it was still tasty and I'm glad I tried it. Everything was packed very well, and ordering over the phone saves you some money compared to ordering online through their website. When I arrived, the people who helped me with my order were friendly and efficient. Overall, the prices here are comparable to or slightly less than my usual Sichuan place. There are definitely things this place does very well, and they offer unique dishes that I'd come back for. I do wish they used lived or fresh fish for the Boiled Fish with Rattan Pepper, but for the price, it's still pretty good even with frozen fish fillet.

    Came in a weekday evening for dinner - there was a good amount of customers but no wait. Ordering is easy and through an app, food comes quickly. Our favorite dish was the cold chicken with chili sauce - it was so flavorful and not as spicy as it looks! Chicken was so moist as well. Also really enjoyed the fish in chili sauce - the fish was so tender and melt in your mouth. Spicy wontons were yummy too. Overall ambiance is casual and parking is very easy.

    plum juice
    Willis N.

    Some of the BEST Szechuan food I ever tasted. Restaurant looked liked any casual Chinese dining spot. Service was very quick and standard. The flavors of the food were very bold. My favorite highlights were the chicken with green Szechuan sauce and the street fries in mala seasoning. Everything was ordered in mild but did not sacrifice the mouth numbing aspect one bit. My friends and I had a silly moment trying the plum juice and with a 100% consensus found that it tasted like Carl's Jr bbq sauce lol Cant wait to come back try the other items

    In a nutshell.. we went here looking for peppercorns and medicinal spice.. did we get it? No.. sadly everything was not as spicy and sichuan as we hoped it to be. The service was your typical Asian restaurant where they don't really look at you I. The eye and you can self order.. we did ask for a bowl of rice with a human waiter and they brought it immediately. This restaurant was in a plaza and we were able to get a bottle of water in the bodega within the same plaza. I give this place a 3.5 stars.

    Kung pao chicken
    Melissa O.

    Came in on my own for dinner while in town for a work trip. This is right in my old neighborhood but was not here when I lived here. I wish it had been! Best kung pao I've ever had. This is kung pao done right. I ate the whole plate in one sitting because I just couldn't stop myself. Service was fine. I didn't need it to be more than what it was. And prices are fair. The place is packed and popular. Even as a party of 1 on a Sunday night, I had to wait 30 minutes, so keep that in mind. But I will definitely come back next trip to try the mapo tofu.

    Oooooo I love this place! Sechuan Impression is delicious packing with great flavor and quality. I ordered 5 dishes, that being the Cucumber, cold noodle, stir-fried chicken, fish soup, and the taro rice dessert. The dishes are so flavorful and are definitely made to be shared family style. With these dishes, we even had leftovers to take home! The cold cucumber appetizer is a lightly pickled and salted cucumber that blends well if you wanted a pallet cleanser or just a refreshing bite. It has a slight bit of heat from the chili peppers which is also a great touch. The cold noodle was soo yum and was a surprise to me. I ordered it since it was a popular dish on YELP and I would say order it and let it speak for itself! The stir-fried chicken and soup were a great combination as you can double up on protein! The stir fried chicken has a perfect blend of seasoning and flavors and is most similar to better flavored/seasoned popcorn chicken in my opinion. The fish soup was also awesome and comes in a spicy or non-spicy flavor. For dessert, the taro rice is a simple, yet tasty dessert. The best comparison I could make is like an arroz con leche, but less rice and milk. Still a great refreshing dessert to end the meal! Overall, the experience was great! The staff was nice and quick to service, even helping us pack our leftovers! I will say if you come in the evening try to get yourself on the Yelp waitlist ahead of time so you get seated ahead of time !

    Lamb on Toothpicks, Kong Pao Chicken
    Lani K.

    Solid Sichuan cuisine with some of the best numbing peppercorn dishes around--it keeps me coming back again and again! Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu. My personal favorites are the cauliflower stir-fry, mapo tofu, and kung pao chicken. I'm not from Sichuan, but I've visited a couple of times, and let's just say when I taste authentic food, I know it.

    Mini Lamb Skewer
    Jimmy L.

    I'm still sweating just thinking about my experiences here! My tolerance for spicy is not the greatest, but every time Sichuan Impression has one of their special set menus (which seems to happen at least 2 or 3 times a years), I have to pay a visit. Most recently, in celebration of their 11 year anniversary, they ran a $78 combo (that serves 4-6 people) that allowed you to pick 5 courses. And the best things is that some of these selections include some of their most popular dishes. My absolute faves include: Boiled Fish with Rattan Pepper Stir-Fried Chili Chicken (although I wish their set menu includes the intestine version in addition to the chicken) Mini Lamb Skewer Tender Bamboo Shoots in Chili Sauce For the amount of food you get, it ends up not being a bad deal, especially splits amongst 4+ people. If you're into sichuan food, you can't really go wrong with any of the selections here. But if you're like me and start sweating the moment that first peppercorn hits your mouth, be sure to ask for extra napkins at the beginning!

Our order came out very quickly after the realization. Unfortunately the lemon salmon sushi roll that came out seemed incredibly rushed. The roll wasn't tucked in so each piece we grabbed broke apart. The fried squid legs were good. The udon texture was good, but by the time our food came out, we weren't in the best mood.

Though this location is bigger than the original, I'll be going to the Costa Mesa restaurant for better service.

Picanha Fried Rice (4/5) - The picanha was cooked perfectly and paired really nice with the fried rice. The green sauce definitely complimented the dish overall but I think there could've been a little more seasoning added to the fried rice overall. It was missing some salt or spice (which you can ask for on the side). Beef and Mushroom Rice (3.5/5) - This was a tasty and classic dish but I would suggest getting other dishes. Portion was great though! Shrimp Garlic Noodles (4/5) - The noodles were great, you can really taste the garlic in them but the Parmesan was a little overpowering personally. I wish they used unpeeled shrimp since it caused a little bit of a mess with using hands. The overall dish was good but was missing a little bit of flavor. Definitely tasted better asking for chili oil and their spicy sauce to mix in with it. Filet Mignon Lomo Saltado (4.5/5) - This is one of my favorite dishes at any restaurant so I had to get it here. The seasoning was perfect on the fries, steak, and onions (there was a little too much salt) and all paired well with the rice. Service was great, the restaurant was really clean. Will be back!

    Kinaree eatery is fast, delicious with incredible portions and very exciting decor depending on…read morewhere you sit. Looking over the menu and trying to decide what to order while having only one empty stomach per body.. it almost seems unfair. Even the drink menu was incredibly hard to land on just one drink. This is a well done Asian American fusion eatery, regardless of your lifestyle or diet. The location is prime, so many other delicious looking restaurants all around even if you don't make it in somehow. If you're a cake person, definitely definitely don't short yourself and try their very fluffy, super jiggly soufflé pancake. It's not quite a flapjack and not yet a cake but the makings of everything you'd want in a breakfast dessert with cream that melts even the coldest hearts. The strawberry compote, made with real strawberries, was so yummy and colorful! Everything here was bright and colorful including the coconut yuzu drink. The curry came highly recommended and it not only did not disappoint, instead succeeded what I had in mind. Also- if you are a fried chicken and waffle fan, this is a must try. I was both full and envious of the table in my view of vision who got theirs after having stuffed my face full of amazing eats. Service was great and the staff, as well as the customers, all looked like Irvine's finest, brightest and uncontentious attitudes. Price point is on par with everything else around but you get your money's worth, possibly with leftovers, though not for us. We hated everything so much that nothing was left to pack home (grinning sarcastically).

    First time here and was disappointed when we were handed an AI generated menu lol. What a shame…read morebecause the food was tasty. Anyways, we came here on Saturday around 1pm so I think we beat the rush as we were able to be seated right away. We got the Kinaree Fried Chicken and Khao Soi Rib Eye Steak. - Fried chicken was amazing and I loved the cucumber salad that it came with it. The sticky rice was a little dry and hard tho. - Khao Soi was SO GOOD! Super duper flavorful, big enough portion to split with 2 people.
