Szechuan Tasty House

Whenever we're in Denver, we make a point of eating here. My wife is from Sichuan and is herself a very good cook and she loves this place and the people. We both had specials that were on the menu but don't show up online. My wife had fish and beef slices in sauce and I had spicy crispy chicken. We were both delighted with our choices. The dining area is *so* not fancy but it is also like *so* many little eating places in Chengdu. Longing to visit Chengdu? Forego the 6300 NM flight and visit this place instead!

This is the most authentic Szechuan food in Denver metro. They are so authentic, if you know Chinese you can write your own menu selection and the kitchen will cook them! Their best dishes includes Fishes in Chilly Oil 水煮魚, Chongqing Spicy Chicken 重慶辣子雞. Everything is very tasty there and the cook came from Tianjing, China and had had her Szechuan Restaurants in China for more than 20 years.

Holy smokes this is the best Chinese hole in the wall place I've been to. Better than Chinese food you can get in Denver for the same price I swear. My parents have been in Denver for a while too and haven't had a place that hits as close to home as this place. Make sure to order food that Chinese people actually eat and not the typical American Chinese stuff to get your full value's worth. I would recommend trying out the eggplant chicken, popped chicken (not sure English name), green onion beef (also not sure correct name), and boiled fish (mala dish). We've been here twice already and ordered the same things because they taste good. Don't look down on their serving utensils. They use single-use stuff like paper plates, but they give you an ENTIRE water bottle for free! So you can guarantee that the stuff they're serving your food on is cheap and clean at least unlike many other restaurants... Finally, if they're NOT busy, I'd make sure to either take out or order in ahead unless you're fine with waiting ~45 mins because most dishes are made to order and not the same formulas of each other. I believe there's only 1-2 chefs in the kitchen that do all the work since it's family run so they need time to cook.

This place has the best food ever. Home cooked. Delicious. Fresh. It's a hole in the wall so there's really no ambience, but who cares? The food is so worth going. I always recommend everyone visit if they want authentic delicious Szechuan food. The staff are great too. 10/5 support local businesses and give it a chance. Get the green beans. Get the eggplant. Try everything.

My mouth is watering as I write this review 😂 if you are looking for authentic, szechuan food in Denver, this is your go-to. Sure, the ambience may not be what some may expect but it is an ambience nevertheless! The cook hums in the kitchen, you can hear the sizzling sounds of cooking, the food arrives piping hot. And the food itself is excellent! We've dined in once and taken food out several times. I won't recommend this spot for a date night or family time or anything of that sort if you have set ideas on setting and ambience but the food is one of the best in Denver. We always get the fish in chilli oil, eggplant with basil, cabbage with garlic, mapo tofu! We eat a lot 😂 the service used to be a bit grouchy but this time was very polite! If you are looking for delicious, out of the ordinary, this is a must try!
