This small, but mighty Michelin recommended Szechuan restaurant has stolen the hearts of many, including mine. If you and your family likes spicy food and food packed with flavor as much as mine does, this place will not disappoint. The portions are generous and service is consistent. My favorites that we order every time are the spicy pork belly and the spicy chili chicken (Fried chicken tossed in chili). Every dish is authentic and consistent, highly recommend! Some other great dishes to try: -Szechuan Boiled Fish -Dan Dan Noodles -Stir fried string beans -griddle cooked veggies and pork read more

This place is probably, no, definitely my favorite Szechuan place. Having said that, let me defend that statement. 1. The service is good--enough said. I'm not asking for a waiter that hovers around us at every moment. I want a waiter who notices when plates are full of crawfish shells and will come over to replace it. A waiter who doesn't responds nicely and doesn't act like they don't want you to be here. That's it. 2. The quality of the ingredients is amazing. There's a reason why I order Chongqing chicken at every Szechuan place if they have it. The chicken come in large juicy pieces of ACTUAL quality chicken. It's fried to a crisp, doused in peppers, and when you bite in--oh my god. read more

Szechuan restaurant located in the heart of Millbrae along El Camino Real. The interior is simple clean and cozy. However they do have quite an extensive picture menu, mainly full of spicy food and specialty dishes that you normally won't find in other restaurants, such as griddle bullfrog. That's a little too exotic for me. We mainly ordered the popular traditional dishes such as the spicy Dan Dan noodle, xiaolongbao, and spicy wonton. Taste was OK, but hecka spicy. Gave me a little heartburn afterwards. If you can handle the spiciness, then this is the place for you. read more

Bay Area is so rich when it comes to offer quality food with so much authentic flavors. Yummy Szechuan is an example of this and no wonder it is a Michelin recommendation. Ambience is just like any other small restaurants of Bay Area but food wise it is exceptional. I had Chili Chicken and chili white fish and both were yummy spicy and flavorful. Quantity was more than enough for one person but I was super hungry so I ate all of them and off course left the chilies . They were a lot and I could not have handle it . Word of caution make sure you eat ice cream which I did in my hotel . Their desert selection is poor . Service is good fast and conversation is to the point only . If I am I the area again and can resist of not going to a new unvisited restaurant I will come back . read more

Really tasty food. Love it. 毛血旺 and 诱惑蛙 are really delicious. 韭菜盒子 is also tasty as good as homemade ones from China.

There are so many things wrong with this restaurant. Let me count the ways. First, this restuarant is small and crowded. There is absolutely no real place to stand to wait for a table. Second, the food is so greasy that it is just makes it very heavy to eat. I like Chinese food and I know that it can be greasy, but that was just completely greasy and messy. Third, there was a nice hole in our to-go container so the sauce spilled all over the bag. Forth, some of the dishes mostly consisted of spices and not meat. We got the Couple's Delight, Szechuan Dan Dan Noodles, Black Pepper Beef, Beef Pancakes, and Chongqing Spicy Chili Chicken. The Couple's Delight was okay. It was kind of heavy because of the sauce and didn't like the Tripe together with the meat. The Szechuan Dan Dan Noodles were really heavy and greasy because of the sauce also. Although the noodles were okay, the sauce just killed this dish for me. The Chongqing Spicy Chili Chicken was meh. There was mostly Peppers and Peppercorns and only a few Chicken. The Chicken was crunchy and was mostly overpriced spicy Popcorn Chicken. The only saving Grace's was the Beef Pancakes and the Black Pepper Beef. The Beef Pancakes were good. The meat was flavorful and tender. It just would have been better with less Cilantro. The Black Pepper Beef was full of flavor and tender. It had a nice little kick and is not greasy like the other dishes that we ordered. Overall, most of the food was way too greasy, messy, or had too many peppers/peppercorns. read more

I came here on a Saturday night and it wasn't too packed around 8 o'clock if you add yourself to the waitlist on yelp. My boyfriend has had his eye on this place for a while and I'm glad we were finally able to check it out, I was not disappointed! Dan Dan noodles: these are probably the most unique noodles I've ever tried. They have a this peanut/nutty flavor with slight acidity. It's such a unique and delicious flavor, you have to try these noodles. The serving size is perfect to share between two people. Dumplings with spicy sauce: This is another dish that was highly recommended and we chose the dumplings over the wontons. These were probably one of my favorite parts of the whole meal. It came with five big, juicy dumplings that are stuffed with meat and veggies. The sauce it came in was probably my favorite part, I use this to dip my chicken and other entrées LOL Chongqing spicy chicken: this dish is definitely mesmerizing to look at initially. It is chicken combined with a ton of dry peppers, but it is not as spicy as it looks. The dried peppers don't have much spice and the chicken almost tastes like a popcorn chicken style. It's still really good but it was definitely not one of the most flavorful dishes I had. I dipped the chicken in the dumpling sauce to enhance the flavor of it. read more

Good but extremely hot. Lately the spicy dishes here have become extremely hot and spicy to the point of giving both my wife and I stomach issues for the next day. This is a change from our prior experience here. Will be ordering from other places in the future. read more

Hated it. The portion is incredibly small. Do not order seafood/frog they got one leg and two backs of frogs. Avoid this restaurant and save your money. Recommend Apple green in Cupertino for authentic Szechuan dishes. read more

Hands down the best Sichuan food in San Mateo county. The food is all very tasty and reasonably priced, and the service is amazing! The staff are all very polite and noticed themselves after setting the dish down that they had given me the fish version of a dish instead of the beef version I ordered. Highly recommend the mapo tofu or spicy poached beef. Best of all, beers are only $5! Will be coming back soon! read more

So good! I'm glad we stopped by and tried it. Will definitely come back again. The service was also superb. While we were waiting for our takeout, the waitress offered us hot tea to enjoy. Another plus point is the restroom is very clean. read more

EVENT: One of my "to go places" when I'm feeling spicy tonight! COVID Orders: still no sign of eating indoors, we mainly order togo.. very easy... I like calling to order, but you can still order online. Usually it takes them ~20 minutes to get it ready... they are fast! FOOD: no lie... I only order... one item and I'm seriously full! 1. House Spicy Boiled Fish: A MUST GET if you're hella into explosive spiciness! Love the numbing pepper corn - it just numbs your mouth with every bite. Love the fish bites - perfect size. It comes with beansprouts and sometimes napa cabbage for fillers. Once you start eating... seriously, you cannot stop eating! OVERALL: House Spicy Boiled Fish = A MUST GET! read more

I think that this might be my new go to Szechuan place in the Bay Area! I went here after looking on the Michelin guide for restaurants, and I can definitely say that this place did not disappoint. I ordered ahead of time and all of my dishes were ready within 20 minutes. I got the Garlic Eggplant, Mapo Tofu, and Stewed Fish. Since everything was takeout the fish came in two containers (which was definitely more than I originally anticipated)! Everything was piping hot by the time I got home and it felt like I was eating at the restaurant. The food definitely had the peppercorn kick and my mouth was numb by the end of the meal (worth it though!). The Garlic Eggplant was a great counterbalance to the other two dishes when I needed a break all of the spice. The Mapo Tofu was a lot slikier than a lot of the other places that I tried in the Bay Area. I will definitely be be coming back! read more

My go-to for szechuan cuisine. Especially since it's close to South City. There is a wide variety of vegetarian options that can be prepared without onion or garlic. I usually get the Japanese grass jelly appetizer, chongqing spicy noodles, deep fried jin sha mushrooms with pieces of corn, and griddle cooked mushrooms. The appetizers always come in larger portion that I expect. The spices are not overwhelmingly spicy, with just the right amount of sichuan numbness for my palate. The jin sha mushrooms are super fun to eat! read more

Disclaimer: I do not eat spicy food, so pretend you have a tolerance level of 0 when reading this review. My family and I decided to check out Yummy Szechuan when we saw that it had a line out the door one day while we were waiting to be seated at Asian Pearl for dim sum. On the day we decided to finally try this place out, the place was only about half full (it was noon on a weekend). A little worried, we decided to just give it a shot since we were already there. We pretty much had a great experience (at the expense of my taste buds), and have already gone there another time since. These are the dishes we've ordered: - Dumplings w/ red spicy sauce (4/5) - Braised pork ribs with bamboo shoots (3/5) - Szechuan dan dan noodles (4/5) - Griddle cooked tender beef (6/5!! Our favorite dish!) - Chongqing spicy chili chicken (5/5) Even though my tongue died eating here, our favorite dishes are the griddle cooked tender beef and Chongqing spicy chili chicken. The griddle cooked tender beef is served in a hot pot-type bowl, and it has enoki mushrooms, beef, and vermicelli noodles. You have to let it boil a bit when it gets to the table, but omg the flavor of this is amazing. I didn't drink too much of the sauce/soup it was in, but the mushrooms were like noodles and the beef was super tender. We made a mental note to always order this whenever we come. The spicy chili chicken is pretty much popcorn chicken but super spicy. The pieces of chicken are served in a plate full of chopped chilis, and can get spicy but I really liked the texture and flavor. Just make sure to order a side of white rice to give your tongue a break (because water and tea alone won't do it). read more

I used to live in the Bay Area, and it was difficult to find Chinese food that met my standards. When I saw this restaurant was recommended by the Michelin Guide, I knew I had to give it a chance because Michelin rarely looks at Asian food in the same regard as French cuisine. Was here on a Monday for lunch. There were already several Chinese patrons, which was a good sign. The server seated us and took care of us. We ordered the kung pao chicken, string beans, and spicy won ton. The kung pao chicken was so disappointing. It tasted so Americanized, and like ketchup. So disappointed!!! The spicy won ton was good, but I have had better in SoCal Chinese restaurants. The stringed beans were the best dish, but were also okay. While the food was disappointing, the service here was attentive and really good. Seeing all the videos, I was disappointed by the food. Michelin needs to visit L.A. to really try better Chinese food. read more

we went here with w large group on april 1st saturday night.

Yummy Szechuan - Szechuan Near Me - Millbrae, California

It's one of those rare moments where Yelp has let me down. I've came here today with my mom for lunch. We are big fans of Szechuan food and are always on the lookout for a new place to eat at and I've read a lot of the reviews on here this morning before finally telling my mom that we should give this place a try. She agreed. That was her downfall. Located on El Camino Real, this place is actually just a block down from another Sichuan place so there's definitely competition here. The inside of this place is a good size with a lot of tables to sit at. One downside is that they don't have a ceiling fan and they don't keep their front door open so it does get warm in here when you're eating. They have lunch specials M-F, 11-230pm I think and my mom ended up getting their stewed beef ramen while I ordered their onion wrapped beef pancake and their dumplings in spicy sauce. Food was meh. Maybe it's because my mom got their beef ramen stewed and not spicy so it didn't have any flavor at all? I'm not sure, but even if it wasn't spicy, it should've still held some flavor and yet I got nothing from it. The dumplings in spicy sauce was not spicy whatsoever. The dumplings itself were okay, but I expected to have my mouth burning and I did not get that at all. The beef pancake was okay, although somewhat smaller that other restaurants. Service was alright. Nothing really to brag about. The girl took our order in a timely matter, and although she didn't check on us repeatedly, at least she remembered to get me my water so props to that. Overall, I'd probably go to the Sichuan place at the next block over this place. read more

Fantastic. Would recommend to everyone! Reasons price and a lot of food!! We live in the neighborhood and always get our food there!!

Legit. Not the best I've had but still quite good. Just little things here and there I'd say. I only got the food to go so I can't really comment about service or anything like that but the food was nice and hot. The seating inside seems like it can get kinda cramped. I'd imagine some difficulties with getting a table when it is busy. So I ordered the zhang jian mien, cheng du spicy veggies, and the ma po tofu. The zhang jian mien was good both that day and the next. The balance of the sauce to veggies to noodles was actually nice. I wish I had had some type of large bowl to mix it in but you can only ask for so much with a hotel room after all. The cheng du spicy veggies were good. The sauce had only a slight layer of oil at the top. The sauce had a nice taste to it, and wasn't overbearing on its flavor which was good considering the myriad of ingredients. The portion was bigger than what I thought it would be being in two 32 oz plastic containers. The ma po tofu was a bit better than average. There was a large layer of oil at the top though. I'd say eat it outside of the container so that you aren't just dragging what you're eating through it otherwise most of what you taste is just the chili oil. A good meal I'd say but lessons learned. To me it isn't really hotel room friendly depending on the dish, but that's my circumstances and not necessarily the same for the food. Just happened to be there for my consumption. I'd definitely go back again though some other time to sit and enjoy the meal the way it is supposed to be haha. read more

Yummy Szechuan - House Fried Rice Dry Sauteed String Bean Huagfei Hong Spicy Chili Chicken Beef Lamb - Szechuan Near Me - Millbrae, California

Was enticed by that Michelin recommended poster they had and decided to give this place a try. I can here pretty late during the weekends for lunch so I didn't have to wait. However, service was a bit slow so please be prepared for that. I tried the following items: beef pancake, wontons in spicy peanut sauce, and a sour and spicy rice vermicelli. I got to say, the beef pancake was the best and that vermicelli was the worst. The pancakes were essentially a green onion pancake wrapped aroun thin slices of beef with some hoisin sauce and green onions. It totally reminded me of Peking duck with steam buns. Overall not bad but lacking some ingredients on the outer edges of the pancake rolls. Wontons in peanut sauce was a bit disappointing. Yeah the sauce was good BUT the wontons were highly disappointing with that thick skin. Definitely had better elsewhere. I'd even rather eat Costco mini wontons than these. Lastly the vermicelli. Nothing really special except it was just sauce and noodles. Wasn't spicy but was getting a lot of the numbing peppers at the end so it became bleh. Also had to wait an extremely long time for this dish and was practically full waiting so long. Not sure why this took so long but I definitely saw customers who sat down after us get their noodle dishes before I did. Overall, don't know how they got Michelin recommended because I think wontons are something a restaurants needs to know how to make to be successful. Possibly be back for the pancake but not sure what else. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. The food is so delicious, it's authentic and has a lot of options.

We got here around 9:15pm on a Sunday and was a little rushed even though they close at 10pm. When we sat down, they told us to order quickly because they are closing soon. When it was 9:45pm, they gave us the check and said they had to enter it in the system before closing -10pm.. Most places let you come in until closing and will still seat and not rush you, but not this place.. Although they were rushing us, the service wasn't too bad. We were able to get their attention when we needed something and they packed our food up for us so we didn't have to do it ourselves, which was nice. We ordered the dan dan noodles, couple's delight and the Chongqing Spicy Chili Chicken - basically everything they're really known for. The Dan dan noodles were OK - kind of peanuty tasting with a numbing spice but wasn't really spicy. The couple's delight consisted of tripe, tendon and shank. I was excited to get this because I haven't gotten a mixture of these three before for this dish and i really like tripe, but unfortunately, it wasn't the part of the tripe that I like/am usually used to (the kind in pho or dimsum). It was kind of a harder more chewy texture :/ Although it isn't the best I've had - this was my bf's favorite dish of the night. We also got the Chongqing Spicy Chili Chicken. This dish isn't really spicy even though there are a lot of peppers. This dish was kind of bland in my opinion. It had a bit of a numbing spice to it, but wasn't flavorful enough. I've had a better version of this dish elsewhere as well. Overall, I unfortunately don't think I will come back. It was nice to try, but not the best Schezuan food I've had. read more

My husband and I were picking up a friend flying into SFO and looked up a place nearby to have dinner. Our friend hadn't had Sichuanese food before, and we were glad we took a chance on this place because we were quite impressed! We ordered some staples: Couple's Delight, Chongqing Spicy Chili Fish, Twice Cooked Pork, and Eggplant String Beans. Good level of spicy, and the numbing flavor was nicely present in the Chongqing Fish, which I usually get instead of the Chongqing Chicken because it's more novel. We really liked everything and so did our friend! Looking forward to coming back next time we're in the area. read more

Food poisoning, all of us from this restaurant. Food quality was not good. Very oily, heavy.

Delicious. I had their hot and sour soup and their sweet & sour chicken and I have no complaints.

There was a cockroach in our soup. Halfway through our noodle we found a little friend doing a backstroke in our noodle. I understand it's a Chinese restaurant and sh!t happens. We scooped the bug out in a smaller bowl and showed it to the sever and told him nicely there was a dead bug in our noodle soup. He looked at it and took the bowl away. No apologies. At this point we have lost our appetite and asked for the check. Second server came by and asked us if we want to pack the noodle soup to-go. We reminded them once again there was a roach in it. Still no apologies. We order 5 dishes including the noodle soup and paid in full. We were expecting to pay in full. We were mainly pissed at how they handled the situation. The least they can do is apologize. My advise is to pay attention to what you eat.. Roaches can easily hide among all the spices and herbs. Never coming back again.. read more

Yummy Szechuan - Szechuan Near Me - Millbrae, California

2nd time here... the first time I had gotten their cold noodles for takeout and was extremely impressed by the flavors. However, on this second visit I came with my family, we ordered a few different dishes to try, but unfortunately some of them were too salty. I guess since it's Szechuan food, the flavors are supposed to be bolder?! Overall it's still really good if you like spicy food, and I like the beautiful presentation as well as the good service (compared to most Chinese restaurants, if you know what I mean lol). Parking can be a bit difficult on the weekends, as they're right off of El Camino Real. There is a shared parking lot on the back side though! Favorite dishes are: Chongqing Spicy Chicken, Chicken Cold Noodle (make sure they go easy on the sauce), Cauliflower with Chinese bacon. P.S. Kudos to the chef for winning so many awards! read more
