About the Business

Specialties

We are so excited to share our culture & hometown eats with our beloved San Antonio community. Although food from the Sichuan region has gained a reputation for being fiery hot and spicy, Sichuan Cuisine is one of the formally recognized styles of cooking within China. In contrast with homestyle cooking which is typically mouth-numbingly spicy, Sichuan cuisine as a culinary form is really about the combination of spices & ingredients and use of different cooking methods to achieve dishes with complex flavors and depth. As such, we have spicy and non-spicy offerings to showcase the variety in Sichuan cooking. Everything on our menu is meant to be shared, cooked to order and brought to the table as they become ready to ensure freshness and quality. Welcome to Sichuan House. We invite you to eat Chinese, and savor Sichuan.

Meet the Business Owner

Business owner information

Kristina Z.

Business Owner

Having grown up in her father's grocery store, Asia Market, and around his delicious cooking, Kristina Zhao discovered her love for food as a child. That passion grew as she visited eateries across the world and learned to cook herself. She would often call her father with cooking questions, experiment with different ingredients, and host dinner parties to share her food creations with friends and family. Food always brought people together, and she loved that. The San Antonio native graduated from the University of Texas at Austin and had been living and working in Dallas when her father announced that he would be opening a restaurant. Afforded the opportunity to be closer to home, follow in the footsteps of her entrepreneur father, and pursue her passion, Kristina moved back to San Antonio shortly after to help expand her family's business into the unfamiliar restaurant industry and open the doors at Sichuan House, a small and now beloved eatery.
