Szechuan House

Folks. This is your go-to place if you’re looking for a good Szechuan place in the area. Tbh I don’t have high expectation for Szechuan restaurants in American suburbs where most of the population is not East Asian or otherwise not familiar with spicy foods. This place is so so good!!! Every dish I tried so far was so tasty and rich in flavor. - Bear in mind that dinner entrees do not come with any sides (rice or soup). -Lunch has smaller portions but still enough for one person. - The staff are very friendly. I always feel welcomed. - The hall is very small and is mainly for takeouts I think.

My family and I were in the mood for takeout as we were discussing the Szechuan house came up in discussion but neither of us had tried it yet. So we decided to give it a go! The menu was fairly easy to understand, although I feel like if every food item had a picture ( some did on grubhub) it would be easier to understand what is what! The gentleman over the phone was so pleasant and made the ordering process efficient! I went and picked up the food with no problem at all, the place was very tidy and nice on the inside. I brought the food home and we were BLOWN away, the food was incredible and the portion sizes were perfect! Everyone loved their food and was equally impressed. We definitely will be going back and having them again. Pictured below The Yan Chow Fried rice: DELISH! It had a little bit of everything in it from mini shrimp, to actual egg, chicken, and vegetables. Singapore mei fun; my father in law had this and thoroughly enjoyed it! General Tao’s chicken: this was my dish and it was so so good! It wasn’t overly spicy and the sauce was yummy as well. The best part was the chicken was actually flavorful and moist! Not like your typical Chinese food chicken which is often dry. The breading was also not super thick which is a major bonus Shredded chicken in black bean sauce: my brother had this and liked it as well! Kung pao Chicken: my mother in law had this and she said it was probably one of the better dishes of kung pao chicken she had! She absolutely loved it! Dry peppers chicken: this one we were going back and forth ordering because we weren’t sure what it was going to be but we are so glad we ordered it! The chicken kind of reminded me of popcorn chicken but lighter and spicer, definitely ordering again! Doubled cooked pork: my husband had this dish and he loved every aspect of this dish, between the pork and everything else in the dish! He was thrilled with his food. Last but not least, the wonton in chili oil! This was amazing!! One would think that chili oil would be spicy but not at all! The sauce almost had a slight smoky sweet taste to it which was amazing! The wrapper also of the wontons was light which is different from your usual wontons! Everyone loved this as well! Overall we loved this place and will order again! My only small suggestion is to have explanations in English under what everything is and what it has!

I am so excited that this place opened and that there is finally some good Sichuan food close to home! Ordered takeout and could not be happier. The portion sizes are large, menu is vast, the food is delicious, and the staff is extremely friendly, helpful, and informative. They even called to let us know that our food would be ready soon so we could pick it up fresh and hot! Ordered vegetable fried rice, dry pot shrimp, fish in black bean sauce, and homestyle green beans. All of it was incredibly tasty. This is just what the town needed and we really enjoyed our food! Will definitely order again :)

I’ve tried it twice now and each time, the food has been underwhelming. This food isn’t cheap so I’ve been left very disappointed each time. My first time was the dry pot with shrimp, the flavors were mainly spices and although presented nicely, it wasn’t what I thought it would be and couldn’t finish it. My second time ordering I tried very basic shrimp w. Broccoli and the shrimp had a coating that wasn’t cooked all the way, there were smaller pieces all over the sauce and made it look unappetizing. The shrimp was so tough I couldn’t eat it. Luckily I ordered shrimp lo mein which tasted just like garlic and noodles. The fried rice was just greasy and tasted like salty old rice that has been fried. I know this is probably what it is but the flavors and textures were just not there both times I ordered. I guess I’m sticking to my usual place for now but was really excited for this place when it opened up. perhaps the meat and poultry options must be given more attention but the shrimp dishes were not good. I can get much better flavored and fresh tasting food down the block at half the cost.

I have been eating Chinese food my entire life, this is the best Chinese food I have ever had! I have brought many friends there and they feel the same as I do. Nick, who is always there and very nice and helpful and easy-going. It’s always a pleasure to see him behind the counter always in a great mood. I highly recommend this place above all others.
