Chuan Fu is a recurring place for me. It has been very consistent with it's great food and overall experience. The service is very accommodating and let me sit outdoors this time. Even though I was outside, they were still very attentive and made sure we were taken cared of. This time I ordered the Szechuan dumplings and the sweet and sour pork. The dumplings were amazing. The pork inside was incredibly flavorful and perfect to eat as an appetizer. The pork was also great. The crunch was light and the taste was exactly as expected. Once again, I'll vouch for how good this place and will continue to be a place I always recommend. read more

Stopped by here as I was craving sichuan food. We ordered the classic mapo tofu, Dan Dan mian, and roasted duck. All 3 were delicious! My bf found the duck to be a bit dry, but I loved it as it wasn't too greasy or heavy. Dipped in the cumin spice mix it comes with makes for a delicious savory combination. The mapo tofu was also wonderful with ample pork to give the saltiness and the mala spice was perfectly balanced. I also liked the Dan Dan noodles but would've preferred a bit more pork and sauce. Definitely give it a go! read more

Great atmosphere for a group dinner! The staff at Chuan Fu is attentive and fast. The Shuizhu whole fish is a must-try for spice lovers--perfectly cooked and flavorful. My wife's Short Rib and Shrimp Hot Pot was equally impressive, specifically the tender ribs and the crispy lotus chips. Everyone left happy. We will definitely be back. Key Dish Shoutouts: Shuizhu Whole Fish: Tender, plump, and packs a serious spicy punch. Short Rib & Shrimp Hot Pot: Fall-off-the-bone meat, perfectly spiced shrimp, and great crunch from the lotus chips. read more

Food and service was 10/10 I went with my family out to dinner here. I highly recommend! The food, service and ambiance was enough to come back. The pan fried wontons were sooo flavorful and crispy. The Szechuan wontons are my favorite, the perfect heat, flavor and the softness from the noodle is mouth watering perfection. General Tso's chicken was fresh and actually had more chicken than breading ratio. Which is a strong plus. Only thing is next time I'll ask for more of the heat in the General Tso's to be spicer. read more

Chuan fu does Sichuan justice! Everything we got was super flavorful and the perfect amount of spice. Their menu has such a wide variety and I want to try them all! Literally everything we got was so delicious. I was a little worried that everything would be the same flavor considering they're all spicy and in some sort of chili sauce, but they each have their own distinct flavor. read more

I generally eat at the strip mall Chinese fast food places, but sometimes I want to sit down and have a nice quality meal in a nice atmosphere with proper table service. I happened to find Chuan Fu as I was with my wife at her doctor and we were craving Chinese after her appointment. I found this place and decided to give it a try. We went for a late lunch; we were the only ones in the restaurant. We were greeted and seated with a smile. We were given menus and water, and we both requested tea; our server brought us each a pot. We perused the menu, and I ordered Hot & Sour Soup, which I always use as a reference on how the food will be. I ordered General Tao Chicken, and my wife had Beef with Hot Pepper. I was intrigued by the "Signature" Pork Fried Rice, so I ordered that as well. had me and was phenomenal! Off to a great start! Then the mains came, delicious and fresh! The fried rice was very different, and very good- you could taste the cured pork! My wife's beef was delicious as well. The portions were huge and we both took a to go box home with us. The menu is quite extensive and we will definitely be back to try more! read more

My family and I have been to Chuan Fu in Winter Park, Florida 3 times now, and each visit has been such a good experience. We really enjoy coming here together because the food is always authentic, flavorful, and satisfying. We ordered the fish, beef, shrimp, tofu, hot pot, fungus salad, and kidney, and everything was absolutely delicious. Every dish tasted fresh and full of authentic flavor. The hot pot was especially comforting, and we loved having so many different dishes to share as a family. It is always nice finding a restaurant that feels special and stays consistent each time you visit. We highly recommend Chuan Fu if you are looking for delicious, authentic food to enjoy with family. read more

We went back a 2nd time for a date night! Even better! Plus, we tried a new meal! We went on a Sunday night since we had Monday off and the restaurant wasn't busy at all. Plenty of parking this time around and we sat down immediately. I highly suggest coming on a Sunday. The staff was great and we had a wonderful time! We got three things and ended up paying around $70. read more

I've heard a lot of good things about this place so I came to check it out with my friend for dinner. The inside of the restaurant is nice and clean. Our server was so nice and helpful explaining the menu to us. We ordered the Sichuan Wontons and the Beef w Hot Pepper. The wontons here were so good! I wish we ordered more. We enjoyed the Beef as well, it had good flavor. It was a tiny bit chewy though. I do want to come back here and try some of their other menu items. If you come here make sure to order the wontons! read more

We stopped by Chuan Fu for an early, easy dinner around 5-ish, and the place was pretty empty when we arrived. By the time we were leaving, it was completely packed which says a lot. The service was great from start to finish, and the food was even better. We ordered some wings, sesame chicken, and house special fried rice, and everything was delicious. Each dish was full of flavor and so yummy. This is definitely a place we'll be coming back to. We're excited to try more from the menu next time. read more

Nice atmosphere and EXCellent food. My husband's sizzling beef --which had no intention of eating--was delicious and I ate more of it than intended. Similarly, the twice-cooked pork that one of our table=mates ordered was delicious. The green beans were excellent and I very much enjoyed my Ma Po Tofu though it was spicy! Kung Pao chicken is good everywhere so it didn't stand out quite as much. We also got mixed veggies for the table which were helpful in terms of mixing the spicier food with. I will be going back to try the Cauliflower pot and I will get many of these items again. The best Chinese meal I have had in a long time. read more

Love the Sichuan flavors here. Spicy beef and chicken are fire. Love the chili wonton. Had the cold pork belly in chili oil for the first time and it was awesome. We got here Saturday around 530, seated right away, but after that the line started to build. For lunch the service has always been superb, during the busy dinner rush they got behind a little, but not a big deal. Everyone is very helpful and friendly. read more

I did not like the food here. Many Chinese restaurants will marinate beef with baking soda to tenderize it, and it creates an almost velvety texture to the beef. However, the beef here was marinated with way too much baking soda. The beef felt too squishy and had no chew, and the texture was a bit nauseating. The flavors here were also extremely reliant on sodium and MSG. Everything was really salty. read more

Best fried rice? You're looking at it! This is the only restaurant in town serving cured pork fried rice. It's a simple looking dish, but that cured pork adds a bold, smoky flavor and aroma like no other. I've ordered this dish numerous times, and it's a dish I never get tired of. It pairs well with other dishes as well, one of my favorites being their stir-fried shredded pork with bamboo shoots. Salty, savory, and perfectly nuanced by bell peppers and bamboo shoots, I typically order this dish to go since the quality remains the same whether you eat on site or microwave it the next day. I also like to order their cold cut couple, which is a cold dish consisting of beef tender, beef tripe, and beef shank in chili oil, topped with cilantro and peanuts. While the dish may be soaked in chili oil, don't let appearances fool you. It's not spicy at all, but is packed full of rich umami flavor that goes really well on rice. read more

We came hungry, left happy, and maybe just a little bit numbed by chili oil (in the best way possible). We ordered a TON of food to sample. 夫妻肺片 - Sliced Beef & Ox Tongue in Chili Sauce Yes, it literally translates to "Husband and Wife Lung Slices" (romantic, right?). But don't worry,it's beef tendon and tripe, not lungs. Cold, spicy, tangy, and salty. Basically Florida's answer to air conditioning in appetizer form, incredibly refreshing. Chili Oil Wontons (Michelin Bib Gourmand) These little pockets of joy lived up to the hype. Not too spicy, just the right numbing kick, with a vinegar tang that made me want to drink the sauce straight. Honestly, I'd swim in it. 水煮鱼片 - Fish Fillet in Spicy Broth Childhood comfort food unlocked. The white fish is so tender it basically melts, soaking up that hotpot-like broth. Spicy, flavorful, and a hug in a bowl, if hugs came with chili oil. Cabbage Tofu Soup Simple, light, and refreshing. The perfect palate cleanser after swimming through a sea of Szechuan oil. Stir-Fried Pork Chitterlings Don't let the name scare you, these are crunchy, chewy, spicy, and absolutely addictive. They managed to take out the "funk" and keep all the flavor. Probably my favorite bite of the night. My wife, who normally doesn't like chitterling dishes, actually enjoyed this. Crispy Duck Meal Here's where my taste buds split. The duck was well-cooked, crispy, and paired nicely with the sweet chili and pepper dips. But it leaned oily and a bit gamy for me. Not bad at all, just not my preference compared to the Cantonese roasted versions I usually prefer. Definitely encourage you to try it for yourself as this is another popular dish here. The Service Shout-out to our server, who was incredibly kind, attentive, and gave spot-on recommendations that made the meal even better. The food was amazing, but the service made the whole experience shine. The Price The dishes are definitely meant to be shared between 2-3 people but can still seem a little pricier than other Chinese places. I personally think it is totally worth it because of the quality and authenticity of the food. It's seriously hard to find authentic Szechuan dishes executed this well in Orlando so id gladly pay these prices. Final Verdict Other than the duck, every dish here was the best version I've had in Orlando. Solid 5/5 across the board, duck gets a respectful 3.5/5 but executed well with great technique. If you're like my wife and don't really eat much rice, some dishes might lean salty. Most Chinese food was made to be paired with rice to balance the saltiness, so just keep that in mind. Definitely taking friends and family here whenever they visit and adding it to our regular rotation. read more

Loved the food. My favorite is the Sichuan wontons, pea shoots and Twice cooked pork. The duck wasn't what I thought it was going to be but just ok. The server was helpful with the menu and suggestive. The restaurant was big , clean and decorated as themed. I totally recommend coming here. The food isn't too spicy unless you want to be. read more

My review is solely based upon our experience at the location as the atmosphere we were not prepared for. We had made a reservation for Wednesday night around 6:30 and when we arrived, the large main dining area was rented out to a group of 50+ people. While they had outdoor seating and a few tables in the back of the restaurant available, the noise from the group made it incredibly hard to have a conversation. Not to mention the group was using a microphone. They do have a pretty eclectic menu and our server was friendly, but was also catering to the larger group. We opted to do something that was a little bit more traditional so I got the Kung Po chicken and my friend got the fried noodles with chicken. Both meals were definitely large portions as we were both able to bring leftovers home. We did get the potstickers and really enjoyed those. They are filled with pork. There's a lot of construction going on in this area and the parking lot was really disorganized because of it. They are building a parking garage which hopefully will alleviate some of the parking challenges but definitely give yourself time if you have dinner reservations in this area as finding a parking spot can be a challenge as there are several other restaurants and a hotel that all share the same lot read more

Chuan Fu 川府 - Potstickers - Chinese Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Bottom line: Great flavors for all six dishes that we ordered. Our party of four chose to stay on the mild side of the heat profile since we dined family style, and half of the group was unable to enjoy the spice. One appetizer I returned to for seconds and thirds - Sliced Beef & Ox Tongue with Chili Sauce - came in first for the spiciest and my favorite. The Cloud Ear Fungus definitely took first for most unusual for its texture although the flavor was mild. Sizzling Beef featured plenty of fresh, crisp veggies and nicely marinated, thin sliced beef. I'd really like to return to this dish with more heat. The other three dishes, Stir-Fried Pea Shoots with Garlic, Kung Pao Chicken, and Tofu with Crab Roe rounded out our meal as solid choices. We enjoyed the service - knowledgeable, helpful, and the amount of attentiveness. Plenty of seating with linen tablecloths and a single large round table for large families or groups are available. While I'm not an expert on Sichuan flavors, it did not stop me from enjoying the great food, service, and company. read more

Finally stumbled into this delicious authentic Asian spot on Orlando Ave on a quiet Wednesday night. Our server Oscar was kind and made excellent recommendations. Allowed us time to review the menu without rushing us even though we were there about an hour before closing. Everything we had was flavorful, spicy, hot in temperature and appetizing in presentation. Our date night included vegetable spring rolls, the pork wontons, king pao chicken and shrimp and short rib hot pot Minus one star because the shrimp was not properly cleaned and for me it was off-putting. my husband ate it and I stuck to the short rib and veggies . read more

Had dinner here for the first time after my friends kept raving about it. They literally come every week for dinner to the point of the staff knowing who they are. We decided to have a birthday dinner here and I must say the staff was so sweet and accommodating. We had brought a cake and balloons and they were so gracious in housing the cake in the fridge for us. When the time came, they brought it out on a cart with a candle and sang for us! Great staff!!! Now onto the food, very thing we ordered was fantastic. We ordered typical Chinese-American dishes because of the company we were with but that didn't take away from the delicious food we had. It was 4 of us and we ordered 6 dishes! Everything came out piping hot! Favorites of the table were the sizzling beef, dry fried green beans and chicken wings! We will be back! Definitely saw a lot more that we wanted to try our next visit! Also, the restaurant was so beautiful and I love that there were outdoor seating and a bar! read more

5 stars for great service and delicious food. I have to give a special shout out to the servers for accommodating our large party for my birthday celebration. I had bookmarked Chuan Fu since they opened and couldn't wait to check it out for my birthday. After reading all the positive reviews and the recommendation from my fellow yelper friends I was pretty excited! To start we ordered potstickers and the highly recommended cucumber salad. Both were yummy and believe the reviews. We also tried different Sichuan style dishes and they were all very delicious. My personal favorite (not pictured) was the cumin beef. This dish was just everything - the flavor, the vegetables, everything was perfect. I also tried the Sichuan style beef tenderloin and it was equally good. One thing to keep in mind is that some of the dishes are mildly spicy. To finish, the restaurant gave me a birthday treat (chinese doughnuts) and it was good. All in all I had a great experience and recommend this restaurant. I also would suggest making a reservation before coming as it is very popular. read more

Hands down best Szechuan food in Orlando! Was recently put on to this place by my friends and we've been going here non stop ever since.

Love that Chuan Fu is providing good authentic Sichuan food to Orlando. The dishes are very flavorful, with just the right pop of heat from the chilies and the numbness from the peppercorns. Service is friendly, fast, and efficient. Ambiance is also beautiful and spacious. I do wish portion sizes were just a little larger. While a family of four will be satisfied, it would be nice with just a little bit more food rather than being almost done with the dishes just 30 minutes in. But all in all, still one of my go to Chinese restaurants in Orlando :) read more

If you want authentic Asian cuisine, then Chuan Fu probably fits the bill. Well, I'm assuming it's authentic but my comparison is the cheapo take-out joints all over town and places with "Yum" in their name. The Szechuan Spice is too legit to quit! It hammers your taste buds with that numbing feeling that will have you forgetting to pay your taxes. If you don't like spice, you can order it mild... but give it a try... just don't wear parachute pants if you can't handle it... You may be side steppin' to the bathroom! The Szeshuan Wontons are a must when they're on the menu, and these ones were pretty good. The spice was milder than some of the other spice I had here and at other places. I highly recommend trying a dozen of the pouches of joy! The Mala Hot Pot was impressive and way too much food for one person. A lot of it went to waste unfortunately as this was a lunch stop before shopping and I didn't want my new vehicle to smell like a dumpster behind Epcot's China Pavilion, so I passed on taking the rest to go. This Hot Pot was served on a fire plate (my name for it) that kept it bubbling hot for a bit. It was filled with a lot of breaded items, some shell on shrimp which was a bear to peel and eat, some chicken wings, intestines, fish, and a few thin slices of beef. For me, it would have worked better without any breaded items as they lost their crunch. The shrimp was overcooked too...the meat was stuck to the shells. But OMG the flavors! SOOOO good. I could just dip bread in that sauce. My mouth tingled for hours. The menu is extensive and has lots of pictures, which really makes it as tough as those shrimp to decide what to order. They had lots of soups and noodle dishes, some fried rice dishes, and lots of other stuff as well. I'll surely be back to give some other items a try. Service was a bit slow even though it wasn't super busy. A lot of the wait staff was standing around while ours was nowhere to be found. When you're service spicy food, drink refills are important! read more

Now this is my idea of legit Chinese takeout! I've been craving Sichuan cuisine lately, so my husband & I like to order a few dishes to share and then enjoy them picnic-style on our living room floor. Sometimes that's what date night look like with a baby at home, haha. Some of our favorites are the Sichuan wontons (amazing!), dry fried green beans, Yang Chow fried rice (has shrimp), and the cucumber salad is a MUST. We recently tried the General Tao chicken for the first time which was also really tasty. We weren't big fans of the cumin beef. The cumin flavor was a little too overwhelming, so I wouldn't get that again but I want to try the sizzling beef next! Now I will say that since the portions are meant to be a bit larger for family style sharing, it's definitely reflected in the price. But even then, it gets very expensive because we can eat 4 dishes between the 2 of us. Maybe one day we'll make it into the actual restaurant, but until then we'll keep enjoying our special takeout nights! read more

This restaurant has been open for over 2 years and have been featured on the Michelin guide 2 times. I made reservations via the Yelp app about an hour before. When my friends and I arrived we were seated in under 10 minutes. Just be mindful when you get here finding parking can take some time. They had some plush comfy leather seats. The lighting looked for modern. We ordered everything from the pork ribs, chili wontons, stir fried pea shoots, mapo tofu, multi flavored grilled fish, cumin beef and General Tso chicken. Everything here was delicious. Highly recommend ordering the speciality Chuan Fun dishes. The spices here are in another level. The service here was great as well. Our server was attentive and our food came out quickly. Highly recommend coming here if you want some authentic Cantonese and Chinese dishes. read more

Chuan Fu is such a gorgeous spot -- the interior is absolutely beautiful, modern, and calming -- but the real star is the food. Everything is incredibly flavorful and fresh, and I'm so thankful they have la zi chicken, one of my absolute favorites.

We ordered carryout and this was our 1st visit to this restaurant. We ordered a number of items and it was a bit pricy. We ordered beef cumin, spicy wonton, garlic bok choy, their signature pork fried rice, egg rolls and orange chicken. The order was ready based on the time they provided. The restaurant has a pretty outside/ inside decor and a nice patio. The staff member at the front was courteous. For our meal the food looked inviting. Starting with the spicy wonton it was very spicy almost to the point of not fully enjoyable unless you ate it with the rice or something else to tone the spices down. I enjoy spicy food so it was a surprise it was almost too much for me. For rhe beef cumin the meat was tender and the veggies were cooked well and this tasted ok. The garlic bok choy was almost a little over cooked and needed a little salt. It did taste better the next day. Onto to the signature pork fried rice it was ok as well. My son enjoyed the orange chicken which had a good orange flavor. Not sure I was try again due to the price. Yhe food was too bland or too spicy or I would buy less items and try something else. read more

Spicy I can handle What I got a number of dishes (as it should be) - grilled fish: THE WAS SO GOOD! The fish was fresh, I liked that the meat was not as spicy (I don't have the master Szechuan level of spicy taste buds). I love the additional items in it as well, there was soy curd, potatoes, cauliflower (could use more), wood ear, noodles. - Special cured pork fried rice: this was also pretty good. I am not a big pork fan, but the fried rice was done well. Each rice glistened in the oils of the pork. The cured pork wasn't as fragrant as I imagined but nonetheless very good - La Zi Chicken - this was the least fav of the 3 dishes. There was a strong sweet taste to it, which made it a little too sweet. Didn't expect it. Environment Very very nice environment. In the winter park area in a plaza, this restaurant is on the end of the building, there is external seating outside. The inside is a nice sit down, good for dinner settings. Great vibe, there is a bar but it seems like they have limited alcohol offering, maybe they are not ready yet. Niceness of the staff I love that you can flag down any staff to get their attention. Very attentive, made sure we had everything we needed. Very friendly Dollar Three dishes for 2 people were close to 100. Maybe we ordered a little too much? Or maybe we need more people. The real chinese style Yes I would definitely return here for the grilled fish. read more

Pretty good first visit. We dined here for a friend's birthday on a Saturday evening and it was packed! I highly recommend making a reservation or you may not get a table. They offer wide selection of different dishes that I would normally not try. For example, stir fry frog, dry fried pork chitterlings, stir fried kidneys etc. Definitely not my cup of tea on any day...lol They do however offer a great selection of regular Chinese dishes along with traditional Sichaun dishes. It's a very lively place. Love the decor. I started my meal with the spring rolls. I would skip these next time. There was nothing special about them. For dinner I chose the sizzling beef dish which was very basic. Flavor was good and it came out on a hot cast iron plate. Next visit I would definitely order something with a little more spice. I had a chance to taste the cucumber salad which was delicious. Since it was my friend's birthday, they brought out fried donuts with ice cream. The donuts were good. It was a good way to end a fun evening. read more

Chuan Fu in Winter Park has quickly become my newest favorite spot for Chinese food! My husband and I ordered our go-to dishes, Mapo Tofu and La Zi Chicken, and both were absolutely perfect. The portion sizes were good, and a bowl of rice comes with each dish. The flavors were outstanding--especially the Mapo Tofu, which had that perfect balance of spice and the signature tingly Sichuan pepper flavor. My husband couldn't stop raving about the La Zi Chicken; he loved how there was a generous amount of chicken, rather than just all chilies, and the flavors were bold and satisfying. While the prices are a bit on the higher side, it's still more affordable than Taste of Chengdu, and definitely worth it for the quality and experience. The interior of the restaurant is elegant and well-thought-out, giving off a fancy yet comfortable vibe. Service was above than average for a Chinese restaurant (if you know what I mean). We'll definitely be coming back! read more
