    Cumin Lamb with Rice, 05JUL25
    A. L.

    Great authentic Szechwan food! Good service! I stopped by this place and ordered the Cumin Lamb with rice and it did not disappoint. The meat was fresh, tender, velvety, and aromatic with cilantro, red pepper, and onion. The spice had a nice savory kick that you would expect from Szechwan food, but not overwhelming. The ambiance was down-to-earth and no-nonsense--ideal for a great place to savor some authentic eats done right! You can't go wrong by eating here. Much recommended! Check it out.

    Szechuan kitchen has a lot of great options on their menu so choose wisely! The servers were very patient with us as well as I could not make up my mind on what I wanted.

    This is probably the best Chinese restaurant in the Covina area. I have family that lives in the Chino Hills area and we all unanimously agree this is the place for mapo tofu, toothpick lamb, and a ton of other Chinese staples. We came here for Christmas Day lunch and I could not be more impressed. The staff speaks both mandarin and Cantonese. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to have authentic Chinese food in the Covina area

    SK has become one of my favorite spots to order lunch. The food is made to order and is always oh so fresh. As you wait for your order you can hear the chef work their magic by the sound of sizzling pans and quick movements paired with the aroma of garlic and all sorts of goodness!! This is a commotion you want to be a part of! The lunch specials are reasonable and very tasty allowing you to sample several dishes. The food is delicious and the owners are friendly. #ShopLocal. #ILoveMom&Pops

    Very authentic. They don't use msg (but used chicken essence). Flavor is right on, everyone in my large party loved all the dishes, whether it's there first time or regular repeat customer.

    Food was really tasty. A little spicy for me but spiciness can be reduced if requested. All the dishes we had pictured were delicious. Surprisingly the cucumber dish was probably one of my favorites. Service was great. Portions sizes huge. Good parking and ample seating (atleast when we went). Highly recommend!

    Szechwan Kitchen is a very good Chinese restaurant in the Covina Area. I wish it was closer to where I live and I would definitely visit more often. You can either order to go or dine in. If you order to go from the app, you get 10% off. You can order dine in from the app, but you don't get 10% off. This is one of the places where you come for the food and not for the service. A lot of the utensil and napkins are on a table in the center where people can pick up to-go orders. So if you need something along the lines of utensil, you can grab it there. They don't really check on you to see if you need anything . When I came here and wanted water, they sold me a bottle of water. It's not complementary in a cup with ice or anything like that. Literally will sell you a bottle of water. So if you don't mind buying over priced water, go ahead. You can bring your own water as well. I think the best dish I had here was the Kung Pao Chicken. It was really flavorful, tender, and I enjoy it when they cook with the peppers and onions. Not a fan of just chicken and chili. It pairs great with a bowl of rice (that you have to pay extra for). Rice isn't free, but it comes pretty tall, like one bowl of rice is stacked up high so it's like two giant scoops of rice in one bowl. The restroom here is pretty dirty. Like dark and dimly lit and dirty. Parking for this place isn't too bad, there are a few spots in the front of the restroom and there is a shared parking lot. Overall, good food, no service.

    I was actually very surprised on the meal I got for lunch. I really was expecting an "American" version of Chinese food but was surprised to see that the meal was an authentic cuisine from southern China. My pork belly dish was sauteed vegetables which included onions and bell peppers with savory chili oil tossed over the plate. The $10.99 lunch special came with the entree, white rice, soup and an egg roll. I will definitely come back again!

    I really wanted to love Couwami Asian Fusion!…read more The small, family run restaurant cozily braided into a strip mall one block south of the 210 FWY on Azusa had piqued my interest when I'd ferried an Uber Eats order from there on SAT. Interest captured by the vivid scents wafting from the kitchen and the mostly positive Yelp reviews, I boomeranged back 24 hrs later to place my maiden order. I went with Shanghai Egg Rolls and the Yang Chow Fried Rice, but I'd asked them to substitute more chicken and Chinese sausage for the shrimp, as your favorite Yelp correspondent has never enjoyed shrimp in any form other than cocktails. The staff is exceedingly nice!!! Owner/proprietor JOSEPH and his wife skate around as balls of determined energy, but with welcoming smiles affixed to their faces. The prices are pretty reasonable- My tab for a generous multi-protein entree and appetizer was $19.34 including taxes. But can we please have a conversation about the flavors? Couwami partisans! Tell me-- Did your faithful correspondent order the wrong items?! My Shanghai Egg Rolls were undercooked, limp and flaccid. The flavors were solid but the texture was so off-putting and uncharacteristic for a typical egg rolls, that I could barely get them down. The Yang Chow Fried Rice was also undercooked- I'm used to fried rice that has a toasted, beigy-yellow finish with chicken or pork cooked to at least medium to medium well doneness. My entree was, as the picture attest, a faint ivory hue and I actually hadta toss it in my skillet for five minutes to toast up the rice and finish cooking the tendrils of chicken, which were served medium rare, a micro-degree above pink but with the unpleasant mouth feel of sushi. Not exactly the way you'd expect your proteins to be prepared! I'm a huge believer in redemption. And judging by the hundreds of 4.2 level reviews on Yelp, I suppose its possible I just caught the cook on a bad night or ordered the WDT (Wrong Damn Thing)...twice! I'd normally accord two stars but will bump this up to three based on the utter civility and decency that Joseph and his staff extended to me.

Staff were friendly and service was quick, which is always a win. I got the Texan (half portion) and the Pho Noodle Salad, and both were seriously good. First things first--as a Vietnamese person, I actually approve of the broth! It's fragrant, rich, deeply beefy, and packed with that savory beef flavor. No need to doctor it up with a bunch of sauces or condiments--the broth itself is a flavor bomb. The Texan also comes with tender brisket that's nicely seasoned and adds even more richness to every bite. The Pho Noodle Salad was such a fun contrast. The tamarind sauce has this great sweet-and-tangy balance that works beautifully with the savory, charred beef. Add in the fresh, crunchy herbs and you get a really refreshing mix of flavors and textures. Sweet, tangy, savory, smoky, fresh--it all comes together really nicely. Great food, generous space, quick service, and friendly staff. Definitely a spot I'd happily come back to when I'm craving something beefy and wanna stay in the SGV area!

Each of the drinks really depended on the individual and what the person felt like. Some of the drinks like the strawberry lemonade or blood orange expresso tonic were more on the refreshing side. The other lattes were more on the creamer side but tasted good! The food all looked and tasted good.
