My favorite restaurant. Great food, great service. Sichuan Style is a major neighborhood resource.

Upon entering, the restaurant was close to empty. There were only two customers. I was with my mother and daughter, was asked where I wanted to sit, I asked to sit by the window. Why not? Well, I was immediately told "no" because they claimed the table was too small and it was only for 2 people. I didn't understand their reasoning, as the tables by the window have 4 chairs. If it's only for 2 people, perhaps there should only be 2 chairs. Whatever. I sat where they wanted us to sit. Shortly after, another family of 3 comes in and they were allowed to sit by the window.. which is where I originally asked to sit. I couldn't help but to wonder why they were allowed but not us? Was it because they were Asian and we are Hispanic? These thoughts are inevitable as there is no other explanation for this. It was extremely upsetting because they weren't treated the same as us. Am I wrong to feel disrespected? The food was ok. They didn't completely understand what I was asking for which was just a communication issue, but the rest was unacceptable in my opinion. As a customer giving them business, if the restaurant is empty, I don't find it a big deal being seated where I ask after THEY OFFERED. Anyway, another thing I noticed that bothered me was someone coming out from the back and dropping hot sauce all over the chairs and floor and making the hostess clean it up. They didn't even help her..just stood watching her clean the mess she didn't create. Just thought that was unfair? Maybe it's just me? Unfortunately will not be going back. read more

We came for a big group graduation dinner with like 10 people and it was DIVINE. The service was quick and the food was probably the most traditional chinese food i've found in Berkeley yet. Would highly recommend ordering the green onion pancakes, sichuan kung pao chicken, and eggplant. read more

This place is awesome most definitely a great find that me and my family stumbled upon !! The food is incredibly fresh and has great flavour, and along with great food our service was phenomenal the lady helping us was very kind and took great care of us ! Would definitely go again ! read more

Shelter in place review: first time trying this place. Ordered the green beans, sesame bread, and sweet & sour chicken. Portion sizes were great. Individual dishes reviewed below. Green beans: These were delicious! They had a nice sauce on them and were covered in garlic. Would definitely recommend these! Sesame bread: i ordered this because I got tempted by the pictures, but I was quite disappointed since the middle was literally hard. I could barely chew the bread in the middle, but the outside was okay. I'm not sure why that happened?? I feel if these were cooked thoroughly, this would've tasted great. There's also green onion in there which adds more flavor. Sweet & sour chicken: This was quite average, your typical sweet & sour chicken dish. Nothing out of the ordinary. read more

I'm first time here and NEVER COME HERE AGAIN. I'm very disappointed for the service. First thing make me uncomfortable is when the lady who wear glasses come to ask my friend for order, I was focusing on my phone and I'm not want to eat something , then my friend asked me anything I want to order, I said " nah, I'm full, I'm not really want to eat." After that the lady took away my tableware and walked away. I think this action to me was not respect to me. Second thing is there dirty on ground and I checked some review on yelp , also someone said the tableware is dirty too, then I saw my friend's tableware was little dirty too. The food of the Scorched rice with some vegetables, my friend ate it and feel disgusting for the sauce. Another thing is bathroom have no toilet paper on both 2 bathrooms, that's sooooo bad on service. read more

This is hands down our new favorite Chinese restaurant. We've come back twice in a month and plan to continue coming back. The ingredients are fresh, prepared well and generously portioned. The travel is worth it for us. In fact, this an entire street is mecca for good food, ironically all on the same side of the road lol. Food, drink and tattoos along this corridor, all heavy hitters! read more

Terrible, overpriced food that gave my entire family diarrhea. Ugh. There's really nothing more to say.

Good food and great service. We ordered the spicy lamb, Mongolian beef and chicken chow mein. We will most certainly go back.

Picked it up to go, 5 minutes from home. Inedible, and I don't say this lightly. The Mapo tofu was so salty we had to throw it out. The General Tso's chicken was very soggy, the coating was either undercooked or possibly because it was placed on top of steamed broccoli. Both the onion pancake and potstickers were extraordinarily tough and chewy, which I have never experienced in 60 years of eating Chinese food. The brown rice was good, though. read more

One of our favorites. We go there all the time for take-out. We just like the basic dishes, like beef chow mein, sweet and sour prawns, and chicken with vegetables. I like the spring rolls and dim sum. Even though Sichuan style is famed for its hot spicy dishes, I can't take the heat. But they have plenty of things that aren't hot. Oh and they are super fast getting the food ready - only 15 minutes. read more

Super good! We ordered the sesame bread and tan tan noodles. Both were much better than expected. The noodles were fresh and had the perfect amount of spice. The best part was dipping the bread into the noodle sauce. This place was a random find, but I would definitely come back again, if I'm in the area. read more

Just moved back to the USA from China and this is def authentic. Flavors on point with American portion size. Be warned the food is pretty spicy and if you haven't eaten Sichuan peppercorns before it's pretty intense (but so, so tasty). If you crave authentic Chinese this is a great spot read more

Sichuan Style Restaurant - Szechuan Near Me - Berkeley, California

We've been here twice so far in the last 3 weeks and both times were great! Almost everything we've ordered so far we have liked. The good: wintermelon/ pork soup, twice cooked pork, filet fish in chili oil, filet fish in pepper oil, green beans, and Chinese okra/ loofa vegetable dish. The only thing we didn't like was the Beijing duck, as it was dry. We did let the server know and he received the feedback well, and told us he would inform the chef. Service is decent, despite having only two servers both times we've been there. Will most likely be a regular for us! read more

The owner lady is kind and friendly, water-boiled fish fillet was very flavorful, it satiated my taste for spicy sichuan food. The generous portions make it so that you can have at least 1+ meal the day after, and on a student budget this is just amazing. I wonder if they have water-boiled whole fish (not fillet), would love to try that next time. read more

This space used to house a great restaurant called King Tsin. Sichuan house is a disgrace. One time fine, next time terrible. And the last few times have been very disappointing. Watery soup, dry Mongolian beef, old pot stickers and a viscious waitress who kept trying to sell us more dishes. Thank God we declined, $70 dollars later and still not fed we had to find someplace that didn't disrespect its paying customers. Years of happy dining now forever gone thanks to the cretins at Sichwan house. Bye. Forever. read more

Absolutely one of the best Chinese meals I've had in the Bay Area. The noodles are off the charts. Everything we ordered was incredible!

Maybe this is a good place to get takeout. Dining inside, however was not an option. There's some sort of vibration going on, I assume has to do with their air conditioning, it was making the whole dining room reverberate in a kind of wa-wa-wa-wa-type of way. It made me nauseous within 30 seconds. I had to leave. Too bad because it really looked like a place I would like to eat. They have a large dining room, but on a Friday night, it was VERY empty. Perhaps others have noted this phenomenon, and that's why so few are dining there...? read more

I was shocked to see this place nearly empty at 6pm on Saturday! This place has delicious and authentic sichuan food. Very quick and courteous staff. The food also comes out fast and fresh (magic). The ambiance is a bit nicer than a normal mom and pop Chinese restaurant. It's clean and family-friendly. Just wanted to write this to support their business. It would be a shame if they ever closed. read more

Absolutely one of the best restaurants I've been to in the whole Bay Area. The braised duck, deep fried mochi, scallion pancakes, truly everything was delicious. Additionally, the service was great! My friend and I left full and happy. Great for groups too! read more

It was apparent that the chef is passionate about the food they cook as it was very delicious, it's the next day and I'm still thinking about the veggie fried rice I ate. The portions were big and they had friendly service. There were some really cool paintings and the ambience was really nice. read more

My first time eating here and I'm a fan! Waiter was really informative with the wine pairings and nice! Canned Diet Coke was ice cold and all of the dishes were really tasty! The Crispy Sichuan fish was a bit too salty for me but in moderation it was fine. Also HUGE portions!! Mushu Pork: [8.5/10] Crispy Fried Sichuan Fish Filets: [7/10] Black Bean Fish Filets: [10/10] Service:[10/10] Diet Coke: [10/10] read more

I strongly caution against choosing this establishment: the service is excessively slow, and the food consistently arrives undercooked. Please think twice before considering it. read more

Sichuan Style Restaurant - 38. Hot Spicy Fish Fillet - Szechuan Near Me - Berkeley, California

This place is really good. I've eaten a lot of Sichuanese food as of late and this place has vibrant flavors, huge portion sizes and a reasonable cost which is everything I look for in any good restaurant. Green beans here are amazing, with just a bit of pork for the meaty flavors. If my childhood vegetables were like this growing up, who needs meat? And the spicy fish and lamb is the best rendition I've had anywhere. Not overwhelming with the chili oil, tender fish fillets are poached in there with a ton of chillies, sliced lamb, some vegetables and a spike of fresh minced garlic for some bite. It's surprisingly light for what it looks like and is a dish I could eat for days and multiple meals if I was eating solo. Their Chongqing Chicken Wings is probably the weakest of the items we tried - very bony and hard to work your teeth around the meat, but taste is pretty good - definitely well fried. Definitely gonna be back for more, hopefully with a larger group so I can eat more of their menu. read more

Stopped here on a recent trip to Berkeley. My kids are too adventurous so we had some of the standard fare. Kung Pao chicken, beef chow mein, and sweet and sour prawns along with rice and an order of pot stickers. It was all tasty and the kids enjoyed it. I definitely would come back but be a bit more adventurous in my ordering! read more

The food is sooooo great!!! I have been here plenty of times and always satisfied! All the dishes are recommended. Service is good all the time and environment is quiet and clean! Strongly recommended if you want to try some authentic Chinese food read more

This place is so so good, I'm 100% serious. I visit Sichuan a lot and I can truly say that the food here is super authentic. It has the perfect amount of spiciness, numbness, and flavoring to sum up the perfect Chinese cuisine experience. Best place in Solano!! Food: I wasn't too hungry when I came here, but the food did not disappoint! I ordered the eggplant with spicy garlic sauce. It was amazing. The sweetness paired so perfectly with the garlic flavor. The eggplant was hot and almost a bit crispy on the outside and the inside was tender and fresh. The glaze was one of the best i've had around this area. The other dish was the sliced rib eye with gold broth. This was hands down so delicious. The beef was thinly sliced and the flavor was well absorbed. I loved the veggies that came with it, especially the mushrooms! Nothing was too salty or overdone, which is common at a lot of Chinese restaurants. I will definitely be coming back soon! Price & Portion: For around $36 after tax and tip, we were able to enjoy two authentic dishes. It's a bit pricey but you get what you paid for. They also gave us a generous amount of white rice, which we didn't have to pay extra for. The eggplant dish is only around $8.50 for their lunch special, but for dinner it was around $10. Their portions are super generous, 2 dishes was perfect for two people; we left so stuffed! Service & Ambiance: One of the cleanest Chinese restaurants i've been to. It's super decorated and traditional, I love the ambiance. It was pretty quiet when we went around 8:30PM on a Sunday night. The service is top-notch. The waitress and waiter were both so polite. The food arrive fairly quickly as well. My entire experience here was delightful! read more

Just ordered a fish lunch special. It tasted bitter as if the fish was spoiled. Decided to give it another try today 8/22/23- It was even worse today. The food at this place is very disappointing. It was good a decade ago-now it's worse. It has gone to the dumps- plus the prices have doubled and the quantity and quality have worsened. read more

Always ordered out, so never been inside the restaurant. But the food is generally and consistently good. Portions are generous, if on the oily side. Definitely try the pork shoulder. Service is consistent and quick. read more

The mapo tofu, lamb dishes, and fish dishes are amazing! Service was friendly, and the restaurant is nice and comfortable.

Been going to this place for more than a couple years now, so I figured a review was imperative--it's definitely our favorite local spot!! The owners pretty much know my boyfriend and I now, because we come so often. They even know our regular drinks and orders! Literally everything on the menu is delicious, and the service is so friendly. It feels like coming home to a family in a way. Definitely get the Hunan style diced chicken (it's on the left in that second photo--I think that's what it's called!). Fried green beans are a must, too, or their pea shoots if they have it (it was offered as a special to us). The free dessert is fried mochi with a sweet sauce on the house. A couple of our favorite dishes are also the braised pork shoulder, twice-fried pork, and the fuqi fei pan (this one's perfect for you extra spicy lovers), but the list is ongoing and will only continue to grow. Anyways, support your local restaurants! We'll never stop going here. read more

The food here is really good, and the portion is large, and price is good comparing to other Chinese Restaurants. I have been a fan of spicy Chinese food. And Sichuan Style is one of my favorite.

Excellent dishes, in particular the signature spicy fish special and duck king fu special. Good wine recommendation. But problems with the service: Appetizers and main courses arrived at the same time, restrooms were closed for cleaning before official closing time and before guests were finished eating. read more

Spicy, oily goodness Upon recommendation from other reviews, we ordered the Mapo Tofu with pork, Chongqing 1000 Chili Pepper Chicken, and the Shredded Pork with Dry Bean Curd. My favorite of the 3 was the chicken as it was the least oily of the bunch, but everything was great. The mapo tofu and chicken weren't super spicy so if you're looking for some heat they will do. read more

We were hoping to order from our favorite restaurant but they were CLOSED!!! We decided to try Sichuan Style Restaurant and went crazy!!! The food was delivered quickly. It is beautifully prepared and everything is delicious! What a great choice. We have only had tastes waiting for our kids to get home. We are looking forward to digging in. read more

Will edit this when I have more time to go in depth, but I've been going here for a couple years now. Bar none, one of my favorite restaurants in the East Bay. The owners remember my girlfriend and I by our favorite dishes at this point. I've been out to other, often-mentioned meccas for Sichuan cuisine, like LA's San Gabriel Valley and Flushing, Queens. Without a doubt, this place is on par with the aforementioned. I honestly don't understand why it doesn't get more attention. Some favorites: Fuqi feipian Spicy Boiled Beef Hunanese style diced chicken Dry fried string beans Braised pork shoulder Twice-cooked pork If they have a rotating special, try it! Never been let down with their recommendations so far, they seem to do a different kind of sautéed vegetable pretty often. Loved the pea shoots and kale. read more

Delicious, delicious sichuan that never disappoints. We came here for lunch on the spur of the moment and it's now one of our favorites.

I have many good things to say about this business. I am unsure if they're family owned, but that's the vibe I get. Everyone from the waiters, the patrons, the bus boys, and the perceived owners are always polite, kind, helpful, kind, and know their cuisine very well. I am appreciative of the adjustments they are willing to make for different diet, preferences or food allergies. On top of that, the food is absolutely delicious! The presentation is beautiful, it is fresh, and seems authentic. I often forget to return here, and in the times that I have, they never fail to disappoint. I'd like to recognize this business, and possibly this family - thank you for your service and the work you do! You've got a loyal customer in me. See y'all soon! read more
