    Undercooked inside the potsticker
    Young S.

    Ordered $130 of takeout. The potstickers were not cooked throughly as the inside was still doughy. The poor quality of styrofoam containers was evident as both top and bottom of the containers melted into the food. I called and the owner told me that everyone in the area uses the same styrofoam containers. She didn't apologize for the food getting contaminated with the melted plastic. The chow fun noodles were overcooked. The Mandarin spare ribs tasted of freezer burn. Ambiance was dark and no lights were on inside.

    Dinner plate B: sweet and sour chicken, broccoli and beef, shrimp fried rice, 2 fried prawns and egg roll  Price: 21.45

    I came for the food, not the ambiance--and I wasn't disappointed. To my surprise, the chicken retained its crunch despite being coated in a sweet and sour marinade, which had a pleasant flavor. The rice was fluffy and well-seasoned. The broccoli was firm, the beef tender, and the prawns had a satisfying crunch while remaining juicy. The egg roll wasn't my cup of tea, but it might be yours. Price: 21.45

    Inside potsticker
    Soleil M.

    I'd give it 4 stars for the affordability and overall quality and taste of the food. We came in on a Saturday around 2PM and were unsure if they were offering dine in. The lady behind the counter said yes and handed us two takeout menus. We sat and looked over the menus and when ready had to go up to the booth to order, where I was also rung up at the time of ordering. We ordered two lunch specials: mongolian beef with chow mein, general chicken with fried rice, and an order of potstickers. The potstickers came out quickly but were pretty bland inside and the wrappers were really thick (we didn't even finish one whole one). The lunch specials we ordered came out soon after in to- boxes. I found it odd that the mongolian beef was sauteed with zucchini and carrots as I'm used to it being an onion forward dish. It still tasted good, just different than I expected. The rest of the food was great and nothing to complain about! Id definitely return If I find myself in Vallejo again.

    Re my to go orders, the lady cashier cooked the pork wonton soup and the male cook did the sweet and sour pork. The sweet and sour pork is a bit on the really sweet and quite very sour side. But I was satisfied because it was a considerable portion and the meat inside was juicy, not dry and old. The wonton soup has very soggy Napa cabbage. At first I was impressed because the container seemed like it has many wontons in it. But my happiness turned into major disappointment because the soup tastes nothing beyond chicken powder seasoning. The meat in the wonton is quite red and scary, too. I am sorry to say that I feel like I threw my money in the garbage bin.

If you can set aside the San Tung benchmark and just let this place be what it is, you'll likely walk away pretty satisfied. It's a decent spot with a respectable wing, and sometimes that's exactly what you need.

    Szechuan Chinese Cuisine, Vallejo: 2026 Jul 11 (5 of 5)…read more A Place Worth Visiting! Not all Chinese foods are made equal. Gettings decent Chinese food is not easy. Getting really tasty Chinese food is even harder. Szechuan Chinese Cuisine in Vallejo has bold, intense, and complex flavors. Originating from the Sichuan province of China, Sichuan food combines fiery red chilies with the signature Sichuan peppercorn which produces a unique, tingling buzz on the lips and tongue. Whether the food here is authentic Sichuan cuisine, I don't know because I've never been to China. However, the food here has all the flavours that satisfies my tummy: fragrant, hot, salty, sweet, aromatic, deep umami flavours defined by cooking on very hot stove. The service here is excellent and nearly all the dishes were well thought out. They offer deeply layered dishes that goes far beyond simple heat. The only dish that did not satisfy me fully was the pork chop. I just couldn't sink my teeth in it, but the flavours sure are prominent. Overall, this is a place worth visiting. This eatery looks clean and well maintained. I took a peek in the kitchen and everything seem to have its place. Emily was our server. She's a delightful lady with positive energy.

Their lunch specials are available every day (including weekends) so they are my go to. Each special comes with the soup of the day, an egg roll, and your choice of fried rice or chow mein. I usually order the kung pao chicken, but I have also tried the cashew chicken and the three delicacies (beef, shrimp, and chicken) which are also great. The portions are very generous, and I usually have enough leftovers for a second meal. Overall, a great local spot with good value and consistently satisfying food!

Even for the ones I didn't eat until towards the end of the meal, there was still a good amount of soup inside that didn't get absorbed by the meat or wrap. You order at a tablet, located at each table, for dine in orders. You can also specify if you want certain items to go, which was perfect because we were eating some things there and taking some items to family. We ordered the following for there: Pork XLB, Shrimp Pork Shaomai, Garlic Green Beans, and Chocolate XLB. The following was ordered to go: Wonton Soup, Pork Bun & BBQ Pork Bun. It's not a huge space, most of the tables are on the left side of the restaurant. A large portion is the food prep / behind the counter area. I had the milk tea to drink. It was fine, nothing special, but I hadn't had one in a while so I enjoyed it with my meal. I also thought the Chocolate XLB was interesting. It was melted/gooey chocolate inside the skin/wrap. It was a nice finish to the meal. I think most of the items were more a 4 for me, but since I loved the XLB so much, it's a 5 rating.

The Xiao Long Bao must be eaten with a spoon to prevent the broth from spilling out or burning your mouth upon consumption. Orders are placed using the tablet at the table. Water is self serve. If you order over $65, a free drink is provided. Service was good as the workers were friendly and helpful.

This is my favorite dish to order. My bowl had 8-9 dumplings, lots of bok choy, some shrimp, and some beef and chicken strips. The broth was mild. I wouldn't order this again. Price: $11.95.
