A South Bay must-try for authentic Sichuan home-style cooking! Met a friend here and was glad we came -- the owner and chef are from Sichuan and the flavors feel very traditional. The Mapo Tofu is incredibly fragrant, not overly spicy, and perfect with rice (huge portion!). The stir-fried pork kidney was super fresh and tender, cooked over high heat and my personal favorite. The green peppercorn Mao Xue Wang has a nice numbing aroma without being too spicy and is packed with ingredients. We also enjoyed the crisp celtuce vegetable, a comforting pork rib & yam soup, and finished with sweet rice pudding and brown sugar rice cakes. Simple, authentic, and very satisfying -- I'd definitely come back. read more

This restaurant had great Chinese food, and everything we ordered tasted great! We ordered family style entrees. We got shrimp fried rice, cumin fried chicken, string beans, and sweet sour fish soup. The spice level was good, not too spicy. Each entree had very good flavor. My favorite was cumin fried chicken. the chicken was tender and crispy on the outside. I also liked the fish fillet and tofu, as it had good spicy flavor. The service was fast and the waiter spoke Chinese. There were lots of tables inside and parking options available. read more

The crispy cumin chicken and pork with cauliflower were good! Would order again. The beef over crispy rice was tasty, but the crispy rice gets soggy kind of fast - kind of wish they left it as separate components instead of doing the table-side pour over. Would probably favor ordering something else if we came back. Service was relatively quick. Came for lunch and there was no wait for a table. They also have a boba menu but I did not try it. The parking situation is really good - it's in a plaza, so plenty of parking. read more

This restaurant was highly recommended and with good reason. The dishes are flavorful without being overly salty. Although the restaurant is leaving this particular area, I'm sure they will reopen in another part of town. The current boiling is being demolished and shops with apartments above are coming in. Today was their second to last day in this building, and the lunch crowd arrived! I hope they find another place to conduct their business because it's a bustling one! Kung pai chicken, fish fillets and orange peel beef were or table choices. Each were delicious! A huge bowl of rice arrived for the table in addition to soup as an appetizer. Since they are about to close, they cut out the lunch salads. The ambiance is cozier than most Chinese restaurants. I believe it's because of the chosen paint color. Today there was only one waitress. If they remain as busy as today, they will need to revamp the help level. Until next time... read more

This rating is just for their hot and sour soup which was listed as a featured/most ordered item on their DoorDash page. Even though I ordered through DoorDash, the soup definitely still hit the spot! The soup was warm, soothing, had an even flavorful balance of hot/sour, the soup base had the right consistency and wasn't too thick or watery, and it had a good amount of veggies in it. read more

I tried this place for the first time last night via DoorDash and was really happy with the items I ordered. I really really enjoyed the Dan Dan. The noodles were perfectly chewy. It was flavorful without being overly spicy. A good Sichuan Dan Dan noodles like it's supposed to be. 10/10 Ma Po tofu was fine too. Next time, I'll get it with the added pork. Ordered a side of white rice which was only $2 and more than adequate. Look forward to trying more dishes. read more

This is hands down my favorite restaurant for mapo tofu! It's spicy, tingly, and packed with black bean flavor in each bite. It truly is everything you could want in mapo tofu with authentic flavors. Beyond just their mapo tofu, I would highly recommend their chili fish filet and chicken. Everything here is wonderfully spicy and delicious! read more

Came here for lunch as a party of 5 on a Saturday and the place was a pretty empty, so we were able to get a table with no wait! ~the food~ - House Special Crispy Cumin Chicken ($19.99): The was SO good! Super crispy fried chicken that was packed with flavor + spice! Definitely was my favorite dish from the meal! - Sautéed Garlic Sugar Pea Leaves ($18.99): Pretty good! I think this was the first timeI tried Sugar Pea Leaves and it like in between spinach and bok choy? Was seasoned nicely with garlic and was a great side veggie dish to balance out the meal! - Beef with Sizzling Rice ($24.99): Crispy rice with braised beef + veggies sauce poured on top! Make sure to eat this one right away as the crispiness of the rice goes away fast after the sauce goes on top! Really enjoyed this one as well! - Wok Cooked Pork With Cauliflower ($22.99): This one was also super good! The dish was nicely seasoned and I liked the cauliflower still had a nice crunch to it! Not a whole lot of pork, more of a veggie dish but still really good! - Braised Pork with wild bamboo shoots ($21.99): Not bad! the pork belly was very tender, and nicely seasoned, but I wasn't a huge fan of the bamboo shoots underneath the pork belly as it was kinda too fibrous? ~parking~ Lots of the parking available in the plaza! ~overall~ Very casual place, I think it would be perfect for a large family meal! Their portions were pretty generous so I would recommend doing family-style to try a variety of their dishes! I did hear that the entire plaza is possibly going to be closed in April, so definitely give this restaurant a try before then! read more

Friends and I were in the area and craving some Chinese food, so we looked this place up and saw the great reviews. We decided to give it a try -- and it did not disappoint! We ordered the duck, string beans, chili chicken, cucumber soup, and the combination fried rice. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and came out quickly. The portions were generous, and we were all really satisfied with our choices. We'll definitely be coming back whenever we're in the area. Highly recommend! read more

Pretty good Sichuanese food! My family came here and ordered a bunch of food. Price is on the higher side for some dishes but portions are big. We asked for everything to be extra spicy but it was honestly very tolerable, so don't be afraid if you don't have super high spice tolerance. It looks a lot spicier than it actually is. Their mapo tofu is one of the better ones I've had so I'd definitely recommend! Overall a good place for a family style meal with signature Sichuanese flavors. The service was quick and efficient but also nice! The place has tons of seating and is very casual. Looks a bit outdated cus they've been open for so long. read more

I stopped by at JX cuisine for lunch on a weekday and got the crispy spicy chicken - I believe it might have been called the Chong Quing chicken or the Sichuan mala chicken. It had a great spice with that classic numbing flavor of the Sichuan peppercorns. The portions were large but this dish was not included with the lunch special so any accompanying rice would have to be ordered separately. I also ordered a scallion pancake which was a different texture than expected but the flavor was okay. I would recommend going with cash if you can based on the owner's recommendations. The people at the counter taking my order were nice, and there were several tables for seating (although I took my food to go). read more

So saddened to hear that Pot Sticker is closing its doors after 12 years in the Bay Area due to mall redevelopment. This place has been a staple for authentic Szechuan and Shandong cuisine for over a decade. As you can see in my photo image.png, the food is always vibrant and full of flavor. It's not a "goodbye," but a "see you later"--I truly hope they find a new location soon. Fellow foodies, make sure to visit one last time before they close! read more

Definitely love this place! Would recommend this restaurant to people to try. Their signature is SICHUAN MAPO TOFU. Their mapo tofu is different style that we used to try. The flavor just hit the mark. Their SMOKED TEA DUCK is so DELICIOUS. According to the chef, the smoked duck was prepared and cooked for more than 10 hours. It was moist, tender, and the smokiness really gets into the bone. We love their TRIPLE DELIGHT RICE TREASURE. it was a mixed of seafood and vegetable gravy, poured on top of rice cracker. It was truly a delight dish. They have so many menu to try. I heard their cumin chicken was also delicious. This dish will be our next dish to try for future visit. read more

For 11 years, JX has been our home for authentic Szechuan cuisine. We are so saddened to see them close. We miss the food and the people. The owner always greeted us with such warmth, and Jeff, our server, was absolutely incredible--he truly made every visit special and the chef is amazing!! We've spent a decade craving their wontons in spicy sauce, spicy fish, always paired with their perfect green beans and vegetable fried rice. The combination of delicious, home-style meals and friendly faces is hard to find. We are already looking forward to the day they reopen their doors! read more

JX Cuisine was such a pleasant surprise. The dishes had authentic Sichuan flavors with a great balance of spice and aroma. The辣子鸡 was crispy and packed with fragrance, and the stir-fried dishes were fresh and well-seasoned. Portions were generous, and everything came out hot and flavorful. The calligraphy decor added a nice cultural touch to the space. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for satisfying, authentic Chinese food. read more

Great and fast service. Ample parking. Affordable prices. The food looks amazing and tastes good. Went with friends. I'm not a huge Chinese food fan but I was pleasantly surprised. The soup was hot and sour. No meat. Tasted consistent with what I've had before The fish dish was yummy and tender. The egg plant was out of this world. Lemon chicken was a little tough but the flavor was decent. Reminded me of orange chicken. I didn't expect it to be coated and fried. The veggies were fresh and crisp. Clean food read more

Excellent spicy Chinese food. One of my favorite places for it. BBQ Fish, Kung pao chicken, Couples delight, cumin lamb, all top notch.

It's hard to find an authentic Szechuan place that gives friendly service to people who don't speak their language, but I think I finally found a solid choice! Located in the same plaza as Kyo Po Korean market, there's plenty of parking. Cozy yet spacious interior. Service was very prompt and friendly throughout entire meal. Everything we got was so flavorful and delicious. Dan Dan noodles was very saucy with hints of spice, big portion and overall highly recommend. The star of the night was the house special crispy spicy fish fillet - so crispy and flavorful on the outside with light and airy tender pieces of fish on the inside. We devoured this! We also got the triple delight sizzling rice which came with so much extra sauce that we took it home in 2 containers. This was a good balance to the meal because it wasn't spicy at all. We also got the lamb skewer appetizer and it was yummy with a nice balance of fat and tender meat - it didn't have much Szechuan spices though. I'll definitely be back! read more

Some of the best Sichuan food I've had in the bay area. Their version of mapo tofu has extra black bean flavor. It skews a bit on the saltier but the flavor is intense and you keep wanting more. The cumin fried chicken is kind of like laziji with much more cumin. The batter is incredibly crunchy. My only feedback is that its a bit thick. The boiled fish filet (it says hot sauce on the menu) came in a gigantic bowl. There was a good portion of fish. A mountain of bean sprouts was hidden under the fish, submerged in the broth. This dish is my favorite. way to have beansprouts, so I was stoked. The broth isn't too oily, so sipping the broth or having it with rice isn't going to make you feel gross. Their default level of spice isn't bad at all. You might be used to spicier if you'e eaten a ton of Sichuan food. The plaza is closing sometime early this year. I really hope they find a new location. Give them a try before they close! read more
