Came in with a large group and got to sample a bit of everything--perfect way to experience the menu. The fried chicken was a crowd favorite, and anything with flower pepper really stood out with bold, numbing flavor. Tried pork ear for the first time, and it was surprisingly good--nicely seasoned with chili oil and had a great texture. We also had lamb, spicy roasted fish, tofu, and a variety of vegetables--everything was well-executed and full of flavor. Great spot for sharing dishes and trying something new. read more

in such a competitive restaurant environment now in LA, it's no longer acceptable (not that it really ever was) to excuse bad service for good food. we came in around 8:20pm to dine in and was immediately greeted by the male server saying "pickup?" I should've taken this gesture immediately as an unwillingness to seating us. I responded with no, party for 2, and another lady comes running over and says "but we close at 9" in which I responded, I'm well aware, but can we still order? they both responded with yes so i said okay can we seat? in which she responded with again, "but we close at 9." really not sure what's up with the people running this restaurant, but if you don't want the business or if you just want to close earlier, then do that. there are plenty of sichuan places in the SGV (and quite honestly probably better tasting) than this place. take your business elsewhere. PS - also seeing recent yelp reviews about trending terrible service, please just run from this place. if they don't want your business, don't force your time and money down their throats. i'm not interested in eating bloody chicken anyways. read more

Good place to get spicy food ! I would recommend you here ! It used to be in h mart food court in case u didn't know ! Great service

Great food here! My fav was the eggplant, but I was happy with every thing I got here. Definitely looking forward to my next meal here soon!

Great authentic Szechwan food! Good service! I stopped by this place and ordered the Cumin Lamb with rice and it did not disappoint. The meat was fresh, tender, velvety, and aromatic with cilantro, red pepper, and onion. The spice had a nice savory kick that you would expect from Szechwan food, but not overwhelming. The ambiance was down-to-earth and no-nonsense--ideal for a great place to savor some authentic eats done right! You can't go wrong by eating here. Much recommended! Check it out. read more

Szechwan Kitchen - Cumin Lamb with Rice, 05JUL25 - Asian Fusion Near Me - Covina, California

this food tastes a little delicious. What's not good is that it's a little dry. But I still recommend that you can taste it.

Szechuan kitchen has a lot of great options on their menu so choose wisely! The servers were very patient with us as well as I could not make up my mind on what I wanted. read more

Szechwan Kitchen - 12/7/24 Spicy Lamb On Bamboo Stick- and chicken and vegetables - Asian Fusion Near Me - Covina, California

Extremely Rude Service and Poor Food Quality!!! I used to order from SeaChuan Kitchen (West Covina) several times in the past, but my experience today was the last straw. When I called to order, I politely asked about the fat content of certain dishes like 回锅肉 (twice-cooked pork) and cumin lamb. I simply wanted to know if the meat would be mostly lean, and even said it's fine as long as it's within a reasonable range (about 1/3 fat). Instead of answering professionally, the woman on the phone became impatient and dismissive. She told me "you can't choose" and "if you care so much, don't order." Then she abruptly hung up, saying they were closing -- even though I was already placing my order. This is not the first bad experience: * Several times the fish was not fresh and had a sour, spoiled smell. When I asked, I was told "酸菜鱼 (pickled fish) is supposed to smell like that." * Their (grilled fish) was also not fresh, and the bones were still stuck to the flesh. * Chicken dishes arrived undercooked, with visible blood. The combination of poor food quality and extremely rude customer service is unacceptable, especially in the U.S. where customers expect respect and basic professionalism. I will not be ordering from here again, and I recommend others think twice before spending money at this restaurant. read more

I've never actually been inside this spot, but the food never fails. The seafood soup gets me every time! Delish!!!

This is probably the best Chinese restaurant in the Covina area. I have family that lives in the Chino Hills area and we all unanimously agree this is the place for mapo tofu, toothpick lamb, and a ton of other Chinese staples. We came here for Christmas Day lunch and I could not be more impressed. The staff speaks both mandarin and Cantonese. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to have authentic Chinese food in the Covina area read more

Szechwan Kitchen houses the best 辣烤鱼 Spicy Roasted Fish I've ever had here in the states! The 辣烤鱼 Spicy Roasted Fish dish is a staple where I'm from in China and the chefs at Szechwan Kitchen do it's justice and sprinkle magic dust on it or something! My boyfriend actually discovered Szechwan Kitchen for me to try their authentic Szechwan dishes a while ago a while ago and we knew we had to come back for a dine-in experience. You see, we just spent a whole day snowboarding and wanted something hot and delicious. We were coincidentally just around the corner when we got off the freeway and we pulled right into the driveway! Other than the 辣烤鱼 Spicy Roasted Fish dish, we also got their Steamed Pork with Pumpkin, rice to pair with the dishes, and (2) Honey Lemon Teas. They all were absolutely delish! Talk about the best meal to have after a hard day's work of snowboarding and having fun. We were both pleasantly surprised by how good the Honey Lemon Tea's were. The drink had quite an excellent sweet and sour taste. It has been one of the best memories from my childhood and it was brought back to me - all in one piece! Run, don't walk, to Szechwan Kitchen - give this authentic Szechwan Kitchen a try! read more

SK has become one of my favorite spots to order lunch. The food is made to order and is always oh so fresh. As you wait for your order you can hear the chef work their magic by the sound of sizzling pans and quick movements paired with the aroma of garlic and all sorts of goodness!! This is a commotion you want to be a part of! The lunch specials are reasonable and very tasty allowing you to sample several dishes. The food is delicious and the owners are friendly. #ShopLocal. #ILoveMom&Pops read more

Real authentic Chinese food and it's family owned which is what makes it even more special

Food was really tasty. A little spicy for me but spiciness can be reduced if requested. All the dishes we had pictured were delicious. Surprisingly the cucumber dish was probably one of my favorites. Service was great. Portions sizes huge. Good parking and ample seating (atleast when we went). Highly recommend! read more

I order food from here a few days ago and it was completely spoiled nasty and disgusting smell, worst food every how can you sell food like this to people what is wrong with you, if I would've finished the food I would've ended up in the hospital with food poisoning.NEVER ORDER FOOD HERE! read more

Szechwan Kitchen is a very good Chinese restaurant in the Covina Area. I wish it was closer to where I live and I would definitely visit more often. You can either order to go or dine in. If you order to go from the app, you get 10% off. You can order dine in from the app, but you don't get 10% off. This is one of the places where you come for the food and not for the service. A lot of the utensil and napkins are on a table in the center where people can pick up to-go orders. So if you need something along the lines of utensil, you can grab it there. They don't really check on you to see if you need anything . When I came here and wanted water, they sold me a bottle of water. It's not complementary in a cup with ice or anything like that. Literally will sell you a bottle of water. So if you don't mind buying over priced water, go ahead. You can bring your own water as well. I think the best dish I had here was the Kung Pao Chicken. It was really flavorful, tender, and I enjoy it when they cook with the peppers and onions. Not a fan of just chicken and chili. It pairs great with a bowl of rice (that you have to pay extra for). Rice isn't free, but it comes pretty tall, like one bowl of rice is stacked up high so it's like two giant scoops of rice in one bowl. The restroom here is pretty dirty. Like dark and dimly lit and dirty. Parking for this place isn't too bad, there are a few spots in the front of the restroom and there is a shared parking lot. Overall, good food, no service. read more

Mapo Tofu is fire! So good. One of the best local spots. Super authentic. Also recommend the green beans.

I was actually very surprised on the meal I got for lunch. I really was expecting an "American" version of Chinese food but was surprised to see that the meal was an authentic cuisine from southern China. My pork belly dish was sauteed vegetables which included onions and bell peppers with savory chili oil tossed over the plate. The $10.99 lunch special came with the entree, white rice, soup and an egg roll. I will definitely come back again! read more

I've been to this restaurant 2 times before. I recommend it to my Airbnb guest and it's part of Airbnb host recommendations. As a gal who was from China, I have to say it's pretty authentic Szechuan meals. It's not completely transferred to western style. You just need to pick the meals with 3 spice signs to really get it. read more

Probably the only takeout I've had that didn't make me feel bloated and gross. Their portion sizes are ample and their flavors are delicious. Will be returning for more of their beef broccoli! read more

I found this gem from DoorDash and at first I only order one dish. The next day I ordered three dishes and they were amazing. I ordered the Chongqing Fried Chicken, Beef Broccoli, and Sauteed String Beans. The Chongqing Fried Chicken was named popcorn chicken, or deep fried boneless chicken with spice in other restaurants. It was delicious. The chicken was crunchy, tasty and did not covered in oil/ chili oil. It was mixed with Ma La and bits of onions and gingers. It was very good. The beef broccoli also very tender. The string bean was perfect, not to salty. All these three orders were not oily at all, different than most sichuan chinese restaurants. read more

Best Sichuan food in LA. Although this is away from Rosemead and San Gabriel but close enough but this place is great. Staff has changed in the last 5 years, but overall this is a good find. Definitely recommend: House Special Fish, Shredded Potatoes. I am a regular here. read more

The restaurant is very clean, including the kitchen area from what I saw thru their back door. I enjoyed the spicy noodles with no meat. Their spicy taste was not too spicy for those who like mild Szechwan flavor, and not too salty. The service were great and pleasant. A new looking Szechwan cuisine to go to! read more

We usually enjoy Cantonese style cuisine and happen to find Szechwan Kitchen in the location we were visiting on a Sunday afternoon. The food that we ordered, 5 different dishes, was seasoned to our taste--not spicy and not salty and everyone was pleased and delighted by the taste (seasonings were a good mix of various spices). The service couldn't be more caring--they want to cook to your specifications and the ambiance was very nice. Thank you, Szechwan Kitchen, for a great experience with Szechwan style cooking. read more

The walnut shrimp tasted funny, I have never seen it come out that yellow orange color, it was overly sweet with a strange after taste. The orange chicken had a nice crunch but no flavor, the chicken fried rice was decent needed some seasoning. Overall the food was greasy and nothing to come back for. The best item we tried was the beef with scallions & the noodles. read more

If you like being ignored this is the place for you! The food was good not great, but good. I think they rely on the chili peppers and spices to cove the fact that the food was bland. It's a nice place, just wish they were more welcoming read more

Food is good , we like it. But when check out they already put the tips in the bill and don't notify the client. We still put the tips and they didn't show us the original bill. They reply to us even we write the check they don't charge in their end. 我们每次去都是给15-18% 的小费，但是他们把消费直接加在账单上并且不提醒客人，我问他们我们之前都写了小费，他们的回答是说这个他们不收取，但是他们并没有提醒我们。 建议去的客人查看账单。 read more

When you walk into the restaurant you can feel the cleanliness. This says a lot to me especially with establishments handling food. The service was good and the food was served relatively quickly. Good value for the money and food was tasty! If you like spice this is the place for you, if you do not like spice make sure to tell them to make the dishes mild! Nothing to complain about, i would recommend everyone try this place. read more

Called and the guy didn't even seem concerned or shocked. He said he'd give me a voucher, but my honest truth it wasn't that good. It was okay and can live without. Thanks Szechwan Kitchen! Update: Szechwan Kitchen reached out and refunded the wrong plates. I appreciate the effort. read more

Tried two dishes today. One is a regular, spicy boiled fish, and the other was a new one we wanted to try which was the Kung Pao chicken from their lunch special menu. Not sure what makes its a lunch special though. It didn't come with soup or anything, just the dish so unless it's a price difference for lunch portion, I don't know the difference. It was tasty though. A little sweet for my taste, but it did have a good balance of sweet and spicy. The go to dish here is spicy boiled dishes. Have tried two so far, the one with fish only and the one with fish and beef (two kinds). Fish is tender and spicy broth is great on rice. Clears the sinuses too if you need it The other options are fresh fish and beef only. Although I enjoyed the beef, fish is the stand out which is why I ordered fish only this time. As for the fresh fish option, I'll have to try that next time but understand that the bones are included in this version so will have to ready to work for my food. read more
