Guyi Restaurant

We thought it’s an authentic Chinese restaurant, however, everything we ordered is wayyy tooo sweet than the real authentic Chinese food. I’m not exaggerating, even the chili oil is sweet in 夫妻肺片chili oil spliced beef… and sweet as f干煸四季豆sautéed green beans, even the soup in chili green pepper fish 藤椒鱼 is so sweet.. how many the hell sugar they put extra in them. The 辣子鸡Lazi fried spicy chicken piece are so small that they are so dry, not tasty at all, let alone it’s a sweet style spicy chicken… I asked the guy working there why it’s so sweet, he said bc this area is full of white ppl or non-Asian ppl and the restaurant have to make it sweeter and acceptable for them. What a pity for those who want real authentic Chinese food. The portion is small, after ordering 5 dishes plus 1 appetizers and 4 rice for 4 of us, we are still not full. Four ppl we spend $120 with unsatisfied and not-full stomachs. The service is bad as usual. We have to ask to bring us some water, and refill it. Even check bills never come unless I call them to come. We spend 3 hrs and spend $6 in parking. The first hour is 2$ and then every half hour is $1. All in all, if you are Asian or ppl who want to try real Chinese food, go to Monterey Park or somewhere more Chinese lives. Here are Americanized sweet dishes.

This is the most authentic Sichuan Chinese food I’ve found in west LA. Obviously they also have some americanized dishes, but why would they not? They’re in LA. Some people must’ve forgotten how people are around here. It’s definitely really good and beats any chinese restaurant in the area. It’s pricey but I’d say it’s worth it.

The food was absolutely fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed with a nice view of San Vicente in Brentwood. It is a treat to have delicious szeshaun food in Los Angeles. The menu was full of so many interesting choices. The lunch special was a surprise and came with soup and rice. The pepper beef and General Tso chicken was so yummy. I will be back soon.
