What a greasy spoon this place is!!! There was enough oil in each of the dishes ordered to make French fries!!! I don't understand why the excess of oil to make what I consider some easy food. It is all the more reason for me to continue to learn to make the dishes I enjoy so that I don't have to contend with so MUCH OIL!!!! It's ridiculous and a waste the amount that was in the three dishes ordered. I will not order from here again. read more

Sichuan Style Restaurant - A bowl of oil!!! - Szechuan Near Me - Berkeley, California

Sichuan Style is our family's favorite Chinese restaurant in the Berkeley Albany area for the last several years. Always great food. Large portions. It's nice to be a regular and treated so well by the staff. Web dine in regularly and also get takeout from time to time. read more

This place is a gem. The best sichuan place in the bay area. Their portions are generous, their water boiled fish special is great, and their chonqqing chicken. the family who own the restaurant is the sweetest. Highly recommend read more

Food was okay, nothing special. The worst part was that another customer was playing loud baby music the whole time. I asked the staff to speak with them, and have turned lower or off. She went to the back and never spoke with anyone about it. Server then hid from us until it was time to get the check. We took our food to go and left. read more

I had lunch here with my family and ordered the "Today Market's Fish." Before placing the order, I confirmed with the waitress that it would be made with live fish. However, the dish was clearly prepared using frozen fish as my wife could easily taste the difference. When I asked to speak with the manager, the waitress admitted it and removed the dish. Very disappointing and not honest. read more

We just had the BEST meal here! Unique, flavorful dishes, prepared with care. The portions are generous, the staff very friendly, and the restaurant large and comfortable. A nice surprise of a delicious complimentary pot of tea and bowl of pickled cabbage to whet our appetites. I'm a vegetarian and my partner eats meat, plenty of options for both of us. read more

Located in a nice area in Albany. My group and I found the food, portion size, and price to be very great for a nice restaurant. We all loved the food and especially the Spicy Sichuan Tofu W/Fish. -Home Style Five Spice Braised Pork Shoulder 5/5. Texture, taste, and presentation was beautiful and is super juicy and saucy. -Cumin Lamb 4.5/5. Chewy, not gamey taste at all, and ample flavor. -Twice Cooked Bacon Cut Pork 4/5. It was good, thin cut pork that was nice, albeit a bit greasy but that is the style of the dish and have no complaints. -Spicy Szechuan Tofu W/Fish 6/5. Yes I say 6/5 because it was just that darn good haha. Soft, and extremely delicious and everyone in the group scarfed it down instantly. -Chow Mein w/Beef 4.5/5. It was really tasty and I would get it again. Only gripe is that it's smaller portion for the price we paid for, but the taste was one of the best beef chow mein's I've had. Overall, for 5 dishes and after tax and tip, it came down to roughly $33/person and that is a fair price for good food that was generous portions and decent service. Not expensive at all for what we had. I'd recommend this place if you want good, well priced, Sichuan food in the area! read more

Good as always :) The dishes come out surprisingly quickly out. I really enjoy their fry/dry cooked dishes more but the soups aren't bad either (on the tad spicer side). read more

Hubby and I were craving some Chinese food and something spicy. Tried this restaurant for the 1st time. Food was delicious but it was not as spicy as we were expecting it to be. The lotus root was my favorite. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. Overall our experience was good. Would definitely come back. read more

Good spice without losing flavor. Large variety of choices even for those who don't like spicy food. The braised pork is a tender non-spicy balance to pair with a hotter dish, but also great on its own. So glad to have found a replacement for the Sichuan restaurant that closed in El Cerrito and they even have Sichuan style kimchee. Good size space, but beware of sitting downstream from the main door as the wind can get pretty chilly. Especially if spicy food causes you to sweat. Nice friendly staff. read more

I had the braised duck and the kung pao chicken. Both were so full of flavors that made my night so well. Definitely coming back

Authentic sichuan food with very reasonable price! Great value considering the portion, the price and the taste. For three of us, we only finished half of what we ordered (three dishes) and had plenty to take home for another meal. Also, the spice level was very manageable, enough to give you the kick but not too much to make you regret having it next day. The menu selection was extensive and can be a little overwhelming if you don't know sichuan food well. We came for an early weekend lunch and the restaurant was pretty slow. The indoor was quite spacious and the staff were friendly. read more

Large menu, well prepared dishes, efficiently and welcoming wait staff. Decor attractive and seating is comfortable.

Some of the best Sichuan food in the bay! My mom whos from Sichuan approves and deems this place to be authentic. Ordered a ton of food (probably about 8 dishes) and each and every dish was unbelievably tasty. This place is big on bold, spicy flavors with a variety of spice blends. Every bite is addicting to eat especially with some rice! I only took a picture of two dishes but unfortunately do not know the names as I didn't order them. Another plus is that the service is great! Such attentive staff that give good recommendations. They helped us pack our food to go which is much appreciated. Will definitely be back if I'm in the area. Give this place a try and you won't be disappointed. read more

Tried this place for the first time as in the area and Yelp review , upon checking in on Yelp there was a lunch combo coupon available for check ins although when showed to the waiter before placing order I was advised they do not accept Yelp coupon. I preceded with placing my order wanting to give this place a try but it fell flat , old shredded lettuce on plate , mushy egg roll filling, not the flavor I was used to or expecting it was a miss for me . I also felt ignored, no check in as other tables around me received , maybe it was just a busy day . read more

So disappointed with this Sichuan. It was my family's favorite Chinese restaurant in our neighborhood but last father's day they humiliated my family when they tipped $16 by saying its too less and deducting extra $10 from the card by themselves. So so disappointed to hear them humiliate local customers like this! Sharing this information with all my Solano neighborhood. We literally celebrate our birthdays, graduations and family gatherings here but to hear them humiliate my parents who doesnt speak English properly like this is devastating. Shameful! Done with this restaurant for good! read more

Sichuan Style Restaurant - 77. Beef Fried Rice 82. Chicken Chow Fun 10. Pot Sticker - Szechuan Near Me - Berkeley, California

Great ambience. Excellent service. We had two items. First the beef chow fun. The flavor was delicious, noodles perfect, beef was tender, however for the price, it was skimpy on the beef. The second dish I was very disappointed in. It was the mixed vegetable dish. The vegetables were fresh & perfectly cooked. All our food came out fast, fast fast. However, it looked like there was a third of a cup of oil or more swimming in the bottom of the platter. At my age, I can't take all that oil. If you're young, and you don't care, go for it. But I will not be ordering that ever again. I did give them that feedback while there and they were receptive and said they would pass it on. The restaurant is very clean. read more

Convenient location, close to the climbing gym. Lunch special until 2:30. Friendly people. And most of all, delicious food! We got the spicy pork and the beef with mixed vegetables. Actually, most of all ... fortune cookies!! read more

I only ordered the Chongqing Chili Pepper Chicken to-go and it was sooooooo hot and spicy. My eyes are watering even thinking about it. The unbelievable spiciness seemed to cancel out any of the flavor. Seriously, the box was nearly 1/4 filled with inedible red chili's. After the first bite, my entire mouth started to burn, and no, it wasn't the sinus-cleaning heat. I ate about 1/3 of the box and then waved the white flag. I didn't have any feeling in my mouth for a while. I then removed the chili peppers and saved the chicken for later (it was just chili peppers and small chicken pieces). After eating a few bites as a snack the next day, I realized the spice hadn't calmed down, and I quit. The Chongqing Chili Pepper Chicken had finally won a complete victory! My friends did enjoy their non-chili pepper orders, like: beef and broccoli, potstickers, soup, etc. read more

This is my favorite Sichuan restaurant in Bay Area for sure. I used to go to school in Chengdu so I know their food is very authentic. My husband liked the Mongolian beef a lot and the appetizer pickles. Staff were friendly and helpful. Love it! :) read more

Sichuan Style Restaurant - Szechuan Near Me - Berkeley, California

Fantastically spicy Sichuan food. All our dishes were bathed in the fiery red of Sichuan chili peppers. The beef with fresh tofu was perfect. The silky coolness of the tofu married beautifully with the heat of the chili. The Dan Dan noodles was more like a soup but still delicious, with its hand pulled noodles. And the chili fried chicken reminded me of Taiwanese popcorn chicken. Crispy with plenty of salt, pepper and spice to add that extra kick. Service was spot on too. I'd highly recommend this spot if you're looking for some delicious, spicy Chinese food. Just be prepared to sweat! read more

My husband, daughter, and I sat down to eat here last weekend and everything was delicious. We ordered the green onion pancakes, Szechuan sausage, pork belly, sesame chicken, and tan tan noodles. Everything had the right amount of spice and flavor, and the portions were more than enough for us. We came at a time when they weren't very busy so service was attentive. The restaurant was very clean and soft musics played in the background. Overall I enjoyed my time here and would definitely come back. read more

The chopsticks are disgusting!!!!!! The young female waitress's face is very grumpy! Looks like she doesn't like to work here but had too because of whatever reason in her life?? When you walk in a restaurant, the main thing you look at is the waiter or waitress's face and attitude. Sometimes even the food are not great but the waitress or waiter's skill would save the day. But they don't understand how it works I guess or they just don't give a shitz. read more

Sichuan Style Restaurant - They need to put these in bleach to clean it!!!!!! Seriously it's not hard to clean the sticks that meant for customer's mouth!? - Szechuan Near Me - Berkeley, California

So, hmmm. I've mixed feelings about this place. On the one hand, Sichuan Style rests on the premises of the late, semi-great King Tsin restaurant, which was a staple of my youth growing up. I will admit that institution went down hill seriously in the 90's and 00's: the last time I ate there was about 12 years ago and it was clearly in its death throes. SS is certainly a great improvement over what was left of a once-great restaurant. The interior of the restaurant shows remains of its former incarnation here and there (mostly the panels on the east wall), but is far more open and airy than before. While pleasant, it feels a bit unfinished--as if a decorator got started on the place and then suddenly quit. That apart, SS boasts a pretty broad menu, with a considerable number of offerings (not all of them szechuan, as we used to say in my youth). Most of them are quite well done. The sauce can be a bit heavy and gloppy at times; sichuan should have some zing in AND have a medium-thick sauces. But in general the food is of very good quality and the spices are well-balanced. The pork dishes in particular are well-done. I'm not as familiar with the Chinese offerings of the East Bay as I once was, but I would say overall, it could compete comfortably with other restaurants in the area. That they also usually have specials that seem to cater to a more Chinese clientele is perhaps an indication of that as well. Is it a spot I would like to sit and dine? Maybe not, but for a takeout order, they make a pretty damn fine meal. read more

Sichuan Style Restaurant - Szechuan Near Me - Berkeley, California

Food was 10/10, every single bite was amazing. Service was exceptional and very attentive. Highly recommend the sesame chicken, wontons in chilli oil, chow mein, bok choy in garlic, and hot & sour soup. We definitely dived into the experience and it was well worth it. Thank you! read more

不是正宗的四川菜 . Not authentic at all. My wife is chengdu born and raised, we eat Sichuan food all the time. This place is not good, if you're looking for authentic Sichuan food. Maybe good if you're looking for American Chinese though, so take my review with a grain of salt. For example, the boiled fish dish didn't have a whole fish (was like frozen fish chunks) and the sauce seemed like a bottled goop, not actually made the right way. read more

Ordered take out! Look what's in my food! They gave me some extra protein I didn't even ask for!!! What an amazing restaurant!!! If you want to try some flies, Sichuan style is definitely your go to place!!! I didn't see until I ate a few pieces. I got stomachaches and diarrhea for a couple days. If you also want a tour of the hospital, Sichuan style is a MUST GO!!! read more

Pork dish was greasy. Green beans were overcooked and also greasy. I had take out. Maybe in house is better.

One of our favorite restaurants around Berkeley. Very tasty. We like Spicy Szechuan soft tofu, most appetizers and seafoods. Plus big dish and good price! Even more clean and spacey with nice decorations. We love it. read more

Amazing dry cooked green beans, twice cooked pork, Mapo tofu and water boiled spicy fish fillet! My favorite was the dry cooked green beans, a beautiful flavor combo of spicy, salty, and sweet. Twice cooked pork was one of the best I've had. Presentation is beautiful and service was great! Interior is also nice and spacious. read more

The food was really well done and the portion sizes were also great for the price. Staffs were also really friendly!

The absolute best! Food is always hot and fresh. Crispy dishes stay crispy bc they separate the sauce for takeout--so smart. Dry fried green beans are amazing and massive quantity. Prices are high but the quality and quantity are super high so the value is unmatched. Owners and staff are also great. Love coming here and will continue coming back read more
