Sichuan Fortune House - Pleasant Hill, California

Server was great, really hardworking. She was working alone, it was a quiet night, only 2 tables were filled though but really busy with pick-up. Food was great, and price was reasonable.

Went there on a Sunday around 6, and had to wait 1 hour just for the appetizers?! Only 1 person was working as a waitress and behind the counter. Not good service. The food is good. No fortune cookies, sadly. Also, there are no lights in the parking lot, so be careful. If you don't mind waiting what feels like forever for your food to arrive, then you might enjoy this place. 😐

This is the best Sichuan place in Bay Area. If you don't like hot and numbing sensation, stay away from their spicy/hot food, they use generous amount of Sichuan peppercorns. If you love authentic Sichuan food, this is the place to be. This is a family-run business, service can be slow. Boiled fish and crispy beef are my favorite go-to plates.

I've been coming to this place for the past decade and honestly food has been consistently great.

My cousin recommended this place so we went here for early dinner (6pm). The restaurant had limited parking spot and lots of take out customers came. The dining area was pretty big with lots of tables. However, there was only 2 ladies serving all the tables & the take out orders, so it took a while to catch their attention for ordering.

- Sichuan spicy crispy beef: delicious! The beef was super crispy yet the meat inside wasn’t tough. It was a tad sweet & very spicy. But we love it!
- Spicy shredded potato: good. Potato was soft yet still had some crunch. Not too salty & good amount of spice.
- Prawn with honey glazed walnut: super good! The prawn pieces were big & cooked perfectly. The honey glazed sauce was good - not too sweet & just enough sauce.

Taste wise, the food was delicious! However, my only complaint was the portion. They were quite small for the price. After the 3 adults finished the meal, we were still a bit hungry. We would come back to try other items when we are in the area.

Wanted to try this place for so long, and finally ordered take out to take to a friend's place. I was told the food would be ready in 20 min. Got there; no one at the front desk, not even half the tables full, one poor lady running around doing everything. I waited and waited, each time she'd say 'one second' and then take orders at one table, deliver food to other tables. I continued to wait for quite a while. I saw one takeout order just sitting on a table. This went on for quite a while. Finally a young man came out and assisted at the front desk (where was he before?). She finally went back to get the food, which took another while. Needless to say, when I finally got the order and got to my friend's house--a mile away--the food was not hot. I really wanted to like this place, and felt bad for the poor woman trying to do it all. But tbh, the food was OK, and with that kind of service, I'm afraid I won't be a repeat customer.

THIS IS THE BEST CHINESE FOOD OUTSIDE OF OAKLAND CHINATOWN. The only authentic Chinese restaurant east of the caldecott tunnel! Seriously, this place is good. On point flavors, solid portion sizes, and quality of ingredients are great - they always use fresh fish and veggies - they don't skimp on quality! Garlic garnishes are plentiful - its these little added touches that let you know the owners care about the quality of the food theyre serving. Service is great, the owners are friendly, the staff is always attentive, and the establishment is always kept pristine and clean. This truly is a hidden gem! It's located off the main-thoroughfare and not noticable from the street. Parking is super easy as they have their own private lot. If you're looking for authentic and delicious - go here. The fish in broth is next level. Ive been here many times and can definitively say this place is consistently fantastic!!!

Went here as a second choice after our first choice was closed. The food was better than how the place looked from the outside. Overall, the food was a solid 4. Service was very slow, and we were there much longer than we wanted or needed to be. Likely not going back.
