I had to take the time to write a review about this restaurant... because we were so impressed by the food, and we can't wait to go back! The TLDR report is: Fantastic, delicious, plenty of high quality ingredients... and big servings! Here are the details: Last week, we popped in to get take-out for the first time. Many people may realize that this is the space that 'Los Panchos' inhabited for literally decades, so having gone there for so many years I have to say that it was a bit surreal to enter the space we'd known as the former eatery - now transformed. This new-(ish) Chinese food establishment definitely specializes in SPICY. My gosh, it's so good! As we walked in, we were greeted enthusiastically by the hostess. We planned to order food to go, we explained, so she had us get comfy at a table and we were served hot jasmine-scented tea and a dish of tasty salted peanuts which we were thankful for! The hostess had such an air of sincere hospitality. The floor-plan in the space has been completely redesigned, and now there is a ton of indoor seating for diners. The overall ambiance of the establishment is bright, acoustics are a tad loud (but fine), and there is what looks to be a little private room for banquets which I'm sure will be a hit for big groups. A TV on the wall was showing videos of food being enjoyed. So, the menu is extensive and leans wonderfully towards spicy options. Do not expect Cantonese food; that is not what they do. There are plenty of items that are less common, and there are also dishes that will make a more adventurous eater cheerful. One thing that's interesting about how the menu is organized is... there is a menu category called "Chinese-American" dishes. Most of the dishes in this category (such as Kung Pao Chicken, General Tso's Chicken, etc.) are normal to see at lots of Chinese food places, so getting a reminder that "these dishes only exist outside of China" is honestly pretty neat. We ordered Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce & Dry Cooked String Beans, plus steamed rice. The pork was such good quality -- tender, plentiful... there were tons of slivered wood-ear fungus which I LOVE... and the dish had a vibrant 'Medium' spicy level. A level of spice that will make you pay attention! The string beans were succulent! Not 'saucy'... and I mean that in a good way, for sure! So much flavor, and each bean was trimmed with care. They were tender/al-dente and bursting with concentrated goodness. It's been a week since we were there and we can't stop thinking about how good everything was. Mmmmmm. Don't expect elegant ambiance... just phenomenal food, and friendly staff! We will be back OFTEN. read more

Food: The meat inside the soup dumplings was a little too firm for my taste. I would also prefer a little more soup inside each dumpling. The skin, however, was just the right thickness. Unfortunately, they didn't have the crab soup dumplings available when we visited. The winter melon and rib soup was good, while the noodles in the beef noodle soup were a little too soft for my preference. Service: Our server, Leo, was really helpful and friendly. read more

Authentic Chinese Szechuan food at the most unlikely place. This restaurant located in a little strip mall in Pacheco and I passed by it so many times and didn't even notice it there. The food is excellent. Highly recommend the hotpot for $20, you get your pick up three meat and three veggies and it's good enough for two. Steam soup dumplings and mapo tofu were awesome as well. Service was great, the ladies who worked there kept checking up on us to make sure we have everything we need. Served us tea, water, a little plate of peanuts without even asking. I think it's safe to say you can order anything on the menu and be happy with it. The only downside/tip I have is to not sit by the door. Their door slams super hard every time someone comes in and it's very distracting, other than that fantastic place to come back read more

I ordered takeout, which was easy. The restaurant looked very clean. I think a lot of people do takeout though. My order was ready when they said it was and the whole process went smoothly. The spicy pork soup dumplings were delicious. I'm excited to try them again. The chicken chow fun was good, but could use a little bit more spice. Portions were very generous and leftovers were delicious as well. read more

Incredible food.... great friendly service. The szechuan flair is the real deal here folks. So tasty. If you are down with spicy food, this one is hard to beat. The chili fried chicken is particularly good, and I'm certainly going to be back to try other dishes. It is well deserving of its high reviews. read more

This corner restaurant always has not so good luck... but this Szechuan restaurant that is here now is actually really good! Satisfies my Chinese takeout cravings. I haven't sat inside. I typically order out but if you eat in, the ambience is cute and bright. The food is always cooked very well and packaged well for takeout. The workers are also very kind and I hope more people find out about this restaurant. I love ordering the hot and sour soup because they give you this huge container for only $10. The soup dumplings (xi long bao) are better than ones I have found in San Francisco. The main classics are all done well like honey walnut shrimp and salt and pepper fish and wontons in chili oil, green beans and mapo tofu are some favorites. It's nice not to have to drive further into Concord for good Szechuan food! read more

We were in the mood for some Chinese food this afternoon and decided to give this place a shot. We ordered the chili crispy chicken, dry fried green beans, vegetable chowmein, potstickers, and spicy pork soup dumplings. When you walk in the atmosphere is very clean and well decorated. The service was okay considering we ordered online & felt it should have been ready upon arrival. As far as flavor goes, it was a bit lacking for our preference. The chili fried chicken had a weird taste to it and it was covered so heavily in chilis there was 3Xs the amount of chilis to chicken pieces. The fried green beans were overcooked a bit, but the flavor was good, very garlicky. The vegetable chowmein was okay, a bit bland, but I did enjoy the bok choy in it. The wrapper of the dumplings and potstickers were perfectly executed, but the filling was very bland and lacked spices altogether. read more

Man we went here again and it still doesn't miss. I will say we did leave more on the slightly hungry side still compared to previous times but the food was very very good. We tried the salt and pepper tofu and the lotus root. The salt and pepper tofu was really good when we first tried it as it was both super crispy and fluffy in the middle and super flavorful. The lotus root was not what we expected, but it was nice to have a new thing. We plan to come back soon for the chili chicken, fried pork intestines for sure! read more

Have taken order togo both times at this place and both times my wife and I kept commenting at how good the food is. This time around we tried out two Szechuan dishes we're familiar with: Mapo tofu and Chongqing chicken. And both these items were great straight out of the container! I've been trying to ease up on spice due to issues I've had with my stomach but it's good to know that I can still handle the peppers from this region of China. Still, before going all in try out a small dish first to see if you can tolerate the spice. Next time we plan to eat from here, we'll try to enjoy the restaurant itself instead of getting it togo. Thank you for the awesome and tasty food! read more

Went off of the reviews and photos when selecting a place to eat. The chicken chow mein was really good, the balance between vegetables and chicken was spot on! Very flavorful! The General Tso chicken portion was plentiful! Breading was a little too thick but if they added a little more sauce I think it would have been able to mask it. Sauce was on the lighter side. This is where I was disappointed. Hot and sour soup... I looked at all the photos on other reviews (Yelp and Google) and it looked absolutely delicious! We ordered 2 orders of soup as we love hot and sour soup from other places (most places taste pretty similar). All the correct ingredients looked to be in place and the color of the soup looked correct BUT there was no flavor at all! It was like tofu and vegetables in hot water. No spice or anything. We tried both orders and to our misfortune, it was exactly the same. Overall not bad but $10 each order for hot water left a bad taste (or no taste) in my mouth about the whole order. read more

Tasty Szechuan - Not so sour Soup - Szechuan Near Me - Pacheco, California

Stopped by Tasty Szechuan for the first time and had a decent experience overall. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and well-kept, and the service was genuinely friendly and welcoming always a plus. I ordered the dumplings, chow mein, along with a few other dishes, and while everything was cooked well and nicely presented, the flavors were lacking something for my taste. Overall the service was is the reason I'm eating them a bit higher. read more

This has to be the best Chinese food I've ever had this side of the bay. I judge a lot of by a restaurants chow mein and holy shit that's better than the best one in my book in SF and Oakland Chinatown and anywhere here in the area and I've been to all numerous times hoping it's just a fluke. I just was hoping they served a little larger portion. Vivienne was our very pleasant and attentive hostess and server. The place was ridiculously clean and nice as well. Upon entrance she served us hot tea and peanuts. That was already a huge plus. We ordered almost everything under the sun and she had to try to stop us from committing a sin. This is what else we had: Chefs Special chicken wings (they're all flats too Green beans and eggplant-crispy and not soggy swimming in sauce Garlic Crab Fried Rice Wonton in Chilli Oil Chinese Beef Roll- Honey walnut prawns-very flaky, crispy I feel like I hit the lotto with this place as everything was exactly what the name of the joint is called. My absolute new favorite Chinese Restaurant. Can't wait to come back to order the Lamb Cumin and the chili oil fish. It worried I'm going to want the other dishes. read more

Ordered via Grubhub. Markup was obscene. Broccoli beef was good. Way too much rice. No soy sauce, napkins or utensils. Thought i was ordering from the restaurant on Treat Blvd Will not make that mistake again. read more

We ordered delivery directly from Tasty Szechuan. The food arrived on time with a super-friendly delivery experience, and way cheaper than UberEats. I had heard the food was good, but wow. We tried the Mongolian Beef (which was by far the best I've EVER had), the Szechuan Chicken, which was amazing with lots of chilis, the Garlic Eggplant (delicious), and finally some XLB. Fantastic flavors and perfect preparation. So glad to have this restaurant closeby! read more

Good quality food, great price, great service. My son loves this place. The best salt and pepper fish I have ever had! And the service crew is soooo nice! They entertained my son and gave him ice Fanta orange juice because my son tried speaking in Mandarin... WHEN SUPPORTING LOCAL BUSINESS BECOMES EASY BECAUSE LOCAL BUSINESS IS AWESOME. read more

We needed a change and this was it! The food is yummy! The Mongolian beef was spiced just right, the fried rice, perfect. But the salt and pepper chicken and the chicken in chili was SCREAMIN GOOD! So far everything we've had has been top notch. I highly recommend Tasty Szechuan. read more

Had lunch with my husband and daughter and it was actually pretty good . We ordered the chicken fried rice, and I was surprised how chunky the chicken was and it wasn't greasy at all. The chow fun was delicious, and the Mongolian beef had a nice flavor without being overwhelming. The server even brought us some sweet and sour soup on the house, which was really nice and honestly, one of my husband's favorite parts. Overall, good portions, tasty food, and a chill vibe. Definitely want to go back. read more

Everything was amazing! This is a little gem in the area and I hope more people will give it a shot. Easy ordering with QR code menus and friendly staff. read more

I don't know what took me so long to write a review, but here it is. My husband found this place when it first opened. He loved it so much he took me there. We love it so much we now go all the time. The people that work there are so sweet and so friendly, which is a plus, but the food keeps bringing us back. IT'S AMAZING! Last night I found my new favorite, Beef and Soft Tofu in Chili Sauce. OMG! Best thing I've eaten all year. Do yourself a favor and try Tasty Szechuan. You won't be disappointed. read more

Polite staff, but not very helpful with ordering. Portion size was good for chicken dish and chow mein style noodles. I was disappointed in the two appetizers. The BBQ pork bun had a weird (off taste), and the shrimp/pork steamed dim sum wasn't as tasty as expected. Hopefully, this was just my experience, and other guests will have a better meal. read more

Tasty Szechuan has opened where Los Panchos used to be, and where fake Los Panchos that took over after, used to be. It's right next door to Mama's Lumpia, which people often will walk into Tasty Szechuan by mistake. If this name sounds familiar to some of you, because it's not the only Tasty Szechuan that is in our area, albeit, the other one is a bit of a drive away down in Clayton, but not that far away. However, the two locations are quite different decor wise, as this location feels nicer, albeit a lot smaller, and the lighting is just better as the other location just felt really old, and not to mention, the booth seats were literally falling apart last time I was at that location, so I'm fine with this improved decor. The menu for both places are basically the same. They have plenty of sichuan dishes to offer on the menu, while also having same basic dishes to choose from such as the basic Chinese restaurant dishes marked under "Chinese American Food", and then the more traditional stuff on the menu elsewhere. I feel most of the menu was alright. I've ordered a variety of things on it, and they were good, so no complaints. The part of the menu that shines here, and unexpectedly, are actually their soup dumplings and their pan fried buns, which I did not really expect since they're not a specialty restaurant, but these have been my favorites here thus far. The soup buns here are very soupy, so just make sure to be prepared to deal with the juices flowing out when you eat each one. If they don't bring you a spoon to eat it on, make sure to ask for one. The soup dumpling skins here though are a bit thicker than other places, which makes it easier to pick up, but for some may make it feel a bit doughier than they'd like, but I don't have complaints since it's better than ones that are too thin and then it breaks and all the soup just falls out. At the very least, you don't have to worry about that here, and there's plenty of soup/juices inside each one. The pan fried buns here are very good, and probably one of the better ones in this area, and compared to most of the other dumpling places around. Often times, pan fried buns, particularly the ones that are fried from the top of the bao down on the pan, are not great. They become dry, they're too doughy, or they're just not made well. The ones here have a lot of juices in there, and if I were to argue, may perhaps even be the true soup dumpling here as there's more juices in these than the soup buns. Definitely make sure to eat these with a spoon as well, and be super careful where you're aiming this thing. Tasty Szechuan is a nice addition to this area, where there's really no decent Chinese food immediately here. There had been Hop Sing's for the longest time here, but that wasn't exactly good since it was a take out spot. While you can certainly find other Chinese food if you drive 5-10 minutes in various directions, in this immediate area this is probably your best option. The cost is also not too expensive, and portions are generally pretty good here. The dough stuff I do feel stands out here, even if it didn't mean to. The staff here are friendly and nice, though not always super attentive depending on who is there. Overall, solid spot for anybody looking for good Sichuan food, but I feel the American Chinese Food here are just okay. The beef noodle soup was alright too, but still feel like the dumplings and buns stands out more. read more

I got the spicy fried chicken that was mixed with hot chili peppers. It wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be given that the dish was scary looking with the amount of peppers. The chicken was perfectly fried. The service was quick and friendly. I was the only one there and was treated like royalty! read more

My wife had a huge craving for Chinese food right after our Yosemite trip and this place really hit the spot. The food was spot on, just the way i would want my Chinese food cooked. Clean tasting and not overly greasy nor salty. Shout out to the chef. Furthermore, the owners here are very friendly, they even changed the programming to cartoons on their television for my toddler! The environment is very comfortable and cozy at the same, makes you want to linger around, i am a fan! Fyi. They do have a second location over in Concord, but this one is now the closest one to us. read more

I heard about the grand opening of this new restaurant so we wanted to check it out! We received a very warm welcome from the staff who were quick to get us a high chair for our baby, and promptly got us menus and served us tea. This evening they also had a BBQ going outside and there were serving skewers. We ordered a lamb one and be a shrimp one. They came by later to ask if we wanted them spicy. I said yes for the lamb, but no for the shrimp which was for our son, but they both arrived spicy. We ordered the Honey Walnut Shrimp which was fantastic! The shrimp were humongous and they gave us a generous portion. This is one of my favorite Chinese-American dishes and this version did not disappoint. I would definitely order this dish again! We ordered the pan fried pork dumplings: These were good, but not as good as I've had at other places. They were juicy, but not quite as well seasoned. We ordered sui mai which were good, but it's not my favorite dish so I don't have lots of notes about it. I'm neutral on this dish. It was good, but not terribly memorable. I will say that they were making the dumplings on site!!! There's a window at the back of the restaurant and you can watch them roll out and handmake the dumplings. It was awesome. My son loved that experience! He is also wild about dumplings so to see how they were made was very cool. Everything tasted fresh and it's very refreshing to know they are making these on site and they aren't frozen like at some other places. We ordered General Xiao Chicken. This dish was plentiful, and the pieces of chicken were huge and looked like actual pieces of chicken. I really appreciate that! However, the seasoning on this was a little lackluster. I wouldn't order this dish again. We tried to order Chow Fun, but they actually told us when we were ordering that if we spent $50, the chow fun was free! Hats off to our server for telling us this while we were ordering! So we decided to order one more dish and get the chow fun for free. We ordered the Garlic Eggplant which was good! The beef Chow Fun (free!) was delicious too. I love noodles. We also ordered one portion of rice. For the grand opening, they were taking 20% off the bill too! It was awesome! We were thinking we would have had lots of leftovers, but we actually only went home with a small portion of the eggplant and chicken! So, yes, everything was good! This restaurant is very kid friendly. The staff were really sweet and loved our kids which always makes dining so much easier (if you're a parent, you know what I'm talking about). I would definitely come back here! There were more dishes I wanted to try like the cold noodle dish! I wish them all the best on their opening and look forward to coming again. read more

Just tried this place for the first time today. Ordered the chow mein and the wonton soup. Both were amazing. 9/10. Restaurant is clean, staff is friendly. They gave me peanuts and hot tea while I waited for my to-go order. We will definitely be putting this place in our line up. :) read more

Found a new Szechuan style restaurant and decided to give it a try. Come to find out this is their third location so apparently they're doing pretty good I guess.

Close to my work and decided to do a takeout order. I usually get the beef chow fun (my fav) then I noticed they didn't charge extra if I wanted shrimp, so decided to go with that instead. I also got their lunch social, chicken and green beans, which comes with white rice and an egg roll. The food was very fresh and tasted very flavorful. The portion size of the lunch special was very nice too. I finished the rice but had half of the chicken and green beans, so I'll just make another meal out of it. The chow fun was good and the sharp was fresh and plumb and it snapped when biting into it. You know that is fresh. Overall, I would go back again and try their other items. read more

From service, cleanliness & quality of food, everything was great! The first time that we went, we ate in the restaurant and had an excellent meal experience and the second, third & fourth times were all takeout only because we were short on time. The amount of food, seasoning, and the quality/freshness are their standout best points. This is definitely one of our favorite restaurants and the owners & staff are so nice! The variety and offerings that we've tried are all so tasty & we always look forward to our meals from here. We will continue to support them & hope that you will, too . read more

Great service, the host led us right to our table and made us comfortable with some fresh lemon water and peanuts. We were offered the menu in three different ways and scanned a QR code to order, making it very efficient. The food looked very appetising when it came and tasted amazing too, it was so filling. My boyfriend and I also ordered the wonton soup but I forgot to picture that one, it was amazing as well. Overall great spot, will come back for some spicy szechuan read more

I was in the area and decided to try this places. It seem to be pretty new. It was overall very great experience got seated immediately for their lunch. They do have a lunch offering until 3 PM. I tried there at General's chicken, which came with rice, an egg roll, and hot and sour soup. For about $15 it's a great value. Easy parking in the parking lot right outside and service was also amazing inside. I think this is a great place to get your Chinese fix! The inside is very clean and new. Menu is pretty big as well from traditional cuisine to American Chinese food. They have it all. read more

The food here is so fresh and high quality. Ordered the orange chicken and the sauce has literal marmalade orange in it, looks homemade. Pan fried dumplings are as good as the dumpling restaurants nearby. We always order the chicken moo shu as well, which is not on the menu but they will make it for you. Best moo shu anywhere around. Scallion pancakes are delicious as well. My daughter is a picky eater and I have taken her and other kids here and they love the beef noodle soup. Also, the chow mein is so fresh and delicious. Very clean inside as well and the staff are all so sweet! Definitely should try this place. read more

Not impressed! I ordered the General Cho Chicken lunch special came with a roll & u opted for the fried rice. The chicken was no where near spicy, not even a kick of spice & left a nasty taste afterwards. The fried rice wasn't bad & the roll was ok. This was my first time there, staff was very short, not the best customer service skills. I got my order to go, which took a little too long for my liking. read more
