Xun Yu Si Kao Xún Yú Sī Kǎo

I like the interior and atmosphere of the restaurant. Don't like the relatively quiet parking lot fool you. The Chinese food made here is authentic Sichuan style flavor. Surprisingly in this age of inflation while other restaurants have make their portion smaller, Xun Yu has very good portion size. You might want to hold off ordering too much and order more when you need to. The staff is friendly and attentive and provides great service. I will go back there very soon with my family again.

Poor Service… blond Asian Waitress…Sat for two hours waiting for main dish Of grilled fish. Finally asked waitress where food was, restaurant had only 4 tables eating. She told me oh sorry, I forgot! Expressionless… you have to check off your menu choices on a paper menu, I would assume to ensure accuracy? She didn’t apologize, nor make an excuse. Nothing, all of a sudden acted as if she didn’t speak English. String beans and fried rice were good, compliment to the chef… other than that… worst experience and waste of time…. So many amazing Asian restaurants on the same block, skip this one. Also quite over priced for a whole grilled fish half the price of many fancier spots in neighborhood… alleged manager name was Macy? Who also decided to not speak English when the time was convenient. Very poor service.

OMG the best Sichuan style food place in the region since Sichuan Spring closed. We ordered their take out and just tried their fish roast dine in. Everything was excellent. The service was also great. They gave complimentary boiled edamame and spicy peanuts AND milk tea with herb jello and bubbles. 3 of us we paid $36 each with tax and tips. Much better than other roast fish places in the region. Strong recommend.Update: we went back as a party and found out that they have decent space for big parties and KTV rooms! We had a good time! Our server was so nice!

Its empty parking lot stopped me from going to this restaurant for a long time but finally I decided to give it a try after seeing many positive reviews. The interior of the restaurant is pretty new and clean. Friendly staff and good service. We liked the spicy pot (many choices of meats and veggies to select from and cook all together). We chose a mild spicy level and it tasted pretty hot to me. I recommend the mild spicy level if you are trying an authentic Sichuan spicy dish for the first time. Its spicy hot level is no joke. Our dishes, very generous portion. We are going back again for sure. Recommend.

Parking lot of an unremarkable gray one-story house on a side of a local highway was almost empty. The sign said Grill Fish, Open for to Go, and something in Chinese. The building was one of those you drive by and think who on Earth would would ever go there.Inside, it was another story. Soft light, muffled sound, wooden accents, generous spacing between tables, booths along the walls. Clean. And the menu: make-your-own dry pots with dozens of ingredients to choose from, whole-grilled-fish pots with pick-your-flavor options. Four different heat levels to choose from. List of preset dishes had safe and friendly stir-fried chicken, shredded beef, steamed fish, garlic eggplant, sautéed beans, noodle soups, fried rice. And there were items indicating a real deal: stir-fried kidneys, aorta, and tripe, griddle cooked intestines, appetizing frog, chopped chili fish head, spicy chicken feet, pig ears in chili oil. Prices — beyond reasonable.Not aware of their dry pot sizes, we started with a pork belly in the garlicky-gingery chili oil and a thousand-year egg. Ten out of ten.The size of dry pots wheeled out on a cart made us laugh. We were set for a few meals at home in the upcoming week. Sorry, not sorry.The pots were cooked to perfection. The most remarkable was the blooming flavor of Sichuan peppercorns. Numbing, tingly, sending customary electric currents through the mouth, they were especially citrusy and piney with a clear message of fruit as opposed to pepper.Cold milk bubble tea with jellied caramel — on the house — was a nice ending to the experience.And the service. Invisible and silent it was ever present guessing requests on an eye contact from a distance, with a quiet smile. Like in a movie.Bottom line. If you like Chinese food, Sichuan in particular, hot pots to be precise — stop what you’re doing and head to Edison, NJ.
