Between the consistency, the authenticity and the quality, Sichuan Kitchen’s food is a spectacular example of Sichuan cuisine. The ambiance is quaint and only highlights the elevated cuisine here. I’ve been going here a few times every month for almost seven months now and have never been disappointed. If you have questions about a dish, simply ask. But try not to substitute. The beauty of this food is what is already in it. If you’re looking for fast Chinese-American food (I.e. stir-fry, fried rice) this is not the place to go.
First time visiting this restaurant. The food was excellent, I highly recommend the dumplings. Will definitely revisit in the future.
Such a great experience! I came on my birthday, solo and without reservations, yet they sat me quickly and everyone was so kind on a busy Friday night. I had hot sake, Zhong dumplings and Mapo Tofu -- and I can't fully describe how wonderful all the authentic flavors were -- SO GOOD. This is now one of my favorite neighborhood places. I'll definitely be back! :-)
Zhong dumplings were the best — the chili sauce was amazing with notes of spice and sweetness. My friends and I ended up buying 1/2 pint of sauce each to take home.
FOOD WAS AMAZING, DELICIOUS & filled with loads of taste! This place is a MUST TRY! Service was good too. Small spot so during the tourist season make a reservation. The veggie hot pot is spicy but sooooo good. The beef with noodle soup dish has the most tender beef ever. Treat yourself & stop by for dinner or order take out.
So much more than they have for review choices! So fast and hot!!! Crispy..crunchy..spicy..numbing..salty..the dumpling sauce from top of menu is killer. crunchy garlic/chili oil needs a fun tweak to pop. keep making amazing food.
I liked my meal a lot and the decor of the restaurant is very classy. The fish dish I had was very tasty and spicy. The after taste of the spice was great and had a unique peppercorn flavor.This place is very nice and I'd happily go again.
Still one of the best around for Chinese style cuisine. This is not americanized Chinese food. The food is all excellently prepared and tasty. We went a bit wild since it had been awhile since our last visit. While an expensive date night it was so satisfying. If you are used to Americanized Chinese food ask questions. But i know you can't go wrong with the offerings here.
We make a point of stopping here whenever we can, when we’re in Portland. The cucumber salad is my hands down favorite with a cold beer. The dish is the perfect blend of Sichuan pepper and spices, and cold cukes. I want to eat my way through the menu, since everything is so great. I spent some time in Sichuan Province and can assure you this is authentic Sichuan cooking. To the people that wrote reviews on here that the food is too spicy… there’s only one reply. “Ok, Boomer.” Seriously, what did you miss about “Sichuan” in the name? Sichuan is synonymous with spicy. Sichuan Kitchen staff is also friendly and efficient. Prices are very reasonable, for the portion size and quality!
I’ve eaten here so many times since moving to Portland! Way better than Empire in my book! I’ve only eaten inside once due to COVID, but both the dine-in and takeout service was/are fantastic. This place is definitely worth looking into for your next meal.
