Da Sichuan Bistro - Palo Alto

I have been told by my sister from Korea that if you walk into a restaurant that serves ethnic food and people of that same ethnicity are eating there you know it's good. The moment I walked in and heard every patron and employee speaking a beautiful language that I had no idea what it was I knew this food was going to be good. And it was! <br/ <br/ My mom and I tried the potstickers (which were HUGE! along with the fried rice, orange chicken and lemon chicken. Typically fried rice can feel greasy but this one didn't and it had way more vegetables in it than any other veggie fried rice. My mom couldn't get enough of the lemon chicken and I loved the orange chicken. <br/ <br/ As I looked around I saw that many large groups were there and they ordered several dishes, eating it family style. One of the tables even had a lazy Susan to help make sharing easier. So this place is great for groups and family style dining. All the food we saw and smelt while eating there seemed amazing and I wish I could've tried it all! <br/ <br/ The negatives were just how tiny this restaurant is. I am on oxygen 24/7 right now and it was hard trying to walk through the place with it. The other negatives is that refills are not free since the sodas come in a can. However the staff is so friendly and willing to help in any way they can, and I appreciate that. I will certainly be back, next time with more of my family.

Classic szechuan cooking. One of the very free Chinese places I enjoy eating at. The food is very tasty. We got the set hot pot and the tofu on a bed of chilies. If you love authentic spicy Chinese cooking you are going to love this place

Simply, spicy, authentic. Quiet venue, friendly staff, if you like trading jokes with the owners and laughing while being served savory food. Delicious Tan Tan Noodles and the best egg drop soup that I had in the Bay.

I was in town for an appointment at the VA Hospital. I ordered their green onion beef and beef fried rice to go. It was delicious. Reminds me of the Chinese food I used to get on the East Coast. The lady who waited on me was actually very nice and accommodating. I wish I spoke her first language.

Been here several times. This time, each dish was especially flavorful and every disk tasted distinct. Family owned business run for many years. Highly recommended
