OC Irvine｜Finally, A Great Chinese Spot in Irvine! 🌶️🐸

Finding authentic, satisfying Chinese food in Irvine can be tough—but this Sichuan place truly delivered! The space is clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed, making the meal even more enjoyable. 🐸 Perilla Dry Pot Frog – My must-order! Tender, fresh frog stir-fried with aromatic perilla. Spicy, fragrant, and utterly delicious. 🐇 Zigong Ginger Rabbit – Rare to find rabbit in OC—and it’s done right! Tender, well-seasoned, with no gaminess. So flavorful! 🐟 Alley-Style Pickled Fish Soup – Huge portion for just ~$30! Loaded with thick, bouncy fish slices and vermicelli. Savory, tangy, and satisfying. 🥩 Fu Qi Fei Pian (Couple’s Beef Tripe) – An unexpected standout. The chili oil and Sichuan pepper blend was fragrant, numbing, and addictive. 🍧 Chengdu Ice Jelly – Classic finish with fruit, raisins, and brown sugar syrup. Cooled everything down perfectly. A rare Irvine gem where bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and fair prices come together. Will be back! 😋 Kuan Zhai Alley 8691 Irvine Center Dr, Irvine, CA 92618 #IrvineEats #SichuanFood #ChineseCuisine #SpicyFood #OCFoodie #IrvineFood #WorthTheDrive #FoodieFind
