I've been coming here for many years because the food was very good. I placed my regular order to go and it was not very good. The green beans were not fresh this time. They looked and tasted bad. Not fresh maybe frozen and old looking. The Generals chicken had small pieces of meat and mostly breading. The sesame beef also consisted of vey small pieces of beef for the most part. Unfortunately this will no longer be my go to. read more

A friend and I went here for dinner the other night and it was delicious! The service was excellent. Our glasses were kept full and everything else was tasty. Loved it thoroughly and will be going back. read more

UPDATE: This has become my go to Chinese restaurant. I found out I have a gluten allergy. This is one of the rare places I can have a meal and not worry about hidden gluten (iykyk). The food is solid and really hits the spot for the whole house. The staff is super nice and has thrown in freebies from time to time. Also, if you don't mind driving to the store, ordering through their site is much cheaper than the apps. read more

A little hard to find with Greashem's nightmare traffic, but worth hunting for. Promptly seated with water, tea, and lunch menus. Hot and sour soup came with lunch, and it was above average with lots of chicken and vegetables. Our orders came out shortly after finishing the soup. Beautifully presented and prepared. Hunan Beef was excellent with every vegetable you can imagine, sans celery thank god, i hate celery and most Chinese restaurants seem to extend their dish's with it. Val's mushroom chicken was beautiful, with lots of mushrooms and chicken. Steamed rice on the side, way more than enough for the two of us for lunch, I would recommend this place, but remember it's not easy to find. read more

I know employees don't want to work overtime. I get it. We did arrive a half hour before closing time (9:30 pm) so we ate as fast as possible. When the server came to the table with our to-go boxes, she actually said to me "Can I have your fork?" and took it from my hand then proceeded to scrape my food into the box. I was still eating. Are you blown away now? Yes, this happened. read more

We came here for a family birthday. The service was attentive and friendly and patient as we couldn't make up our minds. The food is consistent and flavorful for what I'd refer to as American Chinese food. Servings and generous for the prices. The ambience is definitely 80s but it's kept clean. read more

10/10! Happy to have found this place. The reviews looked good snd the pictures looked good too. We liked that the prices weren't too bad, lunch is $2 less then dinner. So like $10.50 & $12.50. The lunch special comes with soup too! Hot tea served as well :) We got Orange chicken (which is a dollar more), chicken fried rice and chicken chow main for $38. Everything tasted super fresh and didn't feel heavy afterwards. A lot of food so lots of left overs too :) The service was awesome, and the restaurant was really clean. Coming back for sure!! read more

Love this place!!! The sesame beef is beyond delicious and one of our favorites! The food always arrives quickly and the staff is attentive. Its our " go to" place. The atmosphere, to be honest, seems a little dated but i like it. We dont go there for the atmosphere anyway. lol Candace Takahashi read more

In line with recent reviews, the food isn't great and I have had worse. It is fair. Ambiance is a little outdated and could use some sprucing up. Service was okay. Will not come back, because there are better places to go to. read more

This Americanized Chinese food was not the expected Sichuan or Szechuan food. The cooks were Asian and I suspect are Chinese but the menu is typical small town Chinese food. I asked about Sichuan peppercorn dishes and they only had one. Ma La Chicken or could be made with beef or pork. Unimpressed with lack of authenticity to the Sichuan name I feel should be called Chinese Food. That said the Ma La Chicken I ordered was tasty with tender white moist chicken not overcooked, onions, snow peas, shiitake mushrooms all fresh and crisp and not cooked poorly. Just not Sichuan. So if you are not looking for ethnic Sichuan Chinese food I can perhaps recommend it to you. It's Chinese food for white people. Kind of like Epcot Italy. The decor is ok plain. Seating is ample. Bathroom not clean. That part is pretty authentic Chinese restaurant and usually means it will be good. Service was fine. I think I put them off a little questioning non Szechuan menu Szechuan named restaurant. I had to show the waitress photo of The Szechuan peppercorn. Prices were good portions huge. Came with free pot of tea. Ordered only the one dish. I ate and am full and have enough for another meal. I think that's why 70% of we Americans are obese. read more

Similar response to others. Dated Ambiance, poor quality of food. Portion sizes are generous, just lacks flavor.

We have been eating here since the early 90s service is always excellent, and the food is always top-notch, you can actually watch them cook your food right there in the window of the kitchen. read more

What a disgusting place to eat! DO NOT EAT HERE. You will get food poisoning as my whole family did. When confronted the server about the chicken being raw and chewy, she said that's how it's supposed to look like and kept arguing with us. It should've been a red flag when we got there, and someone else at the counter was arguing about how bad the food was.. never again would I come here. 0 stars. read more

Szechuan Open Kitchen - The raw Cashew Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

Warn g this is not Szechuan food. This is really bad Americanized Chinese. Their pot stickers are "hand made" but frozen and deep fried doughy flavorless piles of goo. Hot and sour is passible but pretty flavorless. read more

A Pastor my Mom knows owns this restaurant. After a Pastor Conference she attended...(Yes. She is also a Pastor. ) where S.O.K. provided the grub. She thought it would be nice to take us all out for lunch. S.O.K. is in a strip mall in the corner and their sign is kind of small. Trust me. Find it and go in for awesome grubbing. There was 7 in our party and everyone got something different. Its all family style. You get your main course, rice to share and a small soup. My Wife and I shared Crab Puffs and BBQ Pork. Yummy. I got the Hunan Spicy Beef. I wasn't sure what it was and with a Hot Pepper Icon next to the name. I thought it would be a good idea to look it up before buying. Here's what the internet said Hunan Beef Is.... From the web:  Hunan beef has a much hotter flavor, and Szechuan beef has a more sweet and spicy flavor. Its main ingredients are chili peppers, garlic, and Szechuan peppercorn. It has a sweet/spicy and complicated taste. It is famous for the distinctive tingly numbing sensation it produces when eaten...... So hot it numbs the Tounge! What? Ya. That's what I want. I ordered Hunan Beef. Our waitress was on point. Fast and polite. We sat next to the open window kitchen. It was awesome watching cooks play with Dragons. Our food starts coming out. Bam. Everything looked amazing. My Hunan Beef sets down. Bang. Looks so ono. I dive in.... wait for it.... I just ate some without rice. Pass the rice please. Still chewing.... still waiting.... Another bite. Wait for it? I search for the heat amongst my taste buds. Uh. I can feel heat. Just a glance of it. In the back of the throat. Uh. This is the "Hot One?" K. Not hot at all. I wonder if they dumped it down? It was still very delicious. Just not hot at all. Well, hardly at all. Other than a lack of spicy. Everything was delicious and now I have a new Szechuan Place. Next time we'll kick it up a couple notches and see. read more

Szechuan Open Kitchen - Working the Dragon - Chinese Near Me - Gresham, Oregon

Love this place! The staff is quick to greet you as you enter, take your order, and the food is served piping hot. Each entree is large enough to share family style with leftovers to take home. Szechuan Open Kitchen is located off of Burnside, just across the street from the Gresham Fred Meyer and Walmart, tucked in the back corner of the parking lot, near Clackamas County Bank. Parking is always available. We've been coming here for years. They offer a large menu organized by your protein- pork, chicken, beef, seafood, and vegetarian. So many options from appetizers to entrees. We've always enjoyed everything we've ordered. Our favorites are the honey walnut prawns (ask for spicy) and the shredded pork with black bean sauce. I love honey walnut shrimp and I haven't found it on any Chinese restaurant menu on the east side of town. I've only found honey walnut prawns at restaurants on 82nd in Portland or in Beaverton. If you're in the Gresham area and don't want to drive into Portland, stop here for honey walnut prawns. The shredded pork is tender and so flavorful! We always go there for this dish. I stick to just ordering the entrees as rice is included. Hot tea is served with your meal, whether you're dining solo or with a group. The restaurant has tons of seating. Great place for family dinners. There are often birthday parties or some type of celebration when we're there. Wine, beer and mixed drinks are available. Reasonable prices! Szechuan Open Kitchen offers online ordering and delivery through DoorDash and Postmates. read more

Delicious. Huge portions. Free soda refills. Service was friendly, but our server was kinda forgetful (we had to ask twice for to-go boxes and three times for a soda refill (the restaurant wasn't busy, mostly empty). They are able to accommodate groups if 8-10 people at one table. read more

The Mongolian beef and the walnut chicken are awesome. Fiance loved their crab puffs and pot stickers too! The service is really good and Winnie is very helpful in helping us decide our meal It's cool we get to watch the cooks prepare the food, the ambiance is great. read more

Mushy weird chicken, kung pao was not spicy-breaded?, gross. Peanuts tasted old. Hot and spicy soup was ok but portion was really small. Third time trying this place, different food orders every time. Not worth the money. read more

We haven't eaten from this restaurant since the pandemic started. Our food was amazing! It was always good before but it was just amazing. I do not feel like their prices have gone up. The portions are huge, even with takeout. We got two meals and it could have easily fed 4 adults. And we eat well, my husband is over 6ft and eats like a tall man eats! I really can not get over how flavorful it all was. The cashew chicken was so good, I will always order that from now on! We also got the chicken chowmein. The noodles had that really good sort of Smokey flavor. read more

Just okay. Don't order the fried rice. It's just not worth it. Kinda flavorless (no soy sauce or anything) and had shredded chicken which isn't my favorite. Chow mein smelled of fish sauce so while it tasted okay, my mouth was not watering. Green bean chicken was the star of the meal. Honestly the only reason I gave this place 3 stars. If I was in a pinch, I'd order this and nothing else (comes with steamed rice), call it a day. I think I'll continue searching for better Chinese food in Gresham tbh. read more

Service was wonderful but both my friend and I ordered chicken dishes. They were both overly coated in cornstarch gelatin that really covered any flavors. read more

Used to be our go to for a large family dinner. Great service and amazing food made fresh to order. The kids can watch the kitchen make their food in the window (hence the open kitchen name) which keeps them entertained a bit. There seems to be a staff change & the food is not the same. We stopped going. It's sad read more

I just had a DoorDash delivery from this restaurant. Everything came hot perfect very large portions and extremely delicious. This is my number one spot in Gresham. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a Chinese food in the Gresham Barlow area. I wanted to take pictures, but my son jumped into it way too quick. We had the wonton soup which was delicious the lemon chicken which was delicious and the fried rice which was enough for a whole entire family. I thought at first it was kind of expensive but everything is now it is but the servings they give you are enormous and definitely worth the money. read more

They don't have egg foo young on their menu but they said they could still make some and it was the best I've ever had this place is amazing

The last few times we have ordered we have noticed the quality has dropped unfortunately. My favorite lemon chicken is just breading with a tiny sliver meat. Just really disappointing. read more

Ordered General Tso's mushy, bland, chicken special (which is usually crispy and spicey) and special shrimp white fried rice which was tasteless, and steamed with scattered peas, and tiny carrots pieces. Disgusting. We tried it and it was so unappetizing that we disposed of it. The meal was bland and tasteless. Really disappointed. We are familiar with this meal. We will not order from this restaurant again. We lost 46.00. read more

The food here is very gross. I ordered Kung Pao Chicken and for some reason they deep fry theirs with no vegetables and very little sauce. The fryer oil you could smell after the Togo container lid was removed. It's the smell and taste oil gets when it's past it's useful life and should be changed. Potstickers we're filled with grisly fatty meat with an off putting flavor. At least they didn't put peas and carrots in the Kung Pao read more

I ordered the cashew chicken. The portion was large and easily fed two. It had good flavor and would order again, except for one big issue I have. I had a hard time finding any meat, and when I did find some, it was just a sliver. It was at least 90% breading! It wasn't cheap either. $15.99. Most places that I've ordered cashew chicken from have been non breaded. It's like this place figured out a way to save money thinking nobody would notice. I noticed!! read more

This is an unexpected gem that is hard to find at first but once you eat here you'll be coming back forever! I have loved this restaurant since I was a little kid, even hosting the majority of my birthday dinners here! My goto is always crab puffs, egg flower soup, and the happy family. The service is amazing, and the ambiance is peaceful. I could not recommend this restaurant more and I can't wait to eat there when I'm in town! Do yourself a favor and try it today. read more

The 'take out menu' I picked up with my order A WEEK AGO IS TOTALLY INACCURATE! 'Ma la Chicken Special' description says..... 'Spicy. Spicy chicken slices sauteed with snow pea and black mushroom'. YES! That's correct, BUT.... what they DON'T TELL YOU that it's also filled with little corns and carrots. A LOT OF THEM! They hide these 'inexpensive ingredients' so they can give you a VERY SMALL amount of the more expensive chicken breast! I've been going here for YEARS! (over 15), and this is FALSE ADVERTISING! I'm done with them! read more

Absolutely delicious and fresh from the hot and sour soup to the veggies and the orange chicken and chow mein. There wasn't one thing ordered that wasn't made perfectly the way we like it. So glad a friend recommended this place to us. read more

Subpar Chinese food. They have no options at all and no combo meals. Their fried rice is not fried at all. It's some white rice tossed with some soy sauce. They only have white rice as their side options. Absolutely basic white rice not sticky rice just white rice . I hope you want eight servings of mushy sesame chicken because that's exactly what you're gonna get for $16. Prepare to be very disappointed. God help you if you're just one person wanting some Chinese food and you don't want panda express. Although panda express would be better than this. in fact, just save your money and travel a little further down Powell to Wok In off Main Street. read more

The restaurant is tucked into the corner of a strip mall. The mirrors running the length of the restaurant help brighten up the space. Decor, primarily the booths, is dated 1980s mauve floral. Lunch itself was ok. Vegetarian options are extremely limited. Many interesting dishes on the lunch menu offer a choice protein but tofu isn't among the choices, unlike at other Chinese restaurants. Menu also lacks descriptions. After I ordered ma po tofu, thinking it would include more veg than a sprinkle of chopped scallions, I wound up ordering a second dish so that I could have some vegetables. Spent more than intended for lunch but at least I have leftovers. Service was spotty. read more

Very subpar borderline sad Chinese food. All of the dishes are not what you expect. Don't get the honey walnut shrimp or the Mapo tofu because the name is a lie. The orange shrimp and General Tso's chicken are also very disappointing. This place is way too expensive for what you get. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

We just happened to be in Gresham to pick up a laptop and I decided to look for lunch. I was excited to see that gluten free options were listed on the menu and they had breaded GF options. I haven't been able to find many restaurants that offer them since we left the Seattle area. I got the GF orange chicken and my spouse got the Happy Family. The egg flower soup was full of fluffy egg and definitely met our standards for good soup. The orange chicken was quite good, with crispy breading but tender chicken chunks. The lunch portions are a good size and a good value. Very happy I found this restaurant. We'll be back when we're in the area. read more
