This is probably the best Chinese restaurant in the area, or at least it's our #1 favorite. The one thing that really stands out the most to us is their Sichuan Beef Stew Noodle Soup, which I've praised so many times in my previous reviews so I'm not gonna repeat myself so that I don't sound like a broken record, but it's just so good! Another thing we ordered when we visited this restaurant yesterday was the Sichuan Cumin Beef. I honestly forgot how much we liked this dish. The way they cooked it yesterday was incredible. Every bite was packed with flavor (savory, very cumin-y and spicy!) , and even the veggies were fully infused with it. It went perfectly with steamed rice. I want to give a warning though, because this dish was extremely spicy, which I personally loved. I liked it so much that I ended up ordering another one to go so I could keep eating it at home over the next few days, lol. I also want to give a shout out to the guy who was basically single-handedly running the restaurant yesterday. He saw us walk in carrying a car seat and offered us a high chair, but he flipped it upside down so we could safely place the car seat on it. Such a simple back but genius. On top of that, he was super friendly the entire time. The restaurant was pretty empty, which is pretty normal for this restaurant whenever we visit it, although they seem to get a lot of takeout orders - happy for them. The empty restaurant actually worked out perfectly for us since we had a baby with us, haha. Overall, it was a really good dining experience, and I'd definitely keep coming back whenever I'm in the area. read more

The food earns 4 stars, but the service was a 2. We visited on a weekend and there was only one server, Rambo, working the entire floor. While he was working incredibly hard, it's unfair to both the staff and the customers to have a "one-man show" during dinner rush. We waited 30 minutes for drinks and a full hour for food--which is nearly impossible when you have a hungry toddler with you. We ordered a non-spicy dish (lotus root) for our toddler, but it arrived spicy anyway. Since we couldn't wait another hour for a remake, she ended up just eating white rice. To top it off, our beef tripe and blood in hot pot broth dish arrived without the blood. When we finally flagged Rambo down, he explained they intentionally exclude it because some customers find it "smelly." As a Chinese customer who specifically ordered the dish for the blood, I found this frustrating and deceptive. If an ingredient is being removed from a titled dish, guests must be notified upfront. We enjoyed the flavors of the spicy tan tan noodles, lotus root, black pepper lamb, and ma-po tofu, but the management needs to hire more weekend staff. We'll stick to takeout from now on. read more

Really good Sichuan food with bold flavor. We ordered the pork intestines, shrimp fried rice spicy beef boiled and everything was delicious. The service was good, and the food came out quickly. Definitely one of my go-to spots for Sichuan food! read more

I was craving SIchuan Chinese food as it was not readily available in VA. My wife discovered this near our favorite movie theater so we dropped in for lunch and I thrilled we did. We started with the hot and sour soup which was great and then the main dishes of salt and pepper prawns and Kung pow chicken. We enjoyed the meal and the tasty tea. Service was excellent and I'm thrilled we found a great spot for lunch or dinner. read more

We were celebrating my friend's birthday and she decided she wanted to give this place a try. I honestly never noticed this restaurant before, since it is off the Main Street, but I am always down to try our new places. There is ample seating inside, and we were sat towards the back in a secluded area. The waitress that day looked to be an older lady and she was running the entire store in terms of waiting. Vegetable Fried Rice: Pretty simple and straightforward. Ample amount to share between 5 of us. The vegetables and rice were cooked nicely. Cumin Lamb: This has such an overwhelming aroma of the cumin spice. This was not subtle at all, and if you like cumin, this is the dish for you. The lamb meat was cooked thoroughly and I enjoyed the flavors overall, but I found it a bit too strong and aromatic for me. Shredded pork in garlic sauce: My favorite dish that we ordered. The pork was cooked well and the sauce was delicious. I always enjoy this dish when I go out to eat and this place did it justice. Shredded Potato Spicy: This was a rather interesting dish. Just shredded potatoes. We asked for spicy, and I honestly couldn't tell you if it was spicy or not. It was subtle. I honestly wished we tried the sour and spicy version now, since I honestly didn't find anything too special about it. Overall, I had a great time with my friends trying this place out. Would I try it again? Probably read more

Ordered the spicy crispy beef - based on other reviews it looked like the way to go. I was disappointed, it was way too dry, no side sauces of any kinds and it was also too salty. Not sure what all the hype is. Nice people though. Also I had to ask for water.... Strange. read more

Man this place must have changed hands. I ordered chicken clay pot and it was $16.99. Ya think they would throw in a scoop of freaking RICE? WONT GO BACK AGAIN! read more

sweet lady greeted us . delicious smells. i got lunch special of fish with garlic, broccoli & rice with no spice.,very tasty sauce and fish cooked perfectly. my husband got spicy crispy beef with veggies and rice and the dried green beans with small chopped onions and garlic were delightfully crispy, slightly charred and very tasty. best chinese fiood I've had in years anywhere. i llive in Napa and have become hesitant about getting chinese food. sichuan Fortune house has restored my appetite and we will be coming back. read more

Man!! Such delicious food. And the owner is so nice and sweet (small lady with a bob) I would highly recommend the ChongQing fried chicken - so freaking good. The spice... the crunch... the garlic.... Yum. The honey walnut prawns are probably the best I've had in a long time. The pickled boiled fish is such a great palette cleanser - especially with all the rich flavors. Pea sprouts with garlic is always good. I hope they get more business! Their location is in a hard area, but I am rooting for them! Will be back with all my friends and family :) read more

Always delicious and with the best service! Eat in or take to go it's a great choice with quality food and large servings

Went out for lunch with 3/10/24 Sichuan is located in a quiet area. Outside, no wannabe macho men making vehicular racket. Inside, no misbehaving parents training their children to be noisy neighbors. My not so clean daughter had Some Nerve to complain about smudge in her teacup. The waiter explained that "the cups are clay and the tea stain is impossible to remove". I'm thinking of calling it tea patina maybe? The service and presentation was Fine, Almost Everything tasted delicious. That interesting Szechuan spice yummy umm. Moist pork shoulder with crunchy and chewy skin oh yes.. Lip numbing tofu squares pressing sweetly on my tongue! Save me! Take me back for more! Ok I'm getting carried away but it was a very good meal and worth 60 miles on the odometer. Almost all the dishes were perfect. The only complaints? The potsticker wrapper was a bit chewy. Also the Walnut Prawns were conspicuously short on walnuts and one son wanted more sweet sauce on them. I found them refreshingly not too sweet. Check out the pics. And visit my new gem in Pleasant Hill. read more

Fantastique! Magnifique! All the good things. Wonderful vegetables and wontons. Will definitely come back whenever I'm in the area.

Speaking as a Sichuan local, I can vouch for how authentic the Sichuan food here is. Their Northeastern dishes are great too, prices are fair, and the service is excellent. If you're in the area, definitely give it a try! read more

Standard prices for small portions and only mediocre food. if the portions were 50% bigger or the prices were 50% lower then this would be a four star review probably. The egg rolls, spicy crispy beef, and pork chow fun were all fine, not a ton of flavor, but tasty enough. The General Tzo's chicken was mostly breading (and not much chicken) and the sauce was more of a boring sweet sauce than anything with much spice or flavor. read more

Friendly, polite folks. Best to order take out in person. Over the phone, a hot mess. In person you can show from the menu and actually get what you ordered. The dishes are well made with fresh ingredients. The in restaurant is a easy going and relaxed. I return because of the quality food. read more

I love SzeChuan style. Recently there are couple different similar ones open in Concord/Pleasant Hill area. After searching Yelp, I noticed that there is another one in Pleasant Hill that I have never tried before. This is the one. I pick the time when they just opened for the business. You can tell this is not a new establishment (later learn that they have been in business for 20? Years) but they keep it pretty clean, which I prefer to be a clean environment. All the different dishes that we order are awesome, I like everything. The price and the portion they provide is just right I think. Staff is willing to give us room to think and leave us alone. For a small business like this, they earn 5 starts in my opinion and I will definitely try it again. read more

I haven't been here in over 8 yrs. Cousins invited us to dinner. They're regulars here. Service was cool. We had the seafood soup, Sichuan spicy crispy chicken, sautéed green pea sprouts, and a braised tofu beef stew clay pot dish and rice. The food was salty, but not overwhelmingly. The rice was not fresh. But all the dishes were really good and the best part was the company of course. Came to pick up some To-go and met the owner. I'm guessing she is. Really nice young lady. Great customer service. Did you know they open 7 days a week 365 days a year! They'll be open for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's! I have to respect the hustle. So I'm giving them 5 stars! We ordered the Chong Qing Style boneless Chicken, and the Beef stew clay pot with tofu. Both are really good and the pickled cabbage that looks like kimchi is delish too. Ordered the braised tofu and cod mustard green soup Togo. It was ok. It was really healthy. Probably won't get these two dishes again. We will be back often. read more

My cousin recommended this place so we went here for early dinner (6pm). The restaurant had limited parking spot and lots of take out customers came. The dining area was pretty big with lots of tables. However, there was only 2 ladies serving all the tables & the take out orders, so it took a while to catch their attention for ordering. - Sichuan spicy crispy beef: delicious! The beef was super crispy yet the meat inside wasn't tough. It was a tad sweet & very spicy. But we love it! - Spicy shredded potato: good. Potato was soft yet still had some crunch. Not too salty & good amount of spice. - Prawn with honey glazed walnut: super good! The prawn pieces were big & cooked perfectly. The honey glazed sauce was good - not too sweet & just enough sauce. Taste wise, the food was delicious! However, my only complaint was the portion. They were quite small for the price. After the 3 adults finished the meal, we were still a bit hungry. We would come back to try other items when we are in the area. read more

Great food nice owners. Good portions and delicious. Exactly the type of chow mein I like with no little corns or water chestnuts. Spicy eggplant was also great. read more

Service was quick and the waiter was very very kind, even when there were some unpleasant and straight up very rude customers there. He kept his professionalism to the highest and continued to provide quick and efficient service. The food was also very good! Salt and pepper fish was the best dish we had. Dipped it in the mapo tofu and sauce and the chili oil won ton sauce. Would come again whenever I'm in the area. Thank you! read more

The food here is good. I especially like that they use high-quality jasmine rice. Many Chinese restaurants use cheap rice and you can tell the difference. I got the Mongolian chicken. It's a bit bland compared to some of the places I go to. Yet, it was still good. I would definitely like to come here and have a sitdown dinner. That way I can try a few of the different dishes. Update... Well, I tried their Dry Cooked Green Beans and they were overcooked!!! They were overcooked and shriveled! Which is a shame... since this is one of my favorite dishes at other restaurants. read more

Ordered via grub hub at 7pm. Waited as usual. A hour passed, with no updates online about the status besides they received my order and no message on Grubhub or text from driver When I called the Restaurant expressed confusion which i understood as they did not get the order I placed a hour ago Next morning, food is on my doorstep and was on my doorstep all night. Mostly seafood. Would you rather it if it sat out on your doorstep? read more

The best crispy, spicy beef. My sister and I go often. My nephew goes every time he's home from college. Nice people and great food.

People don't realize what a special thing it is to have a really good Sichuan restaurant! We had one in Santa Cruz but they retired & closed down. The foot is so flavorful and spicy, and looks great. I have go-to's, and they are scrumptious. You guys better keep this place going, because when I pass through, I stop in. read more

I came here with my parents and the food is very authentic Chinese. My parents loved the pork rib soup. Pork was tender and the soup was very tasty. The shrimp was very crispy and spicy .

Overall good except not spicy! It's not Sichuan if it's not spicy. Read on. I ordered the crispy fried tofu. This is one of my favorite dishes from any Sichuan place. Normally it should come with fried tofu, red chili and Chinese pepper (the one that makes your tongue numb) and jalapeños. The spice actually due to jalapeños and mostly the Chinese peppers. I had this dishes in many forms from various places over US, but it always comes with (1) tofu (2) Chinese peppers. This one comes with fried tofu and red chilis! So not spicy at all, I was craving for Sichuan food and the signature of Sichuan dishes is their chili spice. Anyway coming to positive the tofu is very firm and crispy. Really amazing tofu. 4 stars for the amazing crispy tofu. I will definitely reorder when I don't crave Sichuan but crispy tofu. My kudos to chef, just fry some Chinese peppers in the same oil and the dish is golden. You already overcame the hardest part, making crispy tofu that is firm inside! read more

Great food! For the vegans out there, they confirmed that everything on their menu under "Delightful Vegetables" is vegan (no fish sauce, oyster sauce, pork broth, etc. which is common in a lot of Chinese dishes). We got the Chongqing chicken, green beans, and spicy crispy tofu. The tofu wasn't as crispy as we were expecting, but the flavor was great. You can definitely taste the ma-la from the Sichuan peppercorns, but it wasn't overwhelming. read more

I've been on the hunt for good Chinese food in the east bay and the name of this place caught my eye. I ordered the Kung PAO chicken and it was fantastic. The beef chow mein was okay but could use more flavor. The food came with a side of vinegar cabbage, not kimchi but it was really good. I came here because I love sichuan style Chinese food and hunan. Even though it wasn't as spicy as I would have liked it was still pretty good. read more

Sichuan Fortune House is off a Main Street in pleasant hill with its own parking lot as well as street parking. Inside has a good amount of seating and the tables are nicely spaced out. Staff is so friendly and sweet and always remembers their regulars. Our favorites are the hot and sour soup, twice cooked pork, fish fillet in garlic sauce, honey walnut prawns, and sliced pork belly. Everything always comes out hot and really good. The portions are generous but we always over order because there's so many things to try on the menu. Great place for takeout or dine in if you're in the area! read more

Wow, what an undiscovered secret around Concord! Truly excellent food, an elegant setting, and top notch service. They even opened for us when we showed up a little early. I highly recommend this restaurant when the urge for Chinese hits! read more

My 2 sons love this place so we visit at least once a month. Since Covid, they have not been as busy which is typical of many places since 2020. No matter what, the food is tasty, fresh, creative and we always discover something new when we come. So if you are thinking about trying Sichuan, please give this place a try! (The spice level can be adjusted) My teen loves the twice cooked pork, the pork and cabbage dumplings, my 1st grader loves the crispy pan fried noodle with vegetables and meat, the hand cut flat noodles. My husband and I enjoy anything in a hot pot like lamb or seafood with tofu and the combination pan fried rice cake. Enjoy! read more

Qiongqing Spicy Chicken is perhaps my favorite, and their Ma Po Tofu, Hot and Sour Soup, and Double Cooked Pork Belly as well as Mongolian Beef is among the best I've ever had. having lived in London and NYC and visited China on several occasions. Vegetarian options are all very good too. read more
