    Beef and Tripe in Chili Oil is very plain and barely has any chili oil in it. This is not Sichuan food...

    If you are looking for authentic Sichuan food, this is NOT the place unfortunately. You are better off paying a bit extra and ordering from one of those Sichuan food restaurants in Chinatown. This is not Sichuan food, let's just be real here.

    We ordered cumin style lamb ( the lamb was nice and tender), vegetable lomein, and shrimp fried rice ( was not soaked in soy sauce like many Philly spots tend to do). The location looks like a regular corner Chinese store. It was clean inside. We ordered prior to Arriving and was told 15 mins and our food was ready when we walked in. Next time, I will try the Dan Dan noodles with minced pork!

    Saw a lot of people online recommending this place so I decided to order take out. Definitely a great decision! The portions were very generous and the flavor was great. Loved the Dan Dan noodles, green beans, and scallion pancakes. The cumin style beef was also good but idk if I would order that again (just personal preference). The pork dumplings were also yummy but didn't travel the best. Will definitely order from here again!

    This place has been viral recently on social media so we gave it a try and was kinda disappointed. First, it is a take out only place, so I expected service to be super fast. I waited for probably 30+ minutes because they had so many uber eats/doordash orders. Definitely recommend giving them a call way beforehand so you can just come pick up when it is done. As for the food, the green bean is too soft/overcooked imo, but seasoning is okay. The wonton in chili oil is more sour than usual. I'm not sure if this is sichuan style or not, but I'm not a fan, and it is also quite spicy even after I ask for less spicy lol. Dan dan is normal, not a lot of peanut butter taste, and even though the menu doesn't say it is spicy, it is. Price is affordable.

    We loved South Sichuan!!! We decided to get Chinese delivery and were complaining about how Han Dynasty was too expensive last time we ordered there. So we branched out and tried South Sichuan. Everything was so delicious - and the portions were great!!! We, of course, had the cucumbers bc it is a fave of mine. Delish! And the dan dan noodles. We ordered 2 other meals and ate them for days. My only setback was the spicy tofu and fish was too spicy for me. But my bf loved it!! Def will be ordering from here again and again.

    If you are in Philly COME CHECK SOUTH SICHUAN OUT! 10/10 Every dish we got was jammed packed with flavors! If you love spice this is the spot! (Even if you don't like spice they have options for you!) The service was quick and super friendly! It's a to go spot so pick up your dishes and have a nice picnic at a park! On our next trip back to Philly we are definitely coming back!

    Mapo Tofu

    Okay so boom, I was craving spicy food. I knew that there was a place in south Philly that had Sichuan and the reviews I had been hearing were pretty good. Fast forward to me asking for my food to be even spicier and them actually accommodating me! I didn't know my food came with rice so I got double rice! It was awesome. I wished that it was just a tad less salty but that's my own personal preference. I truly enjoyed it so much I can't wait to try other things on the menu! Thank you for listening and giving me even spicer food!

    Cold Sesame Noodle
    Jordan G.

    Absolutely fire food! And super affordable. Honestly was shocked at how heavy this portion was! I ordered pickup (not realizing they were getting ready to close) and the staff couldn't have been nicer. It took me a minute while waiting inside to realize I was looking at renovations to what used to be Stockyard (rip). Place looks so different than before and has more seating available. When I finally dug into my noodles at home, I was delighted. it's just nice to know a good business filled the hole stockyard left. Def recommending these guys to others in the neighborhood (especially since other new businesses just doors away like Asad's actually has some of the worst customer service my friends and I have experienced anywhere).

    Cumin Style

    Highly recommend! Delicious food and reasonable prices for their generous portions. Everything I ordered was great--here are some of my favorites: Chicken Wings, Mapo Tofu, Pork Dumplings with Chili Oil, and Dan Dan Noodles! Service was fast and fantastic

    Cumin Style chicken

    Saw this place go viral on TikTok and had to try it, especially since my boyfriend is a big fan of DanDan noodles and Sichuan food. As soon as we arrived, the whole block smelled amazing with that signature Sichuan aroma! It's a takeout-only spot, so we went in and placed our order. We got the DanDan noodles (of course), spicy crispy cucumber, and cumin-style chicken. The food took about 15 minutes, which felt reasonable. The noodles were super spicy but really tasty, according to my boyfriend. I loved the cumin chicken, so flavorful! The cucumber had great flavor too, but it was a little warm and not as crispy as we hoped. Overall, a great spot for authentic Sichuan dishes with reasonable prices and portions. Street parking was easy too. Definitely worth checking out!

    Dan Dan Noodle

    Newer takeout only spot for Sichuan cuisine in south Philly. Heard good things so had to try. Very quick preparation and picking up is easy at the window inside. The entire place looks quite well kept which is always good to see. Ordered dry pepper rub chicken and dan dan noodles, two tasty dishes to compare. Dan dan noodle were overall okay, very strong sesame sauce though the spice was a bit bland. Large portion here. Dry pepper rub chicken was quite good, had a fair amount of peppers but could've been amped up a bit. Overall I'd say food is 4/5, service & speed is 5/5, and cost is 5/5. Good new spot, thanks.

    Mapo Tofu
    Jasmine M.

    Love this Chinese place! Takeout only and their food is delicious. The portions are generous and the service is quick. I really enjoyed their mapo tofu, eggplant, and the spicy tofu we got! The noodles were ok- wish they had a little more flavor! Overall, my go to Chinese takeout spot!

However, I found that the meal didn't live up to what I remembered at the UCity Han Dynasty or the Sichuan food I've had at other spots. My partner and I ordered the dan dan noodles and double cooked pork belly to share, our longtime regular order. The portions were generous and prices were affordable, but both dishes fell short in some ways. The dan dan noodle sauce was mostly sesame-based with little of the chili heat I remembered, and there was only a bit of the ground pork topping. It left me wondering whether they hold off on the spice at this location due to the clientele, whether they changed the recipe, or whether it was just an off day. The pork in the double cooked pork was overcooked and tough, and the dish didn't have enough of the veggie components (leeks and peppers) to balance it out. Another minor nitpick - there was a World Cup game going on while we ate and the multiple downstairs TVs had the game on. The second floor where we were seated also had a nice big TV, yet it seemed to be left on a screensaver slideshow of random landscape photos. Would have been nice to watch the game! I was overall left feeling pretty meh about the meal. I'd give the UCity location another shot, but don't think I'd come back to the Old City one.

All ordering is done either via tablet or mobile ordering platform. Seems like most of the back-of-house staff don't speak English well, so we were mostly working with one of the staff that did, which led to a bit of confusion when they raised concerns that we didn't order beef with our dry pot (we did) and then later found out that they just didn't understand our receipt. Interesting experience, but we were able to get that sorted out. Seems like some comms work could be improved on their side. But other than that, service was quick, our dry pot + pork fried rice was DELICIOUS, and we were being helped quickly (I was chugging that water). Overall it is a bit of a smaller space and the staffing setup is a bit strange especially if you're not Chinese-fluent, but otherwise, food is great here!

Really good. Chengdu Jelly Noodles: These are served cold and have a bold chili oil sauce paired with wiggly noodles. Very spicy. Sweet Water Noodles: Mild brown sauce paired with thick noodles, a respite from the heat of the two other dishes. Tasty. Online ordering was quick and my order was ready in 15 minutes. Parking is hit and miss along Lancaster Avenue as this is busy with students and hospital employee parking, plus residents. Would definitely go back, and we have.

I come here for happy hour every now and then because the prices are really great, and both the food and drinks are delicious. We started with the specialty cocktail and the Thai Punch, and both were really good. They had fruity undertones, and the alcohol wasn't overpowering at all -- I could easily have a few of these. For food, we got a few orders of the kung pao chicken wings. They were perfectly crispy with a really flavorful glaze. The portion size was also very generous, especially for the happy hour price. These are a great example of Asian-style fried chicken wings done right. I definitely want to come back and try their full dinner menu since I've only been here for happy hour so far.

Place is super trendy with an open concept kitchen and dark lighting. I might be getting old because I find myself wanting more lighting lol Service is spectacular and if it's your first time here they'll fully explain their menu and recommendations. This time our server explained the tasting course, but we decided to order a la carte. A refreshing Ming Mule came out first and it was just what I needed after being inside of a stadium on a 100 degree day. We also ordered an order of the pork bao which was so tasty. You can never go wrong with a pork belly appetizer and each order comes with two. The shrimp pad Thai had all the flavors you expect from a classic pad Thai but with their own twist. The Szechuan chicken was crispy and had sweet notes. Definitely two great picks. Opted out from dessert because we were so stuffed but they have a great ice cream cone option if you are in the mood.
