The food is amazing and so fresh. The service is the best with a comfortable atmosphere. Food portions are good for the price with so many great menu options. We go with a group of 6 - 8 people and everything is served fresh and hot for all. read more

My wife and I have lived all over the country - both coasts, TX, MS, VA, New England... This is the best Americanized Chinese food we've ever had. We prefer the Americanized Chinese food - call us lame if you'd like. This place is absolutely amazing. Their White Meat General Tso chicken is unmatched. We can't even find it anywhere else. It's simply the best we've ever had. And their crab rangoon is incredible, spare ribs on point, scallion pancakes are delicious, egg roll delicious, lo mein is wonderful... You just can't go wrong by dining at this place (or doing take-out). read more

My wife and I go her with her sibs and the rest of her family on a regular basis. Food is great, portions are good and prices are great as well. read more

Got some take out from here this week. Let me just start with the positive, food was fresh. But let's hold off on the food for a second. At check out I was never given a total, and instead, I get asked "cash or card." Normally I would not comply with said question until I am objectively given a total but just so happens that i am recovering from being sick this day, and could f around with timing so I tried to use my Amex card (they dont accept, first red flag) at which point i am nearly 99% sure, i was upcharged for using my MC (2nd red flag). Now, if this were just one meal or if there were a written minimum for paying with a card id be 100% okay with meeting said minimum with advance notice to make it worth while for the merchant. What i am NOT okay with is paying for the cost of conducting business for a lucrative LLC. I dont sell chinese food, thus i should not pay for their OC. This was extremely shady and i would recommend anyone shooting such things down and getting a CLEAR total prior to paying, it is not your responsibility as a consumer to cover that charge. This is really upsetting to say the least. Now for the food. My Broccoli was chewy and uncooked. My crab rangoon was all cream cheese but other items were decent. Rice was perhaps my favorite item here, and actually really good to be fair, even if portions were laughable for what i paid for. First time, last time here. Thanks for reading and hope your luck is better than mine. read more

This place has gone down hill. Quality, freshness, (food) and cleanliness is lacking. The service is still good but really needs attention to the other details. Meats are tough and not fresh. Would not go back. read more

Food was good. Service was good. I highly recommend. I'm picky with my Chinese food so me recommending a place is not ez to get

Do not order from this place. Absolutely the worst Chinese food I've ever had. Wonton soup was tasteless. Boneless ribs were horrible and the general choes chicken looked nothing like it should have and was mushy. Threw it out after 2 bites read more

We were looking for a sit down Chinese restaurant in the Manchester area, so decided to try Szechwan House. We sat down and ordered a Mai Tai. I asked about Subgum Pork Chow Mein they looked at me funny. I said Ok never mind can I just get some Chicken Chow Mein. We also ordered Beef Fried Rice, Pu Pu platter for two and Beef Lo Mein. The food came. I'm not sure what the Chicken Chow Mein was but it was literally cabbage and boiled chicken with NO TASTE. The Beef fried rice looked good but had no flavor at all. Pu Pu platter was pathetic. Chicken fingers not good at all. The boneless spare ribs looked like the cut them on a deli slicer. Super thin and had the texture of beef jerky. I have made better char siu than that. The Beef Lo Mein was the only thing I ate. We asked for the red sauce for the chicken finger like what comes with Sweet and Sour Chicken and they brought us some sauce that was temperature hot and spicy. Never again. read more

When we want quality Chinese food we go to Szechuan House. The food is consistent from visit to visit and always delicious.

Great food, excellent service and reasonably priced. I never go anyplace else. Highly recommend it. Jim G. read more

My go to spot for great food! Price is fair and takeout is timely. Plenty of options for seating. Service was excellent also!

So I was just looking at my past reviews and it's pretty funny that I was writing about the same individual Doing the same thing, This time it's worse!! Actually, I enjoy the food very much, but the service is very unprofessional Mostly with the same one individual. She is very intrusive always asking about my finances as well as my personal life as if I am a close friend. I do not appreciate that at all. Also I Feel as though I am being nickel and dimed on each purchase. I am not only charged for extra sweet and sour sauce, 50 cents each., She charges me a dollar for each substitution. As well as a dollar extra on the delivery fee; Supposedly because it's out of the area, This all adds up in the end, On top of their overpriced food!! No wonder why my mother had a collection of the Chinese drink glasses The ONE THING I am mostly upset about right now is that $6 was added to my bill without my authorization. A couple of days later, when I called to ask Her what gave her the right to make changes to my check, she actually had the gall to show up at my house, even walking in to my apartment. This did not work out too well. When I was finally able to get her out of my house, I could hear Her in the hallway, she had called the police Saying I threatened her. Are you serious? I mean , I have to deal with this shit now? I sure as hell wasn't going to deal with the police so I went to my neighbor's house. When the police got to my apartment I could hear them from down the hall pounding on my door, for over 45 minutes mind you. I wasn't too happy With this woman to say the least, read more

Excellent food! Great prices! And delivery was quick! Best Chinese around. Moo goo gai pan was delicious!

I ordered 3 items for delivery. phone service was friendly & delivery was faster than expected. 1. Crab Rangoon - tasted just like cream cheese in a fried wonton with minimal crab flavor or ANY flavor other than cream cheese. wontons were themselves were perfectly crispy however. 2. HOuse FriEd Rice was very tasty and as expected. Generous portion and worth the price. 3. Dinner meal of spicy shrimp & scallops Didn't have one single scallop in it. Apriconateky a 30% portion of decent sized shrimp in sautéed carrots & green veggie which was the majority of he entree for $18.95. The veggies were perfectly cooked and slightly crlunch y. The sauce had a sweet flavor with a slight kick of spicyness. over all a good entree except lacking 1/2 of the ingredient in its description and not worth almost $20 for 70% sautéed vegetables. 4. Phone service for delivery was easy and pleasant & delivery was timely and delivered faster than expected. packaging was completely appropriate the order. Overall this meal with tax and tip cost me almost $50 and was not worth the price however. If offered at maybe $20-$25 less it would've be more acceptable read more

Arrived at 12:10 for a take out lunch. Ordered my food and handed the lady my debit card, she takes and says to me you don't have any cash? I'm my head I'm like what? I politely tell her no I don't have cash. I don't think she was joking either. Cash for what? A casino trip??!! I can't be the only one who doesn't carry cash! The food Beef with broccoli, PFR and egg roll Beef with broccoli was luke warm in a oily sauce and it tasted like bleach. Rice was mediocre, couldn't taste anything Egg roll mediocre Interior is lacking upkeep / maintenance Stained ceiling tiles, booths from 1970 and filthy rugs. Clearly they don't care and I won't be back, just praying I didn't make a mistake by choosing this place because I had a craving for Chinese food. Best of luck read more

2 stars, do not except American express, house rice was boring, 1st try, 1 more chance,

This restaurant has remained the best Chinese food for me. I've been coming here since I was a child; from the complimentary wonton chips to their unique version of Generals chicken (Seriously amazing), I always leave stuffed and completely satisfied. Sadly I'm in Florida now but I'm really tempted to fly up to Manchester just for this restaurant's food! read more

Stopped here for lunch recently and dined in. There are 33 luncheon specials on the menu ($5.40-$6.95) which includes choice of steamed or pork fried rice, egg roll or chicken wing, and choice of soup (dine in only). The server brought out hot tea & ice water (without being asked) and a bowl of fried rice noodles with duck sauce. I ordered lunch special #4 Sweet and Sour Chicken ($5.50) with pork fried rice & egg roll, modest portion. Chose the hot & sour soup, not too spicy. The Sweet and Sour Chicken were chicken fingers covered in a sweet sauce with pineapple, onions, carrots, and peppers, not bad. The fried rice was average. The egg roll was was crispy with lots of cabbage, some pork. When I was finished, the server left the check (no fortune cookie?). Just enough food for a decent lunch. read more

Szechuan House - Chinese Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

Service is always fantastic and friendly. Food is good and consistent. Food is fresh.

I've been ordering takeout from here for 12 years in the past two years I have noticed that the food is not as good as it once was. Tonight's food ended up primarily in the trash can. The Sechuan beef was not stir fried so if steamed and the ginger chicken had no ginger taste. Both dishes used to be spicy however tonight they had no flavor whatsoever. I am sad, but I will not order food from here again. read more

Szechuan House - Chinese Near Me - Manchester, New Hampshire

I've lived in Manchester for 2 years now and I must say finding a great Chinese food place has been difficult. I was excited to see great reviews of Szechuan House on Yelp so I gave it a try. I won't be trying them again I'm sad to say. I wonder if people rated it so well because great Chinese is so hard to come by in this area that they don't know what quality food should taste like? Overall, the food was extremely bland! Chinese food is supposed to have flavor but their dishes had none. The pan fried dumplings were overcooked and dry. The sauce that other places offer has a tangy garlic flavor. The sauce they provide tasted more like soy sauce. The dumplings tasted better without the sauce, although either with or without sauce, they still were bland. The boneless spareribs were flat and tasteless. Not a lot a fat on them made for not a lot of flavor. The pork fried rice and beef lo mein were available in one size only. They were overpriced for the quality of each. The rice had so much soy sauce added that it was black. I'm shocked they provided extra soy sauce on the side because there was already too much on it to start with. The lo mein had small, not so flavorful beef and there were no veggies, typically onions are used, to enhance the dish. The chicken wings were good. Crispy and juicy. The crab rangoons were nothing exciting. Small and filled with imitation crab meat. The wonton soup was good but it's hard to mess this soup up. I requested no MSG and it was clearly prepared with MSG. I asked for extra hot mustard and didn't receive any. The only reason I'm giving them 2 stars is because the person whom answered the phone was very pleasant. The delivery was fast and the food was piping hot. My quest for a great Chinese place in this area continues. At this point, a drive to MA for Kowloon's is my best option. I hope this changes soon. read more

Recently went for take out. Although I have had trouble before with take out this was a great experience. I got general tsu's; szechuan fish, crab rangoons and vegetable fried rice. I couldn't be happier with my selections and they lasted the hour ride home in the car and were still hot and ready to eat when i got home. The szechuan fish is amazingly good and I really wish that I could make the sauce for this BUT it will give you smelly gas the next day. You have been warned. read more

I used to order from this place regularly about 2-3 years ago. I moved back into an area where they were convenient, so I decided to order as I remembered them being really consistent! Horrible mistake. I ordered their white meat general gau special. The first delivery looked like boiled chicken, as if someone forgot the sauce. I was so hungry and I live right down the street, so I asked they remake it and bring it, which they did without question. The second time was slightly better, but it was still void of any flavor. The white rice didn't even taste like there was any salt in it. My partner ordered their orange chicken, and even that was worse than something you'd get out of the freezer section. Very disappointing overall, I won't be back. Save your money and your time. read more

Loyal customers for 25 years! My wife and I have been coming here since before we married. Every great once and a while we end up eating Chinese from another restaurant and are reminded why we never go anywhere else. The owners have literally watched our children grow up. My favorites include the house fried rice and General Chao's chicken. And their mai-tais are hands-down the best you will ever have. The food quality overall is very consistent and the prices are reasonable. I can count on one hand the number of times we've had to send back a meal in 25 years. If there is a problem, they quickly and graciously make it right. Every other Chinese restaurant I've tried in Manchester tastes bland in comparison. read more

I ordered the combo lunch special crab rangoon, pork fried rice, char siu, teriyaki beef skewer. It was a very generous portion for only $8.25. This is basically two meals in one plus it comes with one of three soups of your choice. The egg soup was yummy. They also give you complimentary wonton chips with duck sauce and hot tea. The place is clean, there's tons of parking, and the food is delicious. I will definitely return. read more

I used to go here all the time when I wanted Chinese. It was by far my favorite restaurant for years. I don't know if they changed owners or not, but the food tastes completely different, and not in a good way. I spent $90.00 on food yesterday that was mediocre at best. I won't be going back. read more

Speedy service, only took 15 minutes. Portions are so little, it's not worth it. Spent $32 on a pu pu platter for two and crab ran goons. My 4yo ate most of what was there and we had to cook a second dinner, that's how unreasonable the portions are. Crab ran goons were decent, but soft and not crunchy. Definitely tasted as though they were microwaved before we arrived. Didn't even get any rice with the meal. read more

Grabbed three lunch specials and three hot and sour soups Mediocre tastes on on the lunch specials but ample portions. Hot and sour soup was very good, some of the best in manchvegas. Staff is very friendly and orders were accurate. Not sure of the Covid protocols as someone else picked up our food. SH is a Manchester staple for Asian food. read more

Won't be going back. Spring rolls taste like fish oil and the lo mein had no taste. Have to say the guy at the register wasn't very friendly but the woman that brought out my order was very sweet hence the two stars read more

Friendly people. Great food. Love the white meat Generals chicken and the pot stickers.

Hands down my favorite place to eat in Manchester, NH!! Lunches are great! Tons of food for a low price! The szechuan green been are my #1 favorite thing and I love that they will change any chicken dish to white meat instead of the traditional dark meat dishes!! Outstanding place!! read more

First, the wonton soup had ONE wonton in it. And not a particularly good one at that. The pork lo mein had no pork, and a metric ton of mushrooms. The shrimp with garlic sauce was merely a few overcooked shrimp swimming in corn syrup with shredded celery and carrots. If you're looking for anything approximating actual Chinese food, steer clear. read more

Admittedly, I come here often, but I do so because I've never had a bad meal. Food is fresh and perfectly seasoned and sauced. Started with the amazingly favorable Hot & Sour soup ($2.25) before ordering the Kung Bao Chicken ($10.25) It's a spicy dish of chicken, peanuts, bell peppers and hot peppers served with white rice. Truly delicious. Also had a side of crab Rangoon that are some of the best you'll have. Awesome place and great value. read more

If this is the best Chinese food in Manchester, then I'm taking a plane to China (not that they really eat the food American's refer to as Chinese). I arrived here late Saturday afternoon. There were not many diners which should have meant that our server would have time to, you know, serve us. Not the case. I find most Chinese restaurants to have great service minus the attitude. Our server didn't have attitude; but, he also was never around to exhibit any as we rarely saw him. The food...first, I was surprised to find that there were no lunch or dinner combinations specials which meant everything was a la carte which I'm not opposed to if the food is expecially good. I ordered crispy rice and chicken soup which was good. The eggrolls I ordered were mostly vegetables. I would have to engage the services of a bloodhound in order to find any meat; and, even then the hound would have had trouble. The food was standard to poor. The service was dreadful when the restaurant was empty. I can't imagine the service if this restaurant actually ever gets busy. For good Chinese food, I'll continue to frequent Heng Wong on Mammoth Road. For sit-down Chinese in Manchester, my search continues. read more

Went to this restaurant solo on 12/28 after finding my nail place closed on a Sunday (Nails to Perfection). The place was empty but the phones were ringing off the hook due to their delivery option. I ordered the pork fried rice and Kung Bao Shrimp, both of which tasted fresh and delicious with hefty portion sizes. Easily could have been shared between two. I asked for a box to take the leftovers home, and the lady took the food in the back to package it for me. I did not ask for tea however they put a put on the table and it was fantastic, traditional for these restaurants (not green tea though). The rice was very fresh, 75% of the pork was real meaty and the other 25% was fatty so I pushed that to the side. The shrimp was medium sized and fresh, with an abundance of peppers and onions. The sauce was not too thick and medium to high spiciness. I asked for hot oil to put on my pork fried rice. The rice was perfectly cooked. The waitress was timely and brought pineapple slices over with the check. Overall 19$ and I got two meals out of it. Still tasted great the day after when I ate it for lunch. I would definitely recommend this place. read more
