This is real Chinese food, and it's high quality. Delicious stuff you can't get elsewhere in town. Flavors are unique and authentically Northern Chinese (it's very spicy), and totally different from other good Chinese restaurants here in Portland. This is a MUST try if your into Chinese, it's the real deal. I've been driving past this place for over a decade and thought it was Chinese/American and never gave it a thought. The area is NOT the best, strip mall next to a Winco, and kind of low rent, but it's clean, and the food is tops. These are the younger Chinese who seem aware of China's presence in the world and seem confident in their style and food. Bravo, well done, wish you the best! read more

First time here, came on the strength of reviews. Not disappointed. All dishes were well cooked, quickly served. Dumplings melted in my mouth. General Tso's was best I've had, tender and spicy. Curry lamb was interesting, couldn't taste much curry but flavor otherwise was robust. We'll be back. read more

The food here is exceptionally good. Great texture, deep flavor, and clearly high-quality ingredients. The Mongolian beef and Kung Pao chicken were both excellent, but my one critique is the way the dried red chilies are chopped up and mixed in. I like heat, but chewing tough dried chili pieces isn't pleasant. Leaving the peppers whole, like many Chinese restaurants do, would let customers push them aside while still enjoying the spice. Rice portions are generous and cooked perfectly. The wonton soup was very good. I wouldn't mind a bit more baby bok choy, but the dumplings tasted fresh and house-made, and the filling was flavorful. Service was friendly and felt authentic. I noticed some lower reviews mentioning checkout confusion, but there's a bit of a language barrier, which is understandable and honestly adds to the authenticity rather than detracting from it. Easy access off 82nd in Portland. The surrounding area isn't my favorite, but the food itself is absolutely worth the stop. read more

It's unfortunate Yelp doesn't allow zero stars. READERS, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED - THIS WASN'T JUST BAD SERVICE, THIS WAS PREDATORY BEHAVIOR. My lunch visit on 9/26/25 turned into one of the most shocking and horrific restaurant experiences I have ever had. There were just two of us for lunch, my friend and I. Our total was $53.75 (honey walnut shrimp and Yang Zhou fried rice from the regular menu, plus eggplant with hot spicy garlic sauce from the lunch menu). I handed over $100 cash and was only given $46 back, not the correct $46.25. It's not about the missing quarter! It's the intentional act of keeping customers' money and immediately demanding more that makes this behavior so brazen and disturbing. This was not sloppy math. This was deliberate intimidation and outright extortion. The staff hostilely and aggressively demanded a tip at the register, repeatedly pointing to the receipt and saying "it's food total only, no tip included", before I even finished counting my change. They then escalated further, pointing directly at our table and saying "I don't see cash tip at the table," while continuing to demand a tip. This harassment went on for several minutes. Time felt like it stopped because we were both beyond shocked that this was happening at all. I asked for clarification: "Do you demand me to tip you?" The staff repeatedly gaslighted me with, "I was just talking to you," while still pointing at the receipt insisting no tip was included. We were a party of only two, there was no automatic gratuity, and the blunt entitlement was undeniable. This is beyond unacceptable! I have been coming here since 2023, bringing family and friends, and recommending it to everyone I know as the best Sichuan cuisine in Portland. Recently, I even brought six friends for their first visit because of my glowing recommendation. After this, all of that goodwill is gone. We left still in shock, horrified by the brazen entitlement, the harassment, and the deliberate act of keeping my change while demanding even more money. I have never experienced anything like this in any restaurant, ever. To all future diners: you have been warned! Do not risk your time, money, or dignity here. read more

Sichuan City Chinese Restaurant - Szechuan Near Me - Happy Valley, Oregon

Hot and sour soup was delicious, probably the best I have ever had. Very silky and fresh rather than a corn starch slurry soup I have had at other places . The fried rice and spring rolls were good too. Friend picked the garlic chicken, it was ok, but not my thing, heavy batter , sauce tasted mostly of the jar of chili garlic sauce. Service was effective but I wouldn't call it friendly. I will def go back for that soup and would love to try some of their more authentic dishes. read more

What a great Chinese restaurant! Everything we ordered was great. Loved the garlic eggplant. Their general Tao's chicken was so good. Service was friendly and fast. And the portions - to say they are generous is a huge understatement. We are visiting from out of state. Wish this was our neighborhood restaurant. read more

We made a beeline to Sichuan city after landing at Pdx. Omg so so good. We got the twice cooked pork and the crispy fish lunch specials. Generous portions, 2 servings of rice came with each. They did not skimp out on chilli oil when we asked for some. The server was really nice and efficient. Also conveniently located near TJ maxx and Winco. read more

I am afraid to review this place, but not for what you think... This place is absolutely the best Sichuan food I have ever had. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. The food is not only fantastic but in portions bigger than you would expect post covid and insert recent inflation. The inside is fun with fun murals which really give the place a cool vibe. My brother in-law brought me here the first time and I was so amazed I needed to come back again with my wife and him. I want to make this place a regular rotation of favorite places, but it is on the opposite of Portland so not a quick trip. My favorite item was the Sweet & Sour Prawns, Tail only and the perfect balance of flavor, and they are prawns not shrimp pretending to by prawns. The Dry Sauteed Green Beens had great spice, flavor and were crispy, I do not like soggy green beans at all, I would eat these every day. Chonqing Chicken was a huge surprise the spice the thin crispy batter and small pieces just felt amazing as I was eating them. I was dipping them also in the sweet and sour of the prawn dish for extra yum. There are so many dishes I still want to try so we have to go back again and again. read more

Sichuan City Chinese Restaurant - Honey Walnut Shrimp核桃虾仁 - Szechuan Near Me - Happy Valley, Oregon

We wanted to try someplace different for Chinese food and found this restaurant conveniently located near Winco. This is not, however, a typical strip mall restaurant. The food was high quality, very flavorful and delicious. The wait staff were very helpful and friendly, recommending some of the favorite dishes, and checking with the cooking staff about ingredients for food intolerance. The waitress kept our water glasses full, but didn't hover. The servings were large and we enjoyed the leftovers. This is our new go to Chinese place. read more

Best Chinese food I've had in Portland. Hands down. We ordered a ton of stuff to be delivered. Beef broccoli, Chicken friend rice, eggflower soup, chowmein noodles and the pork noodle appetizer. Fantastic! Not too salty or greasy. Found my new spot while in PDX. Thanks! read more

At the northern Chinese, I highly recommend this place. Dishes can be spicy, but they can adjust based on your request. They also have warm service. I will come back! read more

It's been so long since I last came here, but the food is still as good as before! My family dined in this time and we ordered the salted egg yolk shrimp ($22.95), triple fresh, which was a mixture of eggplants, string green beans, and potato ($15.95), Chongqing style hot chicken ($18.95), and Yang Zhou fried rice ($16.95). Everything was so delicious, especially the salted egg yolk shrimp and the eggplant dish. There was a perfect amount of salted egg yolk coating the shrimp so that you could still taste the salted egg flavor and it had the perfect amount of crispiness to it. The eggplant dish was so flavorful and came out hot, but it was a little oily. We'd still get this one again! My parents really liked the Chongqing style hot chicken, it was their favorite out of everything. My mom said it had the perfect amount of spice to it and it wasn't too oily. The fried rice was our least favorite out of everything. It was still good, but just a bit bland and I feel like using real ham instead of spam would really elevate the dish. Overall, it was such a satisifying meal and we left feeling full! The prices were a bit higher than before, which is expected, but it was still pretty reasonable. We can't wait to come back! read more

One of my favorite restaurants my boyfriend and I always have in rotation!! The food always comes out hot and delicious each and every single time we visit. We typically get the spicy Sichuan prawns, sweet and sour fish fillet and a type of veggie dish. This time we got the salted egg yolk prawns, and eggplants. And of course the sweet and sour fish fillets. It did NOT disappoint. The prawns were bouncy and supple with each bite- the egg yolk was a perfect salty flavor dusted with ample egg yolk. The eggplant dish was great, I don't normally like eggplant but I will say I will eat eggplant again if I could have it from here every single time! The fish fillet is a perfect sauce coating and lots of pieces are given. The service is fast. We're seated pretty quickly with a menu and water- even during pretty busy dinner hours. Ambiance for the most part is quiet, but there has been some days where it's busy during dinner times making it pretty lively. Lots of parking in the complex. Will always recommend this place to folks. read more

Food here was probably the best chinese I have had! 5 star for food for sure but location and ambiance was meh. It's in a strip mall on 82nd in Happy Valley so if I hadn't read a review in Portland Monthly I would NEVER have known ot given this place a chance. I wanted to knock down a star for that, but I would rather have amazing food at a good price than a fancy location and be charged twice as much. Portions were huge and defintely family sharing friendly. We came here with friends and ordered a few different dishes and I highly encourage you to try things that you wouldn't normally order. As the name suggests, this is Sichuan style food and different than your regular chinese american over sauced cheap chinese. Somethings we ordered were standard because I have a child who wanted chow mein and I myself wanted to try the dry cooked string beans, which can be found at other places but this version was not overly saucy or greasy and def had a kick to them, so I was a fan. We had the Cumin Lamb and it did not taste gamey at all but was thinly sliced tender lamb seasoned with cumin and and chili seasoning that was spicy and full of flavor but not burning hot. It was so good and I highly recommend it!! My friend also ordered a kung pao chicken which is kinda a standard dish but she said it was the best she had ever had. My daughter also ordered the Golden egg yolk tofu, thinking it was firmer and was not happy with the texture as the egg sauce had a bit of graininess to it. HOWEVER, I had some for breakfast and it was so yummy, the silky tofu and egg was a wonderful substitute for eggs with toast this morning! I also love eggplant and had really wanted to try out the mashed eggplant with century egg and green pepper that I had read about but the menu had it listed as something weird like mashed pepper egg or something to that effect. I loved it and have never had anything like it at an asian restaurant. The flavor was really tasty and (beware) there are chunks of green century eggs in there that I really enjoyed but my friend was a lil scared of. Lol. They also seem to be popular for their fish soups and soups in general and if I could get everyone else to share with me I woulda tried it out, but I didn't want to order a $40 huge vat for me to try a cup. But maybe I can find a friend who is more adventurous to go with me! I almost forgot to take some photos so the one I did snap were of the food left after dinner and there was a lot! Such a great bargain for the quality and portion sizes. I can't wait to go back again!! read more

The vibes and food in this restaurant are very authentic. The dishes are plentiful portion wise, and all of the dishes we tried were absolutely delicious. We loved the pork with the steamed buns - that dish is savory and sweet and so very satisfying. Their chow mein was also very tasty. Another favorite of ours was the eggs with tomato - that's such a basic Chinese home style dish but when it's done well, there's just something so addicting about it and they do it right here. read more

Ordered Door Dash from this place during covid. I fell in love with the chow mein. I think it was combination. Finally decided to dine in this week. It was early evening and we were the only ones there, but folks started slowly arriving. Lots of seating. They have one big round table with a lazy susan for a large party. Nice to know. Everything on the menu sounded super good. I ordered the pork chow mein, sweet and sour shrimp and the pork with hot garlic sauce. We started out with a big bowl of egg drop soup. That would definitely feed 4 or even 6 people. It was HUGE! omg the food was delish. If I were at home, I'd lick the last of that hot garlic sauce. It was the right amount if spice and sweetness. The flavor was super yum. I want to go back and try something else off the menu because I have a feeling it's going to taste super good. read more

Food was pretty good, decent portions and I definitely recommend the Chow Mein. Prices were a lil spendy though

Attentive staff. Very nice spot with wall drawings. The food was piping hot. We order the eggplant in hot garlic sauce, sweet and sour fish fillets, and salted egg yolks shrimp. Very generous with the salted yolk on the shrimp. Would definitely recommend these 3 dishes and will be back to try others! read more

In the neighborhood , I wanted to try something new. Saw this place on Google Maps and a small excerpt on PDX Eater about this place. Ordered their hot chicken and fried rice. The chicken has that mala spice to it, which is a Sichuan signature taste that is numbing, but not too spicy...Also, it's perfectly fried . The fried rice could use a bit more msg, but they are very generous with the toppings. I would definitely recommend this place and would come back next time I'm in the area. read more

Called a dozen places to see what was open and only Sichuan City answered. It's a few doors down from Kumi Buffet. We dropped in on a packed Thursday evening (around 7:30pm). Service is bad, even for Chinese standards, but the kitchen is incredibly quick. Our dishes came out in under 10 minutes. The menu is massive. Lunch specials ($12.95 to $13.95) are offered everyday from 11:00am to 2:30pm. - 2x Rice ($1.00 USD each) - Cheng Du twice cooked pork ($16.95 USD) - absolutely massive portion. Nice heat and the pork was tasty. - Eggplant in hot garlic sauce ($14.95 USD) - sauce was too sweet and the eggplant skin was extremely tough. Again, good portion but this dish was poorly executed. Disappointing. Bring a large crew (4 to 6 people) to experience the most of Szechuan eats. Don't expect any service at SC. read more

I came back here with a few more friends so I could order more items to try and share. The service here is still pretty quick. We ordered the mapo tofu, shredded chicken, beef dry pot, Chongqing chicken, Sichuan Bean Jelly, green beans, and a Kung pao chicken just because. The food came out fast one by one. The dishes were pretty tasty and flavorful. The shredded chicken was well seasoned, and the chongqing chicken had the right amount of batter on it. Overall, we all enjoyed our meal and look forward to trying some more different items next time. read more

Was recommended this place by my bfs parents and I absolutely loved it! We had the mapo tofu, chongqing spicy chicken, long beans and roast fish. I highly recommend all of them. In general, I would say the dishes are more fragrant than salty. The beans were super fresh, a tad crunchy and the chicken was super crispy and delicious. For the roast/bake fish, they used a non-catfish fish, which I appreciated because it had more fish taste and texture. Overall, I wouldn't say this is particular better than other highly rated Szechuan restaurants but it's one of the better ones. The dishes are certainly more fragrant and they have the bucket fish if you want to try that. The environment wise, I think if you are looking for instagrammable, this is not the place but if you are looking for a good Szechuan restaurant, this is it. The better Chinese restaurants usually score low in this category but the restaurant is clean so that's enough. read more

Head to TJ Maxx -Winco plaza to find Sichuan City, and look to the back wall of businesses near TJ's. Lots of free parking out front in this plaza. Excellent lunch stop post nearby 24-hr Fitness workout and so awesome they have Lunch Specials 11-2:30PM too!! $12-13.95 with 2 cups of rice. No soup or fortune cookies, condensed options but better produce and sauce profiles. I'd definitely opt for these dishes overlooking those serving the minimal extras, Stir-Fried Fish Fillet $12.95 had heaps of delicate fillets, prob 12-14 pcs in a light and very mild sesame oil sauce with garlic & ginger that clung to thin petals of dark brown mushrooms like a wood ear but floral shaped... Never seen these before much less in a lunch special, yum! Slicers of celery and carrot add crisp textural contrast for the winner discovery dish and the year has just begun, what a treat! Hubby loves his spicy Kung Pao cluck cluck chicken though Sichuan City held back their Szechuan peppercorn fire power here. Next time they will definitely have permission to unleash more heat and less sugary sweet but still a very enjoyable dish of larger chopped chicken, peanuts and green onions. No celery carrots water chestnuts per the more common versions. Will skip the $2 pot of tea next time, it's hot and plentiful just lacking depth of flavor despite the dark brew color. The long rectangular standard mall space dining room has several large round tables and squared ones doubled up, so dinner times are sure to fill quickly so count on waiting if you come casually or book ahead for your larger party because itsa happening at Sichuan City! read more

Wow. So good, soo cheap and sooo biiig. If you can try to bring a hungry ass team so u can try more stuff, each entree can easily feed 3-4 and they're normal priced for portland restaurants at around $18-20! Not sure if they are related to Sichuan taste in downtown portland but very similar menu, not as much weird shit like hot pot gizzards and bullfrogs lol but still quite expansive, and I'm sure you could find something on there you'd never dare eat. - Duck necks: not sure what I was expecting but yup they were just duck necks. Served cold which was interesting. Not very meaty but there's a good pile of them. Had a bit of 5 spice flavor w/ some peppercorn afterburn. Def not a first date app, there's no way to eat it w/o gnawing like a dog. - Wonton soup: simple but delicious. Also huge w/ a ton of wontons & we were pleasantly surprised by the addition of chicken and shrimp. The chicken was so tender too. $14 for like a half gallon haha. - Fried rice: as an Asian sometimes I feel silly for ever paying for this but it's honestly nice to have as a side dish. Very light and fluffy, not greasy. - Szechuan Hot Beef Soup: my go to order at Sichuan places, perfect amount of numbing peppercorn spice and toons of tender beef. This place is tied w/ Sichuan Taste for the best Chinese restaurants I've been to anywhere ever. It is NOT Chinese-American which is why I like it, but you could still bring someone who only likes Panda Express as they have some of the Kung pao & orange chicken type stuff for those afraid of real flavor. The two of us spent $70 for all that food plus a beer and after we ate as much as we could possibly fit (til it was painful) we left w/ about 7 more meals to go. Incredible value honestly don't know how they can charge that low. Service is very efficient and Chinese. read more

Our food was great and the service was exceptional. What's not to like? Get on in and enjoy!

Still great! We always order the beef in golden broth and the sweet and sour ribs! Usually we get one or two other things to try! The dumplings on chili oil are really great! Eggplant is my favorite of the veggie options! The people working inside (assuming husband and wife duo?) are always very friendly! Try to park as far away from Winco as possible. Not the greatest parking lot. But always worth the trip here. They also package to-go orders in quality containers that do not leak, assuming everything stays upright! read more

Beef Tendon $15 ~ was just about delicious but was mouth puckering salty. Pork Wonton in Chili Oil 7 little bites for $8 ~ unusually saltier than spicy. Vegetable Tofu Soup $13 ~ cute little hot pot, tofu crispy on the outside and delicate on the inside. And to our wonder...salty. Could not finish but half of each dish before the bloating was a signal of high blood pressure. Service was casual friendly. Bathroom disgusting. Loved the cartoon like wallpaper. With no background music your ears tune to other diners smack on their food. One can taste an authenticity to the flavors (excusing the sodium overload) that is more than the typical americanized Chinese cuisine. read more

I have been craving some good Sichuan food recently after I was re-watching videos of my favorite food vlogger, Mikey Chen. Thankfully I came across Sichuan City and I simply had to try. What I ordered: -Beef Chow Mein -Shrimp Fried Rice -Jade Tofu with Shrimp -Chongqing Style Hot Chicken -Eggplant in Hot Garlic Sauce Let me just say, Absolute yes on the Chongqing Style Hot Chicken. It was crispy and hint of spice. If you love tofu as much as me then a definite yes on the Jade Tofu. The eggplant was good, but a bit too saucy for me.
