    We are so happy to rediscover this Sichuan restaurant. On the way back to South Bay from Tahoe, wife craves for one of the best Sichuan food in the Bay Area but was disappointed when a quick web search showed it closed in the original Pleasanton location. Thanks to Yelp we found it has moved to San Ramon and drove over to have a late lunch. The decor is not as elaborate as the old location but the ambiance and service are great. All the dishes were made with care and taste genuine Sichuan style. I love the pot of soup which is the most unique and delicious. Hope to be back for another feast soon.

    We love eating at China Lounge! Their food is authentic Chinese cuisine, especially their flavorful and spicy Sichuan-style dishes. Everything we've tried is delicious, full of flavor, and very satisfying. Whenever we're craving authentic Sichuan food, this is one of our favorite places to come. We have to come back every once in a while to enjoy our favorite dishes. Definitely a great place for anyone who loves authentic, spicy, and flavorful Chinese food!

    #chinaloungesanramon The food was very fresh and delicious. We got a side of chow mein noodles. The Thai tea came with a frozen tea bear very cute. Definitely will be back to try many more menu items.

    Great food and service as we've eaten at the restaurant numerous times and would recommend to try it!

    Very nice service. We went on a Tuesday night around 7pm and the food came out extremely quickly. The taste is great and very classic Chinese tasting. We ordered light spicy and the spice level was great!

    Good quality of food and taste with generous amount. Vibe- Nice service and friendly for family/friend gathering I love their authentic flavor and I'm so thrilled knowing that they open in San Ramon since they were the best Chinese resto we always dined in when they were in Pleasanton

    Every dish taste good! Every time when we come here we will order Hui Guo Rou, a classic dish here. Highly Recommend Si Chuan Sausage , which is made by store itself!

    #chinaloungesanramon Checked out China Lounge for dinner. If you are looking for actual authentic Sichuan flavor with the proper ma la (numbing spice) rather than just standard American Chinese takeout, this place hits the mark.

    Best spicy fish in town! Every time when I crave for spicy, this is the perfect spot!

    Signature Dish - Boiling Fish

    One of my favorite places to get Chinese food in the area! I usually go here for lunch with my coworkers. The restaurant is bright and spacious - we haven't had to wait. Service has been quick as well. Our go-to dishes are: - boiling fish - mild spicy, but can be oily and heavy. They can drain the oil for you if you have leftover and take it to go. - salted egg fried rice: I don't usually order fried rice at restaurants, but this is always an exception! The pork floss, seaweed, and salted egg combination makes it very yummy - Mala fried chicken - not too spicy either. Nice mala tingles in bite size chicken pieces. Overall would recommend!

    The location used to be one of my favorite Shanghainese restaurants but it probably changed owner so it's now Sichuan food. Even before going my friend told me that there really isn't too many choices for good Chinese food around the area so my expectations wasn't that high. Even so I don't think it gives you a good value for the quality of the food. First, I know it's a Sichuan restaurant but even so it has probably the weirdest Mongolian beef I've ever had as they fried the beef. The Boiling Beef is much better but nothing to write home about. Basically everything I had was so so. The frog was not fresh. And the best is probably the cabbage dry pot which is ironic because it's literally the easiest dish. Overall for the price I would say it's worth even 3 stars. I'm giving it this rating just because this area is so lacking in Chinese food. Service is alright and I could tell right away the people working there are not from the Sichuan area. The biggest redeeming value is that they don't automatically add big tip for large group. It's however really expensive for what you get. Overall it's a restaurant that you only go if you live around the area but avoid if you live closer to better places in the Bay Area.

    It doesn't look too big from the outside but once you step in, it's very spacious. We were greeted right away and led to our seat by a friendly gentleman. The hubby was craving wonton soup and I was craving chow mein. I had to get the honey walnut prawns because it's my favorite. The soup was a bit bland for me, however it had a lot of meat and wontons to make up for it. The prawns were very delicious but the walnuts tasted a bit burnt. They forgot our noodles so we had to remind them. We will be back to try more items.

    We were looking for some Chinese food for lunch today and we came across Mandarin Delight, so we…read moredecided to give it a try. These were the dishes we tried: - Firecracker Chicken: it was deep fried chicken breast chunks tossed with spicy Sichuan peppercorns and dried chilies. Despite using chicken breast, the chunks were surprisingly tender and didn't feel dry at all. The spicy, numbing flavor really came through, but I felt like the dish was severely under salted. I think just a little more salt would've elevated the flavor completely. Also this dish wasn't spicy at all to us even though we were forewarned that it was gonna be spicy. - Spicy Basil Chicken: this dish had a flavor profile that reminded me of Thai style Basil Chicken Stir Fry, but I thought the Thai stir fry version was far superior. The flavor wasn't bad though, and what really impressed me was the chicken. The slices were so soft and tender that I couldn't believe I was eating chicken. The texture almost reminded me of fish cake, it was that tender. However, I did think the dish was a little unbalanced, with the vegetables taking up a much larger portion of the dish than the chicken. And I did think that the bell peppers were undercooked. - The House Special Chow Mein was fantastic. The flavor was smoky, savory, and slightly sweet, creating a really nice combo of flavors. The noodles were also nice and chewy and had a great bounce to them. I loved all the different toppings that came with it too, and there was also Bok Choy mixed in for some vegetables. The portion was pretty generous as well. Overall, the service was amazing. The older couple, who I assume were the owners, seemed to do pretty much everything themselves. They took our order, brought out the food, and checked on us throughout the meal. They were very hospitable and nice. The ambience was just okay... The restaurant felt a little cramped and was somewhat dark. One thing I really didn't like, though, was that the kitchen was open and right next to the dining area. I felt like all the cooking smoke and smells were drifting directly into the dining area, which wasn't particularly pleasant while we were eating.

There was never an entree I didn't love. We always ordered the salt and pepper prawns with no shell because they never over batter it and it's perfectly seasoned. You taste everything. But honestly, you'll never go wrong with whatever you order. The first time I went, probably a decade ago, I had my doubts because the staff was super nice and efficient. Usually restaurants with good staff overcompensate because the food was off, but they continue to impress even after 10 years. The inside is peaceful as well. Love the art on the walls and the soft music that plays. Bathroom is pretty clean too. Everything there is clean. I hope they come back soon, someone better write a review when they do! Since they closed due to the fire, I've been eating at all sorts of Chinese restaurants-both Americanized and traditional. But i just can't find anyone who can do food just like them with good quality ingredients and perfect flavoring.

It also has a good atmosphere too as its not a big restaurant either and still fun to sit down and eat lunch or dinner at. Which speaking of which, the deals are pretty good too especially at lunch when you can get a meal with rice, a poultry dish and soup. The same also applies to dinner too except with dinner there are good choices that you can choose for like a family dinner which is even better. This can not only help you save some money, but it can also make it easier for you to try most of everything so you can decide if you want to come back. Give it a try for sure as its right near the Trader Joe's of San Ramon.

Dining room looks very upscale for a mom and pop operation. Staff is very gracious and accommodating. I was there for a late lunch once. Watched a family of 5 walk in wanting to sit down and order. The restaurant was technically closed for a staff lunch and reset for dinner. The front door was unlocked only to let stragglers like me and another table out after finishing our meal. The server was nice and let the family stay. Great customer service isn't the only reason for the 4 stars. AW has amazing value lunch deals. Love the simple stirfries best. Healthy but tasty. Lots of quality veggies. Highly enjoyed the veggie and shrimp stirfry. The string bean beef is also yummy. My sister thinks their hot and sour soup is great. I love the crunchy woodear mushrooms while she likes the flavor. We both appreciate the kitchen not skimping on the tofu, bamboo shoots and egg. Not everything is a favorite tho. Tried the mushu for takeout once. Didn't enjoy AZ's version. Also didn't enjoy their veggie eggrolls. Wrapper was good and crispy but veggie filling was oddly mushy. Happy to find Amazing Wok as our regular neighborhood place closed recently. AW is a few miles further but it is now our "go to" Chinese American restaurant. Will gladly return to explore the extensive menu.
