Spicy Spicy Tofu Fish
Alise R.

We loved South Sichuan!!! We decided to get Chinese delivery and were complaining about how Han Dynasty was too expensive last time we ordered there. So we branched out and tried South Sichuan. Everything was so delicious - and the portions were great!!! We, of course, had the cucumbers bc it is a fave of mine. Delish! And the dan dan noodles. We ordered 2 other meals and ate them for days. My only setback was the spicy tofu and fish was too spicy for me. But my bf loved it!! Def will be ordering from here again and again.

Okay so boom, I was craving spicy food. I knew that there was a place in south Philly that had Sichuan and the reviews I had been hearing were pretty good. Fast forward to me asking for my food to be even spicier and them actually accommodating me! I didn't know my food came with rice so I got double rice! It was awesome. I wished that it was just a tad less salty but that's my own personal preference. I truly enjoyed it so much I can't wait to try other things on the menu! Thank you for listening and giving me even spicer food!

This place has been viral recently on social media so we gave it a try and was kinda disappointed. First, it is a take out only place, so I expected service to be super fast. I waited for probably 30+ minutes because they had so many uber eats/doordash orders. Definitely recommend giving them a call way beforehand so you can just come pick up when it is done. As for the food, the green bean is too soft/overcooked imo, but seasoning is okay. The wonton in chili oil is more sour than usual. I'm not sure if this is sichuan style or not, but I'm not a fan, and it is also quite spicy even after I ask for less spicy lol. Dan dan is normal, not a lot of peanut butter taste, and even though the menu doesn't say it is spicy, it is. Price is affordable.

If you are in Philly COME CHECK SOUTH SICHUAN OUT! 10/10 Every dish we got was jammed packed with flavors! If you love spice this is the spot! (Even if you don't like spice they have options for you!) The service was quick and super friendly! It's a to go spot so pick up your dishes and have a nice picnic at a park! On our next trip back to Philly we are definitely coming back!

Highly recommend! Delicious food and reasonable prices for their generous portions. Everything I ordered was great--here are some of my favorites: Chicken Wings, Mapo Tofu, Pork Dumplings with Chili Oil, and Dan Dan Noodles! Service was fast and fantastic

Saw this place go viral on TikTok and had to try it, especially since my boyfriend is a big fan of DanDan noodles and Sichuan food. As soon as we arrived, the whole block smelled amazing with that signature Sichuan aroma! It's a takeout-only spot, so we went in and placed our order. We got the DanDan noodles (of course), spicy crispy cucumber, and cumin-style chicken. The food took about 15 minutes, which felt reasonable. The noodles were super spicy but really tasty, according to my boyfriend. I loved the cumin chicken, so flavorful! The cucumber had great flavor too, but it was a little warm and not as crispy as we hoped. Overall, a great spot for authentic Sichuan dishes with reasonable prices and portions. Street parking was easy too. Definitely worth checking out!

Newer takeout only spot for Sichuan cuisine in south Philly. Heard good things so had to try. Very quick preparation and picking up is easy at the window inside. The entire place looks quite well kept which is always good to see. Ordered dry pepper rub chicken and dan dan noodles, two tasty dishes to compare. Dan dan noodle were overall okay, very strong sesame sauce though the spice was a bit bland. Large portion here. Dry pepper rub chicken was quite good, had a fair amount of peppers but could've been amped up a bit. Overall I'd say food is 4/5, service & speed is 5/5, and cost is 5/5. Good new spot, thanks.

Mapo Tofu

Love this Chinese place! Takeout only and their food is delicious. The portions are generous and the service is quick. I really enjoyed their mapo tofu, eggplant, and the spicy tofu we got! The noodles were ok- wish they had a little more flavor! Overall, my go to Chinese takeout spot!

String beans

Ordered for pickup tonight and glad we did! We love sichuan style food and we were craving it. Everything we ordered was delicious! Salt pepper chicken wings were well seasoned and crispy. Dan dan noodles sauce was perfect. Beef hot sauce was bold and spicy and lamb dry pot style was amazing. We loved the string beans also. We ve prob been to all the sichuan restaurants in the city and south sichuan is now our goto! We put in our order and was ready by the time we got there, fast ! Who could guess a small takeout restaurant in south Philly can take over the sichuan crown, try it for yourself

The homemade DanDan noodles were our favorite, which are served with ground pork in a spicy peanut sauce. We also got the three cup chicken which was so good, with a sweet, licorice-like glaze. Some other favorites were the black pepper chicken and the long hot chicken, if you enjoy spice. We had the ginger and scallion dish and was not our favorite, as the chicken had a unique consistency and was quite limp. Overall, good service and a relaxing ambiance in a bustling city.

The food is consistently strong, and the signature dan dan noodles are a must-order. We also tend to get the chicken potstickers, scallion pancake, kung pao chicken, and dry pot beef, along with white rice for the table. It's a menu that rewards repeat visits. We've had both takeout and dine-in here, and we definitely prefer dining in. The food is at its best when it comes straight out of the kitchen. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and kind without being overbearing. For seating, we prefer the cozy but small upstairs dining area, so making a reservation on OpenTable is usually a good idea. There are a few high-top tables downstairs near the kitchen and windows, which are also great, but if you prefer a quieter or cozier spot, we think the upstairs is best. They also offer a happy hour with good prices, and overall, the value for the food quality is excellent. We often bring out-of-town guests, and it's always a hit. Sichuan cuisine remains distinct from typical American Chinese, which helps Dan Dan stand out. We've also noticed their Ardmore location, which appears to be a strong alternative. Consistently good, well-run, unique, and worth visiting, especially for the dan dan noodles. Highly recommended and hope to be back soon!

Visiting Philly & I was looking for a decent Chinese restaurant. I was willing to give this a try…read moresince it was walking distance from my hotel. When I first walked in, I was about to walk out as the atmosphere was very hipster-est & not of traditional Chinese restaurant. We sat down. Gave us a menu and tea was served immediately. Good sign. Ordered a twice cook pork and garlic eggplant. It was very good. What impressed me the most was that the food was out within 10 minutes. Now that's authentic! Service is good. Poor server (Angela) was by herself and always kept a happy face. What a professional! Highly recommend if you are looking for good Szechuan food with good service.

A bit on the higher priced side for this dish but as I've had some great food from a different Han Dynasty location I didn't mind trying them out. Portion size was average on the chicken. The spice level says 8/10 but it was definitely on the weaker side. Maybe the peppers themselves were older / dried out and the flavor faded too much vs fresher peppers right before cooking. Maybe a bad choice of dish or an off day but as compared to a few other Sichuan dry pepper dishes from other restaurants around Philly it was a clear step below them. Might try a different choice if I order again.

Then you come across Spice-C and their hole in the wall feel beckons. The -2222- in their phone number signals to you that this was a heaven sent idea. (Note- the service is noticeably grudging aka providing what is required but with no warmth or even acknowledgement of your presence, very perfunctory but alas. We're in 2026, we're blessed to be joyful and alive, and we move) The soups base was rich, and made even richer by the table side accoutrements. I could spread my brisket with my chopsticks, my tripe was flavorful, and my steak also melted in my mouth. The house special was a knockout, and the never ending fountain of hand drawn noodles was the cherry of top.

The ambiance inside can be described as family friendly and good for small groups of 2-4. We did have to wait a little bit for the table, but service was quick once we were inside the restaurant. The menu had a wide variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian noodle and rice dishes. I'd definitely recommend trying a noodle dish as they're known for hand pulling the noodles. We ordered a seaweed salad and mixed veggies with tofu (rice and noodles). All of the dishes were seasoned well, priced appropriately for the portions, and were good for sharing. I'd recommend this place when visiting with a family in Chinatown.

It's not overwhelming with Kim chee, so that could be a miss for die-hard Kim chee lovers and great for people who aren't entirely sold on Kim chee. The service is amazing! Food is quick, waiters are quick and hospitable. 10/10! The ambiance is gorgeous, dimly lit and just a vibe overall. I love the colors inside that light up on the walls. I enjoy sitting at the bar in front of the kitchen. It's an experience!

We ordered the crispy chicken bao buns, crispy shrimp, general tso soup dumplings, wagyu beef, Korean bbq beef, and hamachi ceviche. We were a group of 3 so one thing that was nice was that our waiter added 1 additional skewer/bao bun for the meals instead of ordering 2 plates of them. Out of all the food we ordered the most delicious were the meats; the wagyu and Korean bbq beef. They were so tender and lightly seasoned because the beef quality itself was good. The Wagyu beef was paired with an apricot dip that was really good. The chilli crisp chicken bao was also good but didn't have much sauce, so it was on the dry side. It was supposed to have chilli so we expected it to be spicy but it was not. We all really liked the crispy shrimp--it was truly crispy. The sauce and the radish paired really nicely with the shrimp as well. The one meal we did not enjoy were the soup dumplings. When we got them they were dripping of raw dough and had no soup in them. The waiter was kind enough to replace them but we still didn't really enjoy them. I did not try the hamachi ceviche because I'm pregnant but it was also a favorite from the group. For dessert we had the mini ice cream cones. The waiter again added an extra one for us. The flavors were chocolate banana and mango. They were good, small bites. One of them melted so quickly and fell on the table and the waiter was really kind and got us a replacement. I did use the bathroom and absolutely hated it. It was unbelievably dark in there and there were weird sounds playing in there. I went in there to make sure I didn't have food in my teeth but couldn't even see. Super inaccessible, hopefully that's something that can be changed. The service overall was clearly excellent! I would recommend this place, especially if you come for the meats. It was surprisingly filling too.
