“ - Cold Sesame Noodles - Ma Po Tofu - Water-cooked Fish - Crispy Chicken - Beef - Cold Potato Appetizer - Water spinach with garlic Overall: -I think this place is Michelin Guide, super delicious! The boiled fish was tender and flavorful, and the beef was well-balanced with slightly sweet, salty, and fresh flavors, as well as a soft texture. - Last but not least, the Mapo Tofu is a classic dish. I think it's one of my favorite Szechuan dishes (potato water spinach is also hard to mess up.) The service is superb, Canto Sf's food is elite, but there are some Sichuan gems, too The environment is a bit small, but very cozy and welcoming ”

“ We were in the mood for Chinese food and found Sichuan with the help of Yelp. We were also intrigued by the Michelin ratings. We loved the service as they were very accommodating to my wife's vegetarian and seafood allergy. Our favorite dishes were the Chinese Broccoli, the Pumpkin Sesame Cakes and Spicy Eggplant. We look forward to returning:) ”

“ Excellent and food coma inducing dinner! Came here on a Saturday night with 2 others for dinner, enjoyed a TON of amazing food, and struggled to stay awake the rest of the night. It's a small interior so the wait could be short or long based on how many people are almost done eat vs willingness to stay and wait for a table. They told us 20 min and we were seated around 15-20 min. The food: - Cucumber in spicy garlic sauce: nice and refreshing. I'd honestly recommend getting these mid-meal. Perfect as palate cleansers between dishes - Chongqing Style Spicy Chicken: basically spicy popcorn chicken. Nothing to write home about, but you can bet they were enjoyable to eat! A good crowd pleaser. Would also recommend dipping the chicken into the sauce of other dishes to try new delicious combinations. - Dan Dan Noodles: the noodles were cooked well and the sauce and pork were tasty. Wish the noodles themselves had a bit more flavor, but it you eat them alongside drinking some broth, it's great. They were also super nice about bringing 3 smaller bowls and splitting the dish among us. - Eggplant with pork in garlic sauce: this was honestly my favorite dish. The eggplant was perfectly cooked and the sauce had SO MUCH flavor. I'd say this is a must-get - Spicy Fish & Beer and Chinese Herb Spice: this was actually 2 dishes, the fish and the beef dishes. When my friend asked which they preferred, the waiter mentioned that we could get both combined. I'm glad we listened to them. My preference was the beef, but both were so good- flavorful, spicy, and tender. This is definitely a must-try dish. And the sauce worked very well with the fried chicken! - Salt & Pepper calamari: not the calamari you're used to, but super good nonetheless. The calamari was nice and tender while the breading had a great crunch. Topped with salt, pepper, and garlic! Enjoyed eating by itself, but also dipping into other sauces! Portions here are fairly big so come with an appetite. And I'd highly recommend going with a few people (not too big of a group given restaurant size) so you can try more items family style. We got 1 appetizers and 5 entrees (maybe 6 since the fish and meat were combined) and left with a decent amount of leftovers (which they packed for us) and incredibly full. Will definitely return. Might also order them via delivery if I can! ”

“ Craving for some Sichuan food and decided to make a trip to Richmond to try this place out. Sichuan home was mentioned in the Michelin guide from 2013-2017 so was pretty excited and had high expectations for the food. THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!! There was only one server running the dinning area but seems like she got everything under control. Serving the tables and taking care of the Togo orders and didn't seem a bit overwhelmed. She also took the time to ask our spice tolerance and offer to make the dishes we ordered less spicy if we wished. Food was authentic and the Sichuan flavor is very in your face. At the end of the meal, my partner and I were sweating but can't stop because it's so addicting. Our favorite was the green peppercorn fish soup (recommended by the server, as the restaurant is known for their Sichuan fish). The fish is tender and packed with flavors that's somewhat refreshing and not too greasy. Definitely will come back again next time to tryout other dishes that seem interesting! ”

“ Not for the faint of heart! The dishes here are - true to Sichuan cuisine - spicy AF. Even the complimentary pickles were spicy! They do have some non-spicy dishes available, so for those looking not to upset their stomach, that is an option (then again, why go to a Sichuan place in the first place?!?). Spicy dishes ordered: preserved egg and tofu, potato noodles, and the spicy fish herb soup. Non-spicy dishes ordered: jellyfish, chow mein, and the dungeness crab with pumpkin. We received excellent service and food recommendations from our waitress, and they even stored the birthday cake for us and provided plating and utensils at no additional fee (we made sure to tip well). Looking to spice things up? Go check out Sichaun Home. ”

“ Rain had subsided. Mid May. We finished hiking and back from Tennessee Valley. Feeling peckish. I announced I wanted a sandwich and my BFF and hiking buddy said he was not hungry. I love Lou's so off we went to Geary. I stumbled onto this Chinese restaurant a few doors down. Never heard of it but I wanted something warm all of the sudden. Sichuan organ meats in hot chili oil to the rescue on a cold day. The Chinese word for this dish is Mao Xue Wong. Honestly the best I have had inside and outside of China. Superb dish. Excellent for impressing your Chinese friends with. Authentic. Fried intestines is a guilty pleasure of mine. I ate quite a bit of that. Also super Chinese and something I would order all over again. For the whitie friends in your circle - pot stickers and kung pao chicken are decidedly Americanized. This restaurant is small and unnoticeable from outside but a real gem. Best I had since I was in Shanghai for work recently and dined at a fancy Sichuan restaurant on our campus. I would definitely be back with my family and friends. ”

“ The soup dumplings, the Sichuan Dan Dan noodles and the fried beef was superb! The service here is so good.. our server, she was so funny and attentive and she took our experience a notch higher. We also got a few hot sakes and wine. Everything here was so good! We had such a good time even though this was a dinner with my boss haha! I can't recommend this place enough. This is a big gourmand btw! Come here if you're in SF and love Chinese food. ”

“ Date: Monday, February 26th, 2024 Meal: Dinner Delivery Party of: 2 Time Ordered: around 7:30pm Time Delivered: around 8:15pm How: DoorDash (DD) Delivered To: Outer Richmond 6. Cucumber in spicy Garlic Sauce 蒜蓉黄瓜 ($12.95) 39. Chongqing Style Spicy Chicken 重庆辣子鸡 - Boneless 无骨 ($18.95) 25. Spicy Fish and Chinese Herb Spice 香水鱼 ($30.95) 114. Pot Sticker (6 Pieces) 锅贴 ($10.95) For some reason I was craving fish. Specifically fish cooked in chili oil. I'm more of a Canto Chinese food girl, but sometimes food in chili oil seems super comforting. Looking around DD, I found Sichuan Home. The hubby doesn't really eat Szechuan food, so he just randomly picked the fried chicken. I typically find this dish more breading than chicken, so I don't normally care for it. This one wasn't any different. Lots of peppers tho, which was nice since I like spicy. The cucumber salad was good. Garlicky and flavorful. Tho I like mine with heat, so I added more hot chili oil. The fish dish was huge! Not that I wasn't expecting it to be at $31, but it came in three large soup containers. The fish itself was nice and moist. I do wish restaurants served this is smaller portions since I can never finish a whole one. I still have 2/3 of it sitting in my fridge. Lol! Great spot to fulfill my sichuan boiled fish cravings. ”

“ This is a great Sichuan spot! The fish stew was the major highlight for me, the broth was so flavorful and the fish was extremely fresh and tasty. A must get. The chongqing spicy chicken was alright, though it wasn't as crispy as I thought it'd be. The string beans were great and flavorful. And the onion pancakes were a good side, tho I might try a different dim sum item next time. The service was great and prices were reasonable for the quality of the food! ”

“ Merry Christmas everyone. Thanks for being open and seating us without reservations! Quality/Quantity - Salted Fish & Chicken Fried Rice - My daughter thought this was too salty, but everyone else liked the flavor. It was a little oily though. #87. Honey Walnut Prawn - Good, but as usual, we would have preferred more prawns #108. Tofu and Broccoli in Brown Sauce - This was a hit with my family. The tofu was tender and the broccoli was steamed well. Crispy and fresh. #132. Beef Chow Fun - Staple item and one of my daughter's favorites. The bean sprouts were a little too generous. Not perfectly proportioned. See picture. #126. Sichuan Style Rice Cake and Brown Sugar - Dessert. Looked way better than it tasted. My daughter said tomorrow she will make this for us at home! Atmosphere - Small local restaurant. The bathroom is in the back through the kitchen, thanks for making this public! I don't understand why and how some full service restaurants do NOT let us use their bathrooms. At minimum, they should offer hand washing stations. Open 7 days a week from 11am to 10pm. Street parking but free today as it was Christmas. Service - 5 stars; the owner was also the waitress. Aggressive with her suggestive selling, but not in a negative way. Suggesting the pork shoulder and crab today, their specials. Huge team working today. Approximately 2-3 people worked the front of the house, and 10 people in the back of the house. Price - $78 + generous tip. Cash discount, but we chose to pay by credit card. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2011. See you next time. ”
