Chuan Xiang Spicy Cuisine 川湘阁

Top notch Szechuan/Hunan restaurant in the Bay Area. A nice balance among food quality, good portion and reasonable price. We tried tea smoke duck, 毛血旺, and 皮蛋豆腐, all very tasty. The atmosphere/ decoration is a big plus.

Chuan Xiang Ge Sichuan Restaurant really surprised me in the best way! The dishes are super flavorful and authentically spicy, with very generous portions—especially the boiled fish and spicy fried chicken, both are addictive. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the food comes out quickly. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable, you can eat a lot without spending much. I’ll definitely come back again!

We ordered Li’s Watermelon Soup with Lamb, Stir-Fried Pork, and Beef Tripe in Chili. The soup was the highlight — perfectly seasoned, generous with lamb, and even included goji berries. The other two dishes were quite good as well. Service was excellent; the staff were warm and welcoming. The restaurant itself is bright, clean, and inviting.
