Nut allergy friendly: They have options on the ordering app to highlight a nut allergy. Some dishes do have nuts, so I'd highlight this with the staff. Time to Food: 12 minutes (crispy chicken) to 35 minutes (squid and green beans) We arrived with a party of five around 1PM and there was plenty of seating. Order through an app pretty easily. For five people, we ordered and had a decent amount of leftovers: Sichuan Spicy Crispy Chicken (4.5/5): Extremely crispy yet not too battered. They nailed the texture and meat to breading ratio. A hint of ginger threw me off for a bit, but it was delicious. Lamb Dry Pot (5/5): Awesome blend of meat and vegetables. We loved the lotus root and cauliflower here. I'd come back and order this any day. Twice Cooked Pork Belly (5/5): A classic Sichuan dish executed very well with perfectly tender pork and leeks. Sizzling Squid (4.5/5): We were expecting something different and this was a bit too saucy for me, but the texture was fantastic and the squid was cooked well! Dry-Fried Green Beans (4/5): Flavors were there but the green beans were a tad too soggy, like they got steamed a bit. X's Kitchen / Tasty Sichuan is comparable to Mala in many ways, such as having leeks in the twice cooked pork, but they do dishes in a different style. I look forward to returning!

Very authentic sichuan hot & spicy food - tastes almost identical as China! Can tell it is not preserved as some other restaurants but cooked fresh - some cooking process is very time consuming and doesn’t add a whole lot premium to the menu but nonetheless the chef sticks to the traditional way of cooking and it is much rewarded in the taste!!!

This restaurant has quickly become my recent favorite. What sets it apart is not just the delicious food but also the exceptional service. The waitresses are incredibly attentive and caring. They always remind my husband and me if we've ordered more than we can finish, ensuring that we can enjoy fresh dishes every time we eat.One detail I particularly appreciate is how the waitress always remembers our preferences, ensuring that my dish is placed in front of me and my husband's in front of him. The food itself is outstanding, with flavors that truly open up your appetite. Every dish is so well-prepared and flavorful that it makes you want to eat more rice just to savor the delicious sauces and ingredients. The combination of excellent service and mouth-watering food keeps us coming back for more. It's a dining experience that feels personal and satisfying every time.

Great service and lots of dishes to choose from! Got the crispy spicy chicken and Yangzhou fried rice which had delicious pork bits. Big portions of each and good flavor! Chef was kind enough to put less Sichuan peppers in the chicken for us
