Came in with a large group and got to sample a bit of everything--perfect way to experience the menu. The fried chicken was a crowd favorite, and anything with flower pepper really stood out with bold, numbing flavor. Tried pork ear for the first time, and it was surprisingly good--nicely seasoned with chili oil and had a great texture. We also had lamb, spicy roasted fish, tofu, and a variety of vegetables--everything was well-executed and full of flavor. Great spot for sharing dishes and trying something new.

The best sit down Chinese restaurant in the area. The service is fast and quick. They have a great selection to order from from your typical Chinese and their specialty szechwan style food.

Real authentic Chinese food and it's family owned which is what makes it even more special

Great food here! My fav was the eggplant, but I was happy with every thing I got here. Definitely looking forward to my next meal here soon!

Food was really tasty. A little spicy for me but spiciness can be reduced if requested. All the dishes we had pictured were delicious. Surprisingly the cucumber dish was probably one of my favorites. Service was great. Portions sizes huge. Good parking and ample seating (atleast when we went). Highly recommend!

This is probably the best Chinese restaurant in the Covina area. I have family that lives in the Chino Hills area and we all unanimously agree this is the place for mapo tofu, toothpick lamb, and a ton of other Chinese staples. We came here for Christmas Day lunch and I could not be more impressed. The staff speaks both mandarin and Cantonese. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to have authentic Chinese food in the Covina area

SK has become one of my favorite spots to order lunch. The food is made to order and is always oh so fresh. As you wait for your order you can hear the chef work their magic by the sound of sizzling pans and quick movements paired with the aroma of garlic and all sorts of goodness!! This is a commotion you want to be a part of! The lunch specials are reasonable and very tasty allowing you to sample several dishes. The food is delicious and the owners are friendly. #ShopLocal. #ILoveMom&Pops

Szechwan Kitchen houses the best 辣烤鱼 Spicy Roasted Fish I've ever had here in the states! The 辣烤鱼 Spicy Roasted Fish dish is a staple where I'm from in China and the chefs at Szechwan Kitchen do it's justice and sprinkle magic dust on it or something! My boyfriend actually discovered Szechwan Kitchen for me to try their authentic Szechwan dishes a while ago a while ago and we knew we had to come back for a dine-in experience. You see, we just spent a whole day snowboarding and wanted something hot and delicious. We were coincidentally just around the corner when we got off the freeway and we pulled right into the driveway! Other than the 辣烤鱼 Spicy Roasted Fish dish, we also got their Steamed Pork with Pumpkin, rice to pair with the dishes, and (2) Honey Lemon Teas. They all were absolutely delish! Talk about the best meal to have after a hard day's work of snowboarding and having fun. We were both pleasantly surprised by how good the Honey Lemon Tea's were. The drink had quite an excellent sweet and sour taste. It has been one of the best memories from my childhood and it was brought back to me - all in one piece! Run, don't walk, to Szechwan Kitchen - give this authentic Szechwan Kitchen a try!
