Came here for lunch after visiting a friend. We were a little hungry and ordered the following items Beef noodle, sweet and sour pork rib and traditional fried dried tofu.
The beef noodle soup comes with a clear broth. The flavor was very clean and did not taste of MSG. The noodles were chewy in a good way. The beef was chewy in a bad way. It is a good dish, just wish the beef is more tender.
The sweet and sour pork has just enough sauce. The flavor is overly sweet and one can still taste the vinegar. Very clean flavor. It was our favorite dish.
The tofu is firm and very flavorful without being overly oil.
We enjoy our meal and would come back if we are in the area. -

We used to come here to pick up our takeout orders. The food is pretty decent and is considered authentic on the west side.
I tried to order a couple of dishes (红烧狮子头meatballs and 韭菜盒子chive pancakes) that were some our favorite today. Unfortunately they are no longer available on the menu.
The food is pricy but we can understand that considering the location. The portions of dishes are smaller than they were before. For example the portion of Griddle Cooked Cauliflower 干锅菜花used to be twice the size of the portion today.
Not sure we will come back again. -

If you are Chinese that from Sichuan, this may not be best restaurant for you.
location is good and restaurant is pretty well decorated.
Ordered some classic sichuan food, Boiled Sliced Fish in Hot Sauce and beef. Whole flavor seems to be Americanized, but may be too spicy for Americans. Would not recommend at least for these two dishes. -

I liked GuYi, which focuses on Szechuan food and does a good job in general.
We started with the heart-break cucumber ($10), a cold appetizer that's beautifully spicy with notes of Szechuan peppercorn and tons of garlic. This dish is good on its own or mixed with other dishes.
The sauteed string beans ($13) tasted great. Nice crunch, fresh and also spicy with roasted red chili peppers.
The sauteed potato, pepper & eggplant ($16) tasted all right, but is pricey for what it is.
We liked the Ma Po tofu ($13). While the dish tastes fine, it didn't wow us (if you want the best mapo in town, go to Dongpo in, of all places, Universal Studios CityWalk).
Lastly, the dried tofu with chili pepper ($15) is basically firm yuba noodles with some jalapenos. This dish has a subtle savory flavor but it'll grown on you; best of all, it's an alternative to getting noodles or rice, as these tofu slices look and feel like noodles themselves. This dish mixes well with anything.
The service is friendly and knowledgeable about what's vegan and what's not.
If GuYi consistently offered its scallion pancake dish and a few other vegetable dishes (they're on the web menu, but only occasionally available in reality), I'd be there more often.
