"This is hands down some of the best food I've had in the whole triangle area. I've been craving authentic Chinese food and Chuan Cafe would hold up against what I have back in the DMV area. It's even worth driving 45 min from Durham. The place is located in the absolute middle of nowhere, but the restaurant itself is cute and generally pretty empty. It seems to be family owned and the server was very sweet. Don't expect 5 star table service lol. It's bare bones in that sense, but you're really here for the food.Szechuan cuisine is known for its spice, so expect chilis and chili oil in most dishes. The Bamboo Flounder Fish is an absolute MUST! It's one of my favorites so I was so excited to see it on the menu. It doesn't stay crisp when you order to-go, unsurprisingly, so dine in to get it fresh. I also highly recommend the Steamed Chicken Slices in Chili Oil, which is a cold appetizer. I've tried the Toothpick Lamb, Double Cooked Pork Belly, Mapo Tofu, and Green Beans (a classic . Sometimes the dishes lean a little salty and the mapo tofu was not my favorite iteration of the dish, but I've been really impressed as a whole. I think if you order more typical American Chinese dishes (egg roll, dumplings, fried rice, chow mein, orange chicken you will be sorely disappointed.There's not a whole lot of authentic Chinese food in North Carolina, so I highly recommend trying something new when you come! There's still so many more things on the menu I've been eyeing, so I'm gonna continue making the trek to come here :"

This is the real deal for Sichuan Chinese in Raleigh. Every meal has been great and they are super friendly. It's also legitimately spicy. If you ask for it hot, it will be ????.

Probably the most authentic Szechuan food I've had. This includes places in New York and Philadelphia. The owner is super friendly and offers great service. If you want a TRUE taste of Szechuan, China, you MUST try this place.

The world?s most bland lo mein. Literally not one ounce of flavor. Oily noodles and dry flavorless beef. And the gyoza were tasty (not made in house) but an order is only 4 dumplings for $7. Jokes on me for not paying attention to that part.

We got take out from here tonight. We got sesame chicken, generalTso’s chicken, eggplant, and scallion pancakes. It may be the worst chicken I have ever had. Tough, chewy, fried nuggets that clearly used poor quality meat. The eggplant is in a greasy oily sauce. Very disappointed and spent more than $100! Go elsewhere. Visualizza piatti

Portions are extremely small the Creamy Custard Bun are not even steamed and the custard its not even Custer its like a cookie you bite into. its not smooth like a custard should be and the Dan Dan Noodles portions again is super small as well as the Scallion Pancake. Pretty disappointed especially for price.  I give a 2 star review only because the Dan Dan Noodles taste okay.

Its hard to find good Chinese food that makes it authentic way while travel to unfamiliar places. Ive tried beef noodle soup and Mapo Tofu and its very good. Love the Szechuan Chili Wontons (6 , they use thin wonton wrapper which is more authentic than other restaurants that Ive tried (sauce nit so much . I have sensitive stomach and this is the only chinese restaurants that doesnt give me aches after. Thank you for the clean and yummy food :

I love this place and can?t compliment it enough! If you love authentic Sichuan cuisine then this is the place for you. Not a single complaint about anything I had. The fries were divine and I LOVE the spicy wontons. The green beans are insanely good. There really is nothing I didn?t enjoy. Do yourself a favor and try them out. The pricing of menu items is fair and reasonable. The location is a little odd (wouldn?t expect such a gem there) but had plenty of parking. I?ve Visualizza piatti

I love this place! I've probably ordered delivery from here at least 5 times over the past month. The bamboo flounder fish is definitely my favorite! The toothpick lamb is so flavorful and tender and fun to eat! The fish with hot pepper scared me at first...I'm no stranger to Szechuan food but this had a different type of burn I've never experienced before.. After eating it for a few minutes I decided I really liked it and the leftovers were excellent heated up! The spicy

We ordered delivery from this restaurant. We were very pleased with the quality of the food and the rapid delivery. We ordered Kung Pao Chicken, Stir Fry Chicken and Mushrooms, Vegetable Fried Rice, and Pork Buns. There was a large portion of chicken as well as mushrooms in the Chicken and Mushroom stir fry. The food was tasty and well seasoned. The portion size was large enough to have plenty of leftovers for tomorrow. We have been looking for a go-to Chinese food restaurant. I think we have found it!

"Even though this restaurant is an hour away from our home, it 's been our special occasion go to restaurant for years. We 've brought our parents here and purchased gift cards for our friends. I love the selection of creative vegan entrees, relaxed art house atmosphere, and live music. We 've always received friendly service and enjoyed our food in the past. This evening, for the first time in my life (at any restaurant), I sent back an entree. I was nearly in tears because I feel so guilty about wasting food. The replacement dish I received was even worse--what was advertised as pad thai turned out to be mushy noodles drenched in what tasted like rice vinegar, hastily topped with carrots and green beans. My husband tasted it and his face said it all. His words were borderline inedible. We were disappointed with the food, but we understand that on a busy Saturday night, mishaps with food can occur. Between us we have 30 years ' experience working in restaurants and have been confronted with many situations like this ourselves. What happened next turned our disappointment to anger: a manager came to our table with check in hand, apologized coldly, and seemed to think that comping the two meals I couldn 't eat had been a magnanimous gesture. She did offer us dessert, which I guess was a nice thought but not a substitution for dinner. I 'm giving a second star because my husband said his short ribs were very good, as was the appetizer. All said, we 're out $70 and I still haven 't had dinner. Side note: we advise purchasing bottled options if you 're a beer drinker. My husband is a professional brewer by trade and every draft beer from here has been flat and displayed off flavors. He knows what these beers are supposed to taste like, and it seems to be an issue with the draft system. Also, our entrees appeared about 5 minutes after we ordered them, which doesn 't seem like enough time for making things to order. Since writing this, it 's come to our attention that these changes are likely due to new ownership of the restaurant. The lack of hospitality combined with the lower quality food is sure to alienate their most loyal patrons, including us."
