Tried this place last night for the first time. It was FANTASTIC! The food was absolutely the best sichuan I've ever had. The portions were more than ample making the cost very affordable because we brought so much home and are looking forward to leftovers. The place was noisy last night in a very good way. Large family gathering celebrating a birthday. Wonderful energy. We're eager to show the place off to friends. Given the large family gathering service was slightly stressed but we get it. No problem, it was very friendly. The only drawback is the difficulty in parking. We're senior citizens so it's an issue but we'll figure it out. read more

Typically, I would think that a restaurant like this would be closer to a bigger urban center. Some restaurants when they are in more suburban areas play it safe. Not this crew. Never heard of a spicy hot pot. Gave it a try. Fantastic. Couldn't describe it because I have no point of reference to other Chinese restaurants I have visited. Pork belly with chili. Great. Never had it before. Never even seen it offered anywhere else. The food was very good and we got all that we asked for in less than 15 minutes. The server was great and very attentive. Very helpful. The place was immaculate. I will come to this place often. It is a crime that it wasn't busier but if word keeps spreading it will soon be very busy. Soon. read more

I was looking for some good chow fun in El Cerrito and I found it! So good, it's on and crackin! The crab fried rice is also excellent. So fragrant and both are cooked just right. The meat chow fun comes with shrimp, beef, chicken, pork, onions, bean sprouts, and it is not extra greasy like some places I've ordered from. And look at the teapot! So beautiful and big (that I like because I am a tea-a-holic). I was hesitant to even post a review because I wanted to keep this gem to myself but I am not selfish Tasty it is for sure! Yes and the service was just right, lots of space and good parking. I will be visiting this place on the regular. read more

Sichuan food is one of our favorite cuisine. The numbing spice is absolutely addictive. We saw this place popped up so we wanted to give it a try. The place is nice and newly renovated; we were the one of two tables here since it's only 11:30 or so on a very rainy Sunday. The had high chairs and nice spacious seating so we are happy. We sat down and started looking at the menu - couldn't help smelling the amazing aroma from the other table. It was a delicious looking dry hot pot. So we followed suit and ordered one with beef slices, fatty beef, pork belly, bok choy, king oyster mushroom, and tofu sheet. The portion was very healthy and it was YUMMY. We also got mapo tofu as a benchmark and some dumplings for the babe. The mapo tofu was really good with a thick umami sauce that goes so well with rice. The dumplings were very flavorful too. We enjoyed everything we've tried. Cannot wait to try other dishes here! We may have found a new place to satisfy our sichuan cravings... read more

We went here to celebrate a birthday based on other Yelp reviews. The food and atmosphere are really great. We had shrimp noodles, crab fried rice, eggplant and green beans and the best hot and sour soup I have had in years!. Our waiter was mellow with a side of charm. Service was perfectly timed. read more

I have family in the area and Tasty Sichuan is an exciting addition to the neighborhood. Occupying the same space of several prior Chinese restaurants, this new endeavor with new ownership delivers tasty (hence the name), authentic, and quality Sichuan dishes. As for the food, I ordered the Lamb with Cumin, which was a different take from any cumin type lamb I've had in the Bay Area. The bite sized pieces were fried, and it was oh so tender and flavorful. The massive amount of dried chilies added to the rich smoky flavors, yet not overly spicy and very palatable. Next was the Eggplant with Garlic. Huge generous portions of soft eggplant, not overly sauced and cooked just right. I will come back without hesitation and try more dishes! read more

Noticed the banners outside and not sure what I wanted to eat. Decided not to eat at a established chain and came here. The restaurant was empty but very clean and not as warm as I expected it to be even though it was a warm day. Typical menu with American Chinese food as well. Wanted something I've never had before and ordered pork and chive dumpling and chili fried chicken. The dumplings looked homemade and the made on the spot, not out of the bag. I was warned that the chili fried chicken was going to be spicy, but it was not as spicy as I thought. read more

This QIAO-JIAO beef hot pot soup is really good! (蹺腳牛肉湯/牛雜湯） It's light and naturally sweet, tasting very much like the flavor I remember having in Taiwan. Moreover, the owner is very thoughtful; they even asked us if we liked it and seemed worried about not getting it right. But surprisingly, I loved it!!!! this is the exact flavor I've been searching for. In addition, I highly recommend the stir-fried shredded mixed mushrooms (炒雜菌香菇). It's not too salty, but incredibly fragrant and perfect with rice, which made me finish the entire bowl. The menu also features Szechuan pickled glass fish fillets(酸菜皖魚); it's not fishy at all and has a great crunchy texture, it's a very unique taste. Eating here feels like coming home, and the service is also very comfortable. This is a newly opened shop, and as a picky Taiwanese person, I approve! Finally, I got an order of stir-fried rice noodles with shrimp (米粉炒蝦) to take away. If you love garlic flavor, this will absolutely be your new favorite! read more

Most of the things we have ordered here have been tasty, authentic, and clean. Very impressed by the large serving sizes for the price, and the family-run restaurant vibes. The waitress is too young to know how to offer "restaurant service" but it's a super casual, informal, family atmosphere. It's really refreshing, moving here from San Francisco and Oakland where snobby entitled people give horrible reviews for one little blip in service. read more

Health hazard warnining!! Stay Away I ordered noodle with shrimp and tufo to go. This was my first time here. I had chinese food with shrimp and tufo in other restuarants before but never had any issues. However, less than an hour after eating a few pieces of the shrimp and the tufo, I devepoed large red color rashes on my skin which were very scary looking. I have taken photos of these red patches. After seeking medical advise, I found out that these rashes were caused by eating old and uncooked shrimp. I had to discard the remaining of this auwful food. Very disappointed and disgusted. read more

Great Szechuan food. Excellent taste and very interesting menu.

I've been craving some authentic Sichuan food, and this totally hit the spot! I lived in China for a couple years, and I'm pretty picky. I'll definitely come back and try some more dishes! I took my kids, who asked for not too spicy. If you want it spicy, you might want to mention it. Not that we needed it, but it was interesting to see a Chinese American section, with familiar favorites, which is only available at lunch. The ambiance isn't particularly interesting, but it is bright and cheery, and I actually felt like I was in China. And the staff was super friendly. We'll be back soon! read more

I ordered takeout-kung pao chicken, wonton in spicy chili oil, and white rice. The gentlemen who helped me said they had been open for one week. They have lots of menu options. The food I got was mid, the small rice box was just a little over half full barely enough rice for one helping of kung pao chicken. The chicken was dark meat with green onion, dried red chilies and peanut. I prefer some vegetables in my kung pao like other places serve it in the area. It was a little sweet for me but I liked the spice level. The wontons were good but would have preferred veggie or chicken over pork. There are no chicken or veggie options for homemade dumplings only pork, beef, or shrimp. read more

I am so excited to have a new restaurant in the neighborhood. I appreciate their new upgrades and seasonal decor to this location. I ordered takeout and the food exceeded our expectations. We only tried two things: the spicy Szechuan noodles and and salt and pepper chicken wings. Price is good for the amount of food. I had a chance to talk to the young man who works the front and he was very kind. Please go and support them as we need food restaurants to thrive in the neighborhood. read more

Excellent sichuan food. We're very lucky to have several good sichuan/hunanese restaurants in the area (sichuan fusion, wojia), so the bar is very high, and Tasty Sichuan is a worthy competitor. We had the cumin lamb, chili fried chicken, and the green beans with eggplant. The cumin lamb was very flavorful, tender. The chili fried chicken was very crisp. The seasonings were very balanced. It's rare that I find these dishes are so well executed. I regret not taking photos of the food, as the photos available don't do it justice. The menu is expansive and has plenty of dishes I've not seen elsewhere. I was eyeing other people's tables, and the other dishes looked very well done. I'm looking forward to trying a dry pot soon. Please come support this excellent restaurant so we can keep top notch Sichuan food available in El Cerrito. read more

This is a relatively new restaurant. We came here on a Saturday evening. It was not busy. It's a family run restaurant. The staff was very attentive. The food was good because the chef cooked really well. We had lamb, cauliflower and fish dishes. All three were tasty because the chef cooked them just right, not over cooked nor under cooked. That took skills. read more

Good food. Excellent portions. The shredded pork with garlic sauce dish we had seemed to be missing garlic but it was fine. Rice not so fluffy. Excellent melon-rib soup. Service was mediocre. Lack of attention but we don't expect much from restaurants. The atmosphere is spartan. read more

Was on our way to a Vietnamese restaurant for late lunch and noticed this new place and decided to check it out. It was empty but the photos of the food looked good and we love Sichuanese food so we took a chance, and I'm so happy we did. The staff gave off a friendly family running a restaurant and in between lunch and dinner service. We ordered the Sichuan cold noodles, cucumber salad, cilantro beef and stir fried cabbage. The portions are extremely generous but best of all it was all very tasty. We want to come back soon with friends and try more things on the menu. 100% recommended, if you like Sichuanese food. read more
