🌶️ Charlotte NC | Sichuan Palace – Disappointing Sichuan Food Alert

Visited Sichuan Palace during spring break after seeing Xiaohongshu recommendations—but it didn’t live up to the hype 😕. This Chengdu-style restaurant tones down flavors for Western palates, but as someone craving authentic Sichuan spice, it was a letdown. Portions are tiny for ~$20 per dish—totally not worth the price! 📝 Dish Ratings (5/5 = Perfect) Spicy Blood Curd (Maoxuewang): 2/5 – Few ingredients, no aroma at all 🩸. Boiled Fish with Pickled Cabbage: 3/5 – Fish, tofu, and vermicelli, but weak pickled cabbage flavor 🐟. Saliva Chicken: 4/5 – The only winner! Well-seasoned and flavorful 🐔. Three-Pepper Lamb Stir-Fry: 3/5 – Lamb had no distinct taste, chewy texture. Coated in starch (made me doubt the quality) 🐑. Cold Jelly Noodles: Just jelly + Laoganma sauce—nothing special 🥢. Dry Pot Ribs: 0/5 – BIG MISS! Tiny portion, tasteless—avoid at all costs 🥩. 🚗 Big Regret for No-Car Travelers It’s super far from downtown. We took a taxi specifically for this spot and regretted it deeply. Save your time and money if transportation is a hassle—no need to make a special trip! Overall, it’s passable, but not worth the hype. Hoping this review helps you avoid disappointment! #CharlotteEats #SichuanFood #CharlotteNC #FoodieReview #StudyAbroadLife #ChineseFood #DisappointingDining
