We decided to try it. The review is on point the man working there was super nice at the counter and the food was awesome.

All other hibachi restaurants serve the meal with zucchini, squash, onions, and fried rice with an option to add broccoli. I travel for a living and therefore can speak with authority that is meal was the worse that I have experienced in 14 states and 10 years being on the road. Now sure of their other menu items, but the hibachi shrimp and scallops meal was very lack luster! $23 will be better spent at Subway or a pizza place.

Sometimes in the least expected places one can find the most exquisite restaurants. Looking for a…read moreplace to eat after an upset with 419 West Restaurant for not having enough parking spaces to accommodate their booked customers, after canceling the reservation that I made through Open Table, I drove off to a tiny strip mall next door, and there I found this place called Szechuan Chinese Restaurant. After being awarded the NC Triad Yelp Squad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, celebrating their contributions and accomplishments throughout the year, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and businesses, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Szechuan Restaurant in South Roanoke, Virginia, is a perfect example. As I was walking towards the restaurant after parking my car, since I hadn't had an opportunity to research it to find out if it was good, I asked one of their customers who was also headed that way and he replied: "After more than 40 years of being their customer, I haven't found a place with better Chinese food." What an outstanding live testimony to the place, I thought to myself. Then as I got closer, Their windows were displaying framed articles about the restaurant. Inside, the owner was seated at his open office located in front of the restaurant, and the walls around him were inundated with framed awards and photos related to the restaurant. The owner, very friendly and hospitable, greeted me, and explained how since Covid they no longer had table service. But you would look at the menu, order and pay there, and then the food would be taken to your table in take out containers by a young lady server. As I went through their beautiful and extensive menu, he was able to notice that I was not too familiar with many of the items on the menu, so he helped me by asking me some questions of my likes and providing some recommendations. I ended up ordering a Coke to drink. A Vegetable Spring Roll as appetizer, as well as a Scallop Roll from the Sushi Bar. And as my main entrée I ordered the Pork Szechuan Style with their Fried Rice. And for dessert they had only three options Cheesecake, Chocolate Cheesecake, or Donuts. I went for the Chinese Donuts because I always wanted to try them. After ordering and paying with my credit card, I went to their dining room to look for a table to sit at. I picked a booth next to a window to provide enough natural light to be able to photograph the food nicely. The server brought me a plastic bottle of coke with a styrofoam cup with ice. The dining room was very nice and had the most beautiful and elegant fish tank that I've ever seen in a restaurant. It's a pity that they hadn't return back to regular table service since Covid is now under control. While waiting for my food to be prepared, I walked over to the Sushi counter to watch the Sushi Chef prepare my Scallop Roll. I invite you to view my photographs and videos accompanying this review to get a better sense of the place and the quality of their food. Finally, the friendly young lady brought my food to my table on a tray which she placed on the table. Both her followed-up to see how I found the food and to see ifvI needed anything else. What can I say, the food was amazing! From the Sushi to the Pork in the Szechuan sauce, to the Spring Roll, and Fried Rice. By the time I ate the donuts they had cooled down and hardened and were a bit dry inside. While I was enjoying my meal, several customers stopped by to pick up their To Go orders that they had ordered by phone or through their website. Others came with the intention of eating in but when they found out the situation, they ordered for Take Out instead. And a family who came to eat in, left when they found out the dining situation. The dining experience is not the same eating out of plastic containers. It's like drinking wine out of a plastic cup is not the same as drinking it out of a Baccarat wine glass. I highly recommend that the owner return back to the normal way of operating a restaurant. The inside of the restaurant is much too beautiful and the food much too exquisite not to do so.

Gave it four stars and not five because I understand the concept of the hibachi table But they tried to cram too many people at the same table . Myself I'm 6'2 300lbs , my wife and our friends went, and the husband is roughly the same size as me. A little better discretion from the host seating the people.

Our server immediately offered us menus and drinks. The print on the menus is so tiny she had to bring us a lighted magnifying glass! That was a first for us and we had a good giggle. My husband ordered sweet tea and the pineapple pork fried rice, medium spicy. It was delicious and enough to provide seconds for the next day. I ordered the shrimp tempura appetizer portion as my main. The vegetables were crispy fresh, green and red sweet peppers, sweet potato, onions, and broccoli. The two shrimp were rather thin and heavily coated rather than dipped in a lacy thin batter. It was a very tasty offering but on the greasy side. I had neglected to ask for it to be drained before service so that's on me. We scoped out all the other diners meals. They were beautiful and plentiful. The prices are very reasonable. We will return to sample more of the extensive menu.

Exactly what you want a cute little ramen restaurant to look like amongst the Appalachian Mountains. What was slightly difficult was the tight space, lack of service upon arrival and the temperature of the restaurant. I say this, not as a complaint, but constructive criticism. Upon entering we did not see anyone that worked at the restaurant and were met with a staircase and two rooms on either side, no sign of a host stand. We chose to seat ourselves, but only because we could not find a host or someone who worked there. The room itself was very smoky and hot. I understand the struggles of having such a small space and a hot kitchen as I come from a restaurant-owning family, however, any form of ventilation in this space would be appreciated. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. She was very nice to talk to. The food was solid. I will say that when I go to a restaurant to pay $20 for a bowl of ramen, I want something spectacular that I could not replicate at home. Overall, we enjoyed our afternoon at Plum house and will likely return in the future.

Cold Sesame Noodles is usually a dish, served cold , of noodles mixed with a peanut sauce, or tahini, and sesame seeds topped slivers of cucumber and/or copped peanuts. Their version was room temperature spagetti with a large glob of peanut butter topped with shredded lettuce and carrots. Get the part where theirwas no sesame anything? Moo Goo Gai Pan is a simple dish of large chunks of chicken with bok choy, white mushrooms snow peas in a white sauce served with rice. Their version was a little chicken, a few mushrooms, sliced carrots and lot of bok choy. As a filler they use chow fun noodles and give you a side if rice. Just dreadful. In comparison: Spam right out of the can - with the jelly - is an epicurean delight.
