First Szechuan Wok — Restaurant in Los Angeles

The website said it was Sichuan cuisine and 4 stars, so we went to this restaurant. I am a person who is very sensitive to smell. The restaurant is clean and tidy inside and the service staff is also very good, but the environment smells like a kitchen that is not cleaned properly, and the tabletop feels sticky. We ordered 2 pot stickers (6 pieces per serving for $13), one eggplant with fish flavor, one mapo tofu, and one kung pao chicken, and the total cost was almost $90. It is not a problem that it is expensive, but the problem is that I paid this price for bad food and tasteless food. The eggplant tasted not fresh and had a rotten taste, and the chicken in the kung pao chicken was too fishy, ​​and they did not remove the fishy smell first. And this kung pao chicken is not authentic Sichuan cuisine at all. As for the pot stickers, they are not handmade but bought from the store (not handmade and still sold at such a high price). Only three of the five dishes were edible and the best was the mapo tofu (even though there was no minced meat in it). This restaurant is expensive and not authentic Sichuan...

First Szechuan Wok is a hidden Westwood gem. I can't believe I passed by this location for several years before finally trying it.

A friend suggested we eat here, let's just say I will be going back many times. I happened to meet the owner and his wife who were happy to welcome me in. They have owned the place for 19 years, it is family run to this day.

The dinner started off with hot tea, we ordered a LOT of food here. All family style. Wonton soup, egg rolls, egg foo young, dumplings, noodles, baby bok choy with mushroom, and more. I really enjoyed everything and wouldn't be able to pick a favorite item. I ESPECIALLY love the bok choy and mushroom dish. Bok choy cooked just right and the mushrooms were delicious of course. The wonton soup was quite delicious with the hot chili oil and vinegar.. I love hot chili oil anywhere but this one was even more tasty than I remember at other places.

After all I didn't get a chance to eat the entire menu but got a great selection from here. I will definitely be back. They are really quite hospitable and the service and food were both...

The food was delicious as was the atmosphere. I went there on Christmas for dinner and there was a rush so the service was understandably slow. They took a while to get our soups because one wasn't prepared yet, understandable, but they could have told us what the hold up was before we asked like five times. They did end up giving us a lot of discounts which we appreciated but weren't demanding, we just were really hungry and they were taking very long with the meals. Eventually they brought the meals out as they were finished with them, instead of bringing them out all at once, so we were satisfied. The food quality was great, the service was great as well. I took a star off because I was really hungry and was getting zero information about my food for...
