I've ordered takeout from here a few times, and everything tasted fine but the portions are not large. The dan dan noodles don't have that much flavor aside from the meat, and taste good as a noodle dish but not as dan dan noodles specifically. Their spicy fish fillet with tofu, and mapo tofu are good, though not mala. Never had any issues picking up my orders here. They were always ready with the food and helped us immediately. read more

This was one of the most disrespectful and shocking customer experiences I've had in a long time. they were closed and couldn't even wait or use the restroom. That felt discriminatory and completely unacceptable. My other account is George g. I can't log in but I made a new log in just for this review I stopped by around 9:40am after dropping my daughter off at school. I was hungry, didn't want breakfast, and noticed the front door was open with a woman sweeping inside. I politely approached and was immediately brushed off and told rudely to come back at 11am. Fine -- I understand if you're closed. But the way she spoke to me was dismissive and unwelcoming. I then politely asked if I could sit quietly and wait since I wasn't from the area and planned to eat before heading out to run errands. She waved her hand at me like I didn't matter and said no. As I was leaving, I urgently needed to use the restroom and asked respectfully if I could use it quickly. She said no again, pointed aggressively toward the grocery store next door, said "go go," and slammed the door shut on me. That alone was incredibly rude and humiliating. What made this even worse was that moments later, I watched a Chinese couple walk up and get let inside and seated even though I was told Customer service should be respectful and equal to everyone. First impressions matter, and this one was terrible. I'm still coming back later to try the food and will update, but based on how I was treated today, management seriously needs to address how customers are handled. read more

I went to this restaurant for a meal, and there was a small fly in my water glass. I told the male waiter, and he immediately took the glass away, preventing me from having any evidence. He didn't offer any apology or explanation. I had already drunk some of the water with the fly in it, which I found disgusting. Later, I asked the waiter for an explanation. He was very flippant about the whole thing, not taking it seriously at all. He initially offered a discount, but when he gave me the bill, he only removed the price of one dish. This didn't match what he had said. Although his attitude wasn't good, I still gave him a $10 cash tip. I didn't give a tip on my credit card. However, he secretly charged me an additional $10 tip on my credit card. This is credit card fraud. This is very upsetting. read more

This is our favorite Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area. Everything we ordered was good. Nancy the host is always accommodating. There was 24 of us and about 40 minutes before they closed when I called. They waited for us and didn't't rush us. Aside from my family , the rest of our group are first timers and everyone loves the food. Highly recommend the place. This is a Schetzwan food , so beware most dishes are spicy but you could request , non spicy . read more

Got fried rice, pot stickers, and egg rolls. All were terrible. Egg rolls tasted like they were previously frozen. Fried rice was bland. And pot stickers were stale and hard. We couldn't barely even bite into them. Do not recommend. Spent 70$ on all of this. read more

So I honestly don't know why this place is not rated way higher, because it's probably my favorite Chinese restaurant in the whole Bay, especially if you like frog legs. Every single person that I've taken here too has loved it, so I certainly don't think it's just me. The service can be hit or miss admittedly, but if it's the old lady serving then she never misses a beat. I've probably been to this place over 50 times within the past few years, with the most recent being last week. So along with writing more reviews of places I go this year, I feel like this one needs to be done justice. The local kinda sucks; it's a bit off the main highway and a little hard to find. It's never really packed, and during my first visit it seemed a little sus. They're one of the few restaurants to offer frog legs (specifically the dry pot spicy frog), so I tried that out first. It did not disappoint. This place has hands down the best frog legs and hot and sour soup in the Bay. My most recent trip we had the veggies, the frog legs, and hot/sour soup again, but I've also had the beef tendon, kung pao chicken, hot/sour fish, and others here too. Every single item we've ordered here has tasted authentic and great. The prices are quite reasonable too, especially for how good it is. Their lunch special is one of the best deals in the area. The food and value is so good here I can forgive the ambiance and sometimes inconsistent service and still give it 5 stars. read more

Every dish that I ever ordered was great, I had the tea smoked duck the other day, it's definitely most authenticate taste of the dish, whole family enjoyed the delicious food every time we visited the restaurant read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants. The food and and the service is terrific. The beef tendon is a cold dish with lots of chili and Sichuan peppercorns for a tongue numbing and palate changing experience that I love with Sichuan spicy cuisine. The pork belly (on the menu as pork beely) is melt in your mouth. And the beef with broccoli was a really lovely cumin spicing I loved. This restaurant has the big tables you need for a real party with a Lazy Susan and while it is not bad,it is a little run down, but is at least well maintained. read more

This place is my guilty pleasure. I have ordered takeout countless times and really appreciate such an amazing restaurant close by. My regular order is Combination Chowmein/Fried Rice, Crispy Beef, Kung Pao chicken and Lamb with Green Onion/Mongolian lamb. The chicken corn soup is also a staple order for our household. All of this is so amazingly yummy that I am surprized with the low rating of this place. Very friendly service at the counter as well. I have not dined in, but it is a sizeable establishment and always kept clean. The location is always bustling with Ranch 99 and 85 bakery right next door. read more

Ordered takeout from here and was really impressed with the portion size and the taste! The mapo tofu was super silky and while I think the chow mein could have a little bit more sauce (started clumping together), it was a huge portion and had a lot of chicken pieces in it. read more

Authentic Sichuan food in Fremont? Yes! Fist time here, the staff was attentive, and the food came fast. The husband and wife slices was so good! The waxed meat when shallots was smoky salty and amazing. The pork belly slices was garlic was really good. The string beans were done well. And the fish was shockingly good. We will eat here again, for sure. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Newark! Authentic Chinese food all year round. I've been here and ordered many times, trying different dishes on their menu. All of them are pretty good with some being fantastic such as dry sauteed spicy chicken wings, sour Chinese pickle with fish fillet, Sichuan Cold noodles. You know a restaurant is really good when you feel comfortable being exploratory and ordering any random dish you see on the menu. This is one of the Chinese restaurants that won't let you down. I often do takeout here and service has been reliable and fast. The restaurant inside also looks decent. I think they took travel groups sometime, during which it'd be crowded. read more

My family loves spicy food, and my mom also was told by her friend that this spot serves complimentary soy milk and 油條 (Chinese fried donut) on weekends, so Little Sichuan was immediately bumped up our queue of places to try. But, when we arrived, it seemed like there was only complimentary soy milk, and there wasn't mention of complimentary 油條 in Yelp reviews for nearly a decade. That said, you can still order it a la carte, which is what we did. Personally thought it was a little greasy but my mom was a fan, so that's all that matters in the end. Now, as far as the rest of the food goes - we ordered the boiled fish, cold sichuan noodles, husband and wife lung slices, and spicy chicken wings. The cold noodles were topped with a couple spoonfuls of their fragrant and addictive chili oil, refreshing sliced cucumber, and the protein of your choice (ground pork or shredded chicken). In case you needed even more of that chili oil goodness (which we did), it's also available table side. The husband and wife lung slices (which is usually beef shank and tripe in a spicy sauce) and the boiled fish in chili oil were the epitome of 下飯, which just means they're perfect for downing several bowls of rice. Service and ambiance here are just ok, which I think is the root of most of the negative reviews, but it didn't bother us much. All in all, a nice new Sichuan place for our family, and while I needed a nap afterward from the chili oil and multiple bowls of rice, I thought the food was good and would come back. read more

This is Ms Squirrel and my favorite spicy Chinese place. We usually go here for our anniversary. We love their food. It is amazing how much flavor they pack into each fiery bite. Although the staff is wonderful (the owner even remembers to ask about our dog, even though we only go there once every year at most). However, it is the foods flavor that drew us to love this restaurant. Our relationship with their food is simply a passionate affair between our tongues and a tempest, where flavors weave a tapestry of heat and harmony, whispering secrets of distant, exotic ecstasy. Order the schezuan style spicy food, that is what they specialize in. read more

Disappointing! Came here for a quick lunch. Three people, ordered three food items, for the price of the food and the amount they give you is not even worth it. The bill came out to $50+/-, trying to give the male waiter $4 for a tip and he argued that we needed to add more, but all he did was bring our food. I don't know how other people feel about this but I didn't think a tip is mandatory if your job is being a waiter you do your job. But to demand more tip is insane and rude in my opinion, if you're unhappy with your job don't work there! He told us not to come back to the restaurant and he was cussing under his breath! I normally give a decent amount of tip but for a quick lunch, I don't feel I need to match the amount of an entree for a tip. read more

Came here for a family dinner on a Sunday and it was relatively quiet with maybe a fourth of the tables filled when we got there. We ordered green beans, mu shu pork, beef chow fun, and fried rice. The food came out as they were ready which was quite fast. All of the food was good. The beef chow fun seemed like it had more veggies than noodles but maybe that's just me since I love noodles. Mu shu pork was well flavored, the wraps kept breaking when I was eating it but maybe that's because I packed too much? We ended up with lots of mu shu pork filling left but no wraps. The green beans were probably the highlight as they were well seasoned with a nice crunch and our little guy who is picky with food and particularly veggies for that matter gobbled these up much to our delight. If you're in the area and need a quick bite to eat, this place is pretty solid. read more

We have been coming to this Little Sichuan way back in 1997 at 4th street in San Mateo City. And we still coming but now they are located in Newark, CA. If you like spicy food please try. 5 spices cold chicken with onions and peanuts, cold noodles with shredded chicken are must try dish. read more

I was craving szechuan after hiking and this was closest to Coyote Hills. I love szechuan food and will eat it any time and any day of the week. They weren't very packed for the new years, and had plenty of seats open. This restaurant is alot larger than it looks like on the outside, there are plenty of seats, and literally 1 waiter. The menu here is massive, if you are dining with someone who does not want to eat something spicy, there are plenty of more americanized chinese dishes for them to eat. I am not too sure how many people they have working in the back, but there was only 1 waiter running around serving 5 tables. We ordered 4 dishes, shui dzu yui ( spicy boiled fish), walnut prawns ( my bfs order), szechuan style pork ribs, and deep fried chili chicken. The dishes all came out super super quickly, we got the spicy boiled fish first, before the rice even came out. We got all of the dishes in less than 10 min. The shui dzu yui here is great, spicy. and tons of peppercorn, next time I will ask to add intestines. The deep fried chili chicken is a pass, it was too salty and not too tasty. The walnut prawns here were a little pricey $16, and half of the dish was canned pineapple, which we did not touch. Pineapple covered in mayonnaise is not that appetizing. The szechuan style pork ribs were both of our favorite dish, the portion was huge, it came out on a massive plate, on a bed of spicy chili, chopped up hot peppers, szechuan sauce and french fries? I really loved this dish, and I cannot wait to come back. I also want to try their dan dan mian, ma jiang mian, and onion pancakes. read more

My husband and I lived in Fremont for over 2 months. We ordered multiple times take out from this restaurant. We also dined in twice. It is very close to 99 Ranch Market, kind of a good option after food grocery. My husband's favorite dish here is grilled whole fish with tofu. The fish meat is very tender and with great favor. My favorite dish here is Spicy Sichuan Cold noodle, the price is very cheap but with huge amount (it is good for several people to share) Interesting part about this dish, the spicy chicken cold noodle and spicy vegetable cold noodle are the same price. I usually ordered the chicken option, seems like chicken meat is free!! Haha. Sliced potato sliced, fried spicy chicken, fried rice with shrimp and stir-fried green beans also are other good options. The menu has lots of options, traditional Chinese style, and American Chinese style. The average price of each dish is lower than other Chinese restaurant. I believe you will find some dish you like here. The staff here are very friendly. I recommend you stop by this restaurant and give it a try if you are near by! read more

Cheesy Chinese decor brings me back when I use to live in Chinatown. It feels nostalgic. We came here on a whim and really didn't know what to order. So, thought we were so slick and said we would order the fixed menu meal. But we read it incorrectly and didn't feel so slick afterall. Here's what we ordered: 1) Tomato beef chow mein - fresh tomatoes and beef with tangy ketchup flavored noodles. The portions are humongous! 3 STARS 2) Filet fish and tofu - favorite of the night. It was very yummy. 4 STARS 3) Onion pancake - this is a house favorite and for a reason. It was fried in a way that makes you want to eat the whole plate by yourself! 5 STARS I took a menu home and studied up, so, that we can return to order other things. I wanna try the rice cakes, dry spice filet fish, and one of their soups. I'll be back! read more

The food is good but service is trash. I made my order over the phone and my receipt says I ordered it with the server "little". After picking up my food, they gave me boneless Szechuan chicken instead of bone in (LIKE I ASKED, I CLEARLY KNOW WHAT I WANT) two female servicer were giving me a huge attitude and upset that there was miscommunication on their part. They were blaming me (as the customer) for "not saying the right thing" over the phone when I know what I ordered. It was so disrespectful and getting out of hand that I asked her is "she gonna remake the order or not?" She remade the order, but not without giving me eye rolls and saying that it's my fault that they have to redo it . Overall, this establishment needs to work on their customer service to match the quality of the food. Just from this interaction this is my last visit. read more

Food is delicious and dishes can be ordered spicy. Great service. No long waits. Long menu with good variety.

This is one of our favorite restaurants! Very flavorful dishes. Authentic Sichuan cuisine! Excellent dumplings. The pork and tofu is per

The food is ok. But the customer service is terrible, especially that lady with a very bad attitude.

Not many good restaurants, if any at all around anymore but thought we'd try Little Sichuan in Newark. I'm not sure but it may be under new management because the website was well done, and easy to navigate through. The inside of the restaurant also was updated, with new decor and was fresh, clean. Noticeably new and very different. We ordered Wor Wonton soup, combination fried rice, combination chow mein, Honey Walnut Shrimp and Sweet and sour pork. All fresh and tender, flavorful, nice and hot--delicious! Our order was ready as promised in 20 minutes, waiting for us. The sweet and sour pork was a little on the tough side but we ate it. It's gone up in price, like everything else but we'll worth it. I'd like to thank them all for our enjoyable take-out dinner. read more

The portion of all dishes are very small. The Winter Melon With Dried Shrimps tastes horrible. The dried shrimps are very fishy.

Loved this place since I was a child, but have unfortunately stopped coming here for a few years as new similar places opened up closer to our home. I was hit with some nostalgia coming back here, and was surprised to find that the owner remembers us! She's very welcoming and friendly just as she used to be. Dishes my family and I ordered include Mapo tofu, a sweet and sour eggplant dish (forgot name), Combination of stuff in a huge bowl of hot oil (also forgot name), white rice, and a sichuan style mung bean jelly (not pictured). All of which came out to about $83 not including tip. Food was plentiful and extremely flavorful, as I find most Sichuan dishes to be. The food always looks spicier than it looks so don't be afraid to try it even if you're not the best with spice. The menu is also extensive so you're sure to find something you like. I've truly never had anything here that I thought didn't taste good. Overall, no complaints here and I'm hoping my family and I begin to come here as frequent as we used to! read more

I don't know what's up with the poor reviews. I'd been a customer at Little Sichuan in San Mateo for 20 years. The cold sichuan noodles and dry braised string beans are my go-tos. After learning that the San Mateo restaurant is closed, I discovered this one, which is actually even better for me since I live in the East Bay now. The food tastes exactly the same as San Mateo! I don't have any idea why other reviews described a smelly restaurant and rude staff. It's very clean and everyone seems really pleasant. read more
