Sichuan House - Lafayette

Got the Mapo Tofu and Szechuan green beans. My dad got the Gen. Tsao’s chicken. Hit the spot! Would order again! Big portions. Fast service. Clean and fresh food.The Mapo tofu was not vegetarian, but that’s ok with me. I’m not strict.

The food was quite tasty. Portion was ok. Nice and big dining space. Good to see great family operation.Food: 4/5

You have to pay mandatory 20% tip (post tax) plus a service fee of $3.41 for three to dine in. Heard some arguments next table about the mandatory tip and service fee. Food is decent but not a good experience.Food: 3/5

I have never seen such a rude waiter in my entire life !!!!!!!!!! We have done nothing impolite, just kindly let him know that we are ready to order. He finally came and constanly told us that we need to pay tips in a harsh way while taking our orders!!!!!!!!! He literally said Don 't eat here if you don 't give enough tips!! Then we left wihout even finishing the order. WOW, I have never seensuch a rude waiter in my entire life !!!!!!!!!!

I was calculating the tip after dinner yesterday and the only options on my receipt were 18/20/22%.Then a woman (not sure if it was a waitress) came up to me and told me in Chinese that the tip should be chosen from those three options.Is it okay for a business to tell their customers how much they should tip? Do merchants also tell local customers how to fill out their tips? As a Chinese I felt offended.I ended up giving 15%, food was okay, service was average.
