Szechuan Chef is a long-running Sichuan restaurant in the Kelsey Creek shopping center off 148th Avenue in east Bellevue, near the Lake Hills and Crossroads areas. It has built a reputation for authentic, fiery Sichuan cooking over many years of operation.

The menu features classic mala dishes, dry-fried preparations and Sichuan staples, drawing both the local Chinese community and heat-seeking diners from across the Eastside.

Its strip-mall setting is typical of the unassuming but highly regarded regional Chinese restaurants that dot east Bellevue.
