My friend Jordan H. turned 50 last month, and I told him I'd take him out for a belated birthday lunch. We'd been talking about getting Chinese food, and he picked Xiang La Hui, his go-to spot for classic Sichuan. I'd never been before, and was more than happy to try a new spot in the SGV. We met up at noon and stayed until the restaurant wrapped up lunch service and gently pushed us out the door, sometime around 2:30. The space was nice, instantly recognizable as a Chinese restaurant in Alhambra. It was pretty quiet the whole time, a good place for a leisurely catch-up. Service was fast and polite, though the combination of QR code ordering and poor Verizon service was a bummer. I had to cross the dining room to take down the wifi password posted on the opposite wall. We ordered a sizable spread for two people: Chong Qing fried chicken, dan dan noodles, wontons with chili oil, and pea tips with garlic. Everything was delicious, most of all the Chong Qing fried chicken, crispy nibbly bits of breaded chicken stir-fried with green onion and hot pepper. I love dan dan noodles and wontons, and thought both were great, if not the best I've had in the area. The pea tips were lovely, bright green and not spicy, but abundantly flavorful. I'd love to come back to Xiang La Hui and try more of the menu. It seems like a restaurant that does everything well, and I'll keep it in mind whenever I'm craving Sichuan. read more

Grab a meal here with my friends, and there was street parking in a small parking lot in the back. The food was delicious and spicy. We grabbed a few items to share across eight people, and it was more than enough. We definitely had to request for more water, but it wasn't mind numbingly spicy and could still taste the flavor of the food. Love that they have beer towers to share. When we went, it was an evening on a Sunday night so it wasn't that full, but it was a warm night so the doors were open. read more

Xiang La Hui香辣汇 - Beer, Pig Ear with Chili Oil, Fish with Pickled Vegetable Soup, Ma Po Tofu, A Choy Chong Qing Fried Chicken - Szechuan Near Me - Alhambra, California

Yum! We were actually on our way to another sichuan food restaurant close by and drove by this place and decided to give it a shot. I'm so glad we did! Most of the food here is delicious and authentic, and it definitely has more of a homey feel. We got the mapo tofu (delicious), wonton in chilli oil (delicious), golden corn (basically deep fried corn with salted egg) was the surprising standout, and deep fried intestines/ offal was good too. The happy chicken was a tad on the dry side, will skip. The pork belly dish was good too and a nice respite from the stinging heat of all the dishes. Don't get me wrong, the spice was strong, but in a good way. Ordering is done via QR code and service was quick. Great option for a quick meal! read more

Came here because we wanted to eat Sichuan food! I had read a couple of reviews here before we came and overall, the consensus was that the dishes here are really salty, and I agree. Although salty, the flavors were pretty good and the service was quick. Chong Qing Fried Chicken - My husband loved this dish although I thought it was very salty. The spicy and numbing of the peppers infused with the chicken which was great. The chicken stayed nice and crispy the whole time. Stir Fried Beef - Pretty standard dish, but again, too salty. Not much to report about but the flavors were great, just too much salt. Overall, my experience here would have been great, but the salt was just too much. I probably wouldn't come back again. read more

Since I no longer truly reside in the 626 on a permanent basis, my search for new Asian restaurants puts me in many areas to find the latest delicious food venues, and Xiang La Hui is one of them. This place is not for the faint of heart, if you're afraid of spicy food. However, if you're adventurous and like a little kick to your dishes , this is the place to be. I did ask for my kung pao chicken to be less spicy, but I ordered the Dan Dan noodles to be regular spicy, and it was quite delicious. The noodles had the requisite springiness in its bite. The Jamaican lady sitting at the next tables shared a spicy Tin Foil pork rib with me, it was also delicious. She also recommended the Happy Chicken dish. Finding out the best dishes is easy, if you manage to talk to the regular customers. Generally, it's really hard to find people like me who occasionally like to adventure out for spicy food, but this place hits the spot when you have a dried chili craving. It's a good restaurant to bring your good friends, there are several large round tables available, several rectangular tables with booth seats or chairs, and the portions are very good for sharing. There is parking lot located at the back of the restaurant, and also some limited street parking. In the dining area, there's a mounted television showing you the chefs who are cooking Szechuan dishes, twirling around the red dried chilis in the wok pan, dishing out the food, and you see people enjoying and eating the food, great entertainment if you're eating by yourself. Do check out this restaurant when a craving for delicious spicy food comes upon you, this place won't disappoint you! read more

This was our first food stop during our visit in Los Angeles! My boyfriend suggested this restaurant since he previously visited with his family and enjoyed the food here! Once we came in, we were seated right away since there wasn't a line of people. We were able to scan a QR code to view the menu and place our order. We ordered three dishes: Toothpick Lamb, Mapo Tofu, and the Wonton with Chili Oil. Rice was not included, so we had to get that ordered as well. The food took a little longer than I would have liked since we were so hungry. Also, we were on a time crunch for a reservation later in the afternoon. The food was great! Served fresh and hot. I LOVED the Toothpick Lamb, even though over time my mouth was getting numb from the spice, but it was so good. I would definitely order that again! I love Mapo Tofu, but this particular one was spicier than I would have liked. Still enjoyed it though. The Wonton with Chili Oil was good, nothing special about it. The three dishes was a lot for the two of us, but we managed to finish it all without taking any leftovers. We got here a little after 1PM and was able to grab street parking right across the restaurant. The street is pretty busy, so it was a bit intimidating getting in and out of the parking spot. read more

I ordered the Sichuan boiled fish and stir-fried green beans, and wow, what an experience. The boiled fish was really good. It had that signature numbing sensation from the Sichuan peppercorns and was incredibly fragrant with all those aromatics floating on top. The spice level was definitely there, but it was tolerable, not one of those dishes where you can't taste anything except pain. You could actually enjoy the flavors while getting that nice tingle on your tongue. The stir-fried green beans, these were the real star for me. They came out hot and perfectly fried with this blistered exterior. The garlic and ginger flavor was such an amazing combination, really punchy and aromatic. Honestly, I could eat a whole plate of just these beans. One thing to note, rice is an add-on here, not automatically included, so keep that in mind when you're ordering. The service was fast, really efficient. I came during weekday lunch time and there was no waiting at all, which was great. Just sat down and the food came out quickly. Price-wise, it's on the higher side It's worth it when you're really craving authentic Sichuan flavors. Sometimes you just need that numbing spice fix, and this place delivers. Would definitely come back, especially on a weekday when it's not crowded. street parking* read more

Xiang La Hui香辣汇 - 剁椒鱼头 - Szechuan Near Me - Alhambra, California

Was craving Szechuan food and wanted to try a new place. Got the Chongqing fried chicken (重庆辣子鸡) and house special pork belly (梅菜扣肉) which is basically steamed pork belly with preserved vegetables. The chicken dish is just good. Is it spicy and numbing? Sure, with flying colors but the seasoning is lackluster. Chicken pieces are lightly breaded, crisp and juicy boneless thigh pieces. If you find yourself in NorCal, try this dish at Chili Garden (Milpitas) and Spices 3 (Oakland) and have your taste buds blown way. Their pork belly is a good choice for something non-spicy. Great cut of pork belly was used. The preserved mustard was close to mince paste consistency but passable. Beer tower was $14 (as of 07/2026). Argentina won against Egypt, I digress. read more

Food 4.1/5 Service 4.5/5 Value 4.2/5 Overall a great experience of a well rated Sichuan restaurant. The service was extremely quick and food came out piping hot! There was ample parking on the street when I went Sliced beef (cold dish): a favorite dish of mine, and the way this restaurant did not disappoint. The chili sauce was amazing and the beef was super tender. There are quite a few pieces with fat, which I personally love but I know can turn off some people. Strongly recommend Green Beans - Overall well stir fried but slightly salty for me Wok fried dry pot - This dish was a bit confusing for me. The meat was a little bit chewy, but I really liked the flavor and watercrest. I think the dish can be more cohesive and a different cut of meat would be preferred. Chong qing chicken - A great dish! The chicken was really crispy and quite flavorful. Would strongly recommend and would typically get the lamb, but the friend I was eating with didn't like lamb. A great replacement! read more

there's a big free parking lot close by. the place is clean and tidy. service was snappy and you order your food through QR code on the table. my signal was bad inside but they have wifi posted on the wall. ambience is fairly casual and there's often a nice flow of diners in this place. the food order: - fried tofu + veggies tasted fresh was a nice side dish to contrast the spicier dishes - the grilled fish w/ pickled veggies was great. i prefer the green peppercorn to red these days and this one was a bit heavier on the acidity (which i love). - tinfoil pork ribs were very good. the meat was moist but with good chew. heavy on the chilies, peppercorn, garlic and cilantro. for me it had the perfect spiciness--any more and it would've been too challenging. will def come back. read more

Our meal was really spoiled by overacting. We should have taken some reviews regarding sodium seriously. The toothpick lamb was inedible. The Chinese couple next to us faced the same situation. The other dishes were too salty, but edible. Too bad because the wait person was very nice. read more

So many Sichuan places these days, Xiang La Hui does a quality frog leg if you don't mind a bit of spice-- I think it defaults to their "level 4." We got a pork intestine and potato dry pot as well (level 3) that was actually quite a bit less spicy, and while that one seemed like a lot of potato, by the end it was actually quite a bit of nicely crispy sliced intestine. Pea sprouts were good too, and everything was pretty decent in portions. The ambiance is relatively modern and spacious (as seems to be par for the mid-end places in the Main Street area of Alhambra), service was quick, and the overall experience was a positive one. Sadly no stomach space for toothpick lamb or water fish this visit. Now... someone else who knows Sichuan food better than me can probably give a more nuanced opinion. read more

tl;dr even the stellar toothpick lamb and string beans can't protect against the duller menu items or the eyebrow-raising sanitary rating Chengdu Taste and Sichuan Impression set the bar for Alhambra's Sichuan scene, so, as a relative newcomer to Main St, Xiang La Hui had its work cut out for it. It carves out a niche, finding a balance between chicness and affordability, and its food is more seasoned and less spicy (Xiang La Hui loosely translates to "balanced fragrance and spice"). Larger-than-life photos of signature menu items decorate the tinted windows out front. Enter into a slightly walled-off waiting area, and a staff member will direct you toward an open table. An upholstered half-booth runs along the right wall, and a dedicated bar is in the far back. The interior leans heavily into accent lighting and modern finishes, from darkwood tables to birdcage-like lighting fixtures to textured wood panel walls. Contemporary Chinese pop alternates with 70s English hits. The restaurant always boasts a few large parties, but tops out at about 1/3 full. Between 2 visits, I've been treated to surprising hits and definite misses. Xiang La Hui's Toothpick Lamb was the best rendition I've had, sporting an excellently cumin-forward flavor with moderate mala and saltiness. The mala-centric Kung Fu Boiled Beef and Kung Fu Boiled Fish are perfect to pair with rice, but I wish that bowls and a non-slotted ladle were provided so I could sip the broth. Most notably, the mildly spicy and exquisitely salty Wok-Fried String Bean was possibly the best dish I've enjoyed, combining an uber-rich flavor with a satisfying crunch. On the other hand, the Cucumber in Garlic was mostly forgettable, not quite vinegary enough and not quite garlicy enough. The Chong Qing Fried Chicken, consisting of bite-sized breaded chicken nuggets, had an off-putting greasiness akin to KFC chicken skin (which, admittedly, my partner seemed to enjoy). Finally, the signature Happy Chicken (which nearly every table seemed to order) was too messy and cumbersome -- the hanging chicken pieces dripped grease directly onto the table, and the small bones interfered with easily indulging in the well-seasoned skin. Dishes were prepared quickly in the blink of an eye, and, while each seemed incredibly large, a decent chunk of the volume was dedicated to Sichuan peppercorns and other inedible spices. Everything was mild to moderately spicy; I had no trouble, but a few less experienced members of the party felt their mouths on fire. Across 4 dishes, my bill for both visits has hovered right around $100 (after tax and tip). Most unpalatably, Xiang La Hui has only a B health inspection rating, and, unsurprisingly, the floor and counter surfaces feel greasy and unclean to the touch. For this reason, I probably won't add Xiang La Hui to my Sichuan repertoire, even if the lamb and string beans were out of this world. read more

Great Szechuan spot in SGV. They have the ever elusive toothpick lamb that is hands down my favorite dish. Any Szechuan place I go to has to have this. Theirs is quite good with that mala flavor and quite a generous portion. They have a lot of other standards such as string beans mapo tofu and the stir fried pork. I will say I found quite a bit of the food on the salty side which is why I can't give them 5/5. Service was very attentive and the ordering was quite easy on the Asian app/website that's becoming more common. I personally like menus but it was easy to navigate and food came out extremely quickly! read more

Drove 30 miles to get here, not a bad place for Szechuan food. You can tell the oil they use is in house, they don't use those supermarket Hot Oil Packets that most restaurants do when making dry pot or boiling fish. We ordered the Roasted Fish, it didn't disappoint, however I do argue the portions of fish seemed little, wished there was more fish in the dish, but the flavors were not overwhelming, you can taste the different layers of spices in the oil they used, so not bad. For cold dishes we ordered garlic soy sauce eggplant, this was really good, and we also went for the cold cucumbers to balance it out, not bad. Our final dish was the House Mala Spicy Crab, very good, strongly recommend! Overall the service, waitress was really good, she took care of us, the interior space is very fitting, nice and quiet, only downside is probably parking but overall it's worth a drive for szechuanese food. read more

Been here twice with family. It's a very nice place, beautiful decorations, two tv screens showing food shows, and it's quite small with max capacity of 70. Their menu is via a QR code per table and you order on the phone. You can choose the language to be English or Chinese which is great. They have dishes that are not spicy, mild, spicy, and very spicy. My uncle ordered some spicy dishes and asked them to make them mild, which is already pretty spicy for me and him , but it's great for anyone who can handle the spice. The dishes that weren't spicy that I enjoyed were the pork belly dish, lamb ribs, green beans, and sweet and sour chicken. The rest were really spicy, I tried the Kung pao shrimp which was made mild spice level but it was pretty spicy still .... I saw a table order a beer tower thing, a rack of hanging chicken wings, and a hotpot like stew with a lot of food. Seems there are really cool items others should try next time. They have gendered restrooms where the sink and mirror are outside. They were BOTH broken when we ent for dinner so very disappointed. so we went to Ross for restrooms which was a few blocks away or a min drive away... read more

Authentic Sezchuan spot in SGV. Generous portions, although it's mostly peppers more than protein. I recommend the toothpick lamb and fried intestines dish. Both are crispy and very flavorful. I felt the lamb was over seasoned with salt, it was impossible to eat more than a few bites without rice or water - and it wasn't because of the heat. This spot has a convenient ordering system through the phone. No paper menus. I also tried the boiled fish, which I would not recommend. It wasn't as flavorful as the other two. read more

If you're not a spicy person, DO NOT come here. If you are, then this is your place. Almost 90% of their dishes are spicy with a thick layer of oil or pan fried in a sea of chili peppers. We ordered the spicy soup cooked with the fish, another spicy soup cooked in a mixture of duck blood and veggies. The toothpick lamb was acceptable from a spice perspective and packed with flavor. I recommend to order some white rice to help with the spiciness and also to feel more full. We had a party of 7 (4+3 kids) and ordered $200 but was barely full because each dish doesn't have a lot of edible protein unless you can also eat the chili alone. We had some kids in our party and struggled to find things they can eat. read more

I've been back in person since COVID. Prices were good but recently they increased, just as everywhere else has. Rice is $2.50 per bowl.

You order the food via your phone. There is a QR code on the table, so you are able to take a long as you need to decide what to order. Once you order, the food comes out very fast. Personally I wouldn't say the food was too spicy. The food definitely did have a nice flavor to it. We got three dishes, the double braised pork, Serrano pepper beef, and the toothpick lamb. My favorite of the three would be the toothpick lamb. It has great flavor, and after a bit you do feel the spice. The Serrano pepper beef was also very good, and there is also a bed of bean sprouts on the bottom. We didn't notice until about half way through the dish. The braised pork was not as exciting as the other two dishes, but is was always quite delicious. I would definitely come again if I was in the area. read more

Look. This is my best kept secret. I go in alone leave with all the leftovers lol I initially came for the hanging chicken and sautéed eggplant, but now I'm here for the cold eggplant and Ching Qing chicken! I love most about this place is the ease of ordering and consistency. I typically come in about 5pm and never had to wait for a table (it does start to fill up by the time I leave). Scan the QR code, order online (make notes on food order if need), and the food comes in a timely manner, cooked to order, and just...freaking delicious. Every time. Although it's half service, you can easily call a server over to help with ordering or get you condiments. I appreciate that a full bottle of water is dropped at my table the moment I sit down. Not the most admirable decorated place, but clean and cozy. Bathroom is always clean and well stocked. THE FOOD Sautéed eggplants with wood ear mushrooms - very good! There's a good about of mixed vegetables and not too sweet on the sauce. It comes out on a sizzling plate. I thoroughly enjoyed this dish. Cold eggplant with chili and garlic- look. I don't know who the hell thought this was a good idea, cause it's a GREAT idea! Steamed then cooled eggplants loaded with Thai chilies and garlic then drizzled with sesame oil and little soy sauce. Cold eggplant sounded weird, but I took a chance after seeing it at another table and baby! I prefer this over the sautéed eggplant (although that is amazing too). Ching Qing Chicken - never as spicy as I'm expecting, but don't get it twisted, it is spicy. I always get good bite size of chicken perfectly seasoned, not over salty. Really hard not to murder the whole plate cause I can if I stay for 2hours Lmao. The fried popcorn size chicken bites are topped with garlic, ginger, and scallions. Mmm...damn. Now I want to drive out here. Always get a pot of tea and steamed rice cause, ya know...it's Szechuan. Someone try the dry pot and tell me how it is. read more

Came on Tuesday around 7 pm, The street parking was all taken, had to parked at the back of the restaurant, which could only hold about 6 cars. Wish they had a bigger parking lot. We ordered the Kung Fu boiled fish, Wok-Fried Kidney, and cabbage. The portion was generous. We almost finished the first two and had 1/2 left of the cabbage. The Kung Fu boiled fish is supposed to be a typical Sichuan-style food. But it was about the average and tasted like using pre-mixed pasted to make the broth. I know you are not supposed to drink the broth with that dish, but it affects the fish flavor. At least the fish filet was fresh and not overcooked. The wok-fried kidney is not a regular dish I order for it requires some wok and seasoning skills to remove the distinctive taste of the pork kidney with a good texture. I was surprised that they did a good job: They were freshly tender. Happy that they were smooth without the thick layer of starch-coating. The spicy flavor was well blended with the kidney and peppers. My favorite was the cabbage. The one with the least expectation. If it was not served the last, I might finish it. The wok preserved the natural sweetness of the cabbage, less spicy than the other two dishes. (I'll say mild level ). I wish they could make it spicier though. Texture-wise, the cabbage was fully cooked but still had the crunchy freshness. Love it! Sorry to say, but the service was less exciting than the food. You order by scanning the QR code on the table. The menu is in both English and Chinese. Parking is limited, but the inside is bigger. Average level of noise. I would definitely come back to try their noodles and dry-pot series. read more

Beware. They used "thousand years old" cooking oil rather than fresh cooking oil for cooking. It seems no fresh ingredients were used. Ordered tartan noodle for $18.00. Received a bowl of stinky red pepper oil and a bowl of gluey noodle. Peanuts tasted mushy, stale taste, and had been soaking in the "pepper" oil for months and some preserved veggies in it. Again, no fresh ingredients, and loaded with heavy MSG. The oily noodles sticked together like glue. Can't separate it. Will not recommend read more

*Parking: Street parking on Main Street! We got lucky enough to snag a spot right in front of the restaurant when we arrived at 6:30pm on a Saturday. *Experience: For a highly rated restaurant, it was surprisingly empty for a Saturday night at prime dinner time. You get seated and place your order via QR code. Service was also shockingly quick. Our first dish came out within 5mins of placing our order. I don't know whether to be happy or not about the speed cause it also means that things might not be freshly cooked to order. You can check in for a free soda! *Food: Among 6 of us, we ordered toothpick lamb, happy chicken, spicy broiled fish, braised pork belly, and braised tofu along with 5 bowls of rice. The rice is a must so you can balance out the strong flavors. Everything was pretty good. My favorite was the spicy broiled fish. read more

I can't believe the good reviews. Toothpick lamb just tastes like cumin, that's all. It's kinda tough and doesn't have much lamb flavor.

I don't want to just chew on bone and skin. read more

Delicious Sichuan style food in the SGV! You really can't go wrong with basically anything on their menu. I'd say at least stick with something to share that is in their specials list for sure! We ordered three different items and they were all delicious! The most spicy was the Serrano beef pepper considering it had the Serrano peppers at the too of it. I'm sure we could have ordered some other items that were spicier but we were both content with our options!

Date of visit: 9/11/2023 In celebrating my milestone bday with friends, they took me lunch here. We ordered: - spicy grilled fish: fish tasted good. It was perfectly prepared (not over cooked) and the potatoes were also soft. Most other places tend to undercook the potatoes, making it inedible and we had to wait for it to be cooked more before we can consume it, but not here, so it's definitely a plus. BUT somehow the sauce was sour. We had similar dish at other places and this was the first time that we encountered a sour tasting sauce! Another thing that's bothering me and my friends about this dish, we feel that the fish was so small; there was not much edible part. For $45, we were expecting a larger fish, to be honest. So I don't think I will order this dish again if I ever come back. - shrimp dry pot: ORDER IT! Sooo good, BUT it was soooo spicy! The minute I had my first bite, my mouth was burning with numbing spicy feeling. But it was so good that I just couldn't stop having it lol - toothpick lamb: ORDER IT! Lamb was very tasty flavorful and I like it semi dry crispy so this dish was perfect to me. I want to come back and try other dishes. read more
