    Generous portions and food is delicious. We had beef chow fun, chicken string beans, and egg rolls appetizer. The ambiance is great and the restaurant is very clean. We will be back.

    We did take out. We asked for mild spicy Szechuan beef and eggplant in garlic sauce. The beef was overcooked and dry and a little too spicy for me though it was fine for my husband the eggplant had a good flavor. We got the impression that the portions are bigger if you eat in.

    Warm inviting service. Food was excellent! Fresh, quality ingredients...food was well prepared. Not oily-winner! All dim sum was very good except the pork/shrimp dumplings ‍. Great meal...

    Location is in a strip mall so lots of parking. Costumer service is above and beyond. They are so friendly here. The restaurant is clean and inviting. The menu was huge! We ordered so much food for our party of 8. Everything was fabulous. My favorites were: the salt pepper fish filet- the fish was so fresh and flakey and not greasy at all. Fantastic! The Szechuan chicken was to die for! This was everyone's favorite dish. It had the perfect amount of spice and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I also loved the American-Chinese options of orange chicken and general Cho's chicken. The kung pao shrimp was perfect as well! The shrimp was cooked perfectly and I loved the contrast to the crisp bell pepper. We also enjoyed the soup dumplings, fried rice, chow mein, orange tofu, a scallion pancakes, and dry fried green beans (which had a lovely ginger kick to them). All the dishes tasted fresh and the flavors were on point. This is my go to Chinese restaurant now in our area. You got to come try this place!

    Been a regular at Tasty Szechuan, especially for dinner, and it can definitely bring the heat and numbing spice, but also has a variety of dishes to enjoy even if spicy food isn't your thing. Located between a Little Caesar's Pizza and an international Mediterranean market, it can be easy to miss off Treat Blvd, but that would be a mistake. Tasty Szechuan does a pretty brisk takeout business but we really like eating in to enjoy the food at its freshest. We have always experienced friendly service here with our cups of cold water flavored with lemon and hot tea kept full. The seating arrangements can be a little tight with a mix of booths and tables, but they make it work. The decor feels more like the 80's but the place is clean and they have signs up about the various dishes they offer. PROs: - Spicy Szechuan dishes can really be spicy if you want it which is great - Mapo tofu had great flavor and kick - Sautéed bok choy with black mushrooms isn't spicy but cooked really well and consistently each time - Silken tofu with crab roe was a creamy surprise and terrific over rice - Beef tendon noodle soup included tender beef pieces, hearty broth and noodles with a good chew - Steamed soup dumplings which were flavorful and had a good dough - Various boiled dumplings Dishes that were less of a standout for our palate were the orange chicken (which is a favorite of some in our family but I found to be too sweet), the crab-fried rice where the crab didn't really stand out, and the wonton with chili oil (great chili oil but the wontons were not as flavorful as we expected). Overall, we are still exploring the large menu and can't wait to get back again soon!

    If you like spicy, then this is the place. But you can also ask for different spicy levels. Great service and tasty food. O ur family Szechuan food choice.

    Mom and I came here for lunch just by chance and we were blown away! The service was outstanding! Sylvona was fantastic, as was the young man working along side her but I didn't catch his name. The vibe was so easy breezy in there, mom and I just chatted away. The food was extremely tasty as well. We both had honey walnut prawns. It tasted amazing. We also had pot stickers. You could taste the freshness of the food. They boxed our food for us so neatly afterwards. The entire experience was 5 stars. I really dig the cups they serve the water in and it came with a lemon!!;) Next time mom and I agreed to be more adventurous with our orders. The rest of the menu looks delicious. Don't you love leaving a restaurant now a days feeling like it was money well spent? We will definitely be back.

    Aug 24, 2025 2 pm Solid four stars We went here for a family lunch. A few observations. One male waiter talks to fast when repeating our order. This may have caused some confusion. A woman comes over ten minutes later to tell us "Sorry, we are out of Dancing Prawns." We told her we hadn't ordered Dancing Prawns. She said "Oh good, you didn't order Dancing Prawns." The Walnut Prawns we ordered were brought out much too early. Better if they were timed closer to our other items. They forgot to bring us our cola.. To the young waitress. You are charming and attentive but perhaps look up what Sichuan peppers are and how they make for a numbing mouth sensation. We had to fact check you. There are two Choose Your Own Gender bathrooms. The one I used was clean but I had to wrestle with the towel dispenser. It is unclear if it is supposed to be motion activated or not. Some noisy man from Oakland seemed to have stopped by just for a glass of water and to chat up the charming waitress. Seemed to go on for about 30 minutes. I would ask my employees to discourage that. The food was satisfying. Nothing overly impressive but it was a solid Good. I felt the price was fare. The place looks clean and organized. (Organized but for that Dancing Prawn thing.)

    V3. Eggplant with garlic Sauce鱼香茄子

    Came here for lunch with a few coworkers and had a great experience. The staff was very welcoming and accommodating. Since we were on a timed lunch break, we preordered our meals ahead of time, and within minutes of arriving, everything was served fresh and ready for us. Spicy I can handle, but they were so accommodating on the spice level for my coworkers who cannot eat spicy. We definitely underestimated how much food we ordered because we ended up taking quite a bit to go. This is also a great spot for vegetarian options, since most of what our group ordered was vegetarian and everyone enjoyed their meals. The tea wasn't quite as hot as I personally prefer, but overall everything was still great. Would definitely come back again for lunch.

    Eggplant String Beans
    Christine C.

    I have no known food allergies, so if I'm eating a meal and my tongue starts tingling and my lips get slightly numb, then I'm probably eating yummy szechuan cuisine. Tasty Szechuan delivers the experience perfectly! This isn't the nearest szechuan food to me, nor is it the cheapest, but I find myself opting for this choice over others because it Tasty Szechuan is consistently great. Mapo Tofu and Eggplant String Beans are my go-to dishes, and they never disappoint. The service is very friendly and the atmosphere relaxed. Plenty of parking in the large lot, and lots of seating inside.

    Parking: its in a plaza so plenty of parking. Seating: we came around 2pm and we were seated fairly quickly. Service: excellent service. From the staff taking our order, to checking in with us and even to checking out. They were so kind and even packaged our food to go for us. Food: incredible taste. We had the sweet and sour chicken as well and their sweet and sour ribs, veggie chowmein and some beef dumplings. Everything came in a pretty big portion and was delicious. Overall, amazing service for delicious food. Completely worth the visit.

    Ask the Community - Tasty Szechuan

    Is there peanuts in your food? We are allergic to peanuts.

    They told me no for the items we ordered but I'm not sure they understood the severity. Can't confirm if cross contamination is a concern. And given one of our entrees had to be brought over from another restaurant, I would not trust it.

    Open on holidays? Christmas Eve, Christmas Day?

    Yes, the restaurant is open on Thanksgiving holidays, both Thursday and Friday.

    Do they have lunch special menu?

    Yes. During the week they have several offerings that are described as more Americanized and they come with a huge mound of white rice, but nothing else, except that a pot of tea is provided for all tables.

The…read moreone thing that really stands out the most to us is their Sichuan Beef Stew Noodle Soup, which I've praised so many times in my previous reviews so I'm not gonna repeat myself so that I don't sound like a broken record, but it's just so good! Another thing we ordered when we visited this restaurant yesterday was the Sichuan Cumin Beef. I honestly forgot how much we liked this dish. The way they cooked it yesterday was incredible. Every bite was packed with flavor (savory, very cumin-y and spicy!) , and even the veggies were fully infused with it. It went perfectly with steamed rice. I want to give a warning though, because this dish was extremely spicy, which I personally loved. I liked it so much that I ended up ordering another one to go so I could keep eating it at home over the next few days, lol. I also want to give a shout out to the guy who was basically single-handedly running the restaurant yesterday. He saw us walk in carrying a car seat and offered us a high chair, but he flipped it upside down so we could safely place the car seat on it. Such a simple back but genius. On top of that, he was super friendly the entire time. The restaurant was pretty empty, which is pretty normal for this restaurant whenever we visit it, although they seem to get a lot of takeout orders - happy for them. The empty restaurant actually worked out perfectly for us since we had a baby with us, haha. Overall, it was a really good dining experience, and I'd definitely keep coming back whenever I'm in the area.

While he was working incredibly hard, it's unfair to both the staff and the customers to have a "one-man show" during dinner rush. We waited 30 minutes for drinks and a full hour for food--which is nearly impossible when you have a hungry toddler with you. We ordered a non-spicy dish (lotus root) for our toddler, but it arrived spicy anyway. Since we couldn't wait another hour for a remake, she ended up just eating white rice. To top it off, our beef tripe and blood in hot pot broth dish arrived without the blood. When we finally flagged Rambo down, he explained they intentionally exclude it because some customers find it "smelly." As a Chinese customer who specifically ordered the dish for the blood, I found this frustrating and deceptive. If an ingredient is being removed from a titled dish, guests must be notified upfront. We enjoyed the flavors of the spicy tan tan noodles, lotus root, black pepper lamb, and ma-po tofu, but the management needs to hire more weekend staff. We'll stick to takeout from now on.

This place means a lot to my family and I. We have been coming here before I was born. I have many fond memories of eating here with my grandparents and the delicious food they offered.

I am happy for their business they are getting in the last few days but I would recommend coming here earlier than your anticipated eating time. Family Style Tofu: My all time favorite dish. It is fried tofu in a brown sauce with mixed vegetables. For their lunch special, it came with a bowl of hot & sour soup, fried rice, a crispy spring roll and a fried wonton. All of it was delicious. The tofu was fried perfectly for me and there was ample amount of vegetables. The spring rolls was filling for being vegetarian and the fried wonton was crispy as well. The soup was extra sour, which I personally liked. Although, my one issue was the brown sauce was a bit on the salty side. Still, I throughly enjoyed my meal and had enough leftover for a second one.

You can see the generations and the dudes family has celebrated birthdays, graduations, promotions, and random Tuesday cravings for decades. As a vegetarian, I didn't get to try the meat dishes everyone else at the table ordered, but let me tell you something... the tofu string beans and fried rice were probably some of the best vegetarian Chinese dishes I've ever had. And I do not say that lightly because vegetarian options sometimes get treated like sad side salads The string beans and tofu were flavorful, savory, perfectly cooked, and honestly the star of the table for me. The fried rice was pure comfort food energy. Simple, nostalgic, satisfying. The hot and sour soup personally wasn't my favorite because it leaned a little too tart for my taste, but everyone else seemed to love it. The Fried banana bites with vanilla ice cream, caramel drizzle, chocolate drizzle, whipped cream... absolutely unnecessary in the best possible way. Tiny crispy dopamine orbs. What made this experience special was seeing families gathered together in a place that clearly means something to the community. Restaurants like this become woven into people's lives. That matters. Congratulations to the Chef Choy team on retirement. Pleasant Hill is losing a longtime staple and so many families are walking away with memories tied to this place.
