This place never seizes to impress my palette. Actually , let me go back on that. The first time I had tried it, I hadn't developed yet my obsession for Szechuan; and I wasn't really aware of how I felt. About a month after trying it, I had an odd craving for this delicious spice, and there was no going back. I now order once per month. My favorite are the Dan Dan noodles, and the Mapo Tofu. I also love the boiled fish, however, I've recently cut back on fish and I therefore skip that one. (The flavors are terrific and this place doesn't fail in delivering that flavor I now crave. The people who run this place are warm and welcoming ; and the ambiance is clean , casual, (yet slightly elegant ) ,and inviting. Of course I will continue to go back.
Simple interior, service is courteous and minimalistic, consistently amazing food. No fuss. Been there a few times, always eaten heartily and tummy full .
Another great visit at Yummy Szechuan. We had a quiet lunch here on Christmas Day. Easy parking on the street. The owner greeted us warmly. We ordered extremely pickled fish (with fresh cod), Dan Dan noodle, sour potato noodle (酸辣粉), braised tofu with black fungus and pea shoots, sizzling cumin lamb. Everything was perfect. We highly recommend substituting fresh cod in the fish dish, although the soup could be more sour for the extremely pickled fish dish.
Service was amazing here. Very attentive employees and very fast at getting you what you need!! Tea was refilled frequently, fast at responding to orders (rice, water, etc.). The Szechuan was spicy.. get ready for a food coma drowned in your own sweat. Amazing tastes and delicacies. Here is a picture of the couples special.. get it.
Visited Yummy Szechuan and was not disappointed. Cozy dining area and was busy for a Tuesday night. As always tried different dish that came out at various times. In all fairness I ordered dishes that I normally do not get. 1. Beijing Style Pot Stickers- I thought these were presented nicely but thought were a bit bland. 2. Dan Dan Noodles- I am not a big peanut flavor personally and thought this was a bit strong for me. Apart from that they tasted good. 3. Szechuan Turnip Cake - This I did not like as I thought I would be getting something that resembled traditional turnip cake. I found them sweet with coleslaw inside. 4. Ma Po Tofu - This was the best I ever had. Spice level was spot on and flavor was out of this world. I will for sure go back and try other dishes.
