Sichuan Chinese Restaurant and Hot-Pot

The food is incredible. When they say spicy, they aren't joking. The spicy tofu was hotter than any other Thai or Chinese dish I have experienced. Loved the peanut dumplings, the sauce was good and there was a big drizzle of actual peanut butter. The dumplings were a really good size and we actually saved some for leftovers. Edit to add more pics: The eggplant tofu with garlic sauce was amazing! I absolutely loved the spicy garlic cucumber and peanut salad (a cold salad). The black pepper tofu wasn't spicy, if you need a cooler dish, and my husband likes the general tso's a lot. This restaurant is consistently the best and freshest Chinese food in town.

I am so happy to have found this place. The food is fantastic, and the selection of dishes is expansive. Get a century egg and have your life changed. Also, the sautéed intestines with hot peppers are beautifully cooked. I want everything they serve now.

The food has been great; hot and fresh.
I highly recommend their pork egg rolls, fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, general TSO and chicken and broccoli.

I wish they’d allow the front door to open vs having to squeeze through to pick up an order.

So happy they were able to open up their dine-in :) I’ve been meaning to try this place forever and finally got a chance to sit down and eat. The crab Rangoon were so amazing, and my chicken was perfect. The woman who served us was so kind and when she brought to go boxes she brought me a to go sauce without me even having to ask. Definitely coming back!

I have had Sichuan food in several places including Chicago's Lao Sichuan. This one is neck to neck if not better. The owner, and that staff are very friendly. The braised beef noodle can compete with some of the best Shoyu Ramen I had in Tokyo and Kyoto.

My husband and I always order from Sichuan through DoorDash! Last week we had the pleasure of visiting the place in person. The food was great as usual, the staff was kind and friendly. The portion sizes were pretty big as well.

The food was great; we had it delivered so can't speak to the restaurant itself. We ordered crab Rangoon, egg rolls, sesame chicken and General Tso's chicken. The chicken is large chunks of white meat and the portions are good. The egg rolls are the best I've had in town. The crab Rangoon was crispy on the outside and creamy in the middle, and tasted fantastic.

There are many good items on the menu, but I really love the Sichuan Style Braised Sliced Beef/ Fish the most; the garlic and spice smells so good and the beef/ fish is very tasty. In regards to other items… some are just OK, and if you like you dishes done other ways you should ask them to do so; they are open for a bit of customization free of charge.

I cannot thank the folks here enough for their customer service. I ordered on Christmas Day after a long weekend and no food in the fridge. A door dasher messed up and delivered the wrong food. I contacted the restaurant and while my order was gone they offered to remake the order for me for free. They totally lost money to make sure we had dinner and they were extremely kind about it.

On top of that, I had some of the best fried rice I've ever eaten tonight. I appreciate all their vegetarian options and in general I highly recommend this restaurant.

**Must-Haves!"**

Picture this:
1. Crab Rangoon that's crispy outside, creamy inside;
2. Egg Rolls loaded with savory goodness;
3. Spicy Chicken with a fiery kick,
4. Dumplings soooooooooooo good, they're practically addictive!

These dishes are like hitting the flavor jackpot! Get your taste buds ready for a taste adventure infused with the bold, spicy charm of Sichuan cuisine. Dive in and let your palate dance with these bold, flavorful bites!

food is really good here, went multiple times and prices are reasonable and low compared to other Chinese restaurants. Staff are friendly. I recommend this place.

Amazing service, owner is so very nice, and the food is divine. I go very often and always recommend it. This place's milk tea boba made me like tapioca pearls

When I stumbled upon this restaurant I wasn't aware that it was carry out only but the staff was friendly and let me in. The food was made quickly which made me think it had been there awhile but it was delicious. Big chunks of juicy chicken breast and spicy sauce and the crab rangoon was tasty too. I will go back again.

What an amazing place! We are privileged to have such an authentic Sichuan style Chinese restaurant in town. Immediately after walking in, the smell (and after we got our food, the taste) was so similar to the food I ate while in China a few years ago.

The staff was wonderfully helpful guiding my wife and I to a couple of good selections and our server was very attentive.

One note: the dinner entrees are sized for two people (it one really really hungry person ha!)

I dined in once several years ago and never wrote a review, so I couldn't quite remember what I thought. So I went ahead and tried carry out (they still aren't open for indoor service). I had a GREAT experience. My favorite thing about this place is the breadth of vegetarian options. At most Asian food locations, you cannot get sweet and sour tofu or orange tofu... they will only serve these items with meat. That's not the case here, however! Their tofu was well cooked and their ingredients were clearly very fresh. The broccoli with garlic sauce actually had spice to it which many other places claim but do not deliver on. The boba was also good. Even though they're perhaps a little pricey-er than other Asian food in the area, you pay for quality AND they also give generous portions. We were able to make two entrees last for 5 servings.

Also the owners are very kind and offer fantastic customer service.

We ordered the Dan Dan noodles and the Sichuan Tofu Hot Pot. Our dishes were amazing. Flavored throughout with that unique spicy-pungent Sichuan chili pepper and an abundance of garlic and magic, I highly recommend awakening your tastebuds at the Sichuan Chinese Restaurant in Uptown Normal. The service was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be coming back!

Updated: They no longer have dine-in. This is still my favorite Asian place in town. My go to is the Pad Thai, but I've loved their food overall. It's definitely the most authentic in the area. I love he spiciness and flavor.

Everything we get here is great. They use fresh vegetables which really makes a difference. Best Chinese food in town.

So delicious! Our first time visiting a hot pot restaurant and we were more than impressed! The meat, mushrooms and vegetables were all excellent quality and very tasty.

Very authentic food and delicious!! Loved the Spicy beef and the dumplings in peanut sauce
