Ok, I've officially found my new favorite delivery spot. Dry pepper fish, cumin lamb, dan dan noodles (with minced pork) and spicy cukes. Delivery was so insanely fast. The guy dropping them off was so kind. The cost was TOTALLY ON POINT - in fact about $2-4 less per dish than the place I typically order from, and got to my house so much faster. I did NOT get a chance to go inside, so I can't speak to the ambiance within, but I can speak to the size of the portions - we have leftovers for days! Can't wait to dig back in for round two (and probably 3!) Spice level is UP THERE, clears the sinuses right out. read more

So so good. Standouts were the dry pepper chicken and the dandan noodles - super spicy, just the way they should be. The garlic sauce beef was also great, although i was surprised they didn't have a long hot pepper on the menu (what i usually gravitate towards). Chili oil chicken dumplings were also a solid appetizer. We ordered takeout and the food was still hot and fresh when it arrived. Also appreciated how affordable it was compared to other family-style szechuan places! read more

I have been here multiple times and cannot recommend it enough. Their spice levels are insane, so be warned. Their wings are extra crispy, fat, and full of flavor. read more

It's true what they say about the Dan Dan noodles. These are delicious! The pork is flavorful, the noodles cooked just right and order your spicy level and they will deliver. I had been craving Dan Dan noodles for a week and these satisfied every bit of that craving and will also satisfy it in the days to come because this portion is so generous I will have left -overs for days. The spicy cucumber also hit the spot with its crunch and chili oil. Order from here. You won't be sorry. read more

I ordered the cumin chicken (spicy) for delivery after reading so many recommendations about this place. The delivery was quick, but I was super disappointed with the quality of the food. First off, the food was barely warm even in this heat. The overall flavor was good, but the chicken was sort of dry and chewy instead of being tender and juicy like I have always had. It became a bit better in texture when I heated it up but still wasn't great. read more

South Sichuan - Cumin Style (GF) Chicken - Szechuan Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We ordered cumin style lamb ( the lamb was nice and tender), vegetable lomein, and shrimp fried rice ( was not soaked in soy sauce like many Philly spots tend to do). The location looks like a regular corner Chinese store. It was clean inside. We ordered prior to Arriving and was told 15 mins and our food was ready when we walked in. Next time, I will try the Dan Dan noodles with minced pork! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

South Sichuan - Cumin Style chicken - Szechuan Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Wow, this place is amazing!! I only found out about it today on reddit. I got delivery, and everything was tasty. Dry Pepper Tofu was A+, the green beans were perfect, the rice was cooked well, and the scallion pancakes were not too oily, just as I like it. Unfortunately they added minced pork to my dan dan noodles by accident, and I don't eat pork, so I was reluctant to dig into it, but had a bite from the bottom, and it was good. Still 5 stars, we all make mistakes! I am now a forever customer. Oh, and the prices are great! read more

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. read more

Saw a lot of people online recommending this place so I decided to order take out. Definitely a great decision! The portions were very generous and the flavor was great. Loved the Dan Dan noodles, green beans, and scallion pancakes. The cumin style beef was also good but idk if I would order that again (just personal preference). The pork dumplings were also yummy but didn't travel the best. Will definitely order from here again! read more

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! read more

Absolutely fire food! And super affordable. Honestly was shocked at how heavy this portion was! I ordered pickup (not realizing they were getting ready to close) and the staff couldn't have been nicer. It took me a minute while waiting inside to realize I was looking at renovations to what used to be Stockyard (rip). Place looks so different than before and has more seating available. When I finally dug into my noodles at home, I was delighted. it's just nice to know a good business filled the hole stockyard left. Def recommending these guys to others in the neighborhood (especially since other new businesses just doors away like Asad's actually has some of the worst customer service my friends and I have experienced anywhere). read more

If you are looking for authentic Sichuan food, this is NOT the place unfortunately. You are better off paying a bit extra and ordering from one of those Sichuan food restaurants in Chinatown. This is not Sichuan food, let's just be real here. read more

South Sichuan does not mess around when it comes to flavor and spice and I'm here for it. Although it's a takeout place, the food quality rivals many local restaurants. The food is quite spicy here, even some of the ones labeled not spicy still has a bit of a kick. I always order the beef and tripe appetizer every single time. It's drenched in an intense numbing Sichuan peppercorn chili oil that is completely addictive. The braised beef noodle soup is another must-try. The broth has amazing flavor and the beef is so tender. The wok green beans and cumin lamb style lamb are also excellent here! read more

The authentic sichuan menu and American Chinese dishes make this perfect for picky kids and grownups with more refined tastes. Waitstaff was really nice and the food was delicious. It's hard to make Chinese food that's a step up, but they pulled it off here. read more

Good vegetarian dan dan noodles -- cheap and HUGE portion. Cons: noodles clumped a little in the box + I wish there was more liquid (the sauce to noodle ratio wasn't that high). read more

Ordered my favorite Dan Dan Noodles. The serving was so big that I had to finish it in 2 days. I love this kind of cuisine and will try their other food soon. Good thing restaurants like this are in Masterman where my daughter attends. read more

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 read more

This place is so good but very spicy. Takeout was quick and the food was still hot when it arrived.

We ordered takeout from this new spot on a Saturday night and were very impressed! The delivery was quick, and the food arrived fairly hot. We started with the dumplings in chili oil, the scallion pancakes, and the Dan Dan noodles. I think the noodles would be my go to from here: perfectly spicy and peanutty! We also tried the curry and dry pepper wings. We liked the dry pepper wings much better than the curry, but I do wish they would be a bit crisper. It could have to do with the takeout distance, so I wouldn't fault them for that. We finished off with the scallion style beef, which had fantastic flavor. The beef was a little too chewy for my liking, but my husband loved it. Overall, we'd absolutely order from here again! read more

First time trying this place and I bought the dry pepper wings. It was really good very flavorful! Mild was spicy to me. Lightly sweet with a lot of savory. Kinda expensive, but I will be back to try more off the menu. read more

The food from this place is sooooo good! Just wish there was one for dining in but who's complaining.

Hidden gem!! Tiny corner take-away spot with some of the best Chinese food I've ever had in this city. Their fried rice completely blew us away. The three pot chicken was so good we couldn't stop eating it and their balance of heat and flavor is perfect. Everything is expertly done. read more

Best no frills take out for spicy sichuan food !! Better get home quick for best results and surprising still crispy chicken.

Tons of sichuan places in Philly, but this was pretty good and very affordable!! Dry pepper wings are awesome, eggplant and Dan Dan are also great. I would skip the wontons, the sauce needs some sweetness. Fruit teas are also delicious, tried the mango and lychee tea! Will be ordering again read more

I got Dan Dan noodles smelled spoiled due to their old scallions, if you work in the kitchen you would understand that smell. So I couldn't eat that. I also got the beef & tripe, in chili oil. That was fine until the next day. I put in the fridge mind you that dish is a COLD dish. SPOILED AF. Idk maybe I just had a batch of food. Idk if ima go back read more

This place rocks. Quick service, Delicious food, kind people. Food is always hot and tastes fresh. Thanks for being here

Wow, I got the Spicy Tofu Fish- absolutely fantastic! Spicy, yet extremely edible- the heat creeps up on you! My mouth started to tingle, but my desire to wolf down as much as possible surprised me. It was enough for two, with leftovers for the following day! I couldn't stop thinking about the place, so I got the Double Cooked Chicken a few days later. Also excellent! This one was more of a typical entrée size, I ate it all and again was very pleased with the spice level and flavor. Can't wait to try more, I'm about to call them up again right now read more
