18 dollars for the Lo Mein that didn't fill up my 4 and 8 yr old. I spent 47 dollars on 1 order of Lo Mein, 1 Vegetable Rice and 1 order of dumplings for a family of 4. Had to eat cereal afterwards because everyone was still starving. Also, no duck sauce or mustard condiments with the order. Food was pretty good but just the portions are so small for the prices they charge. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch and was not disappointed. There are not enough places with soup dumplings and Da Dan Noodles on the menu, and they were both excellent here. I am a huge Dan Dan noodle fan, and ordering them so close to home was really nice. The sauce was excellent and the noodles were cooked to perfection. Can't recommend them enough. The soup dumplings were also very delicious, perfectly cooked and the broth and meat inside were very flavorful. I would order them again in a heartbeat. We also ordered the Sichuan dumplings in chili oil, and they weren't quite as good as the other dishes I ordered but they were still good. The sauce could have been a little spicier I think, but they were flavorful and well cooked. The service was great, friendly and quick, and the restaurant was clean, modern looking, in a great location, and there was a lot of parking available in the area. Overall this is a great place for some authentic Sichuan food and I will be back. read more

Great soup dumplings. Everything else is ok, not bad not great. And in my opinion over priced.

REAL CHINESE FOOD! So nice to have the real stuff. Specifically their "traditional dishes" like the mung bean noodle appetizer. If you are not used to the traditional Chinese food, you might want to try a different dish. But for those of us that want truly ethnic food, this place has some great options. read more

Just an update to owner on what we ate. I had hot and sour soup, which was hot but also really bland and followed this with Dan Dan Noodles which were oily and in need of seasoning (salt? Soy?). Boyfriend had wonton soup with absolutely no flavor to the soup. This is the soup that took 20 minutes to come out while I ate the hot and sour. His second course was General Tsao (his favorite Chinese restaurant dish) which came bright Orange, super sweet and super soggy and accompanied by some sad steamed broccoli. The best part of the meal was the scallion pancake which was crisp and tasty. I get that good servers are hard to find, but the timing almost deliberate lack of eye contact when requesting something was maddening. To the owner, I don't mean to slam your restaurant and truly hope you take these consideration to your staffing. read more

They cancelled my order without giving a call back or notifying me. Now I'm on my lunch break with no food. I was looking forward to try their food but how they handled the situation is very unprofessional don't order from this restaurant. read more

I was there a couple weeks ago for dinner, and the food was absolutely delicious! Excellent customer service! The restaurant owner and staff were very friendly and attentive. I would go back again and recommend this place to others as well. read more

Amazing authentic food! Wonderful hostess! I knew of a Szechuan dish that wasn't on the menu, but they happened to have it - so they made it for me. My wife and I have been to a few Szechuan places in NYC and NJ, and usually when you go, they just ask you what you want, and if you are not familiar with Szechuan food, you end up ordering the regular stuff, missing out on the beauty of the this unique spice palate. The hostess / owner came over and talked to us - after she realized we knew Szechuan food, she recommended the dishes, and we loved every single one of them. We will definitely come back (used to drive to Cheng Du 23, which is twice the distance from us as compared to this place). Highly recommended. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Terrible service and food. The owner claims that all good is made from scratch the day of, but the meat tastes old. When complaints are made, the owner gets condescending and threatens to call the police. read more

This place use to be great. The dumplings are still great. However just had over cooked dry chicken & broccoli & super bland Yangzhou Fried Rice. Guess I'll stick with the dumplings. read more

After the previous rave reviews I decided to give this place a try, despite resistance from my husband and grown daughter who both are not fans of "Chinese" food due to the typical unhealthy nature of it. We ordered the soup dumplings, beef chow fun and tea-smoked duck and were all blown away by how not-greasy and flavorful the food was! It was both tasty and fresh, and we could tell that the owner cared about the quality of the food. The ambiance was absolutely lovely - probably the nicest Chinese restaurant I've ever been to. I found the menu to be appropriately priced for the quality you're getting, with a good variety of authentic options. The owner came around to chat with us and seemed to know so many of the patrons already! We felt so very welcome. We don't live in town but was definitely worth the drive. We will be back! read more

Ok guys, my mother is from this region in China so I can legitimately tell you this is authentic. The Ma-Po Tofu is made the way it's supposed to be, so be open-minded if you're used to the way other places do it. The Dan-Dan Noodles were refreshing, not as heavy as I expected. The chef is well-established also, made the change from a restaurant in midtown to open this for the sophisticated palettes of Ridgewood. Also really enjoyed the Mung Bean Noodle appetizer. Those square-ish noodles aren't common in other places. We weren't huge fans of the previous establishment so are glad to see Truly Sichuan pop up in its place. Note, it's not always "fast" so best to take your time and enjoy it. read more

Stopped in for socially distanced dining this evening and had a wonderful meal. The soup dumplings were INCREDIBLE. I left earth for some time while eating them! Dandan noodles were delicious and pork dumplings were flavorful, not too spicy. For entree I had a lamb dish. I requested it mild heat because I'm weak and they accomodated it brilliantly. Service was so kind. Like the Terminator, I'LL BE BACK! read more

Really good Szechuan food especially for Ridgewood. Chongqing fish had a bit too much cumin and not Enoch's Szechuan peppercorns. Dan Dan noodle was chewy and tasty. Other dishes as well. Definitely recommended. read more

We tried this place since we thought Wild Ginger was here. We were sad when we relized it had closed but decided to try Truly Sicuan. Let me just tell you that was the wrong decision, the host does not know what customer service is! She changed the price of my entree after I had eaten my food. She was acting as a waitress since the waiter did not know English that well. The waiter was attentive and helped as much as he could, but the host was terrible. Food was also bland and oily. I wish Wild Ginger was back! read more

This is an amazing addition to the Ridgewood restaurant scene. The food was incredibly good, the menu was fresh and inventive, the service was friendly and accommodating, and when the check came we were all pleasantly surprised! Four of us went at 8:30 on a Saturday night, and although the restaurant was crowded with patrons, were seated quickly, our wine was opened immediately, and we were treated like old friends even though it was our first time here. The whole night was a wonderful experience -- capped off by a long visit and charming conversation from the owner over dessert. Cant wait to go back. read more

Went with friend couple on Wednesday, food were so bad worst then the take out places. The double cooked pork had cabbage instead of green onions, and worst yet it was saggy no flavor at all! String bean was very salty, beef chao fen was not edible hard as chewing rubber! I asked the waitress she replied " this is suppose to taste like that! " no joke , you are telling a Chinese who ate Chinese food the entire life this is supposed to taste like rubber? In addition to the bad food there's No Sevice . the waitress was not attentive never asked if we are ok. However, had audacity to charge us "service fee"! My understanding the service fee is only applicable to party 6 or more. If I didn't look carefully I would gave suggested tip for another $20. For bad food and no Sevice? Be aware, check your receipt for hidden charges! And at least don't go on Wednesday, I am sure the cooker is not the main chef. read more

Very good Sichuan food. The sea bass with pickle and the pork belly dishes are delicious. Dan Dan noodle is pretty good as well. This is definitely the best Chinese restaurant in town. read more

Four of us dined at Truly Sichuan on Saturday night. We have ordered pick up from here many times and found the food to be consistent and top notch so we decided we wanted to try some of the other dishes on the menu. We were not disappointed. The flavors were piquant, the dishes were perfectly spiced and detailed. The service was excellent. The Dan Dan noodles are superb and the pork dumplings delightful. Highly recommended! read more

We stopped here to try the new Chinese Restaurant, but it was too early for dinner so we took the food out. I must say that we made a big mistake. This was truly the worst Chinese food that we have ever had. The Hot and Sour Soup was totally tasteless. No flavor at all, just a touch of hotness. We shared the Kung Po Chicken, or should I say that we tried to share it. It was so salty (and we do like well seasoned food), that it tasted as if the cook dumped in a box of salt. We could not eat any of it and had to throw it out. The Broccoli in Black Bean Sauce was just ok. No Black Bean Sauce though. We were very hungry after that horrible meal. Because the restaurant is new, I called the restaurant the next day to advise the manager or owner as to the chef's terrible errors and I was told that there is no manager and the owner is rarely there. Needless to say we will not return. read more

This place is the probably the best Chinese food I've ever had, and is nothing like the usual hole in the wall. They do have the Chinese American essentials like lo mein and general tso's, which are probably good, I didn't try those yet, but they also have some more interesting options. I had the Dan Dan noodles and Sichuan dumplings for appetizer, and the twice cooked pork belly entree. Everything was insanely good, this is my new favorite restaurant in Ridgewood. read more

One of the very best Chinese restaurants in NJ; authentic and tasty, with a friendly staff and good service. No clue how anyone would rate this less than 4 stars. read more

Was thrown by the reviews but then on Sunday my husband and I walked by and noticed how crowded it was and how many people were enjoying their food. Went in early today it was quiet. But our dinner was delicious. Very very knowledgeable waiter explained all the different sauces. I had mixed Chinese vegetables and fried tofu because it's my go to dish. It was perfection with lots of bok choy and broccoli. Hubby got the shrimp and walnuts. He devoured it. The best part was the sichuan wontons. The sauce on it was a chili sauce the likes of which I've never had before. Excellent Chinese food here. read more

Truly Sichuan - Mixed veg with fried tofu. Absolutely delish. Boo Chou bamboo shoots broccoli mushroom carrots. A+ - Szechuan Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

My family eats here on a regular basis! Although I am not Chinese, I have eaten in many authentic Sichuan restaurants and find this restaurant to be equally good! Every visit, we have found the same consistent quality and friendly service. This past weekend we ordered Vegetarian Ma Po Tofu, General Tso's Chicken, and Chow Fun Noodles with Beef. Everything was fantastic! read more

Food is amazing, take the owners recommendations; she knows her dishes!! Discovered it yesterday, went there again today and plan to go again soon. Dumplings with house sauce are outstanding, dandan noodles are amazing and i highly recommend any dish with the garlic sauce! read more

This place is amazing. Authentic and delicious. The soup dumplings, singapore noodles (off menu), crispy jumbo shrimp with garlic and onions, scallion pancakes .. all incredible. The place is super clean and staff is attentive and friendly. Will be back! read more

Truly a disappointment. Let's start with the food because if it was good I wouldn't even bother writing this regardless of the nonsense. Dumplings were dry, hot and sour soup terrible with gel stuff in it , low mein was so so. Id review the chicken in garlic but they forgot it (but charged me) and when I called back to try to get a new one the guy on the phone was being rude to me so I never got it. The woman who answers the phone is very nice though. Long story short, 100$ take out dinner without getting an entree is just not worth it. Coulda got a much better meal for like 30-40$ from a regular little Chinese spot. I'm not a crazy person btw just a little upset and still hungry so here we are. read more

I ordered in from Truly Sichuan last night - and was very pleased that I did. First of all, if you are looking for a 'standard' Chinese restaurant, look elsewhere - this is the real deal, though I found the spice levels toned down for the local audience. That said, there were some non-spicy options on the menu, which were just as good as the Sichuan offerings, just less spicy. The Sichuan dishes that we ordered, including the Dan Dan noodles, the Sichuan Crispy Fish Fillets and the Shrimp with Garlic sauce, were all excellent. The quality of the ingredients was very high and all of the dishes that we ordered were very tasty. In all, Truly Sichuan is a fine addition to Ridgewood's higher-end restaurant scene -- I look forward to becoming a regular. read more

I just atttempted to place an order. I was informed that the chef stated the Guobaorou (crispy pork loin) was unavailable because "all the sauce used to make this dish was used up last night" and he didn't have any of the sauce to make the dish this evening. Well, it's a Saturday evening ( probably one of the busiest and profitable evening for any restaurant in the Ridgewood area), and one would think that if a chef (?) runs out of an integral ingredient used to make a dish, that he surely would be able to find the time to make more of the said ingredient in time for a busy weekend evening. Decided to order something else,,,,,,,,, order was placed at approx. 5:30, wasn't ready till after 7PM! When i got home, only 1 of the 3 items I ordered was not cold! I had ordered the steamed pork dumplings with House Sauce - they came cold without any sauce whatsoever, the "hot" noodles with peanut/sesame sauce were totally cold and stuck together in a hockey puck configuration, they must have used an eye-dropper to put the sauce in the bottom of the container,,,,the cold , white "noodles" were lying on top of about 2 teaspoons of sauce, noodles were so cold that i couldn't separate them. The ONLY hot part of my entire order was the shredded pork with garlic sauce. I had been a patron of this establishment for years, ever since they opened. Needless to say , I will NEVER be again. BTW, only 5 tables out of at 10 were occupied. read more

I live in NYC and often visit family in Ridgewood. THRILLED to find such an amazing place in NJ! Will be going back regularly. So far, I've loved the Chongqing hot pepper noodles (hot appetizer) and the broad noodles with shrimp (main). read more

Great restaurant. This place has clearly fallen on hard times from what is currently happening on their yelp page. Hefood is great and authentic. read more

One of the best authentic Sichuan restaurants in NJ. The owner Renee selected our meal for us and included unbelievably delicious soup dumplings, a shrimp with Sichuan pepper, chicken dumplings in Sichuan pepper sauce with just a hint of peanut and sesame (not overpowering like other places), shredded pork with garlic sauce and a fresh fish casserole with green peppercorns. This are superior to (and more expensive than) the brown peppercorns typical used elsewhere. Service was extremely friendly and deservedly a bit more pricey than less authentic restaurants. I am a foodie and particularly fond of Asian cuisine. This is a must try if you are similarly afflicted. read more

Yummy, authentic food!! Definitely recommend, especially for those who've never had Sichuan cuisine! Rare to have a place here in ridgewood that serves real authentic Chinese food like this! Sizable portions too! read more

Truly Sichuan - Szechuan Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

See all

Finally a real Chinese "Chinese food" in town. The Chong Qing grilled whole fish is the Best in NY NJ area, fish is fresh with variety of vegetables, baby boy choy, lotus root, mushroom, bamboo shoot, and even rice noodles. It's good for 2 person since it's too much for myself. Even I know this is Sichuan style but still prefer a little less oil next time. read more

We come here a lot for dinner and it's always amazing. Decided to come for lunch today since wifey was home. They have a good selection of lunch specials to choose from. We had the Ma Po Tofu and the Twice Cooked Pork Belly dishes. Both were delicious but that comes as no surprise as their dinners are always great. Also came with a soup. Had the hot and sour and, IMHO, was one of the best I've ever had. read more

Absolutely the best Chinese I've ever had, and I'm a born and bred New Yorker with a beastly appetite. The food is authentic, but even the Americanized dishes (sweet and sour chicken, etc.) are unbelievable. I would eat here everyday if I could. read more

We were looking for an authentic local place to go to for Szechuan food. I found this place on one of the food blogs I follow and it did not disappoint. Renee, the owner, gave her recommendations for some great dishes. She was extremely friendly and told us about opening the restaurant. For appetizers the four of us shared soup dumplings which were awesome and hard to find in our area of Bergen County that we live in. We also had spicy chicken dumplings and sesame pancakes. Everything was tasty and cooked to perfection without the typical greasiness that most American style Chinese restaurants have. For our entrees, she recommended the braised beef filets in chili sauce which were amazing and spicy, but not super hot "mouth on fire". We also shared the smoked tea duck which was served sliced, with some pieces still on the bone. So good, we didn't care and picked it up with our hands to eat! We also got the whole fish casserole in sichuan chili oil with green peppercorns. Renee personally served us this dish as she explained you really couldn't eat the peppercorns. This came in a huge bowl and we didn't even put a dent in it. Although it was delicous, this dish was my least favorite as it was too much work to pick the bones out as well as the peppercorns. It's so nice to finally have a place to go to get real Chinese food and will definitely be back again! read more

Delicious traditional Sichuan food. Soup dumplings and Dan Dan Noodles were really great. It's good to have a good traditional Chinese restaurant close by that you can dine in at. Try the hot & sour soup as well! read more

Truly Sichuan is truly amazing. I was there last night with my husband and another couple. The restaurant was clean. The owner was so pleasant. There was live music and the food was incredible. The food was fresh and light but still had wonderful intricate flavors. We definitely will be going back and bring more people with us next time. read more

I went there last sunday, and the food was awesome. A few other times the food was so so. What was different last sunday? The cooks took their time in making the food. We had to wait a bit longer to get the food to our table, but the longer preparation showed in the quality of the food. I hope they keep it up. read more
