Lakeside Asia Cafe - Reston

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
