The first photo is sweet and sour fish. That is a great dish for people who can not eat spicy food. If you prefer to try spicy, try second one. If you are the person love spicy, try dishes including frog. Very recommended!

Best orange fried fish in the bay, after having tried several others. Huge portions, fair prices, and absolutely amazing taste. There is a very experienced chef in the back putting out some amazing food! This place is now one of our secret favorites!

Very authentic Chinese food cause I come from Chengdu🤣 Fair price, good service, no waiting, clean and tidy, easy to park. I love it! Definitely will come again and again!

great food for spicy hunters! Near the airport as well! Parking is limited mostly street parking. Not so big place but still food is awesome!

Charming Chinese restaurant in Millbrae that focuses on the Sichuan cuisine. The Mapo tofu was delicious, and the cold spicy noodles were superb. Beef noodle soup was surprisingly good as well. Fast and efficient service. Interior is small, so not ideal for large parties. Parking can be challenging, as the free parking lot fills up fast and is shared with several other local businesses.

Flew into SFO early on Sunday morning and was hangry! So decided to checkout Little Chengdu at the next exit. Parking was tricky but we got lucky. Otherwise you’ll have to go around the block to keep looking for someone pulling out if you go at rush hours especially on weekends. Very unique dishes you won’t find at other Chinese places. The best are their signature fish in hot tray items! We got one and it was amazing. Added an egg yoke friend shrimp, and a sautéed vege dish. Both also very good. Took home the many leftovers and finished those off the next day. Can’t wait to go back when I’m in the peninsula!

We arrive at the restaurant after six o'clock in the afternoon, so we don't have to wait. Order directly by scanning the code and ordering online, and then a waiter will confirm the menu and spicy degree. They serve food quickly and taste good. When we left, the restaurant was full and there were people waiting to into the restaurant.

This is official my favorite Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area. Their 松鼠桂鱼（pine fried fish with tomato sauce) is absolutely fantastic. We were just walking past one day and saw they have 松鼠桂鱼on their menu, so we decided to give it a try. It was the BEST we’ve had in the United States. It is my bf’s favorite Chinese dish since childhood. They do a great job. The flavor is just the right amount of sweet and sour. The fish is fried very well - not too much dough, a lot of fish meat, and most impressive of all - ALL BONES ARE REMOVED! We’ve been regular customer of theirs since then. All their other dishes are all super authentic and the price is much more reasonable than a lot of Chinese restaurants in South Bay.

Tasty sichuan food with the characteristic mouth-numbing chilies. You order through online website as they don’t have traditional menus.

Went back to "Little Chengdu," which used to be "Little Sichuan" in San Mateo. Happy they're open again after the pandemic. The new place is smaller but feels cozy. Had a nice surprise when my partner debated a third dish; I remembered their big portions, so I said no. The Cold Noodle was still big enough for both of us! My favorite, the Sichuan Spicy Cold Noodle, was as good as always. Big portion, tasty sauce—satisfying. Tried Tea Smoked Duck for the first time, and it was better than expected. Tastes like smoked turkey with a hint of tea. Smelled a bit smoky, but the flavor was excellent, not too bitter. Just a heads up, parking around the area might be a bit difficult.

Love this place. Probably the best sichuan style food in the bay area. Super tasty and great if you love to eat spicy sichuan style food! Great value for big dishes, you should plan to take food home so you can enjoy one or two more times. My favorite is the spicy beef. Staff is so nice! Make sure you are clear with the server how spicy you like your food!

My absolute favourite Sichuan restaurant in the Bay area. Food overall feels more authentic and slightly less greasy than others I've tried in the area. Really love both the sweet and sour fish and the spicy boiled fish. I also really enjoyed some of the more niche dishes like chicken cartilage and frog.

One of my favourite Sichuan restaurants I’ve been in North America! Love the spicy savoury taste (not to warn that it’s very spicy)!

Guillaume Remy

A truly excellent meal, served very quickly with all the right flavors, huge portions and surprisingly good quality rice. Tea was a little weak however.

Coming from LA, this Sichuan food refreshed my understanding of SF Chinese food! Authentic and delicious.10/10!

We tried the fish and frog dishes, plus cold noodle. All were outstanding, great taste, great portions. The tea served were a good compliment to the spicy food, of higher quality compared to other similar restaurants. If you like spicy Sichuan seafood - this is the place to go. Will definitely visit again.

Mildly Sichuan, a toned down mala likely resulting from a more Cantonese clientele. Spicy tripe appetizer, earth spice fragrant and slightly numbing. Eggplant side dish, expertly stir-fried. Unassuming and neutral, nothing out-of-the-ordinary. Good for those seeking Sichuan flavor without the mind-numbing.

I should have taken a picture of the menu because I didn’t remember any of the names lol. I went to this place two times so far and I kind of like it. The service was good and they served the food pretty quick too. I know Szechuan cuisine is very spicy in general and I normally can’t stand it, but I really like the taste in this place. And they would serve you some orange slices at the end of your meal which is really nice! And there are parking spots around the area. Definitely will go back to this restaurant :)

Sichuan peppercorn spiced noodles with fish or pork with fiery red aromas are addictive and are forging a universal appreciation for palates the world over so great to find such cuisine here in Millbrae and impeccable veggie dishes cooked to max sweetness yet crunchy textures as you will find in my photos.

Excellent spicy Sichuan grub if ya like extra hot and spicy this is your place

Most foods on the menu were never available or out, I will adjust this a review when they have all their foods available. I felt forced to pick something else when there was other dishes I really wanted to try. Is feel like services lackluster, as you have to use a qr code to look at the menu and order.
