Chinese Szechuan Restaurant

This is the best Chinese American* food I've ever had, hands down, no contest. Every dish is cooked fresh to order and you can taste the love and passion in every bite. The quality is unmatched: crispy, perfectly fried entrees and flavors that truly stand out. While the price might seem high at first, the portions are incredibly generous and the protein-to-price ratio is simply unbeatable. I've had the kung pao chicken and orange chicken last me for four meals before! So when is it a good time to eat here? Lunch service comes with smaller entrees, but includes a choice of fried, brown, or white rice, plus spring rolls. At dinner, the entrees are enormous and we've frequently been treated to free crab rangoons and spring rolls! But trust me: dining in is the way to go. There’s always plenty of seating, and the experience of having your food fried just minutes before it reaches your table is unforgettable. Is it worth eating in? Because nothing beats the freshness. That freshly fried crunch for their orange chicken or honey walnut prawns, which disappears within minutes, is on an entirely different level and something I haven't tasted anywhere else. Everything on the menu is fantastic, but the honey walnut prawnsa re truly to die for. My go-to order is the jiajiang mien (5th picture, the black bean paste with noodles), honey walnut prawns (3rd picture), and kung pao chicken. The fried rice with chicken is also a great safe option and the Chinese chicken salad is a great option for someone more calorie conscious. This restaurant is a hidden gem in Pleasanton and it would be a tragedy to lose it! They deserve our support, so come out and try it while you still can! * Note that I say it's Chinese American. While the name seems to suggest Sichuan food, the items on the menu are closer to Panda Express than what you'd see at a Hai Di Lao or Din Tai Fung. I haven't seen a single Szechuan pepper in any of the food 😅, but who cares, the food tastes incredible and that's what really matters!

What a wonderful find!! Thanks Reddit for leading me here on a whim while searching for good JJM's in bay area. Ok, it was so good, like when u watch ppl in kdrama slurp down their JJM and u thinking that looks absolutely delicious, well it was that!!! There's alot of ingredients in the saucy bowl, a generous amount of protein mixed in with crunchiness of onions, great balance of flavors. Yummm Portion is big, had to take leftovers to go. Staff is friendly and sociable, restroom super clean. Lol I will be back to try their other dishes for sure! Thanks! *They have been around since 1987 😱💪

Best Chinese food I’ve ever had. The nicest servers ever. It’s the only thing I miss about moving away from Pleasanton. House Special Beef, Black Bean Fish and Barbecue Pork appetizer are not to miss!

Pick up order/$90.00. Was ready in 20min. Staff very friendly. Inside seemed cozy and nice. Moo shu pork - bland; tortillas were.. different, no hoisin/plum sauce included which made the whole dish disappointing. Orange chicken - could have been any other dish/no orange flavor at all. Very soft. Fried wontons & chicken chow Mein standard. Egg rolls good (more spring rolls vs egg rolls tho) Pork fried rice - decent but also on the softer side. Good portion.

Really disappointed with my takeout order from this place. To begin with they got the order wrong, and the food was bland and underwhelming. For the price, I expected much better quality. Definitely won’t be coming back.

On a whim, we stopped for dinner. Friendly, clean, beef and vegetables stir fry was good (little salty), chicken was good. Satisfied!

My family has gone here for years. It's our favorite around, and the staff is the best!
