Reviews for Ancient Szechuan in El Cerrito, CA

Good lunch specials, authentic Szechuan food. But all staff goes to lunch at 230 pm, so strange for a restaurant!!!!

Good flavors, and good value overall. It's a very authentic taste, and it was recommended to me by a friend with whom I've only... ever spoken in Mandarin. Be prepared, though -- even the bathrooms are authentic (I.e. gross). Read more

Good local spot. Has all the classic favorites. I highly recommend the garlic string beans.

One of the best and authentic Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area. A large selection of high-quality dishes, including some hard... to be found elsewhere, such as Blueberry yam and pork shoulders. Service is also good. Easy parking. Beware tho, some of thedishes can be spicy, as the name of the restaurant suggests. Read more

My mother is from Szechuan. When she says this is one of the best cooking in the area, I know this is a must go for spicy... lovers. Their portion size is good. I can't eat hot/spicy so they custom made a couple dishes for me as well! Read more
