Great beef noodle soup as always. The perfect amount of heat. Only complaint would be I wish it had more beef.

Veg noodle, pork!? My friend is Muslim and accidentally ate it, we're both very upset!

We found pork in our vegetable noodles we told the waitress and she said it wasn't meat. She was extremely rude about everything

This is possibly the best food in Houston. It's definitely one of the best authentic Chinese restaurants I've ever had. It's up there with 2 other similar spots in the same plaze (Spicy Hunan and Hunan Bistro), in terms of price it's probably right between the other two (Bistro being the top end), but they're all magnificent, and this might be the best one of all. Located in the best plaza in Houston for food and boba, and possibly the best restaurant in Houston. What I Get: Twin Pepper Chicken, Szechuan Spicy Chicken What's good: Everything I've heard some say the best Sichuan is Mala - that's so false - yeah, if you like Americanized food that also has sugar added. I like Mala, used to go there all the time, it's cheaper, and as it got sweeter and sweeter I tried others and realized Mala is less authentic. It's a good thing I don't trust Yelp reviews, and neither should you. They're real, but it doesn't mean the people writing them are real smart. Chuan. Chuan. Chuan. See? I know how to say chuan. And these guys know how to Say Chuan as well, when it comes to cooking. It's owned by a woman who is a sweetheart, the servers here are great too. Ask for extra spicy if you dare, we always do. They close a bit earlier than 9.30 sometimes, so go as early as you can. You won't go wrong with anything you order here. It's magnificent. So many good dishes! As for which one you should order when you come here... Order the Sich One! Now let's have Katy Perry close out this review. A tiger Don't lose no sleep Don't need opinions From a shellfish or a sheep Don't go elsewhere for Chinese No, not today Your check is calculated You got their number 'Cause you're a Yelper And Barbie's a high price killer queen And this food will numb your ring It'll hurt to poo So keep calm, honey, I'ma stick around For more than a meal, get used to it Funny their Lamb keeps Cumin out your mouth 'Cause they make lots of dishes Lay 'em up like Sich, Sich, bish Another one in your bread basket Can't touch this And you're an idiot if you want Brexit Sich, Sich, bish Another great place in Plano Can't touch this As for the haters, what do they know?

Wonton soup with egg and seaweed.
Kenny E.

This place is super clean, nice quiet ambiance, small and intimate dining setting. Service was also super quick. Food is amazingly GOOD!!! We ordered the crispy chilli diced chicken, fish in hot spicy oil and wonton soup as starter. Every dish is tasty and spicy! They exceeded my expectations! The best sichuan cuisine I have had in a while!

Aleeza A.

Ordered the spicy popcorn chicken and was so yummy and flavorful and spicy. Also the garlic green beans were so good. Also ordered a noodle soup and that was yummy too. If wanting a comfort meal would definitely recommend.

Located in the Dun Huang Plaza in Chinatown, close to all the boba/ dessert places with plenty of parking in the open parking lot and the 2 garages. This place has been my favorite Sichuan style restaurant for years. Exactly how you would imagine a classic no BS mom and pop Chinese restaurant would be, traditional Chinese style interior, friendly but basic level service, complementary Chinese hot tea, and owners kids hanging out in the back. Now the food... somehow this place always hit the spot and reminds me of China. Unlike a lot of the Sichuan restaurants in Houston with fancy plates and fusion twist, this place taste like someone from Sichuan is in the back doing all the cooking for you. Couple of my "must order" each time: Hot and Sour rice noodle -- this is my favorite and my reason to be back at least once a month, no other restaurants in Houston can match the taste Lamb with cumin - the lamb is tender, great flavor with just right level of spicy if you like the cumin taste Stewed Chicken Shank - this is a cold dish, boiled chicken in spicy sauce and chili oil I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to try authentic Sichuan food!

Chinese donuts
Chee Keat F.

We've tried this place only once so far, in May 2023. We ordered dan dan noodles - one of my benchmarks items. The portion was decent, but not exactly large. It tasted ok. There wasn't much of a peanut flavor, and the 'mala' taste was much more pronounced. The rest of the items were that we ordered were 'ok' as well: youtiao (Chinese donut), soup buns, and salty buns. We saw another table order the six baos. Those look good - maybe we'll try those if we re-visit this place.

Pumpkin pancake
James S.

If you are searching for chinese breakfast, this place is open and has a good selection! Open pot stickers - filling had good flavor, probably one of the highlights of the meal. Handmade Scallion Cake - reasonable, they are able to make it thin or thick. Pumpkin Pancake - I think I was expecting something big here, but it turned out to be these mini 3" pancakes with pumpkin filling. Had a little bit of a mochi taste. It was alright. Salty Tofu Pudding - this was pretty interesting since it's warm tofu in a savory soup/sauce. Its not something you find often, so was something different that I enjoyed. Tons of parking in the shopping center, so if you are coming for breakfast theres tons of spaces. Service was friendly and prompt, but it was a single lady taking care of 4-5 tables, so def a mom and pop store vibe.

Green onion pancakes
William C.

My husband and I tried Sichuan Noodles for the first time on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was pretty busy, and we were seated at a corner table (a bit tight). We ordered scallion pancakes as an appetizer and three entrees: spicy crispy chicken, mapo tofu, and crispy tripe. Did not order noodles. Sidebar: I want to say that I hate their tables. There are no table legs, just a really bulky column supporting the table, and it's very uncomfortable. Whoever chose this style of table was not considering people with long legs, or legs in general. There was a bit of a wait for the food. The pancakes came out first, and they were just okay. They were kind of floppy and undercooked. The entrees then came out, along with two ungenerous bowls of rice. Look, we ordered three entrees. Why not just give us a big bowl of rice? At least the entrees were good. The spicy crispy chicken is exactly that--spicy and crispy (although not very dynamic in terms of flavor). The tripe is excellent; super crispy and flavorful. The mapo tofu is excellent, too, although it is mis-advertised. I dare anyone to find any bit of pork in this dish (it's supposed to have pork). Service is okay. You don't have just one server responsible for your table. I would've wanted the servers to circulate a bit more. Mostly they stayed at the counter. When we asked for anything, like more rice, they brought it quickly. Would come back for the food, and maybe we'll try noodles next time.

White sticky stuff inside the cup walls
Melani P.

There was white sticky stuff inside the cup. Mold looking spots inside the cup. The dumplings were good, but I don't think they have good hygiene. I was completely disgusted as soon as I noticed the dirty cups.

Spicy chicken cubes
Courtney W.

Another great weekday lunch. This place is so reliable I can always come here in a pinch. Food is authentic and fresh.

menu
Zemin H.

The service was courteous. Many choices for traditional Sichuan food. We ordered 3 dishes and shared between us. With Beef Brisket hot pot with rice noodles, I liked the smooth and soft rice noodles, the soup was tasty as well; for Bullfrog hot pot, it's quite spicy and typical hot pot flavor, bullfrog was tender, with a bowl of rice; lastly the Special noodles with beef, the Chinese name was fancy: the noodles to take your soul, it was authentic Sichuan flavor with a lot of green peppers which came with special flavor, nice and spicy. Overall I'd recommend this restaurant if you love spicy food.

Special Noodle with Beef, Roujiamo, Mapo Tofu, Tomato & Fried Egg Soup, Beef Fried Noodle, Fried Buns, Scallion Cake.
Grace Y.

10/10 would recommend this place. I ordered 3 items just for myself because everything on the menu looked so promising. The Roujiamo was not the best (dough was hard, meat was fine), and I'd recommend something else instead. The Soup Buns took a while to come out, but was worth the wait. I took a sip of the Tomato & Egg Soup, and the broth was superb and just what you'd need on a cool, rainy day. And as for the Special Noodle with Beef, I did not really have any expectations, but if I did, this would've far surpassed it. It had just the perfect amount of spice, had great overall flavor, and chewy noodles. If I'm ever back in Houston, this is the first place I'd go in Chinatown. I miss it already!

On my most recent visit we ordered mapo tofu with pork intestines off the specials menu - a hybrid of two of my favorite Sichuan-style dishes. The blend of bouncy, savory morsels amidst tender, saucy tofu was at once revolutionary and so obvious; why hadn't I yet seen this at any other restaurant? And sure, innards may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's important for you to know that none of my past orders from the 50+ item menu have ever failed me, whether enjoyed in the restaurant or at home. Maybe you'd prefer the aromatic, classic, perfectly balanced three-cup chicken? Or the sweet-skinned duck, glazed so delicately that specks of sugar crystal threaten to jump off onto the plate as you pick up a juicy slice with your chopsticks? And if you're vegetarian, might you consider the punchy garlic eggplant or the wok-kissed string beans? I could go on. Do yourself a favor and come see for yourself, though I'd recommend parallel parking on the neighborhood streets behind the restaurant rather than the rocky parking lot, to save you some trouble. Bring friends and chow down family style - you'll need help covering as much of the menu as you can, but you'll definitely have to come back to try everything.

Their service was great, and their extensive menu made it hard to decide what to order! But overall, I didn't feel like being too adventurous, so I ordered the usual: 1) Mapo Tofu: (4.5/5) Pretty tasty! There was definitely a numbing spice, but PERSONALLY not a fan of the addition of ginger, but this is purely personal preference, but something to keep in mind if it's not your favorite ingredient. 2) Eggplants in Spicy Garlic Sauce: (5/5) chefs kiss, you can't go wrong with this. Maybe the Montrose and Bellaire location prepare it a bit differently, but I felt that the Bellaire location did not skimp out on the garlic pieces; I also don't think the dish was very spicy, however. 3) Spicy and Crispy Chicken: (5/5) There's not much to say, but this is another classic that you can't mess up! There are several other dishes that I look forward to trying, and definitely think Mala is one of the best Sichuan places in the area!

We had quite a bit of leftovers and couldn't get anyone to come over for to-go boxes or the check I ended up having to go to the front to ask. Overall, great food and a good experience, but they definitely need more staff if it's consistently this busy.

Get the eggplant! Been obsessed with Sichuan food lately,…read moreand my friend recommended this place. I think we may have went on an off day because I have tried takeout form this place that was delicious, but on this day the food wasn't my favorite. We did overall enjoyed our experience and time and I would recommend giving this place a try! We ordered a total of 5 dishes and everything seemed very authentic to Sichuan cooking. With Sichuan cuisine though, a lot of the food will be on the oily side, so keep that in mind. - Eggplant In Spicy Sauce (5/5): Definitely order this dish! You can tell the eggplant was prepared well because it retained its beautiful purple color and luscious shape. The flavor was sweet and savory seeped well into the eggplant. My only comment would be that there wasn't a strong garlic flavor, but it was still so tasty I think it deserved that 5/5! - Mapo Tofu (2.5/5): I came here specifically for the mapo tofu but was left a bit disappointed. The flavor was pretty good and had that strong Sichuan pepper spice that lingers after a while. My issue with the tofu was the consistency of the sauce. I found it to be very thick and clumpy in an unpleasant way, almost like eating little gelatin pieces. I would probably come back to try it again just in case this was a bad batch, but it's hard to compete with wanna boa's mapo tofu. - Spicy and Crispy Chicken (4/5): Pretty juicy and crispy chicken with a slight kick. I love anything fried chicken so I did enjoy this dish but it was pretty standard and there wasn't much to write about. - Red Oil Dumplings (3/5): Pretty standard oil dumplings. They weren't really spicy which would be good for people who can't handle spice. I think I would've liked a bit more meat filling but overall not bad. - Dan Dan Noodles (3/5): I loved the texture of the noodles but I found the sauce to be kinda slippery which made it hard adhere to the noodles. I also thought the flavor could've been a bit stronger. Service/Ambiance: the interior of this place was super cute, especially the upstairs area. I loved the dim lighting and tiny table lamps which gave this place a cozy romantic feeling. The outside was also interesting with an all black exterior and no sign. That might make it hard to notice or find the restaurant, but that did give it a more hidden feeling which was nice. Parking was also abundant and service was great!
