I was mistakenly lead to believe all the good authentic Chinese food around here was up in Rockville. This food was spectacular. The menu is filled with pictures of every dish they prepare, so if you’re like me and dont quite remember the name of a dish you remembered fondly in China: its perfect.
Great authentic Sichuan cuisine. Had a great experience eating here and will definitely come back.
Staff was friendly and service was fast.
Food was on the pricier side, but well worth it. The Mapo tofu was a highlight. Every dish was properly cooked and had a lot of flavor.
Would recommend.
The best Sichuan restaurant, even I can confidently say Lakeside Asia Cafe is one of the best Chinese restaurant in DMV area! My whole family like it so much. "Chongqing Spicy Chicken" is the must order dish every time from my 10 year old boy .
This is absolutely my favorite restaurant for genuine Sichuan food. Their dishes remind me of the cuisine I enjoyed so much in China. Very authentic. Great service. The owner was very kind and courteous. They were able to suggest some dishes that kids would enjoy and my boys ate up everything. We also love the homemade dumplings and warm, crispy sesame balls. The pictures below are Spicy Szechuan Chicken, Green Beans with Ground Pork, Shrimp with Asparagus. Other favorites are Stewed Sichuan Style Fish and Sichuan Bean Curd.
Reston! You are sleeping on this place! The food is really really good, very high quality. Great presentation, can ask for more or less spice. Service was great if not ...not rushed lol but ill take great quality, fair price over that any day. My family and I will certainly be back! Thank you!!!
Love the fish hot pot here. Very family friendly restaurant. Other items on the menu I like is Chicken corn soup and chicken lo mein.
I was told by a colleague that the owners that took over running the Asian Lakeside Cafe were from Chungdu, Szechuan China. Szechuan cuisine, is a style of Chinese cuisine originating from Sichuan Province. It has bold flavours, particularly the pungency and spiciness resulting from liberal use of garlic and chili peppers, as well as the unique flavour of Sichuan pepper. Sichuan pepper causes a tingling sensation and to me that is the real test of real Szechuan. I was so excited to find the real deal here and near where I live
Great Chinese restaurant in DMV! Authentic Chinese SiChuan dishes. I like recent recommended new dish: pot stewed chicken(香卤鸡). Seems this dish is only seasonal (probably around Mid-Autumn Festival)
This is my go-to restaurant for authentic Sichuan food. Their dishes remind me of the cuisine I enjoyed so much in China. Delicious food. The pictures below are Spicy Chongqing Chicken, Stewed Sichuan Style Fish, and Sichuan Bean Curd.
The cold noodles are fantastic, and the spicy black chicken is def the highlight! So tasty.
I been here so many times and even take some friends along with me! It is really authentic Chinese food based on the saying by my friends from 四川
A friend took me to this place for New Year's celebration. My family and I had lots of the traditional Chengdu Sichuan styled dishes. It was all so amazing and made my taste buds dance with the different flavors. The chef is truly amazing!! Definitely eating here regularly.
This place should be rated higher. Food was hot and tasty, service was quick and friendly. So glad I discovered it and had a great dinner. It was a little pricey, but so is everything these days. Quality also isn’t cheap.
Good food. I especially like the beef dish below. It is not very species so if that is what you want you might be disappointed.
