Sichuan Taste Chinese - Jennings Lodge

Incredible authentic Chinese food and excellent service. We had the black fungus appetizer, crispy fish, pork in garlic sauce, and cabbage with pork. All excellent.

Great food and service. Egg roll was excellent. Kung Pao Chicken was spicy!!! Only issue was all the homeless people hanging around outside, but Portland PD chased them off while we were eating.

SO EXCITED TO TRY THIS PLACE!!! SERIOUSLY DISAPPOINTED Frozen potstickers for $8.99, really? Included a large helping of chili oil, but no soy and vinegar dipping sauce.Ordered a pork dish that was supposed to be spicy, Taco Bell Fire sauce is hotter. It had sliced green BELL pepper, but no carrots or onions. It also had bamboo shoot not Sichuan, but Cantonese and American ingredients. Was really greasy, too greasy for Sichuan. Is supposed to be slightly oily, but not totally greasy. Pork was sliced into baton, not shredded. Was sweet flavored and had more black pepper than any other seasoning. Small portion for 15.95. 24.95 for frozen potstickers and half way Sichuan food. Waitress was nice and food came quickly. BUT NOT SICHUAN FOOD. TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THE AMOUNT OF HOMELESS DRUGGIES I HAD TO WALK THROUGH TO GET IN THE DOOR. If you dont know this cuisine, it would be ok at best. If you have had this cuisine done correctly, you WILL be disappointed.

Pros service was quick and food came out pretty fast. We were the third table to be sat down. Nothing special about the service but they were quick.But quality of food was just okay. I'm Vietnamese and have grown up in the bay area eating both Vietnamese and Chinese food. I was really wanting to like this place but found myself so very disappointed.Mongolian beef wasn't spicy and they charged extra for rice. Not a big deal but the beef cuts were hefty and we did like how the onions were cooked. But it's missing green onions.Soup dumplings barely any soup in the dumplings. Not freshly packed at all. When we bit into it, it was more solid than tender.Szechuan chili wonton again, not spicy. Barely any flavor. My bf liked this dish.And also another con, although no fault of this restaurant, is the location of where it is. It's in an area right next to a liquor store so there was a crowd of solicitors out there making me feel a bit more alert.All in all maybe went in on a bad day. We love supporting our local restaurants. Not sure if I'd come back.

I ordered fried yellow beef $18.95) and bullfrog with pickled peppers $39.59) . No rice, only a pair of chopsticks. The amount of beef is okay, but not very tender. The bullfrog tastes spicy but the inside of the big piece is a bit fishy. 3.5/5
