Sichuanese Cuisine — Restaurant in Seattle

Worst Chinese food I’ve ever had. I am not a picky eater, but I couldn’t bring myself to eat more than a few bites. I ordered via Uber Eats, and tracked as my food was quickly delivered, but that was where the good experience stopped. I had my hotel name on the delivery and specifically asked for cutlery and chopsticks. I got nothing. Not even a napkin was included, so I had to go to the hotel lounge to get a set. Coming back to open my food, I found the entree container not even half full. What I had expected would be enough food for dinner and tomorrow’s lunch was barely a single serving. The Family Style chicken was NOT spicy at all, even though the sauce was nothing more than oil, crushed red pepper, and minced garlic. Oh, and an obvious lump of chili paste right in the middle of the food, not even mixed in. Taking a bite of chicken, it was obviously boiled, as it hadn’t absorbed any flavor from the “sauce” at all. I tried the noodles only to discover that they’d gotten the same “sauce” treatment, with somehow even more oil and pepper and garlic. I tried a steamed dumpling, and was again disappointed. The dough managed to be both still doughy and also mushy and overcooked and the filling, which was supposed to be pork, was a tasteless beige paste. I never throw out food...I’m a pretty adventurous cook and will generally save leftovers of even my misadventures for lunch, but this went straight to the wastebasket without a second thought. I should have listened to my gut when I noticed that the only vegetable they have in any of their descriptions is cabbage.... no green peppers, carrots, onions, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, snow peas, ginger... none of the things you expect to find in Chinese cooking—just the cheapest vegetable in the produce aisle... it goes to show what they think of their customers... they just overcharge for the cheapest thing they can throw into a wok with some sesame oil. Do yourself a favor, Reader... steer clear, because there is nothing either “Szechuan” OR “Cuisine”...

Overall Rating - 8/10 🍜Food - 8/10 The food is all very good, nothing life changing, but very solid and good. I can’t think of anything bad to say about the food. I have been coming here for a long time and there are a few things specific I would come for, the Dan Dan Noodles and the Pepper Chicken or Tofu. The sesame chicken is also quite good as the pieces are smaller so you don’t have to deal with these giant pieces, I personally love the smaller pieces. 👩‍🦼‍➡️Accessibility 8/10 It is quite accessible, the restaurant is all ground level, there is a curb to get up to the restaurant but I think there is a ramp. The parking is also right in front. There is no loud music so it is quite calm, there is some yelling from the kitchen but that is all quite normal lol. 🧑‍🍳Service 9/10 The service is fantastic, the food comes out instantly. The staff is very kind and attentive. 🍽️Ambiance 7/10 As mentioned above there is no music so it is a little quiet, it may be awkward for some but personally it is fine. 🚗Parking 8/10 There is parking right in front, it is a little tight, but right it free and right in front so it is worth it. 💵Price 8/10 Very...

So I used to go to the place a lot. Today we had four people to eat here. We had five dishes with the smallest plates, very little portion. I looked around other tables and they all had bigger plates than ours. I was thinking that they might run out of the bigger plates. The Mongolian chicken only had 14 pieces of small chicken meat. The string bean dish had 16 pieces of string beans. Every dish had the smallest portion with no flavor at all. The place is awful now and the kitchen and bathroom are very dirty. So be careful eating there and make sure that they don’t give you left over food from other customers. It seemed that some of our dish was from leftovers because they didn’t look like fresh cooked. The Mongolian chicken tasted really sweet and I guess they used more sugar than salt. Very disappointed. I will never go to this awful place. The waitress was rude too. Also the salt and pepper shrimp dish only had 10 pierces of shrimp and I used to order this dish a lot, at least 15 pierces of shrimp. They definitely cut down the portion. They used to use big round plates, now skinny oval shapes plates. Don’t waste your money...
