Szechuan Brothers was a great find! I ordered the fried fish and the beef fried rice and both were excellent. The fish was fried to perfection--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and had just the right amount of spice without being overwhelming. The beef fried rice was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Service was quick and easy, making it a great spot if you want something delicious without a long wait. I'll definitely be back! read more

Szechuan Brothers was in my book mark for three years. Finally my brother in lord invited me for the wonderful dinner. The place seems like don't need reservations for big table like us with group of 7. I like our first dish as chong qin spicy chicken. This is good spicy dish with fried chicken strip. The spice is amazing at that fish. The five elements spicy soup another good dish. I like it because it has pig blood as tradition items. The domeo stir fry vegetables also good to go with the meal. Overall is a good restaurant. Service also good. read more

Overall decent...but I will be back to try other dishes...the ones we chose were average at best. Hot & Sour soup - good value as a Large is $9? Kung Pao Chicken - pass...hardly any flavor Broccoli Beef - just OK. Broccoli was barely cooked Pork Chow Main - got this as they were out of MuuShu... overall decent, but it was almost like they forgot (same with the table next to us) as it came out over 20 minutes after we got the other food. Service was fine. Don't get the cocktails read more

We were only in Vancouver for a few days during our August anniversary trip, and I was craving Chinese food one evening. Szechuan Brothers piqued my interest while researching (authentic) Chinese restaurants in the area. Located in a large strip mall, the restaurant was cozy with plenty of tables for groups and couples alike. We were hungry but not starving, as we had eaten at Park the Carts several hours earlier, but still wanted a good dinner. All of the food looked so good around us, especially their Szechuan hot pot. However, we decided to go with simpler fare so as not to have leftovers. I went with the braised beef noodle soup while my husband went with the combination fried rice. The servers were attentive and friendly, and took our order quickly as well. We didn't have to wait very long for our food to arrive to our table. The braised beef noodle soup was the perfect portion, with a ton of veggies and huge chunks of tender beef. The noodles were chewy and bouncy, and the broth had a good depth of flavor. Braised beef noodle soup, when done well, is so comforting. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, which is one of the best parts about this soup when executed correctly. My husband's combination fried rice was also delicious. I had a few bites and it had such a wonderful wok hay to it. The combo comes with chicken, beef, and shrimp, and there was plenty of meat in the dish. I only wish we could have returned to Szechuan Brothers for a second time during our trip, but that just means we need to go again the next time we visit the PNW! I'd definitely recommend going to Szechuan Brothers if you are craving some delicious authentic Chinese food while in Vancouver! read more

I was surprised to find an authentic Szechuan restaurant out in Vancouver, but Szechuan brothers was a fantastic surprise. The chongqing chicken was very mild, but still an enjoyable dish. We got the personal hotpot which was a soup based hotpot that we added beef too. The soup had a great spicy kick to it. We also got a lamb dry hot pot which had great flavor and even included cauliflower. Finally we got the combo chow fun and yang chow fried rice. Those were well done and enjoyed by the non spicy lovers in the group. Service was better than expected for this restaurant and would recommend stopping in. read more

We ordered Moo Shoo pork and orange chicken. Moo Shoo was great but the orange chicken was overcooked and chewy and not much of an orange taste. Hot and sour soup and dumplings were very good. Service was great and they are very nice polite servers. I wish they offered combination plates. read more

I love it here, food is good. My family is Chinese, and my grandparents know almost everyone of the owners of Chinese restaurants here, except this one. It's really good food (especially the green beans) and it's a nice interior, feels like a Chinese restaurant from the Seattle Redmond area read more

Authentic Szechuan cuisine. Recently found this restaurant while staying in Vancouver, WA. Surprisingly it was so great cooking, somehow much better than crossing river to find one in Portland, Oregon. The service was also the best -- the owner sincerely and carefully cooked congee (rice soup) as requested even though it was not on the menu. read more

The food is always delicious and hot. Service is super good, even when they are extremely busy and running in every direction. We had be been going to SB for past 7+ years and cannot say enough good things about SB. I went with a 10 person group of Boomers and we ate family style. My wife and I were not able to eat all that we normally do, since we had to share. NEXT night, my wife, adult kids and I went back and ate all we wanted this time. . Great place. Thanks read more

Following recommendations from local people, I decided to give this place a try. Great place!! The place was clean and spacious. The service was outstanding and they were very helpful. As for the food, it was very good and tasty. The plates are big and you get lots of food. It's a perfect place with a group of 4 or more. Highly recommend this place. read more

Really excited to try this place and ditched my go to just down the street to try it. Wish I would have just gone to my fav place instead. Food lacked flavor for the Mein and the rolls. M said her tofu was good buy greasy. That's what the problem was with the mein, very oily. Spring rolls had a strange flavor but that might be the cooking oil needs changed or ?? Anyway, left overs were just as oily and discarded soon after reheating. Not in a hurry to go back. I might to try another regular dish I order to check them out again bu no Mein and no spring rolls next time. read more

Numb-Spicy Heaven Just Across the River -- A True Gem Don't be surprised. Yes, I crossed the river from Portland into Southern Washington with a colleague, and it was absolutely worth it. Szechuan Brothers served one of the most authentic and delicious Szechuan meals I've had in the region. I love numb-spicy (麻辣, má là) food, and this place didn't hold back: 1. Boiled fish in chili oil - Silky fish in a fiery, aromatic broth packed with dried chilis and peppercorns. Intense, balanced, and unforgettable. 2. Lamb skewers - Smoky, tender, and bursting with cumin spice. One of the best versions I've had outside of China. 3. Spicy beef noodle soup - Rich, comforting broth, perfectly chewy noodles, and flavorful beef. 4. Sliced beef & tripe in chili oil - Cold and spicy with amazing texture. Classic and refreshing. 5. Steamed rice - Soft, fluffy, and the perfect neutralizer to balance all that heat. Beyond the food, the service was genuinely good. The vibe inside was inviting, clean, and warm and our waitress was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you're anywhere near Portland or Vancouver, cross the bridge and eat here. This place is the real deal, and I'd come back in a heartbeat. read more

Really good food We loved going there and went there multiple times but now we stopped....u guys want to know why? They have now made the process of entrees exorbitant....even veggie entrees which we love are now prices over $20!!! Ridiculous This is way too much And if u want meat or seafood options it's near $25.... Too bad because we really like going to this place but for a$100+ meal I rather get steak read more

New Review for SZECHUAN BROTHERS 2025 ~ This is my "go to" restaurant in Vancouver for delicious Chinese food! The food ALWAYS comes out hot and cooked to perfection. The staff is friendly, fast and very helpful in answering any questions about the menu. speaking of the menu, I don't always know what something is and their menu has photos of every item! This has helped me branch out and try new things. My absolute favorite dish in the menu is the DRY COOK green bean chicken (be sure to ask for the dry cook!) - it's a tad spicy so be careful not to eat the red chili pepper if you don't like too much heat! Their hot and sour soup is the best. Portions are large enough for family style/sharing, so order a few different entrees so that everyone in your party can try multiple dishes. The restaurant is clean, nicely decorated and there's rarely a wait to be seated. Takeout seems to be pretty popular here too! Give them a try if you've never been here ~ you'll have a new favorite! read more

I've never dined in at this place, but every time I go to pick up my takeout, it's always packed with diners.

Give this place a try if you are craving for Chinese food. read more

We decided to order something online to go, but nearly all of the individual dishes are now $18-$20, and up to $24; once we include the tax and handling fees, one order of beef with cilantro was going to be $28.31. Pass. It's still our favorite, the best Chinese food in East Vancouver, but we'll be there less often now. read more

A friend and I came here for dinner on a Thursday evening. We were quickly seated and offered a menu. After looking through the menu, we went ahead and ordered my favorite dishes from here. I have been coming here often and would typically order these two dishes. But after covid, I would order to-go or have the dishes delivered home. However, we had the opportunity to dine inside the restaurant this time. We ordered the Beef dry hot pot - mild and the fish fillet in chili oil - mild. Both dishes came out exceptionally fast! We were amazed with the speed. Best of all, both of the dishes were amazing. We will definitely come back for when we crave these two dishes. read more

Szechuan Brothers - Eggplant with Ground Pork and House Special Fish Fillet - Szechuan Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Going back for a second taste here was high in priority for both my wife and me. Today we made it for lunch and we're both glad that we did. Unlike a lot of lunch specials, this one didn't have some of the low-cost food. Frills that take away from the main entree at a lot of Chinese lunch specials. This one was the entree rice and a bowl of soup. I went for the general tso chicken with hot and sour soup and the wife went for cashew chicken also with hot and sour soup. The entrees were certainly front and center. The portions were large. Of course they are fresh from the kitchen and they were really delicious. If I had any concerns it would be at the pieces of chicken were too big for me to manage with chopsticks and so I had to resort to use my fork to cut it into pieces so I could eat. We also tried the sesame balls special. It's a a little bit sweet. Kind of like a filled donut hole rolled in sesame seeds. I'm not sure exactly what the filling is. I think some sort of bean paste but it was so delicious served fresh and hot. I've never had anything quite that tasty We'll be going back. I recommend you give it a shot read more

Placed an order to go for their chili wontons and combination fried rice. Fried rice had lots of flavor and was seasoned well. The chili wontons were over cooked and mushy. Disappointed in the quality but will still return for other dishes. read more

Ordered my usual bi-weekly (if not weekly) and had to double check the order..the usual fatty, fall off the bone, delishly sinful sizzling rice and pork ribs were dry and tough. The tongue numbing, habit forming wontons in chili oil more sour than spicy. Almost like the food was from a different not as amazing restaurant. I understand that most restaurants can have an off day but at these prices 1 dish off, okay. Both dishes off, No thank you! read more

Excellent service and very tasty meals. I arrived at the dinner hour when all of Vancouver wanted to eat here...very busy. Promptly greeted and shown to a table, followed with hot tea kettle and water. They have an extensive menu, one is paper but the other is like a bound book with color photos. Choosing from the color photos I ordered the lamb skewers, Mapo tofu, and wontons in hot chili oil. They each arrived quickly, piping hot, and so very tasty. As usual, I ordered too much and couldn't finish it. But I didn't leave it behind, taking it to go back to my hotel for a snack later on. Excellent food and service. Give them a try, you will be pleased. read more

Szechuan Brothers - Lamb Hot Pot - Szechuan Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

Craving authentic Chinese food... and this delivered!! We got maybe a little too much food, but even the leftovers hit the spot! We ordered wontons in spicy oil, dry hot pot with lamb, stir fried rice cake and a pork belly appetizer with garlic sauce. Every single dish was a win but if o absolutely had to pick one favorite, it would be the rice cakes. I loved using my seven-year old level Mandarin with the servers as well. We will certainly be back. read more

The restaurant was very busy. We waited for over 35 minutes on a Saturday night to be seated, then we waited for what seemed like another 35 for the food. My son ordered Szechuan Beef but he wanted to add broccoli and mushrooms, this was a problem for the waitress, they don't usually get these requests. My order was for one of the hot pots with almost every exotic vegetable included, however when it arrived and I took the first bite I almost spit it back out because the level of salt actually burned my tongue. I couldn't eat the dish. At any rate the waitress did offer to take it off of the bill, which I happily allowed. Otherwise the prices are high, the rice is not included with the meal, but the portions are very big. If It was edible, I think my hot pot could have fed 3 adults. Well that's it so not a great experience, however the place was so busy that I think the cook might have been struggling and maybe the lid fell off the salt. Also the waitresses are Asian and there was a slight language deficit that made ordering difficult. I tasted my sons beef and I found it to be flavorful, but he didn't like it as well as I did. Probably because I was starving by that time...LOL I would say try this one at your own risk, maybe they were having an off night so I don't want to give them a totally bad rating. Good Luck. read more

Want more authentic Chinese food? This is the place to go. They definitely do have American Chinese food on the menu, but seeing more traditional Chinese dishes offered in Vancouver makes me super happy. I ordered their salted fish and chicken fried rice, sweet and sour spare ribs, green beans & eggplant and a Fish Fillet in Hot & Spicy Gravy (I asked for it to not be spicy). The salted fish and chicken fried rice was delicious. Honestly, I never thought I'd see this on a menu in Vancouver. The salted fish and chicken pieces were perfect mix for the fried rice. I really enjoyed it. The sweet and sour spare ribs were good too, nice addition of peppers, onions and pineapple to it. The green beans and eggplant were delicious as well. They had a really good texture. With the fish fillet in hot & spicy gravy. This traditionally is spicy, and that's how I would normally order it. However, they can make it mild or not spicy at all if you ask. The flavor is super simple if you make it mild or not spicy, I definitely recommend it spicy. It comes with so many different components from fillet fish, bamboo shoots, black fungus, potato, bean sprouts and more, I ordered no spicy because the individuals I was eating it with wanted not spicy. Definitely will be making a trip here again! read more
