Kristina B.

We came in for lunch on Christmas Eve. There's were a handful of patrons, and it was rather chill. It was fun to hear staff singing Christmas music and I think, even though it was practically summer outside, it felt like the holiday spirit was hitting! The restaurant is small, but spacious and had a very open and welcoming feel. We were immediately seated and given time to explore the menu. We ordered the salt and pepper fish, kung pow chicken, and tofu with vegetables, bbq buns, spring rolls, and pork dumplings. The salt and pepper fish. You don't need anything else else. This was arguably the best fish I've ever had. It was perfectly seasoned, light, and crispy and was accompanied by some tender cilantro leaves and stems. I don't know what magic spell they use, but I'll never order anything else. I'm often a creature of habit with my orders and stick to what I know I'll like, but this surpassed my expectations. The pork dumplings were also incredible. It packed so much flavor and moisture in a small bite. The bbq pork buns were pillowy soft with a hint of sweetness and packed full of flavor and tender bbq pork. The spring rolls were steamy hot and crispy. Not as memorable as the other starters, but solid. The kung pow chicken was excellent. It had a nice kick and was cooked perfectly with just enough sauce. The tofu veggies were good (but even better the next day). The tofu was the right texture and the veggies were crisp and seasoned well. The friendly staff, the delicious food, and the chill atmosphere made for a wonderful pre holiday lunch!

Pretty good classic American Chinese food. Definitely your mom and Pop shop nothing too exquisitely fancy but a good thing for your buck!

Monday through Saturday lunch specials until 3pm $10.50 includes tea, soup rice and egg roll. Dim sum available until 5 pm Oolong , jasmine or green tea available. They have duck , chicken feet, beef tripe and frog legs. Seasonal and posted on menu boards. Service is attentive, didn't have to signal. No booths but a few family style tables with lazy Susan carousel for the food. I like this place when food is pharmacy and a hot pot is warranted.

Beef Soup
Eric G.

The food is excellent and fresh, large menu with a variety of categories. Some of our favorites are the Twice Cooked Pork Belly, Salt & Pepper Fish, Beef Soup, Pea Sprouts with Garlic, and Mapo Tofu but there's so much more to explore on the menu. Large dining room which can accommodate large groups. The service is excellent as well.

Lunch specials from Monday to Saturday. Food is good. Also serve dim sum and hotpot. Definitely will come back again. Service is good. Plenty of space to sit. The atmosphere is nice.

Everything was fantastic. The service was fast, virtually no wait time. The food comes out hot and ready to eat. Me and My Girlfriend Rosana ordered the Spicy sautéed sichuan chicken and Sautéed greens beans. I also ordered the orange chicken with Crab Rangoons. The first dish was amazing. The noodles with the spicy sautéed chicken went together amazingly and complimented the green beans and left a great after taste. The orange chicken came with broccoli and steam rice, and both were hot tasty and delicious! This is the best experience we have had in a while so i had to make my first post this one. This restaurant had a great atmosphere and ambiance. They made sure we were served and satisfied while we were eating. I will definitely go back. It was amazing :)

Hot Pot
Ben N.

Food is good. Check it out! I can vouch for crispy spicy chicken, lo mein, egg drop soup, and hot and sour soup. Haven't gotten a chance to try dim sum yet. And haven't been in the mood for hot pot since it's hot in Texas

Ashley W.

We tried the beef tripe, boiled fish in stew, and fried eggplant. Service was fast and friendly. They refilled our waters many times! The fried eggplant was my favorite. The texture was soft but still had form. It was slightly sweet! The beef tripe was bouncy and tasty. I also liked the boiled fish stew. There were lots of cabbage in the stew.

We wanna love this place. The board menu seems to be the best part of the menu but we came in to try the dim sum, it wasn't terrible but a $120 lunch for 4 it was disappointing sadly...the snow pea leave were the only part of lunch that was good and it came with steamed rice which we had to ask for then ended up with two and told we'd be charged for it even tho we only asked for what it came with...service was good but i wouldn't recommend the dimsum at all

CK21. Dry Pot Chicken
B Abigail T.

Still my absolute favorite restaurant in San Antonio! I've been coming here for 4 years and I order the crispy spicy fish and the green beans. My boyfriend orders the twice cooked pork and the dry pot chicken and we eat all of this with white rice. It is absolutely fantastic every single time. The spicy cumin lamb, and the steamed cabbage are more of our favorites, but we can't eat so much food. It's family style serving!

spicy boiled fish
Darian C.

The food was really good and there wasn't a wait for a weekday lunch. I ordered the spicy crispy chicken, egg plant with garlic, broccoli and beef, and spicy boiled fish. I think my favorite dish was the spicy crispy chicken and after that the spicy boiled fish. For 3 people, we ordered 4 dishes and it was a lot, I think we would have been fine with just 3 dishes. Some of the entrees also came with a soup which I got egg drop soup and it was really good as well. I think the service was a bit slower but the waiter was nice.

### Mixed Experience at Sichuan Garden First time here, and the restaurant wasn't crowded. The place, including the restrooms, were clean and well-maintained. The waiters were pleasant. However, before our food came out, one of the staff members asked my sister and husband to move their baby to another seat because that's where they serve, which was very odd and rude. The egg drop soup and crispies could use some improvement, but the main dishes were very good. We had General Tso's chicken (both spicy and non-spicy), lemon chicken, sesame chicken, white rice, and fried rice. We were very happy with the food, and the portions were generous. Overall, a mixed experience.

LM3. Cumin Lamb
Steph W.

This place was great! Authentic chinese food. Really spicy, you have to be able to handle spicy!! Everything was great and portions were decent. We had stuff to pack so ate more after. Waitress/waiter were very attentive. Water was filled multiple times. Overall clean and great place. Will be back soon!

Ask the Community - Sichuan Garden

Is the restaurant closed for lunar new year?

Is the hot pot price for a whole table or will each person get charged the price?

It buys you one very large hot pot, enough for several people.

I tried to dine in Saturday night, but the host informed me the dining room was closed. There were people seated, eating. Your yelp says you close at 10:00. Have you adjusted your hours here on yelp?

What time did you show up? If it was at or after 9pm, that would be expected at any restaurant, as "closed" usually means closed and cleaning up for tomorrow. After 9 wouldn't allow enough time for proper cooking, service, etc.

Is this restaurant open through the covid-19 crisis? We've called 12 times and it rings and goes to voicemail.

It has been closed the last few time I drove by

Is this restaurant still open? Tried calling multiple times for takeout order but no answer.

Sorry, don't know.

What are the "healthiest" dishes or methods of cooking on the menu?

I believe they are all healthy. I'm guessing those without meat are healthier. They have several without meat dishes.

Do they deliver?

At this time we do not deliver.

Do they still serve Hot Pot?

Yes my friend. We still do.

Does this place have xiao long bao? If so, does the soup actually stay inside?

If they have it, it's not on the menu.

Does this restaurant have a gluten free option?

I would like to start by saying this is an important question. I don't know the menu that well but I think you can eat anything you want!… 

Is ur hot pot authentic sichuan style ( as in hot and spicy ? ) not some americanized version but real ? Iived in china b4 and know the difference. And how much is it ? Come with the burner at the table?

Yes, our hot pot can be spicy, regular broth or both. I think it is as authentic as it can be. We have a hot pot combo for 39.99, and pick-your-own. Yes there will be a burner at the table. Thank you.

Is this restaurant BYOB?

Sichuan Garden is no longer BYOB. They now sell beer and wine and are quite rude if you bring your own and didn't know this.

Looking to come and get takeout but we dont see your menu listed. Or am i missing it?

Hi, Dawn. There should a menu section... If you can't find it, look into the picture section, there is menu there.

I moved from east coast and have yet to find similar style of east coast type Chinese food. How does this place compare if anyone is familiar with east coast Chinese food?

The Sichuan Province is in central China and they're known for their chili peppers and "ma-la" spice, that is, literally a numbing spice. It's probably toned down compared to what you get in Sichuan, but no idea how it can compare to what east coast… 

What gluten free items are on menu?

Not at the moment but we can make request to the chef on several dishes. Most dishes are impossible to make it gluten free... according to our recipes. Cheng Tan

A few years ago it was Pho. So, I do have a favorite, but I still need to try new places. Well, I am, & this place is pretty phenomenal. The inside is so sweet & simple. You feel real comfortable & peaceful being in there I found them just by driving through the parking lot looking for Holy Pops for a Yelp Elite event. I wanted to try them out, & I'm so happy I did. They exceed my expectations. I walked in & was greeted by one of the waitresses, I let her know it would be a to go order, but I've never been there. She explained how things could be ordered. Steamed vs fried, for example. I regret not snapping photos of the menu, but they have one online. For that matter my food was consumed before a single photo was taken. (That's how you know it's good! At least with me! ) I went with an order of pan fried dumplings, an order of pan fried pork bao, & one order steamed pork bao. Do not be in a rush when you come. Everything is made fresh. You want it to be. Oh my goodness. These bao are amazing. The dough is the perfect thickness, IMO. The meatball inside though mine were a little larger than a golf ball. Juicy, flavorful & couldn't get enough. Made me want a dozen!. Just don't have the stomach to eat that many. Means I'll have to make more trips. The dumplings, pan fried - were so delicious. Again, piping hot! I'd say the little meatball was about half the size of the bao one. I ordered the shrimp, pork & lamb dumplings (I think. ) They had shrimp in them though. And they were amazing Okay, so me saying all my food was piping hot - here's the thing - this place is on Stone Oak, I live in the Brooks City Base area, it was still piping hot when I got home. Y'all know the traffic in this city right now! Don't waste anymore time. Go check them out. Wanna know about the staff? I'll continue! So, my order took about 25 minutes. Okay I ordered a lot, the place was full also, & again everything is made fresh. Oh! Also,you can watch them make it all. The two waitresses & the waiter checked on me often, - (when I came in. I sit in my car most of the time & inform them. Then, I just come sit down.) They apologized & I explained I make this food, I understand & am happy to wait, just means it'll be good. And boy was it!!!!

I do say, their noodles, although the menu says wide, they are pretty medium sized thickness. For a Saturday lunch time, it wasn't super busy and the service was on par.

I ordered the Hakata Ramen and a Dr Pepper (after my friend and I had coffee at Indy next door). The six minute egg is probably my favorite part. No wait, it's the broth. Or is it the noodles? Ugh, it's all great. The egg was delicious. Jammy yolk. The noodles were springy and chewy. The broth was rich and unctuous. The pork was soft and flavorful. Even when I took the leftovers home, it was still fantastic. The steam facial I received provided much relief from my mountain cedar allergies.

We did have to wait a bit for tables to be pushed together and gotten ready for us but it was less than 10 minutes. We were immediately seated after this was done and the vibes immediately gave off, fast but fresh. We all placed our drink orders almost as soon as we were given menus and our drinks were immediately brought to us within 5 minutes (there was a large group of 8 of us). We placed a large sharable order for the entire table along with our main entrees. There is a notation on the menu stipulating the wait time on the dumplings being a minimum of 15 minutes which was perfectly fine with us all seeing as we could clearly see the dumplings being made fresh from the kitchen from where we were seated (the closest table to the kitchen). Our waitress was extremely patient with us, extremely knowledgeable of the entire menu, AND extremely willing to help us when needed. The dumplings, regardless of which you order- in which WAY they're cooked-are absolutely amazing. Flavorful and filled with juice. AND THOSE AREN'T even the soup dumplings! The soup dumplings (we ordered 3 orders during the sit down meal and ordered 2 to go) were positively amazingly flavored. Well balanced in their taste and was such a delight to eat. Our main dishes came shortly after the dumplings arrived. There were 6 adults and 2 children for this meal. We each ordered our own dishes and shared them amongst each other. One of the dishes ordered was pork belly ramen with no cilantro. As soon as it arrived, although to my pallet, it was beautifully balanced and rich in flavor, the adult whom ordered it did not like it and sent it back to the kitchen. The waitress asked why the food was being sent back to which the response was simply just a taste issue. It was replaced with an order of soup dumplings and the cost of the pork belly was removed from the bill (they did not have to do so but it was absolutely amazing that they did do this). Overall, the food, the experience, and the staff were amazing. We did order 5 dishes fresh to go and they did not disappoint. 1000/1000 will be coming back here again.
