Szechuan Gourmet 川味坊 — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Just had such a wonderful dinner at this cozy Sichuan restaurant! We ordered the Wanzhou Grilled Fish and Pork Belly with Garlic Sauce — both were absolutely delicious and really hit the spot. The fish was super fresh, and the side ingredients were so flavorful. I especially loved the potato strips and black fungus — they soaked up all that rich, savory broth and were just amazing.

The pork belly was also fantastic — tender, flavorful, and packed with that bold, garlicky taste I love. You can really tell they use quality ingredients.

What really made the experience special was the lady boss. She was so warm and thoughtful. At first, we wanted the garlic-flavored grilled fish, but sadly it was sold out. She noticed we probably can’t handle too much spice and kindly suggested the savory sauce version instead — and honestly, it was the perfect match for our taste. Felt like she really cared.

This place has such a welcoming vibe — great food, lovely people, and an overall heartwarming experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to all my friends. Can’t wait for...

Then I ask to be seated she said oh this is not a Chinese America Restaurant, I knew that already! So we just left after that. I'm a food vlogger I like to make videos of food I try and share with people. This is a shame! I really wanted to try their food. I'll just go to another Szechuan Restaurant. I'm not sure if she acted like that because we were black but this...

I can approve that the taste of Sichuan is very authentic here. The spicy and aroma definitely match up. I love this place, and the only reason why I dropped a star is due to the things that have sold out. Attempted to order a fish and a couple of items on the menu, but they were sold out. I recommend getting the tofu on the hot plate. I never had tofu like that before, and it didn't disappoint me. My other recommendation for this place is to look at the menu ahead of time and call in to reverse certain things like seafood, fish, or roasted meat/sausage so it wouldn't be sold out when you...
