My friends and I ordered take out from here. We ordered many different items such as Yangzhou fried rice, spicy dry chili chicken, black pepper beef, Szechuan wontons, and shrimp in garlic sauce. We also ordered a side of hot & sour soup. Overall, we all were a fan except my friends didn't really like the hot & sour soup too much. I liked it, but I guess it tasted a bit different than they were expecting. The fan favorite was the spicy dry chili chicken. It was excellent. Definitely spicy and one of the better ones I've had in Chicago. The food came out about 5 minutes after the estimated pick up time so it was pretty accurate. Would come back here! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance - lots of street parking outside, casual, great for small and large groups[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service - only 1 server/cashier, order food using QR code on table Food - Everything was super flavorful, my personal favorite was the dry pot chicken wing (love that they put sliced potato and lotus root to add to the texture) read more

This is not a place you come to receive great service. You come here for the food. Although everything was belly seasoned I found it very oily. The oil was soaking some of the dishes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It felt comfortable inside and a nice little place for dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Michelin Star worthy quality food! Exceptional flavor and execution of the dishes. The BEST in Chicago and I'd say most likely in the US entirely. Absolutely delicious. Good service , relaxing environment. Definitely would love to see them work towards that Star, show the world how Authentic Chengdu Dishes should taste. Go , check them out; you'll thank me later. Located on the East side of Halsted Avenue. Pay to park for street parking, Kitchen closes around 930pm. CTA bus stop outside on the corner as well. Enjoy read more

Went back again and tried spicy sour fish fillet but it isn't as good as I thought. I won't get that again. But something really really caught my eyes and my friends said yes so I ordered the salted egg yolk corn kernels. Oh my god it is strangely addicting. It's a little sweet too. And a little crunch to it with the salted egg yolk. It's like opening a bag of snacks and we just couldn't stop eating it. Goes very well with rice too. Although it might seem pricey since it's just a plate of corn kernels but they made it good so I think I'll order it again. read more

This place is totally solid and deserves to be in your rotation in some fashion -- decent dumplings, dan dan noodles, Kung Pao chicken, etc. The only problem is that in this part of town there is an embarrassment of riches. You can of course get better dumplings at QXY; but I also think the mix of dumplings and other chinese dishes is better at Four Seasons, which is just down the block, and remains a piece of my heart. So again I am glad to have this place in the rotation, but 29 times out of the next 30 times I am eating Chinese food on this stretch of Halsted, it is going to be down the street. read more

Had a good time there with my friends. We ordered five dishes, but in my opinion, they were not as good as the Chinese restaurant that I've tried near UIUC area. Maybe I had a too high expectation before visit. read more

A new place to add to my go to Sichuan food! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was pretty quiet at 5PM probably because it's still new and plenty of people came for takeout rather than sitting down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pickled vegetable side dish was crunchy, salty, and a little spicy with fresh mini red chilis in the pickling. Had daikon, carrot, celery, and cabbage. Pleasantly surprised to find Ye Er Ba (leaf wrapped sticky bun) on the menu. A glutinous rice colored with green veggie juice filled with Ya Cai (preserved salted vegetable) and ground pork steamed on a leaf. Not sure what the green juice is from, it didn't quite taste like mugwort, but could be spinach. Overall it was soft and stretchy, not too sticky, and just the right amount of flavor and salt without being too fatty. The mini golden buns were also shockingly good. Usually the ones at buffets are dry or hard. These were fluffy, great structure inside, perfectly proofed. The outside had a nice crunch and wasn't oily at all. Would actually consider getting this again. The Mao Xue Wang (tripe, blood, intestine, spam) was also great. The blood was super tender and still absorbed flavor well. Plenty of meat with added Napa and bean sprouts. Only thing I didn't like was the dried chili chunks on top, they were a bit over fried and didn't add to much to the already flavorful soup. The green peppercorn fish fillet was also taste! The fish fillets (tilapia?) were super tender and flavorful. There were some mushrooms inside. The cold spicy chicken was also good. The sauce wasn't super spicy. They did use peanut butter to add creaminess to the sauce. It does have skin and bones so just a warning. Overall their dishes had a good balance of meat to veggies in each entree dish with minimal inedible seasoning chunks. I was also able to take most of the soup bases home for future mini hotpots. Hot tea was an extra $5. Each entree comes with a bowl of rice. Extra bowls of rice were $2 each. Just to be transparent. read more

Overall this is a great place for Szechuan food! Great service and nice diversity in dishes. Green peppercorn fish filet - I like how much fish they gave us and the peppercorn is not overpowering. It was fresh and had a nice kick of heat. There's also a ton of vegetables inside. Pork intestines dish - again, they were very generous with quantities here. The pork intestines was very chewy and spicy. Pork blood was typical and what you expect. Hainanese chicken- this dish was ok. The chicken was a bit dry and the piece of chicken we got was not very thick so it was mostly bone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good atmosphere and good service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, they charged like 5 bucks for tea which I was not a fan of. read more

Don't know what happened to this place or if they just had a bad night but EVERYTHING I ordered was horrible. Starting with the fact that although I ordered $57 worth of food they put NO soy or sweet & sour sauce in the bag, how cheap is that?? The combination fried rice was devoid shrimp or chicken , the orange chicken was dry... just horrible, will NEVER go back. When I called to ask why no sauces were in the bag , then they didn't speak English, yeah right. Won't go back OR recommend. Would love to give zero stars. read more

Fantastic food!! We had our family birthday celebration here and food was delicious along with great service!!

My husband said some of the best tofu dishes he's ever had and my son said the same of the fried rice!! I'm so glad we tried this newer restaurant as I will definitely be back!! read more

Grilled spicy fish my favorite, only know the place for 3 weeks I already gone back a dozen times, food price is reasonable and qualify of the food is good, delicious great flavor read more

I had ordered beef fried rice which was delicious not to oily or dry just perfect and the general Tao chicken was also perfect not to dry and perfect amount of spice. This was my first time ordering from here and this is going to be my new spot for ordering food from now on. Two fried rice and General Tao chicken was enough for four people and still had left overs read more

We've seen this newly open Szechuan restaurant and decided to give it a try. We came on a weekday and it was fairly empty so we were seated right away. The options included a lot of spicy options. We ordered the dongpo pork hock, spicy sour fish soup and the eggplant with garlic sauce. The portions were huge I would recommend getting the fish soup with filets instead of whole fish because the whole fish had a lot of bones. The pork hock was tender and fell off the bone really easily. I would recommend coming with a bigger group because the portions were big and it allows you to order more items. read more

Hands down best Chinese food ANYWHERE in the area! So many traditional options. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sort of stumbled upon this place and our entire group was absolutely delighted.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our buddy who lives in the area said he was shocked that he was going to have to change his favorite Chinese restaurant after years of going to a different place down the road. We'll definitely be back ASAP. read more

Great vegan options--delicious dishes--especially the cabbage! Ok I can't verify totally vegan because of language barriers but I think so read more

On the recommendation of a friend, I came to SzeChuan Alley in Chicago. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant undoubtedly does a great job in presenting authentic Sichuan cuisine and integrating it with a modern atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As a person who has high requirements for food, the dishes here gave me a lot of surprises First of all, the first impression of Chengdu Zhong Dumplings is its dumpling skin. Thin and tough, the dumpling filling is very rich. Although the appearance seems simple, it has an extreme ingenuity, as if every bite is a tribute to the traditional Sichuan cuisine skills The cold chicken has a refreshing taste, the chicken is cut just right, and it is paired with subtle spices and seasonings. Although the taste of the sauce is slightly light and has not yet fully penetrated into the ingredients, the fresh taste also makes it a good choice for appetizers The method of making Kung Pao Chicken is one of the characteristics of this store. The proportion of chicken wrapped in starch is relatively high, presenting a crispy taste, which is somewhat different from the traditional Sichuan Kung Pao Chicken. The sweet and sour taste, supplemented by the mellow fragrance of vinegar, paired with cucumber shreds, brings a different sense of layering, and the effect of removing greasiness is also in place The dish "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" is a simple but exquisite vegetarian dish that I like very much. The combination of each ingredient has been carefully considered, and the taste is fresh. It not only meets the needs of health preservation, but also shows the diversity and delicacy of Sichuan cuisine in vegetarian dishes Fish-flavored shredded pork is a classic in Sichuan cuisine. The ratio of chopped pepper and sugar in the dish is just right, and the sweet and spicy taste is pleasantly blended. With the refreshing crispy shredded pork, it makes people feel warm and satisfied after eating, which is quite good with rice In addition, the service of the restaurant is also very considerate. The staff is enthusiastic and professional, providing recommendations in time and ensuring a smooth dining experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining environment is modern and full of Sichuan characteristics, so that every diner can feel comfortable and happy while tasting delicious food[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]In general, SzeChuan Alley provides every diner with a traditional and innovative dining experience through exquisite Sichuan cuisine presentation and elegant dining atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is a Sichuan restaurant worth recommending read more

Came here a couple months back with friends. The food was delicious, but I'm a sucker for spicy food. To our surprise, the cold chicken dish was really good. Probably was the most favorite amongst the table. You come in and scan a bar code to order. I can't speak too much to the ambiance, but definitely come here if you want good spicy food. read more

I found this place after it was featured on the local news. I've been here a few times now and the food is amazing. I'm a huge fan of the boiled fish filet dishes, and I've loved everything I've tasted. The staff is extremely friendly and their suggestions based on my preferences are always on point. Dining in is great, but the food is just as good if you get take away. This is definitely a place worth stopping by. read more

the dry chili chicken had me sweating but i couldn't stop eating, so crispy and numbing. service was quick

We love their Stir-Fried Beef With Pepper(sliced beef with cilantro)! Very friendly staff.

Authentic. I'm from szechuan and it just feels home to me. I would eat again. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decorations also feel good[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Excellent and super authentic Szechuan cuisine at the new restaurant in the Bridgeport area. However the place is not too big, so fitting a group of more than 10 could be a challenge. But they were very nice to arrange 2 tables to see to accommodate our group of 10. Our favorites are wok-fried eggplant, dry chili chicken; they also have non-spicy dishes for kids. Would definitely return again. read more
