Many options, great flavors! - Edit
So many options to choose from here! We loved everything we got, but the tofu dishes were the standout.
Read moreFYI- I like to order directly from restaurants, but I think their website’s menu is outdated and we could not reach them by phone, so we ended up ordering via Uber Eats.

Served actual chicken in tofu-only meal! - Edit
Gross - my Mapo tofu had actual chicken meat in it! I’m still grossed out. I took two bites before I realized. They offered to make another one (after they saw my yelp review) and then my husband decided to drive allll the way back over there to pick it up, they begged him to get me to remove my yelp review.
Read moreWhen we first called, they asked if we wrote “vegetarian” in the comment section as if it was my fault. Then on seeing the yelp review, decided they needed to make a new meal. Said they didn’t know how chicken could get in the Mapo tofu. How indeed…
Pros: I used to like the food
Cons: Veg tofu dish contained meat

Huge selection! - Edit
Absolutely great if you love Sichuan food and numbing pepper. We liked the twice cooked pork and dry pot tofu. The veggie dumplings were also good but the wrapper is a bit too thick - still delicious though. As others have mentioned they have an entire separate green menu in the back with a lot of veggie / vegan options.

Lots of veggie options - Edit
There is a fully vegetarian menu (you may need to ask for it, it’s green). Specify you don’t eat egg or dairy.
Read moreFood was tasty; the dry pot tofu was really good. The “chicken” is closer to “sliced beef” in my opinion, so I was a little confused.

Delicious food, they understand what vegan is - Edit
The food was delicious, nice and spicy, lots of good flavours, and they knew what vegan stuff was. Very authentic according to my Chinese girlfriend.

First time here, I’ll be back to try more - Edit
I ordered a few appetizers and rice on my first visit and will plan a return visit soon to try one of their many vegan options on their vegetarian menu. Super fast and friendly service. Loved the Sichuan peppercorn oil in their pickles.

Chewy veg options - Edit
At first I was really scared of chewing a “chicken” but it’s not you folks! However it’s not good for me because I have braces 😬 but otherwise it’s good.

this place rules! - Edit
As a Chinese person it's been pretty hard to find authentic vegan friendly Chinese places. Da Sichuan restaurant is amazing!! Super friendly staff, huge veg friendly menu, and (depending on the dish) very authentic. So so happy I tried this place. Would give it five stars if I could.

Da Sichuan - Edit
Love this place for its spicy food, friendly service and vegetarian options. There is an entirely separate veg menu which is very innovative and interesting. If you like to chew but don't want to eat dead animals, this is a really fun place to try.
