Judging by the fact that there is always a line to get in here at night, Szechuan Café should be nothing short of five stars. It's our third time here and this time we are here because we got a gift certificate for Christmas. Luckily we got here before 630 because thats when the line forms at the door. And the takeout line is almost as long. This family run establishment runs like a perfectly greased wheel. Everyone who is working here does every job. You never go long without an unfilled water glass or beverage. Plates are cleared discreetly and quietly without interrupting you. The table settings include high-quality napkins which are sadly missing today at many of the places we dine. And you don't have to ask for extras because they always give you a couple extra. Plus everyone who works here smiles at every table as they walk by. It's just really good old fashioned service that makes our experience even better. But none of that would matter if the food didn't live up. Well the food does live up to our expectations and in fact often times exceeds our expectations. The portion sizes are large. Presentation is wonderful and the food is great. There aren't enough superlatives. I just know that I'm glad to have found this place and we will be back often.

Decent place. Quick friendly service. Food is great. Order takeout unless you like sitting in tight quarters with neighboring tables.

Hands-down, the best Chinese food in Maryland. Not just in Baltimore in the state of Maryland…read more Peter Chang broke the mold with this restaurant. We love the food. We love the service. We love the drinks. We love to creativity. It's also in a row house in Baltimore that gives amazing vibes.

We went to the all you can eat Sunday dim sum brunch and it was a delight. And also a steal for…read moreonly $32. There are no servers pushing carts here - you order small plates off of a menu. Each dish is the right size for 2-3 people to have a few bites. The crystal dumplings, duck egg rolls, steamed pork dumplings, and walnut creme dessert bao were perfection. The kung pao and cucumber salad had a strong and slightly weird maple syrup flavor, but were still pretty good, and beware that the tofu skin rolls appear to be stuffed with both pork and shrimp (so not vegetarian). The food came out quickly and in whatever order it was ready. However, the some of the service was struggling. The tables are small and easily overcrowded with 3-4 small plates, but neither our waiter nor any of the 5 food runners cleared our dirty dishes away. So we stacked the plates ourselves so they could drop more dishes. It took 3 tries to get more napkins, and despite encouraging us to order food in rounds of 3-4 dishes each, it was difficult to get to our waiter to order. Overall, this was a good experience with solid food. We will be returning.
