Customer Reviews
Quick and tasty lunch in this good Chinese restaurant. Potstickers were very good, and the Cumin lamb was good. The stars of the meal was the spicy Szechuan fish, flaky and tender in a good way, the fish itself wasn’t too spicy and was very fragrant from the chili’s and Szechuan pepper. And above all were the eggplant, yummy!
I was told, "If you like spicy, try LaoSzeChuan." And I did. The atmosphere when you walk in was authentic. The waitor brought us spicy cabbage and ice water instantly. After a few, the waitress came to take our order. I had the chicken with spicy garlic sauce, and my husband had general taos chicken (lunch specials). The food was very well seasoned and cooked fresh. The vegetables were fresh and very delicious. We really enjoyed our lunch date, at our new favorite chinese spot!
Every time I come here, I discover a new favorite dish. It's now becoming a problem - how do I choose? I was just at Lao Sze Chuan this weekend with a large party and the quality of the food and service was so outstanding I had to write a review. So here I am!
Best food ever! They have huge portions and staff are so polite and fast. I will come back for sure🩶🩶🩶
Phenomenal appetizers and savory chicken fried rice. Mapo tofu was full of flavor and sichuan peppercorns, potstickers were crispy and perfect. A+ dining atmosphere as well.
