Our family are regulars here. This is as good as it gets for American-Chinese! With multiple Zagat listings, Szechuan delivers on flavor and options.
What's Good
The menu is large and you have all the meat options, plus vegetarian. Multiple soup options, hot appetizers, and dessert, too.
The staff is mostly friendly. Some do not speak English very well and tend to be abrupt. Don't let that fool you. They work hard to keep the place hopping.
It gets busy. It has been here for decades, so it is well known and very busy. They try really hard to keep tables turning, but you might have a short wait.
Get it to go! They do a brisk to go business. It is just as good on the run as in the restaurant.
As a regular, I do not hesitate to speak up if my meal isn't to expectations. The staff (and management) are quick to remedy any issue.
Their lunch menu has a FANTASTIC price tag. It includes tea, soup, and entree. The entree is only slightly smaller than the dinner portion.
Not great
The furnishings are a little run down. They won't impress you.
The parking lot can get packed. People often park on the street for lunch.
This isn't your typical Chinese delivery place. It is really good food! -

Not my favorite Chinese restaurant. Service was fantastic an friendly but food was generally bland.
I would call it a quick place to get an inexpensive lunch. -

Was really craving Chinese and this restaurant had great reviews so i wanted to try it for myself and i was impressed by some things but mostly disappointed.
I ordered to-go and was told it'll be ready in 15 minutes. When i arrived my food was hot and ready to go in a nice box to carry it out.
I ordered orange chicken(came with fried rice), sesame chicken(came with fried rice), and an order of Veggie egg roll(came with 2 in a order)
Now for the taste....hm well how to put this, the sesame chicken seasoning was delicious but there was hardly any chicken in it so it tasted like i was eating just the breading they use. The orange chicken tasted delicious and was packed with lots of chicken and wasn't hard to bite into BUT my fiancé said it tasted like they made the orange chicken with seafood which thank goodness him and i aren't allergic to seafood because that could have been pretty bad. The orange chicken didn't really taste like orange chicken to me, tasted more like teriyaki chicken but i still preferred the orange chicken over the sesame chicken. The fried rice did taste like it was mixed with seafood and I've never eaten fried rice that didn't have egg in it or veggies in it so that confused me a little. The veggie egg rolls were okay, wish i had some sweet n sour dipping sauce with them though so that was a bummer.
Over all i thought the rice was okay and loved the orange chicken and how there was actually chicken to eat in the orange chicken but wouldn't recommend the sesame chicken at all. -

The five star reviews here make me question the basis for taste, honestly, this place is a 100% American-Chinese style restaurant, not really Szechuan, if it were they'd be sure to let you know with spice and flavor not content to serve deep fried favorites of boring white people everywhere. Mind you their stir-fried green beans were most definitely above average on that bent. But their sad warrior signage outside needs a repaint, the teapots need to be replaced (mine didn't have a top and was so beyond smudged up, looked like it was covered in oil and muck). I didn't expect too much, but the pink duck sauce for the eggrolls, what is that? It was something altogether different (strange). Of the ingredients in this simple condiment (plums, apricots, pineapples or peaches added to sugar, vinegar, ginger and chili peppers) I only tasted a mild semblance to sugar, and none of the others.
We ate everything on our plates, so the food wasn't "bad" it just lacked any passion. The place itself has a lot of potential and could use new management - that may tighten it up. I appreciated the huge koi artwork and the red lighting in the other dining room, but the place had a 'dead inside' feeling, like they had flair once, but things became gray with time. The sweet n' sour shrimp had the perfect amount of sour and that red sauce you see everywhere, but the batter was way too thick and the shrimp seems frozen. The eggroll was an epic fail, but the beans were the saviour of this singular trip to this spot. I wish them well. -

I was in the mood for Chinese and I'd heard good things about this place. It's set off to the side on a side street in a strip mall that you could easily drive pass and never notice. I pulled in and parked and went inside where I saw the front walls filled with photos of local celebrities.
We were promptly seated and after looking over the menu we ordered. We started with two eggrolls and followed with Szechuan string beans and sweet and sour shrimp.
The food was ok but not outstanding. The eggrolls were generous in size and filled to the brim with shredded cabbage. The string beans had a heat that snuck up on you and were nice and crisp. The shrimp looked large but once you bit I. You saw it had two layers of batter on it.
Overall the service was pleasent and the food ok. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to dine here again but I will say looking at other tables plates the portions were generous.
