    For some reason I didn't notice this place has been around for nearly a year until this weekend. Went in around 3pm and it was empty. The place was super clean, simply decorated, and the staff was friendly. We got the avocado with pepper sauce that was soo good, the spare ribs in flour which was also good, lots of meat, the shredded chicken with cold noodles, the chicken wasn't enough and the noodles were way too long, but the flavor was amazing! And lastly the steamed rice cakes with osmanthasas which added no flavor and could've been sweeter. But overall the meal was great, good prices and for sure will return

    Two great friends with a great meal!

    Was invited here by 2 mandarin speakers and thank God I was. This an authentic chinese quinine establishment that lived up to that . The menu had many items I had never seen before and they were saying they were normal chinese food items. I was not disappointed in taking their word for what I was eating. It was all very delicious. This eatery is located in a strip mall in Arcadia where it moved because they were too popular for the previous location. The waitresses were extremely sweet and helpful understanding that I did not know the language. I appreciate that tremendously! So, would I return, yes! With my mandarin speaking friends. Should you visit here? Definitely, Asian friends or not, the food is very good!

    Double-cooked pork with black beans. Very good.

    I am very happy there is a new Sichuan restaurant on the Monrovia/ Arcadia border. Everything we ordered was great. The double cooked pork, the beef noodle soup, xiao long bao. The lot. Pleasant interior. Helpful wait staff. Looking forward to trying everything on the menu.

    Our friends introduced us to this amazing restaurant. We loved the food so much that we came back with mom. We started with the cold noodle and spicy chicken with bamboo. The mild numbing spicy sauce was perfect. Next dish was the braised pork, it really melted in my mouth. The vegetables dishes were also delicious. The highlight, however, was the beef short ribs. These ribs were a masterpiece - tender, juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Service was also excellent that day. What a great meal!

    While shopping at Good Fortune Market on 6th Street in Monrovia, we noticed a new Szechuan restaurant that had taken over the old Chan Kee space. After finishing our shopping, we decided to give it a try. The interior hasn't changed a bit--same as before. Service was pretty slow, though the staff was friendly enough. We ordered three dishes: spicy chicken, garlic eggplant, and Dan Dan noodles. Fair warning--they're all very very spicy! If you're a spicy lover, this place is paradise. The flavors were bold and felt authentic, packed with that signature Szechuan kick. Their menu also features classics like fish filet in spicy oil, honey duck, Kung Pao chicken, cold cuts, and more. Just be prepared to wait, as the food comes out at a very slow pace.

    Was about to do some grocery shopping next door and decided to check out this new spot -- they're known for their spicy fish soup. We ordered the Chinese Pickled Cabbage Fish Soup, which the server recommended as the least spicy option. The flavor was great, but even at the mildest level, it was still way too spicy for us. We also tried the Chicken in Chili Sauce -- it was tasty, though it had a hint of sweetness that felt a little out of place for the dish. Overall, interesting flavors and friendly service, but spice levels might be intense if you're sensitive!

    Yunxia our waitress was so accommodating and nice. The food was very authentic (very spicy and tasty). The pickled fish soup was the best dish, must try! And the Ice Jelly dessert was refreshing and cooled down my mouth from the spice!

    So delicious! If you are in the mood for spicy Szechuan cuisine, highly recommended! Staff are very friendly.

    New Szechuan Restaurant popped up in the MonArc Plaza in Monrovia. Came for dinner service with two others around 630 PM, no wait. Server brought us three menus all in Chinese (honestly wish there was an English copy as well). Ordered 6 different items off their menu. Food didn't take too long to start coming out of their kitchen. You can smell and taste fragrant spices in every dish. Top 3 items I liked were: tan tan noodles - asked for mild spice level (), stir fry pork kidney () & chicken with yuba in that rich Szechuan chili oil (). Food was spicy but manageable & delicious!

    This were my go-to spot in the Arcadia HMart food court, and I'm thrilled they now have their own location closer to where I live. The food is consistently delicious, the prices are very reasonable, and the service is exceptionally friendly. Highly recommended for anyone who loves flavorful and authentic dishes!"

    My friends and I came to Swan impression on a Sunday night around 7:30 PM. They were still pretty…read morebusy during this time and I was not surprised by it. We've been at their location in Tustin and I heard this one was better than that location I was really excited about it. Teson is really good too, so I had a pretty good expectation on this location. Upon arrival, we were immediately seated by the staff member and she was pretty efficient and on top of things. I have attached here, but the ambience is pretty lively, but also not too loud. It was an enjoyable experience where you can talk with each other and be able to hear one another. At the same time, they had a clean and classy decor to their interior design. We ordered the stirfry lamb with cumin, shredded potato, and the chili oil fish fillet. The Lamb - 5/5 was perfectly cooked and seasoned with a very nice heat to it. Be careful because this is not for those sensitive to spicy food, but if you do like spicy, this has such a nice kick to it. The shredded potato - 5/5 one of my favorite dishes to substitute for the rice. Don't be deceived by how it looks. It definitely has a kick and can numb your mouth; however, you can still taste the pickled flavor in each bite. The chilli oil fish - 5/5 one of my most favorite dishes from both locations. Although the spiciest of the dishes, you taste the flavor through each bite. The dish is perfectly cooked and just dissolves in your mouth. Overall I am extremely satisfied with our visit and recommend coming here if you're ever in the area!!

    Came by Sichuan Impression and had a pretty mixed experience overall…read more We ordered the spicy squid tentacles dry pot, which honestly was a bit disappointing. The squid tentacles were tiny, and the dish felt like it was mostly filled with mixed vegetables. For $25.99, it definitely felt a little like a rip-off. On the brighter side, the Tea Smoked Pork Rib was really good--super flavorful and probably my favorite dish of the meal. That said, most of the menu is on the pricier side, and the portions aren't very generous, so value-wise it's a bit questionable. Service was just okay. No one really checked in on us, and we had to wave our hands a few times to get attention when we needed something. Overall, solid flavors in some dishes, but the portion size and pricing hold it back from being a full 5 stars.

    Tea smoked duck! Order it! It's smoky, crispy, juicy and , savory…read more My go to order: numbing spicy chicken nuggets, stinky tofu, and duck. The spicy chicken nuggets has the right amount of numbing spice, paired with the crunch of the chicken, and filled with crispy chili pieces. The stinky tofu is fried and pairs perfectly with pungent garlic dipping sauce. The portions are generous and the price is super affordable. Most dishes range from 12.99 -15.99. The duck is around $28 for the whole duck, which is amazing in this economy. It's a small store so seating is limited. I've never personally dined in and always ordered takeout. And the boss lady that runs the front of the house? She is cool, sassy and a multi-tasking queen. You can tell she puts heart and pride into serving the customers and food. When placing the phone order, she will try to make sure that the food is ready when you arrive. And she will always say in mandarin in an almost scolding tone: "hurry up and go home and eat the food. It won't be as good if you wait to long to eat it! " Honestly...the scolding makes the food taste better.

You walk in thinking, "I'll just grab a quick bowl," and suddenly there's a noodle master stretching dough like he's training for the Olympics. Their Lanzhou-style noodles? Fresh, chewy, and honestly a little too good--they'll ruin instant ramen for you forever. The Lan noodle soup is so rich and savory. The died mixed noodle feels like a warm hug... if hugs came with chili oil and a kick that sneaks up on you. It's a small, busy spot, so yeah, you might wait--but don't worry, the line moves fast. Plus, it gives you time to emotionally prepare for choosing your noodle shape. Thin? Wide? Triangle? This is not a decision to take lightly. One wrong move and you'll be thinking about it halfway through your bowl like, "I should've gone wider."

    I like how they have expanded their menu with additional options other than simply noodle options…read more We tried their pork pan fried dumplings (3/5) since the skin was overpoweringly thick, but the filling was decent. They have a small and large sweet and sour chicken rice plate. I had gotten the small size just to try it out, but it was surprisingly good (5/5). The pork sandwich bun was decent (4/5) since the beef was tasty but the sandwich bun could be better. We also had the traditional beef noodle soups with either the wide flat and triangle ones. You can't go wrong with these freshly made pulled noodles, and they are very hearty portions. Flavor is good and the beef is very tender. The smashed cucumbers were decent also (4/5), but nothing spectacular about them. Service is very quick, attentive and pleasant. This is a good go to spot for a quick meal. The dining room doesn't seat a lot of people so try not to come during busy dining hours on weekends to avoid a long wait.
