The heart of Szechuan Gourmet lies in our authentic Szechuan cuisine. Our talented chefs are passionate about preserving the traditional cooking techniques and using high-quality ingredients to create dishes that truly represent the bold and distinctive flavors of the Szechuan province. Szechuan cuisine is renowned for its complex flavor profiles, often characterized by the skillful use of chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and various aromatic spices. This results in dishes that are not just spicy, but also layered with numbing, savory, and fragrant notes that create a truly unique and unforgettable culinary experience.

Our menu is extensive and diverse, featuring a wide array of classic Szechuan dishes that cater to a variety of tastes. From fiery and intensely flavorful options like Mapo Tofu and Kung Pao Chicken to more subtly spiced and aromatic dishes such as Twice-Cooked Pork and Fish Fillet in Spicy Bean Sauce, there's something to satisfy every palate. We also offer a selection of lighter and vegetarian dishes, ensuring that all our guests can find delicious options to enjoy.

A hallmark of authentic Szechuan cuisine is the use of Sichuan peppercorns, which impart a unique tingling and numbing sensation known as "ma la." This distinctive characteristic, combined with the heat of chili peppers and the aromatic complexity of various sauces and seasonings, creates a symphony of flavors that is both exciting and deeply satisfying. At Szechuan Gourmet, we source high-quality Sichuan peppercorns to ensure that our dishes deliver the genuine "ma la" experience that Szechuan cuisine is famous for.

In addition to our regular menu, Szechuan Gourmet also offers a selection of special features and seasonal dishes that showcase the culinary creativity of our chefs and highlight the freshest ingredients available. These specials provide an opportunity to explore new and exciting flavors beyond our standard offerings, ensuring that there's always something new and intriguing to discover on our menu.

I gave eaten here multiple times and not once has anything come close to NOT being the best food I have ever eaten. With each visit, I try something new off of their extensive menu - and it is a true treat and pleasure; even if I am not sure what I am ordering. The prices are fantastic and the portions are very generous for a family style meal. The store next door is fantastic as well.

You will never understand my deep and immense love for Szechuan Gourmet. Ever since I started school at CSU 2 years ago this place has always been my comfort restaurant. I bring dates here, I bring family here, I bring friends here—I always order the Golden Mountain chicken so often I’m a regular! It’s truly worth the price. Highly recommend this local restaurant. The staff is kind and the portions are large for the price.

Having dinner at the Szechuan Gourmet is an amazing gastronomic experience. We arrived late in the evening's service. We were seated immediately and were offered liquid refreshment. We asked for a pot of tea. The menu was not like the typical American Chinese restaurants. They had pictures of most of their dishes. My wife had shrimp and broccoli. This sounds like a typical Chinese restaurant dish, but it tasted way better than we expected. I had eggplant in black bean sauce. Again, it sounds typical, but the taste was amazing. The portion was large, and I didn't think I would be able to finish it, but once I tasted it, I didn't want to stop eating. My wife also had pumpkin and sweet potato patties. They were delicious. There's an ample free parking lot out front, and the restaurant is wheelchair accessible. Service was friendly and efficient. If you're in Cleveland and you want Chinese food, you should definitely try the Szechuan Gourmet Restaurant.

Not impressed.. 19 dollars for some sesame chicken that tasted worse than a basic corner Chinese Restaurant.. Small portion, dry plain rice, what’s all the hype here??

If you’re up for not your average Chinese-American food, look no further than this gem. We’ve been going to this restaurant for a few years now, and it’s definitely worth the drive. Even our kids love their true Szechuan dishes! Our cousin, who worked in China for a few years says that it’s the closest thing to authentic food.
