Sichuan House 3505 Wurzbach Rd #102, (210) 509-9999 “At first glance, the tiny strip the restaurant is in isn’t compelling unless you’re into anime, need to rent a tuxedo, print a few signs or get a touch up on your Shellac. Not quite in the corner lot of this string of random shops sits Sichuan House, inside the former 4 Star Chinese Cuisine. Once inside, Sichuan is a whole other story. Instead of tossing red lanterns every which way, Sichuan chooses demure décor and lets the food handle the rest. And boy does it.” — Jessica Elizarraras Full review: You’ll Want to Try the Dumplings at Sichuan House Courtesy photo

After opening in May 2015, Sichuan House is finally extending its business hours to include Tuesday.

The shop, owned by Kristina Zhao and her family, has been one of our favorites for their Sichuan flavors, family-style plates and inexpensive prices. The odd day-off was due in part to staffing and according to Zhao those woes are no more.

We can get our fix of dumplings, pork belly bao, dong po pork belly, fish fragrant pork belly and steamed buns filled with pork tenderloin and scallions on the daily. Hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 9 p.m. Sunday.
