Kuan Zhai Alley

The food was moderately spiced for me. I don't eat too much szechuan food but this place really balanced the flavor for me. It's the kind of food you just keep on eating because the heat makes the flavor so delicious.

They walk around often to refill your water which is much needed for a spicy place when you're eating.

The people working were nice and I think even the cook serves up your food for you. That just adds a family place vibe to the place that I like.

All in all this place was delicious and the flavors were authentic. The people working there were nice and the service they give reflects that. I went here for the first time with my mom and she also really liked her meal.

We both had the lemon shrimp, the shrimp fried rice, the chef special dry chicken and some golden sesame balls. Highly recommend the dry chicken! Would love to try the chef special combo next time!

Thanks for the food! 🙏

Kuan Zhai Alley’s dry chili chicken satisfies your late night sichuan cravings. Plenty of authentic chinese dishes to choose from and a great place to take your family and friends. Lemon tea is definitely a must.

Great food and atmosphere. We had a great time here for our End-of-2023 dinner! The hostess, Hannah, made it all special with her cheerfulness and attentive service. Sichuan food, with its strong flavors, really leaves a strong impression. Delicious!

Simply the best, authentic Chinese food in Irvine. Amazing staff and flavors. I am so glad they newly opened nearby!

Authentic, authentic, authentic! I can’t stress enough how genuine the food at this place is. From the moment you step in, you’re greeted with the aroma of dishes that transport you straight to China. The menu offers a diverse selection of dishes that are a true reflection of their culture. I was particularly impressed with their boiled beef with spicy Sichuan sauce. The service here was friendly and attentive adding to the overall experience. If you’re a fan of authentic Sichuan cuisine, this place is a must visit!
