Best Szechuan restaurant in the area. This has been one of my favorite places since high school, back when they were still inside H Mart, and I'm so happy they now have their own restaurant. Their cabbage is my absolute favorite and a must-try. The food is always flavorful and comforting, the environment is clean and welcoming, and the waitress is always kind and attentive. Every time we come, the service is wonderful. It really feels like a warm family-run restaurant, and that's part of what makes it so special. Highly recommend. read more

Been wanting to try this fairly new Szechuan restaurant in a Monrovia strip mall. Parking is easy, the place is generally pretty empty, and service is decent. On the phone, the woman didn't speak any English, but when we went, there were a couple of servers who spoke English pretty well. When we try a new place, we never want to order a ton of food in case it's bad. Luckily, that was not the case this time. We got the pork potstickers. The potstickers are decent, but something in their soy sauce or chili oil is oddly sweet and off putting. Not having a decent dipping sauce is certainly going to be a problem going forward. Do I bring my own already mixed? For mains we got their Chong Qing chicken. We usually ask for this extra spicy, but we decided to get it as is and see how spicy they normally make it. Will definitely have to ask for it to be way spicier next time. However, the taste was quite good in my opinion. One of my cohorts felt it was sweet, but the rest of us didn't notice or at least mind any sweetness. We also got the Farmer's Pork, which was excellent. Now, this popular dish is made with pork belly, so most places will have meat full of fat, which some Asian people like but I do not. This place had cleaned all their pork belly so it was incredibly lean, and I was there for it. Absolutely appreciated this, as I want to eat meat, not fat. I strongly recommend both of these entrees. I look forward to going back again to try more dishes, but I'm gonna need a solution to the potsticker dipping sauce problem. I hope the sweetness wasn't in the potstickers themselves. That would be bizarre. Anyway, I do recommend trying this place. Also notice some other reviewer went off on the XLB not saying they have peanuts in them. The menu specifically states (unless it was reprinted in the last two months) the XLB have peanuts in them. Give this place a shot. It may not be the absolute best in the SGV, but from what we tried it seems pretty darn decent. Go! read more

SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD - Hidden allergens and terrible service I am writing this to warn others about a serious safety issue at this restaurant. We ordered the Xiao Long Bao, they contained peanut butter, which was NOT disclosed on the menu or by the staff. My son has a peanut allergy and experienced a severe reaction--his mouth swelled up, his throat became itchy, and he developed a painful rash. This is completely unacceptable and dangerous. To make matters worse, the overall experience was a disaster. The service was incredibly slow, and they completely missed several dishes we ordered. When the "famous" Boiled Fish finally arrived, it was utterly bland and had no flavor at all. I am extremely disappointed and concerned about this establishment's lack of transparency regarding allergens. If you have food allergies, please be extremely careful or avoid this place entirely. We will be taking this matter very seriously. read more

I liked the veggies from this place the best. I loved the wok-fried cabbage and the celery and tofu skin dish. The beef noodle soup lacked flavor. The portion was very generous. There was so much noddles in the bowl. Service was good. It's noisy inside. read more

Fast service and recommend stir-fried pork with Szechuan pickle, with chili oil poached fish the most. Also avocado with pepper sauce is a must, one of the best authentic Chinese sauce flavors and a combination rarely found anywhere else. Regularly visit many times with my family and definitely plan to keep coming in the future. read more

For some reason I didn't notice this place has been around for nearly a year until this weekend. Went in around 3pm and it was empty. The place was super clean, simply decorated, and the staff was friendly. We got the avocado with pepper sauce that was soo good, the spare ribs in flour which was also good, lots of meat, the shredded chicken with cold noodles, the chicken wasn't enough and the noodles were way too long, but the flavor was amazing! And lastly the steamed rice cakes with osmanthasas which added no flavor and could've been sweeter. But overall the meal was great, good prices and for sure will return read more

The food here is insanely good! You can customize the spice level. I ordered way too much for one person because I ordered the fish and it was too good, so I wanna try a different dish. I washed down the spicy with jelly dessert. Amazing! Highly recommended! read more

Was invited here by 2 mandarin speakers and thank God I was. This an authentic chinese quinine establishment that lived up to that . The menu had many items I had never seen before and they were saying they were normal chinese food items. I was not disappointed in taking their word for what I was eating. It was all very delicious. This eatery is located in a strip mall in Arcadia where it moved because they were too popular for the previous location. The waitresses were extremely sweet and helpful understanding that I did not know the language. I appreciate that tremendously! So, would I return, yes! With my mandarin speaking friends. Should you visit here? Definitely, Asian friends or not, the food is very good! read more

The sign on the restaurant wasn't very visible in English but my Mom and I found it anyhow. Szechuan Restaurant was delicious. Really enjoyed everything we ordered. The dumplings were a little extra crispy but we didn't mind. Would definitely come back again ! read more

Food is really tasty, we've had hot and sour soup, crispy duck, Kung pao chicken, their signature fish soup, Mongolian beef and pork. All recommended. The restaurant is really nice, nice decoration and service is great and fast. read more

Our friends introduced us to this amazing restaurant. We loved the food so much that we came back with mom. We started with the cold noodle and spicy chicken with bamboo. The mild numbing spicy sauce was perfect. Next dish was the braised pork, it really melted in my mouth. The vegetables dishes were also delicious. The highlight, however, was the beef short ribs. These ribs were a masterpiece - tender, juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Service was also excellent that day. What a great meal! read more

It's been a while since my mother-in-law complimented a restaurant. I can't tell you how relieved I was when she actually liked the restaurant that we brought her to. There were murmurs of "Oh! It's not too expensive!" "The ingredients are fresh!" "The portion is generous!" Etcetc The name of this restaurant is 天府小館. The title Szechuan Restaurant is too generic for this place. If the name is familiar, it is because the business was first in a supermarket food court prior to expanding to this location. This restaurant is spacious and clean. There are bigger tables, which is ideal if your goal is to sample a variety from their menu. The dishes we tried were bright in flavor, spicy, savory. Sure, they can accommodate you if you want lesser spice. But sometimes the dish calls for a pleasantly tongue numbing peppercorn, and this restaurant makes each dish well balanced. We completely finished the dishes 'water cooked fish' 水煮魚 and spicy chicken 辣子雞. . No leftovers, save for the broth from the fish that mother-in-law saved for the next day to add more fish and bean sprouts. read more

While shopping at Good Fortune Market on 6th Street in Monrovia, we noticed a new Szechuan restaurant that had taken over the old Chan Kee space. After finishing our shopping, we decided to give it a try. The interior hasn't changed a bit--same as before. Service was pretty slow, though the staff was friendly enough. We ordered three dishes: spicy chicken, garlic eggplant, and Dan Dan noodles. Fair warning--they're all very very spicy! If you're a spicy lover, this place is paradise. The flavors were bold and felt authentic, packed with that signature Szechuan kick. Their menu also features classics like fish filet in spicy oil, honey duck, Kung Pao chicken, cold cuts, and more. Just be prepared to wait, as the food comes out at a very slow pace. read more

这家四川菜馆比较接近80年代传统风味，麻辣味平衡，酸甜平衡，而不是现代的红油红椒铺面的新式川菜。这是洛杉矶地区比较正宗的川菜餐厅。 Very authentic and traditional Szechuan cuisine, balanced spices flavored, much less oily. Nice environment and good service. read more

Was about to do some grocery shopping next door and decided to check out this new spot -- they're known for their spicy fish soup. We ordered the Chinese Pickled Cabbage Fish Soup, which the server recommended as the least spicy option. The flavor was great, but even at the mildest level, it was still way too spicy for us. We also tried the Chicken in Chili Sauce -- it was tasty, though it had a hint of sweetness that felt a little out of place for the dish. Overall, interesting flavors and friendly service, but spice levels might be intense if you're sensitive! read more

New Szechuan Restaurant popped up in the MonArc Plaza in Monrovia. Came for dinner service with two others around 630 PM, no wait. Server brought us three menus all in Chinese (honestly wish there was an English copy as well). Ordered 6 different items off their menu. Food didn't take too long to start coming out of their kitchen. You can smell and taste fragrant spices in every dish. Top 3 items I liked were: tan tan noodles - asked for mild spice level (), stir fry pork kidney () & chicken with yuba in that rich Szechuan chili oil (). Food was spicy but manageable & delicious! read more

We originally planned to hit the skewer restaurant next door, but the wait was way too long and we were trying to make it to a showing of Sinners. We noticed this spot right next to it and decided to give it a shot, even though they were about to close. Glad we did, because it turned out to be so much better than what we expected. The staff welcomed us in without hesitation, super friendly, and didn't rush us at all even though we were clearly their last table. We ordered the crispy pork belly (insane), a soul fish dish (super flavorful), short ribs (tender and rich), and cumin lamb (bold and addicting). Every dish hit. No weak links, just full on flavor bombs. Total hidden gem. Great food, great vibes, and they saved our night. Will 100% be coming back. read more
