This is our favorite takeout place in Menlo Park. Great Chinese food with lots of vegetarian choices. Some of our favorites are - Twice cook Tofu, hot and sour soup, string beans, eggplant a la Sichuan and broccoli stir fry. read more

Very bad service. I have been coming here for many times. Initially I didn't care because they are close to where I live. Just for convenience. But their service went to an extend that I can no longer stand. Every single of them acts like they have an attitude. And they expect at least 15% tips for their low quality service. read more

So glad this place reopened! They remodeled; different restaurant but kept it family style. I came here for a company dinner, the service was quick (like fast food quick) and that generally makes me nervous b/c it means they sacrifice quality. That was not the case here. The Sichuan pork is hands down the best in town, nothing looked or tasted greasy- it was all very fresh and well cooked. There were 7 of us at the table, we ordered a decent amount (about 8 large plates) which we all shared on a turntable. We were STUFFED and it was really affordable (just over $100). We took some leftovers home and overall were satisfied. Plenty of options on their menu, a little something for everyone. Will definitely come back and highly recommend for small & large gatherings. read more

Real Sichuan food, don't fear the heat but embrace it. Hi there red pepper and numbing pepper and chili oil. Help me soar away!

shabby outer appearance with a parking lot too small...recommend street parking...inside the complete opposite..decent interiors and quite large...dinner for 3 and ordering few items to share...soup dumplings $9.50...most of them stuck to the steaming tray and soup leaking...dry cooked shredded beef $14.95...not spicy at all, salty and texture of beef jerky...dry cooked string beans cooked well, but again not spicy and too salty...pork belly with chestnuts simmering over gel fuel $13.95...tender and thick simmering braise...rice charge for $1.50 per person...$69 total after tax and tip...finding the food too salty and not spicy for a szechuan restaurant... read more

I was there with my family yesterday. We had a horriblr customer experience at the end. The waiters were fighting next to our table to begin with , then they started sweeping. We approached to one lady kindly to ask to stop sweeping while we were still eating, but she refused and started aruguing with us. She said she just needed to clean the mess on the floor and if that's okay with us. We told her no it's not okay becuase it's not sanitary. The waiter was extremely rude and unacceptabe. I was really stocked with her attitude. read more

Hands down the best Sichuan food in the Peninsula! Not only do they have a wide variety of classic Sichuan dishes, but they also offer hot pot (though I've never tried myself) and have some other popular Chinese snacks. My favorite dishes here are the Sichuan cold noodles (so addicting!) and Chongqing Spicy Chicken. The restaurant is also nicely decorated, and has a number of large tables in the back to seat large parties. One minor complaint is that parking can be difficult during busy nights as their lot is quite small, though I've usually been lucky enough to snag a spot. read more

Amazing food, authentic, fast service, and large portions! All in a super nice ambiance

Wow! Probably the best Chinese food I ever had! Sweet n sour pork was cook to perfection, salt n pepper ribs were crispy and juicy with a unique flavor, spicy shrimp was also flavorful! I will definitely be returning here soon! The place was very clean and some tables had stove tops. read more

Food: 2 Decor: 4 Service: 3 Came here with my parents for lunch on our way to SF. 1. Tofu soup ~Delicious. Both the spicy and regular were good, although I personally preferred the regular. 2. Braised eggplant ~Pretty good. Eggplant could have cooked a bit longer since the skin was a bit chewy. 3. Cashew nut chicken ~Mediocre. It was also really oily. 4. Shrimp with veggies ~Disappointing. Shrimp did not taste fresh. 5. Chinese donut ~Mediocre. Donuts were lukewarm and not crispy at all. Service was fast, but it felt rushed. Judging by the other Yelp pictures, we probably just ordered the wrong dishes. read more

Except for the sizzling rice with scallops, I'm not sure I'd hurry back. Seriously, the sizzling rice with scallops. Everything about that dish was marvelous. The rice-krispie-treat rice blocks, the sauce, the vegetables. Okay, maybe the scallops were a tad overcooked, but still, that dish was amazing. The other things we ordered were all right. The Ma Po tofu was insanely spicy, and there wasn't much depth to the dish. The hong kong noodles with bean sauce were wayyyyyyy too salty, I could barely swallow them. And the eggplant a la sichuan? Probably the best of the three, but they had a ginger kick to them that really turned me off. I much prefer the sichuan eggplant at Da Sichuan in Palo Alto. Their menu is beyond extensive, but doesn't feature much for vegetarians. And you have to ask for water, which is a little bananas considering how salty and spicy the food is. The atmosphere of the restaurant is really nice, and it's a great place to go and share some food with friends, catch up a little... And the price is right! But the food is not. read more

If this is authentic Szechuan food, then it's a little too authentic for me. I like spicy, but this place's spicy food is aggressively spicy, unpleasantly spicy. The lunch plates are not very big (though you get a lot of very white rice, which you really want, what with the spicy and all), and it seemed to me as if the pile of hot chili pods and garlic slices (I don't really want to eat those either) left over when I was finished was bigger than the entree serving I began with. It wasn't, but it seemed as if it was. Looking over at others' meals, they had the same chili-pods-all-over that I had. Beware of the tiny parking lot in back. If there aren't any free spaces, and there usually aren't, it's extraordinarily difficult to maneuver your car around to get out. read more

This place is the most random place in the area. A Menlo Park local was sharing that the chinese food was legit. From the outside appearance I was a bit skeptical, but after walking inside, I was pleasantly surprised. The presentation of everything is legit, and so is the food. I believe everything we ordered was delicious! Some spicy shrimp dish was absolutely addicting here! Since I was only visiting, I didn't get to try a ton of dishes, but about 4 dishes we had were all good. I thought that this place was one of the best Chinese food I've had in the United States, and that is including the China town in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and New York. read more

3.5/5. Came here just after it opened. The décor is modern, though a tad bit tacky: It reminds me of the new stores/restaurants in China that are trying too hard to be fancy, what with the hanging lighting, metallic art installations on the walls, and the private room with a glass chandelier. Seating/tables could be a bit more comfortable: Outside of the private dining room, most of the tables have a heating element under them that restricts leg movement. Want a chair? You're out of luck: Seating consists almost entirely of large black benches. Food is pretty solid. They have all your Sichuanese classics, like Sichuan Cold Noodles, Fuqi Fei Pian (good), and Wonton in Hot Chili Oil (which was a bit watered down). Catfish in Chili Oil was nice, but the dry fried prawns (while tasty) were not as plump as the ones I'm used to at Crouching Tiger. Overall, Fey is pretty good, but I still think I like CT a little better. read more

Pros Pretty tasty food (a sure 4 star just for food). Really nice modern decor Lots of space Clean restrooms Cons Customer service was not great. My daughter was standing on the seat and the maitre d'warned her not to reach out for the decoration in a chiding way while I was in the process of asking her to not reach anyways. Water refills are taking a bit and the waiters were not very coordinated. Parking lot is tiny. Adjacent parking lot has lots of do not park warnings. We squeezed into a tiny spot somehow. Wish they had better beverages though. Felt a bit wanting after I was done with my meal. read more

I have been there twice in a row in one weekend, that tells you how much i am loving this place. I recommended cold noodles, twice cooked tofu. These two dishes are AMAZING. I also tried the chongqing chicken and fish, as well as dan dan noodles. they all taste good, but not the most authentic one I have tried if you are looking for those. But I would definitely keep on going back for those dishes, because they taste really good. Not too salty or greasy like a lot of other sichuan places. Another great thing about this place is that the price is very reasonable, 7 dollars for noodles, and i can't even finish it all by myself. :) So I would recommend ordering one dish per person. The parking space is very limited though. Also I wish the service is faster, it is hard to wave down anyone for anything. read more

I gave 2 stars only because the food is authentic and yummy. As for the service, I would give 0 star if I could. The woman that took my order (I am pretty sure she is the owner), her face turned to disgust as soon as I told her I only wanted something simple for dinner, which means cheap food. Her face became even uglier when I handed her an American Express card. She said they didn't take Amex but the problem was Amex was the only card I had and I didn't bring cash. After some awkward pauses, just as I was about to leave, she finally decided that she didn't want to lose a sale and took the card. As she handed me the receipt, she made sure I knew how much she disliked Amex. Lady - learn to RESPECT your customer!!! I don't deserve that ugly face of yours just because I ordered a simple item off of the menu and handed you an Amex. read more

We reserved a room for a party of 15. We ordered half the menu and ate family style. I highly recommend that you go with someone that can speaks Chinese. We definitely depended on them and all communications were in Chinese. Some dishes were better than others. Some were bland some were seasoned well. It felt a little inconsistent. read more

Just go in person to get the :100: Chongqing chicken. Don't order with DoorDash, because mistakes happen more frequently.

Average Szechuan food at a slightly more upscale Chinese restaurant. I'm not sure if there is even a purpose to yelp reviewing Chinese restaurants, since the best ones are usually not rated that highly. Chinese food is really all about the food - ignore the lack of ambiance, service, or alcohol. The food is almost always preying on your nostalgia, not your palette. Don't expect amazing new cooking styles or innovative dishes; this place is your basic Szechuan cuisine. That being said, it's not bad. Personally I prefer Shanghainese or food from Guangzhou, but if you're into that trademark numbing spiciness of Szechuan, they have quite a few dishes that do that well here. Their lamb with peppercorns and fish with pickled vegetables (did I translate that right?) are pretty decent. One gripe: The rice was so mushy and overcooked, then served in some weird tub that looks more like a ice tub you get in a hotel. Come on! All Chinese restaurants should be able to cook rice properly. read more

Been there several times. No big surprise. Overall good decoration for a chinese restaurant. Decent chinese food. Love their weekend specials, esp 豆腐脑. However some common dishes, such as mapo tofu, need improvement. read more

Don't let the outside looks fool you! This place IIR really nice on the inside and the food was delicious. My lady and I came for lunch and received our food very quickly. The taste was amazing and the servicewas was also speedy. Last thing, they're VERY reasonably priced. Average item was $10-$15 a la carte & the portions are for 2-3 people easy. I highly recommend coming here! read more

It was surprisingly good, comfortable and enjoyable, as the outside appearance doesn't match the inside whatsoever !!!!!! read more

The art of cooking includes subtleties, particularly when it comes to adding hot spices to a dish. Complexity in this area is the mark of great skill, and it is elusive, perhaps because it demands experimentation, patience and persistence. For an example of the complete lack of such sophistication, you need go no further than the Kung Pao shrimp at this restaurant -- and perhaps, by extension, every other Kung Pao dish that Fey has on its menu. Talk about raw, brute assaults on one's taste buds! Like a slap in the face. And at $17, a rip off. I found myself sorting through the brown malaise for shrimp. The white rice, which came separately in this take-out package, had a cardboard quality that was itself quite remarkable. Soy sauce did nothing fir it. So even the rice was essentially inedible by anyone with a basic respect for one's own palette. What a mess. Never again. I'd much sooner eat at Panda Express. read more

This is the best restaurant in the area for deep fried sweet rice cakes with tasty red bean paste inside. It is crispy outside and tender inside. It is even better than the ones I had in Beijing. They also offer deep fired sweet pie and fried dough at weekend lunch time. read more

This is an alright place to go if you're craving Sichuan style Chinese food. The pros: dishes taste authentic (especially recommend the cumin lamb), restaurant decor is gorgeous, and parking is ok. The cons: service is gruff, even by Chinese restaurant standards, and prices are high (more than $12 for most dishes). Would I come again? Only if I'm craving Sichuan food and unwilling to drive to somewhere better. read more

I came here with my parents and they were extremely rude. They kept asking 4 times in quick succession if we were ready to order yet. They rushed us while we were ordering and werent nice when we asked questions. When my mom asked about the price of the soup being different from her memory, they just said something like its obviously 13 not 9. There were different size soups, which she didnt realize, and I explained to her, but the waiter was extremely rude about it. Then, later, as my dad was signing the receipt, a waiter was on the phone, put it on hold, just to grab it as my dad was looking at it, and walked away. This was a horrible dining experience. I would not recommend it, and would never come back. My parents and I were upset and felt extremely disrespected. To top it off, the food was too salty. read more

Food is not fresh. Too oily. We had lunch. Ordered orange chicken. The chicken wasn't even hot inside. The rancid taste clearly says the meat was from last night's pre-prepared batch. The seating is not comfortable. Due to hotpot wires, there is limited space for legs. read more

If you can get past the insultingly-bad service, the food is excellent - maybe some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. I especially liked the lamb scewers. Now for the service. Expect to be ignored for long periods of time. Expect to ask a minimum of 3 times for anything you want - drinks, refills, a fork, etc. It took me 4 tries and over an hour to get a glass of water. Once you get your food, you will never see your waiter again. NEVER. Just be prepared for that. read more

The food quality are bad , fish are not fresh, and not friendly poor services. And finally automatically changed 17% tips without any permissions, which make us feel so bad. Anyway, wouldn't comeback and recommend to other people. Not clever boss ever ! From you did, You definitely loss customers. 今日路过这家餐厅, 餐品质量非常一般， 服务态度不友善， 全程板着脸， 水煮鱼的鱼片很不新鲜，端上来的水煮鱼都不像刚出锅的，半温的， 蒜蓉大豆苗60%都是老的咬不动，最后结账时老板将小费自动加上了17%。 呵呵，没道理， 没商量， 好不好老板说了算， 在湾区的餐厅你们也真是独一份的"服务理念", 就这样的服务和菜品质量你们也好意思帮顾客决定小费吗？老板， 生意不可以这样做的！ 肯定不会再去了， 不推荐这家店! read more

The food is great, we were trying to find authentic Chinese food restaurent for a while, and this one has very authentic Sichuan food, very spicy, just as we like it. And I see on the menu there's also more Americanized Chinese food options too. But the SERVICE, I would give 1star, when I walked in the decoration suggests an upscale place, we were a party of 4, when we were ordering, we waited long enough but no server checked in on us at all even though the restaurant wasn't busy at all, so we had to call the server, and they ignored us for the whole time, when the guy was taking our order, his attitude was really the worst I ever seen, at one point he rolled his eyes at us, even tho we were nice and polite which the servers were supposed to be. When the check came, we thought about leaving 10%of the tips because of the poor service, but the restaurant charged us 15% SERVICE FEE included in the bill. We are never cheap on tips usually, but the service of this place doesn't deserve it at all. read more

I would say the food here is so-so. Please bother to drive cross the i94 bridge to find real food Chinese food. The cold noodle here is a disaster , and the spicy chicken (la zi ji) is apparently too salty and fat. Really a (won't come again for its flavor) read more
