About Sichuan Impression

Sichuan Impression brought serious Sichuan technique to Alhambra's Main Street and quickly became a Michelin-recognized destination that draws food-obsessed Angelenos from across the city. The mapo tofu arrives in a pool of chile oil with the signature mala — numbing-and-spicy — sensation that is the hallmark of proper Sichuan cooking. The dan dan noodles balance sesame, peanut, and Sichuan pepper with precision. The beef with cumin is the sleeper hit. Order a large group's worth and share everything; the menu rewards exploration.
