Hometown Memory Szechuan Cuisine

Food tastes great with authentic Sichuan flavors. Dishes were spicy, flavorful, and enjoyable overall. However, prices felt a bit high considering the portions and quality. Service was okay but could definitely use some improvement. Still a solid place to visit occasionally if you’re craving good Sichuan cuisine.

The Fried Beef with Cumin was good...it cost about $19 and I will get about 1.5 meals out of this. The food was pretty good, but it didn't knock me off my socks. I'll definitely give this place another try, so I think four stars is fair.

Update 2024: the food is as good as ever, and the new waiter speaks perfectly good English. There is a large picture menu to help you decide what to order. You should go! Till we The best and most authentic szechuan food between NYC and Buffalo's 'Home Taste.' Probably even better than home taste. As with any restaurant seeking to replicate the experience of dining in China, the service and atmosphere are not prioritized - the food is. Wow, was the food good. Mala dry pot, sliced fish in chili oil, hot and spicy shrimps all on point. If your idea of Chinese food is general cho's chicken on a white tablecloth with effusive service in English, you may not like this place. Myself, I will return whenever I'm anywhere close to Syracuse.

The food is excellent, and we never have to wait long to enjoy a delicious meal. It’s affordable and of great quality, making it the top choice for many international students. My husband and I always stop by whenever we’re nearby to grab a bite. The flavors are perfectly suited to northern tastes and truly capture the essence of home.

Very authentic and great food. We’re amazed by how large the portion is at such fair price. Like the food more than Red chili and even Yang Di Chun!
