Taste of Sichuan is a great Asian restaurant in Madison, especially if you enjoy bold, spicy flavors. They offer a wide range of vegetarian options, many of which are well-suited to Asian taste buds. The food is flavorful and satisfying, making it a solid choice for anyone craving authentic Sichuan-style dishes. I’ve visited the place twice and both times I went with a large group. They easily accommodated us with big tables, and I didn’t even need to make a reservation. So it’s a good option for group dining as well. Overall, highly recommended for those looking for a spicy and authentic Asian food experience in Madison.

I ordered the shrimp fried rice and it barely resembled the photo outside the restaurant. The shrimp on the photo were large and looked stir-fried. The shrimp I got were pale, small and tasteless- they looked like thaw and eat shrimp. The fried rice had a lot of chopped vegetables in it and scrambled egg, neither of which were in the photo. My wife liked her sesame chicken, though I found it to be tough. We won't go back.

Welcoming place. It faces a busy street and doesn't have a parking lot; I found curbside parking behind the establishment on one of the side streets nearby. I enjoyed my dish and thought it had a very authentic taste and preparation (reminiscent of spicy Hunan cuisine). The owner is helpful and explains English/Chinese translations of the dishes. Most dishes besides appetizers are $10 and up but they offer large portions for the price. Will come again!

So good and authentic! Highly recommend this place. It is spicy, but in a good way!
