My favorites are the Shandong chicken and their signature hand-pulled noodles, so delicious! They are a popular spot so depending on when you go, can be a bit of a wait to get seated. It's not that big and can be a little tight inside. However, there's a reason why they stay busy, because their food is worth the wait! This place is a must when in Oakland and looking for some really tasty Chinese food.

And yet, the crowds keep on lining up to dine here. One of their highlight dishes was the Sesame Paste Noodles, made of super chewy noodles mixed with spinach and a deliciously creamy, slightly sweet sesame paste. Another must-try dish was the Special Shan Dong Dumplings, a thick-skinned dumpling filled with minced pork and vegetables. We also tried the House Special Pancake Stuffed with Leeks, a set of three pan-fried pies with a filling of chives, vermicelli, egg, and woodear mushrooms; the Dry Braised Green Beans, stir-fried with black beans and preserved vegetables; the Sautéed On-Choy; and Sliced Fish with zucchini, woodear mushrooms, peas, and carrots in a mild sauce. Overall, the dishes here came in generous portions at decent prices and made for a delicious, balanced meal. The vibe might be loud and the service rude, but the food was worth a visit!

I was drawn in to Chuan Yu because it looked like they offer both Chinese cuisine and Sushi. Sadly, they are no longer offering the Chinese cuisine menu. We ordered a few pieces of nigiri since we were already seated. Honestly it was a wonderful few bites. The scallops had a nice light bounce and the salmon was smooth and fatty. I do wish the sushi rice was seasoned better. It lacked the light acidity that I look for in sushi rice. The restaurant itself is actually super cute. This is perfect for a date night or even a night out with a big group of friends. They seem to have lots of seating and larger tables/tables that can be moved together!

She suggested the cilantro beef, which did not disappoint us at all. We also ordered Beef Chow Fun, Orange Chicken (for the kids), and a Noodle Soup (so sorry forgot the name but the meat is beef and the broth was a lil spicy) but man, the broth of the soup was soooo good and would be perfect for a cold day. The place itself is small but has a decent amount of seating. Good for small groups but it looks like they would be able to combine tables for bigger groups. Highly recommend Tasty Schezuan!

I even introduced this restaurant to my friends and they also love the food quality as well. I recommend their spicy sichuan water boil special. There's a perfect amount of spiciness and flavor that pairs well with a side of rice.

It's also always clean and affordable.

I am glad we did because I was not disappointed. The place was busy but the service was prompt and excellent. We had ordered three dishes to share family style with rice. First off let me start by saying the portions are generous. All three of the dishes were a hit but to me the star of the show was the garlic chicken. The sauce was excellent! If spicy is your thing then order the beef, it was loaded with peppers! Finally the walnut prawns were nice counter to the garlic and peppers. We also ordered steamed rice to go with the meal. This was an excellent choice and we will most definitely be back.

We were greeted and seated right away with the choice of any opened table. The server offered a booster for the baby and we told him it wasn't necessary. We order jajangmyeon, gan jajangmyeon, tangsuyuk, yangjangpi, and jjampong. Still as delicious as I remember. While we were eating my niece (the baby) was giggling and we saw that the server was playing with her. He was attentive and provided us everything we needed...thank you for showing us what really customer service is!!!!

Ambiance - 4/5 I've…read morebeen coming here for many years, and it looks like they've done some remodeling since some of my earlier visits. The place feels a little different now, and I also don't see the older lady and gentleman who I used to see here anymore. I love the new wall decorations. The interior looks like an older style resturant with the menu being on the top right when you walk into the resturant. There is also a pile of random stuff in the left corner when you walk in. Customer Service - 4/5 The service was good and everything came out smoothly. Nothing particularly stood out to me about the service this time, but I had a pleasant experience overall. Small note I didn't feel very welcomed when I walked into the restaurant. Food - 5/5 Dish Ordered: Jjamppong (Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup) - 5/5 What impressed me about the jjamppong was that every ingredient was treated right. Eating the squid by itself would've been delicious. Eating the shrimp by itself would've been delicious. But now you fuse everything together with the noodles and soup? Now that's one solid dish. The heat level was just right for me. I love spicy food, but I don't want the spice to overpower everything else. My tongue was still able to taste the seafood flavors coming through the soup, and that's important to me. The spice complemented the seafood instead of covering it up. Every ingredient felt like it contributed something to the final dish. I never had this dish in Korea. but if I had this guess. This would be it. Tangsuyuk (Sweet & Sour Fried Pork) - 5/5 They take this dish to another level. The pork was tender and fluffy with a slight crisp on the outside. That combination alone would've made it good, but the sauce is what really brought everything together. And when I say sauce, they don't just give you a little bit on the side. They give you a whole bowl of it. You can actually submerge your pork into the sauce and get an even coating of all that goodness. I've had many different sweet and sour pork sauces over the years, and this one hits differently. Honestly, this sauce could be its own dish. It's not a side piece. That's how much I enjoyed it. Pickled Radish - They also give you pickled radish, which I always love whenever I'm eating Korean food. That crunch adds another texture to the meal, but more importantly, it gives your palate a nice refresh between bites. Especially when you're eating something spicy like jjamppong and something rich like tangsuyuk, that refreshing bite of pickled radish fits perfectly. Additional Comment: I've been coming here many times over the years, and the quality has always been solid. Restaurants change. People change. Interiors get remodeled. I don't see the older lady and gentleman I remember seeing here anymore, but I'm glad the food has remained something I can come back to and enjoy. There's something special about having a restaurant you've eaten at for years and still being able to sit down, order your food, and think, "Yup, they still got it." Would I come back? Hells Yeah. I've already been coming back for years. The jjamppong delivers the seafood flavor and heat I'm looking for, and that tangsuyuk with the sauce is something I would be happy to come back just for these two dishes. I also love their black bean noodle (ZaZangMein)

It was a rocky start at first but it smoothed out and the taste is exactly at the same tier when we first started. We found new items to add to our regular order and we love how this place has turned out. We see way more diverse families dining here and I see they expanded the menu to accommodate new customers that want to try something but be overwhelmed. I also noticed the usual groups coming in so it's a great balance between staying true to the authentic flavors while still being open to different taste palates. The hosts and waitresses are nice and don't make you feel uncomfortable when you don't know what to order just yet. They're helpful in answering questions without making you feel embarrassed. I also noticed they're attentive in how they seat their customers. Food overall has been great with the veggies in general. We always default to the boiled beef and end up using it to dip everything else into. We really like the tofu options and the dish with small lotus that are a little sour. Each dish comes out hot and they're generous in the bowl of rice they give you. I still plan on coming here regularly and my family still enjoys all the leftovers I bring home each time.

Half of the table prefers the spicy style and the other half prefers salted egg yolk. The fish is my other favorite. Doesn't matter if it's chili oil or pickled veggies. Always fire.

The Chongqing noodles are surprisingly light in flavor with much less spice than I expected. Service can be hit or miss in terms of speed. There's often only 1 server so please be kind/patient! They're working hard. The interior is spacious, which makes it great for group dinners.
