One of the best new Chinese restaurants in thebDDW metroplex. The foods are traditional Szechuan cuisine and are of high quality, hence the somewhat higher prices than most restaurants. Most of the dishes are elegantly plated, and some dishes even come in a bird's nest. read more

Lots of choices and the staff are courteous and efficient. Portion is pretty good and prices are reasonable.

Service is horrible and the lady is so rude!Unpleasant experience!Won't go back any more. I visited you last November for hot pot.We spent about 100 dollars and the service was so horrible that I don''t think your service was worth 15$ tip.But you DEMANDed me to pay at least 15$!Good tips are for good service!You have no right to demand people to pay an 15% !When I posted it my horrible experience,you ask when I went to visit you?Can't I make comments about my experience before?You have time limit for the customers' comment time??What are you?First compulsory 15% tips,now time regulation for costumers' comment time?What are you?a government? read more

Very average food and service. I had the salt and pepper prawn which has way too much pancake batter. It was too doughy and that's not how it should be cooked. Also minus a star because they didn't do lunch special on July 5th a Monday. read more

We searched out a new Chinese restaurant and landed upon Sichuan Folk. 5 stars from my Yelp family. It's got to be awesome. We enjoyed very good service and everyone was kind. We started with Cold Spicy Noodles. Although I love this dish at another restaurant, I didn't love it here. But you know how it is. Every restaurant has their own recipe and flavor profile. We also had Yushan eggplant that was very good and plentiful. The basil chicken was delicious and well-seasoned. The Yushang beef was also excellent with the most tender beef. It also included several pieces of black fungus. It was my first time but I liked it as well. Sichuan Folk is a nice restaurant with good people. It's certainly worth dropping in for meal. read more

I really like this place. Everything was spicy and delicious! We ordered spicy beef noodle, Dan Dan noodles, spicy wontons, scallion pancakes, and dumplings. I tell ya, I ate it all up and wasn't even sorry. The beef noodles-flavorful broth, nice texture to the noodles, and a good amount of beef. The spicy dumplings-the sauce is the winner here. Some sweetness with a good amount of spice to it. The dumplings are also so good with a good ratio of dough to meat-not too thick and cooked perfectly. I would and have been back here several times. It is now my favorite. Even my husband, who is a picky eater, loves this place. read more

I used to come in here all the time when I was still dating my ex who lives in Plano (I live in North Richland Hills lol an hour away pretty much), and tbh I miss the food here more than him The food was literally ALWAYS great, and the service was always good... Both friendly and efficient. Since im not from China, I can't exactly rightfully comment on the authenticity of the food, but I used to go to a Chinese church for 5 years and ate lots of homemade Chinese food, so I can say that from that experience, the food here is up to par with my "authentic" standards. I wish this place would become a chain and open in Fort Worth, where there is a huge void of legit Chinese food. My favorite dish is the Basil Chicken, my ex loved the Beef rolls. I miss coming here so much :( read more

My 1st visit / carry out from here. Got Kung pao chicken and eggplant . Poor taste and Got upset stomach immediately after eating this today. Very very disappointed on giving them my business. Will never order here again and never recommend to anyone read more

This is the best Sichuan restaurant I've been to in the DFW area. If you want some spicy, bold flavored and authentic Chinese food, then this is definitely the place for you. We told them that we didn't want our dishes to be too salty, oily or with any MSG and this is one of the few Chinese restaurants in the DFW area that could do that and still make all the dishes extremely tasty. The service was great from the start. Different servers constantly came over to check on us to make sure that everything was great. My personal favorite dish was the yuxiang eggplant and my husband loved the crispy chicken with the chili peppers. The mapo tofu with fish was great too. Basically if you love spicy food, then this is the place for you. I love trying all types of hot peppers. The Sichuan peppers are very special. They are actually fragrant and sometimes leave a numbing sensation in your mouth. It might sound scary but it is really not. It's hard to describe until you taste the Sichuan peppers in your food. Just FYi, they charge $1.25 per person for tea. read more

Love coming to this restaurant! Some of our favorites include the spicy dumplings, Dan Dan noodles, cumin lamb, spicy fried fish and general tso chicken. The tables are always clean and the staff are nice and accommodating. Will come back to try the hot pot soon! read more

I always pass by this place and yesterday finally tried it. The restaurant is a decent size and it wasn't too busy when we got there. We ordered the Chung dumplings, scallion pancake, beef tendon/pig ears, Sichuan green beans, and the crispy chicken with chili. Out of the appetizers I'd say the dumplings were the best. It was tender on the inside with good flavor. The scallion pancake and tendon/pig ear were also pretty good but nothing mind blowing. For the entrees, the Sichuan green beans to me were not very good. The flavor was there but the green beans were overcooked and overly soft. I prefer mine to be crispy/crunchy. The crispy chicken was delicious and they give you bigger pieces of chicken than most of the Sichuan restaurants I've tried. Overall the service and food was pretty good. It would've been 5 stars had it not been for the green beans being overcooked and the child in the corner screaming at the top of his lungs at his mother. The staff kind of just let this happen for a good 15-20 minutes before the family left. read more

Yum! One of our favorite Sichuan restaurants, if not our favorite. We loved our spicy fish in soup, wok fried chicken with chilis, and fried shrimp with salted egg yolk. Flavors are on point! Prices are great too. Will definitely be coming back lot and lots of times. read more

Definitely my favorite Sichuan place in the DFW area. Never been disappointed by a dish, though I do wish they used more Sichuan peppercorns for that incredible mouth-numbing sensation. But the food is flavorful, spicy when it should be, and not when it shouldn't. Portion size and price are also great. Favorite dishes: twice cooked fish, twice cooked pork with chilies, salted egg yolk shrimp, basil chicken, basil eggplant, and salt and pepper squid. read more

Sichuan Folk - Mixed cold appetizers: pig ear, bamboo and the tongue and tendon - Szechuan Near Me - Plano, Texas

Absolutely loved this place. There is an abundance of American Chinese food but it's so difficult to find authentic Chinese food. I'm absolutely delighted to have been here. My husband and I arrived around 7 pm and it was about 80% full. And when you see the customers you know you are at right spot. We could see a lot of Asian origin customers, and some others too. We were excited to see the menu and wanted to order everything. We decided on dan dan noodles (my all time favorite), twice cooked pork, deep fried chicken with dried chili pepper, and wontons with chili sauce. I'm in love with dan dan noodles here. It was perfectly spiced and the flavor was amazing. The twice cooked pork and chicken dish were amazing too. I didn't like the wontons much, because I could only taste the sauce and nothing in wontons, but I'm going to ignore it. Maybe order something else next time. All in all, can't wait to go back read more

Very good. Deep fried fish with roasted chilli, Boiled fish in spicy oil sauce, cumin lamb, Yu Shan shrimp are the highlights for me.

Food is great but customer service is absolutely terrible. If they get a order wrong they will just turn you away and just tell you to buy the correct dish again and pretend i ordered what i ordered when clearly im not wanting salty egg water shrimp when i ordered salted egg fried shrimp. They really have to get their customer service in check. I come here all the time since i work in the same plaza this place is located and this is how they do business. read more

I hate this give this place only 3 stars, because the bullfrog hot pot is the best hot pot I've had around DFW (also because hot pot places are very mediocre around DFW). I just had to take 2 stars off since 3 out of 5 times I've had it, I had to basically live in the bathroom for the whole the day following...same thing happened to my friends, so I suspect whatever they put into the food here are questionable. After all, it's not uncommon for Chinese hot pot places to recycle soup bases...and no, it's not because the food was too spicy, I grew up eating VERY spicy food. Regardless, the hot pot was definitely spicy, so if you can't handle VERY spicy food (ie your exposure to spicy food is only Asian fusion or you can't even handle the extra hot ramen served at Oni Ramen), please do yourself a favor and don't order it or at least ask the owner to make it less spicy. Please don't be that person who ends up in an ambulance because of eating spicy Chinese food...seriously, I'm not joking I've had some regular dishes as well, personally I was very disappointed. They were below average, but maybe because of the food that I ordered? read more

This was the most disgusting Chinese food I have ever ate . Will not return I think I was eating something other than what i ordered. Highly expensive... read more

The place was ok. I ordered the double fried pork and homestyle tofu. The pork was more like fat than meat, and dish were heavily cooked with hot chili oil. If you eat here, make sure you order tea! FOOD: 3/5 SERVICE: 4/5 AMBIANCE: 4/5 read more

My mom and I picked up some food here after doing some shopping at H Mart which is literally next door to this restaurant. The restaurant inside is clean, nice, and spacious, and there are plenty of tables to dine in with a small or big group. This is definitely a place I would like to take my whole family to for next time. We ordered just two items which are our usual picks for Chinese food: salt and pepper fish filet and mongolian beef, with a side of rice of course. We were impressed with the taste and quality of the food. I would have to say this was the best salt and pepper fish I've ever had, and I've had many great versions of it. The fish is perfectly fried, and the pepper aspect in this version is excellent. The mongolian beef had a distinct spice to it, which we loved. Both dishes were a little spicier than your normal version, but we loved it. We definitely want to come back and order these dishes, and try more as well. Ordering take out was pretty fast and easy. I'm sure we would have a great experience dining in in the future. Overall, an easy five stars for this place, just for the food alone. I can't wait to try more. read more

4 stars because Food is good, but there's not a sense of urgency for the waiting guests. It seems very chaotic after you put your name down. The food here are very authentic sichuan style foods. Mouth numbing spicy as my wife put it. If you are into spicy foods like me, you should try the spicy dumpling. Double fried pork belly was on the salty side but tasted great with rice. Dan Dan noodle was tasty and the spicy tofu stews are amazing. So the food here is just amazing, very crowded, waiting is long because it's just chaotic how many people do come here, and they do hot pot. Very reasonable price and great place for any take out foods. We'll definitely be back! read more

Authentic Sichuan food especially when you're craving Chinese food! This is a place I'll bring the whole family! There's aleast a wait when I go even when it's take out! read more

I rarely go north of 635, but when I do it's for great Asian food, and Sichuan Folk didn't disappoint. When we first sat down they handed us the "American menu," but after asking our waiter for his recommendations he took our menus away and brought us the traditional Chinese menu, which had way better options. The dumplings (not pictured because we ate them too fast) were the best I've ever had. We took our waiter's recs and ordered chili fried chicken and cumin lamb and both were wonderful. read more

The hands down best Sichuan in the DFW so far. The food is solid, and obviously your experience may differ depending on which dishes you order, as a chef's ability to recreate authentic flavors can vary with a menu this large. However I have enjoyed everything I ordered. The service is also leagues above the other Sichuan joint I used to frequent not too far away. It is actually pleasant to dine here, as it doesn't feel like an inconvenience to the server like in the aforementioned establishment serving the same regional cuisine. I like the appetizer dumplings, pepper steak, salted egg yolk shrimp or lobster, dry hot pot, twice cooked pork, crispy spicy chicken, and some other staples. I would explore more unknown dishes but have yet to go with other gastro-adventurous individuals. Have yet to try their hot pot section. If you are so inclined to venture off the beaten path (and I highly recommend you do), ask for advice or better yet...ask for the "other" menu! read more

I loved their basil eggplants, they were crunchy and flavorful. Cold noodles were good as well. I was disappointed in their garlic pork ribs and the duck dish; they were really nothing special. Overall, it's a good Sichuan restaurant, and the service was good when we were there that night. read more

Food was average. Customer service by server was average. Business practice engages in false advertising and tried to commit fraud intentionally. Ordered J04 item from menu. Clearly listed on menu around $14. Restaurant tried charging $18+ for it. Spoke with server who said it's the price programmed into their computer system. They called the manager/owner to speak with us. Manager/owner lady confirmed she knows there's a difference in listed price vs programmed price. She had the audacity to complain loudly to surrounding customers that we're the first ones to point out the deceptive practice (listing one price and charging a higher price after the meal). Definitely NOT trustworthy and highly NOT recommended. read more

Very authentic Chinese restaurant. Personally, the menu was too authentic for me. Pig foot, etc. Did not have crab wonton or some of things I am accustomed to at Chinese restaurants. None of the menu items had any explanation as to what they were.The vegetable lo mein was good, and so was the sesame chicken. There did not appear to be dessert. The restaurant was very clean and pretty nice. read more

A little disappointing. We saw that this place was on a best of DFW list and ordered. Several of our dishes were flavorless and didn't include steamed rice. The best thing was the egg drop soup and dumplings. read more

Seriously my favorite sichuan restaurant in dfw now!!! The food (hotpot and regular dishes) are excellent! Service is always good. If i lived down the road i'd probably eat there every week. Okay i'm biased towards sichuan food but the quality and flavor of this restaurant is indeed better than some of the other restaurants in town. read more

Great food and service! Mostly everything we ordered here were good. Sometimes the salted egg shrimps can be overcooked though...

Celebrated lunar News Years here today. As always the food was out -standing! Such diversity and flavor. So authentic. If your not adventurous they have food for you, if your looking for some unusual by American standards they have that too. So so good. Give it a try. read more

#badservice #rudewaiter # This was by far the worst customer experience I have had in any restaurant in close to 20 years of living in the US. My wife and I were in Plano area for some work, and since it was lunch time ( 1:30pm) we decided to eat at a nearby restaurant. Did a quick yelp/Google review, and decided to give Sichuan Folk a try. We got seated, and noticed there were hardly 3 booths occupied. Perhaps due to the time ( a little after 1:45pm) since the place had a good rating. We ordered from our waiter, who looked like he was only big enough to be in high school. Since my wife had to webex into a business call, we requested our waiter if he could reduce or stop the loud hip hop music that was playing in the restaurant for 5-10 minutes. The music did not seem to fit in with the demographic anyhow, and the waiter nodded his head and went away. Well, the music was still loud after a couple of minutes, so I waved at the waiter to get his attention. He walked ( swaggered is a better word though) towards our booth and said that he could not turn the music off since other people in the restaurant were listening to it. I looked around and again saw 3 booths/tables seated with clients that clearly did not fit the demographic that enjoy loud hip hop music. I then politely asked him to bring me take out boxes since we would need to pack everything up and leave so my wife could take the call from a quieter place. He swaggered back, came back with some boxes and the check. At this point, I asked him if I could talk to the owner before I left. I wanted to let the owner know that I was leaving the restaurant half way through a meal during off peak time due to loud music. He responded sure, and then walked away from the booth. I waved him back after a minute, and by now I was getting agitated with his nonchalant behavior. I again asked him who the owner was, and he said I can find out myself! What??? I said how would I know who the owner was? He again just told me to go find out myself. That was it! I walked up to leave, walked towards the front and asked who the owner was. The lady only spoke Chinese, and there was another waiter around, so I just basically told them that they had rude staff on duty and I was going to simply walk out of the restaurant. The lady and the waiter followed me as I walked out of restaurant, and asked me to pay up before I leave!!!! I explained the whole situation, which went through a translation from the waiter to the chinese lady. I asked if the rude waiter was the owners son, since he continued to be fiesty with us, and even pointed to a Cop car in the strip mall to call on us! That's it, I am beyond shocked with this restaurant. The Chinese lady, and the other waiter ( our interpreter) were clearly trying to protect this guy. They were clearly more concerned about getting my $25 than controlling their rude waiter on duty. Clearly, this was an episode of racism. I doubt they would ask any of the chinese clients or any white person to first pay the bill no matter what transpired. I am definitely not stepping into this restaurant again, as they made it clear they will protect their staff no matter what. I still have Royal Sichuan, Sichuan King ( both in RIchardson) and Jeng Chi that are my usual haunts for last 5 years, I only happened to try this out since I was in the area for work. BEWARE OF THIS RACIST PLACE, IF YOU ARE NOT AN ASIAN (READ CHINESE) OR WHITE, ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK. read more

Always past by here but never got the chance to try it out until now. When I got there, it wasn't that packed yet until later. They have the options of regular dining in or hot-pot. I chose the regular dining in since I was craving for Sichuan dishes. I love how the booth chairs were high enough to cover other people convo/faces sitting in front/behind our booth; since booth tables are usually not high enough. The service was very quick and the servers were bilingual=AWESOME! When the food came out, I was shocked since the portion was hugeee! Barely could finish the food for 2 people. The food tasted great but the seasoning was a little bit salty for my taste. That didn't bothered me. I'll definitely come back to try the hot pot! read more

On the night of November 12th, we disappointed ourselves by dining at Sichuan Folk (巴蜀人家). Because it's a buffet, we ordered accordingly. You mark the quantity on a sheet of paper of the items you pick. It was on a Monday night so the restaurant wasn't very busy. We were a table of 12. It was definitely manageable. They had 3 servers plus the owners were there too. With a dozen people at our table, instead of going off of what we had checked on the order sheet, they brought an amount that wouldn't even feed the half of us. For example, we were literally served with 5 shrimps, 6 eggs (which we had ordered 12) and etc. Most importantly, they charge customers for the sauces. We repeatedly informed the servers (all 3 of them) that we wanted the sauces recorded on the order sheet. Every one of them failed to accomplish this one simple task or to provide the service we deserved. We decided to extend our frustration to the owner to which she replied with an aggressive attitude, "if you didn't have enough, you should've just ordered more." "So why do we even have an order sheet? You might as well just bring us whatever and however much you feel like", I stated. One of the three servers with the most seniority in age started yelling at us "people like you aren't welcomed here." The argument prolonged to where she started insulting my mother "F#@% your mom" was used in Chinese. She thinks we are intentionally causing troubles. Keep in mind, the owner was right beside her the entire time. No action was taken by her. She kept silent as she lets her employee degrade us in front of the whole restaurant. Moments later, the owner brought the chef out and the other two servers and told THEM to explain and apologize. By then, we were already furious by the service. Not to mention, the server that insulted us vulgarly didn't even come to apologize. The owner still remained nonchalant and just pushes the responsibility onto their servers. No accountability whatsoever. What should have been done are immediate sincere apologies and effort to improve to prevent events like this from happening again. NOT let her server yell at us unprofessionally to emphasize very insulting curse words and act as if this has nothing to do with her. We even caught glances of her smirking. It was extremely irritating to watch. Our whole experience was terrible and infuriating. read more
