After all the recommendations to try the Mongolian Beef, we were excited to try it! It had great flavor but an insane amount of onions. Maybe this is other people’s tastes but it was a surprising amount of onions and not enough beef for the price. The general tso’s was great! The chicken was still crispy even with a generous amount of sauce and the flavor was addicting. We also liked the cucumber salad, it was a nice fresh side to have with the heavier main dishes.
The interior was clean and very nicely lit up. We’ll be back!! We’re excited to try some more authentic/traditional dishes next time.

I thought this place was average. We got take out which seems like everyone does. The place was packed with people waiting for orders but not a lot dining in. The food lacked flavor in my opinion and the noodles were just ok. The sauces were quite watery which might have attributed to the flavor. We all mildly enjoyed their food and ate leftovers but it just wasn’t my favorite Chinese food that I have had. Not sure if it is better in the restaurant than the take out or maybe we just ordered the wrong stuff. The door dash drivers said they are always in there so the people must like it! Maybe we just went on an off day.

As an Asian and a big foodie, I can vouch that this is BEST SZECHUAN in the Triangle!!! Def more a hole in the wall vibe and admittedly not located in the best part of Raleigh but regardless, we like to go in to eat there so the food is as fresh as possible. The staff is very nice.
Our favorite go to dishes:
– Spicy Chongqing Chicken (it’s not actually that spicy)
– Dan Dan Noodles
– Bamboo Flounder Fish
– Twice Cooked Pork Belly
– Dry Fried String Beans
– Spicy Hot Pot
It’s delicious. You won’t be disappointed!

We regularly get take out from Chuans. Every time it’s amazing. Quality is definitely higher than your typical Chinese takeout spot. Best dishes imho: stir fried ho fun with beef, sea same chicken, chili wontons, hot and sour soup

This place is a gem. Food was incredible, they absolutely nailed the spice level on every dish, lots of heat but it never overpowers the rich flavors (or made me slow down eating). The fried eggplant and the flounder were immaculate, crisp, and melt in your mouth. I ate a lot, but left feeling great. Not too heavy on the stomach! All around a tremendous experience. We will be back very soon.

We tried CHUAN Cafe for the first time tonight & it was delicious!
We walked in and ordered our food to go. We waited about 10 minutes for our food.
It was piping hot, fresh and so so good!
We spent about $60 for two people.
We ordered the:
Pork Dumplings in chili oil 7/10 very small portion
Fried Green Beans 10/10
Fried flounder 20/10- Crispy, Spicy & unforgettable!
Mongolian Beef 8/10 not a lot of meat but flavor was spot on!
We’ll definitely go back.
We noticed they have a lunch special for about $10-$11.
The menu has something for everyone.
It is a hole in the wall but the inside was very neat and clean.
A little sketch at night, we noticed there were A LOT of to go orders.

Interesting experience, the food was very good although for chinese food, it was fairly expensive. When ordering takeout, I’ve gotten a ton of Chinese food for $50 bucks, but here it was just two entries, one drink, no fried rice, no appetizers, or any extras. The place is bare bones, but seemed clean and we got our food quick. We were the only people in the restaurant and one other table came in after us. It was early on a Saturday night. We were happy with the food which is most important.

We went to this place for lunch and it was great!! The service was prompt and the restaurant was nice and clean! I love Chinese food and I was looking for a Din Tai Fung (my comfort food) duplicate here in NC because that place is only on the West Coast and this place is pretty spot on! My absolute favorite is the wonton in chili oil and the steamed chicken slices are a close second. I would get everything again except for the Dan Dan noodles. They were okay, but not particularly my preference bc of the taste that remains in the back of my throat after eating it (from the oil/sauce) so I’ll try another one of their noodle dishes! Highly recommend this place and will be back!

The food – Unfortunately, it wasn’t great for me. The sauce on the General Tso chicken tasted like it was from a bottle and the fried rice was really bland. I did take my food to go so maybe that was the disconnect.
The service – The lady behind the register is a sweetheart. She’s honest, straightforward, and caring in her own way. If there’s any reason to go, it’s her.
The Atmosphere – Quaint location on the inside. Don’t judge it by the way it looks on the outside as it sits in a pseudo-hood location. Not a lot of noise and it could be romantic given the right lighting.

Fantastic new Chinese place with a focus on Sichuan flavors. I had the fish in hot chili oil and it was perfectly seasoned and very generous portions. They also have classic Chinese-American dishes like Orange Chicken so families with picky eaters can enjoy this place as well. The interior of the restaurant is also well appointed and clean with a modern feel.
