My dad and stumbled into this restaurant today. Wasn't on my radar at all. But when you go into a Szechuan restaurant and there's an old lady visible in the kitchen pulling noodles by hand you should probably eat there. The lunch special is a real value given the quality of food. Great big hunks of breaded chicken swimming in really terrific sauce with very fresh produce. The noodles were chewy and delicious. Attentive and helpful staff. We will definitely be back. read more

Szechuan Spice is a solid go-to for quick, flavorful Chinese food in the Houston/Pearland area. Customer service stood out right away the host was very welcoming, patient, and took the time to answer all of our questions. Since we ordered takeout, they even offered us a place to sit while we waited, which I appreciated. Here's what we ordered: * House Lo Mein - $14.99 * Stir-Fry Flat Noodles w/ Beef - $13.99 * Sweet & Sour Pork - $15.99 * Crab Cheese Puffs - $5.59 Total came out to about $54.74, which is pretty reasonable for the portion sizes and variety. The food overall was flavorful and fresh. The noodles were cooked well and had a nice balance of sauce without being too heavy. The sweet & sour pork had that classic crispy texture with a bold sauce. The crab cheese puffs were decent crispy on the outside and creamy inside but I do wish they had a little more crab flavor to really elevate them. One small detail I loved: the to-go bags. They were sturdy, well-designed, and matched the restaurant's aesthetic definitely gives that extra polished touch. Overall: Great service, solid food, and good value. Perfect for a casual takeout spot when you want something quick but still quality. read more

It's been about 3 years since I've been here and I just want to say that it's so great how much this place has maintained its consistency of food. The egg drop soup is one of the best here. The XLB was amazing. The couples tendon was refreshingly spicy and great texture. And the mapo tofu, just fine. I enjoyed my solo date here enjoying some of my favorites and it was so comforting eating all of this. I'll definitely be back for sure on my next trip. I just wished that they kept the steam egg dish. It was my all time favorite, however they discontinued back in 2021 I think. read more

The salt and pepper shakers were filthy. They replaced with clean ones but the vibe was ruined for me.

I ordered the Singapore noodles with chicken n shrimp as well as light on the oil recently togo. Very moist, soft, plentiful in ingredients and very delicious with a curry spice vibe to it. The protein in it was very well-cooked. The noodles were the most exciting part of the dish imo being very tasty, savory with enough cumin spice and thin like angel hair. The service was very friendly and efficient. read more

Beautiful restaurant I really enjoyed this place. I went with Family and we had an amazing time. The service was good and the food was so delicious we especially loved the fried shrimp.

Szechuan Spice - Szechuan Near Me - Pearland, Texas

The house special singapore noodles is my go to meal at Szechuan Spice. Thin, stir-fried rice vermicelli with a distinct savory, slightly spicy, aromatic curry flavor with pork, chicken and shrimp. Three favor pepper chicken is excellent and the Dan dan noodles were ok. Service was great. I was introduced to a point system where you get discounts on your purchases. The soft glow of the overhead lights created a warm ambiance that encourage me to linger. The staff is friendly and I will definitely go back to visit. read more

I've had this twice now to go. They're open quite late and is busy everytime I swing in. I love eggplant garlic sauce and orange beef. I do enjoy their 3 pepper fried chicken but normally the amount of chicken is not a whole lot compared to orange chicken. The eggplant dish is plentiful and flavorful. The food comes in a nice reusable to go bag which has come in handy for me already. read more

Szechuan Spice - Orange beef and Eggplant With Garlic Sauce - Szechuan Near Me - Pearland, Texas

Might need to make this a monthly routine with visiting Jason and Lyndsey after shopping. Had not ate and Lyndsey recommended Szechuan Spice, this is her go to. Place is nice conveniently located in strip center. I was open to trying their usual go to meal. Consisting of: Three Favor Pepper Chicken and Beef stir friend udon. The Three Favor Pepper Chicken is their specialty, when I walked in, I saw a couple of tables with it. The presentation is nice, it comes in a cornucopia. The popcorn styled fried chicken is spiced with garlic, dried chili and peppercorn. All blend well that we almost finished it all in one sitting. Was able to have some as leftovers for lunch the next day. My only gripe was that it had a ton of dried chili's. (Reason for the one less star) The beef stir fried udon was just as flavorful and enjoyed every bit along with the company! I can taste why it's their usual go to meal. Aside from the excessive dried chili's (I like spice, but at some point, the chili's just become overbearing) I wouldn't change a thing. I had packed my food to go and forgot to take it with me. Thankfully they answered quickly and told them I forgot my food but was on my way back to pick it up. When I returned, it was waiting at the entry. read more

Everything was exceptional on this Sunday midday visit to Szechuan Spice restaurant ! This was my first visit and it did not disappoint. From the onset of arriving we were seated immediately and the environment was comfortable and attention was immediate. My friend and I ordered the chili oil wontons and couples tendon for apps, which is always a MUST order for me when visiting any authentic Szechuan spot, and though I've had better wontons, the couples tendon was a 10 outta 10, along with the Singapore noodles ( we ordered the combination and got an extra spice level added) - sooo good, and ordered the crispy spicy fish.. Very crispy , flavorful, and not too spicy as to overwhelm the fish! Excellent!! If you're ever in Pearland , a time well spent!! read more

I didn't expect to find decent Chinese food outside of Chinatown, especially in pearland, but Szechuan Spice delivered. Boasting a huge menu, it would probably take me several visits to try even half their options. For this visit I went with the beef flat noodles, the orange beef, and the salt and pepper calamari. The salt and pepper calamari was my favorite order. The dish came out with large pieces of crispy and balanced calamari rings sitting on a bed of vegetables. The dish wasn't too salty and can definitely be eaten without rice. The crunch and flavor of the calamari was amazing and the vegetables complimented the squid perfectly. The orange beef also impressed me. The breading on the beef has a very subtle crunch and the sauce is flavorful and sweet. This is a dish best eaten with rice. The flat noodles were a good dish to have as a side to balance out the flavors of the others but was relatively lacking in flavor on its own. I've had better flat noodles with a smokier taste, which is my personal preference. The service was quick, and the place wasn't busy at all on a Saturday night. The restaurant had a calm and relaxing atmosphere and pretty quiet. 7/10 for now, but I definitely need to try more items here since I'm sure I haven't tried the best of what Szechuan Spice has to offer. read more

The food was hot and ready pretty quickly. The orange chicken - no flavor whatsoever. I appreciated they used some chicken breast pieces. The sauce is very sweet, almost close to sweet & sour sauce and without a hint of spice when regular spicy was requested. Shrimp & broccoli - the shrimp was overcooked and again, no flavor. Fried rice - no flavor, no onions, no green onions, only eggs. The rice wasn't even coated properly with soy sauce. Spicy fish - full of flavor and the best dish we purchased. We spent over $60 on these meals only for one dish to taste good. We definitely won't be back. read more

Pearland has upgraded with this Sichuan restaurant. No longer do I need to go all the way to Houston for decent Chinese food. I have been coming every now and then since they opened a few years ago, and I think they have found their stride and delivering consistently tasty food now. They specialize in Sichuan spicy dishes (obviously), and I must say that the dishes from that cuisine are done very well here. Here are my recommendations: water boiled fish, pork in garlic sauce, eggplant in garlic sauce, and three pepper chicken. I would say these dishes are on par with the best Chinese restaurants that I have been to. One note, the three pepper chicken has a bit too much batter to chicken ratio. Other dishes I enjoyed are the mapo tofu and walnut shrimp. I was unfortunately disappointed with the sizzling black pepper beef. It just was not very flavorful. The service is quick and attentive. The decor is in line with most other modern Chinese restaurants. Looking forward to the next visit! read more

We went here with a party of 12 after Christmas, the food is absolutely incredible with amazing flavors and variety's. Our favorites were the veggie dry pot which was more flavorful than usual dry pots you get as well as the three pepper chicken making a delicious dish that you can't stop eating. The service was on point with fantastic friendly waiters. And finally, the ambiance was cozy with a cool culture atmosphere . This was definitely a great experience and we will be coming back soon! read more

This was my first time ordering from here. The chicken was a bit soggy, but the sauce had great flavor. The fried rice was also really good. I might give this restaurant another try to see if it's better next time. read more

Szechuan Spice - General TSO - Szechuan Near Me - Pearland, Texas

So normally I would go to Chinatown to get my spicy kick in but wanted to try something around Pearland. This gem is WORTH it. First, the spice level is PERFECT. Although some could argue to make it spicier, I like mine where I know I can feel it and still enjoy the tingling sensation and quality of food at the same time. Second, the portions are HUGE. We ordered: -three favor chicken -boiled slice fish -Singapore rice noodles -mapo tofu I love the presentation and creativity that was put into it. The crispy layers of the chicken coated with the seasoning were delicious and the tangy sauce with the boiled fish was phenomenal. Could never go wrong with the mapo tofu and the sauce was thick! (Usually it's watered down elsewhere so I appreciated the fact that it was flavorful this time). We came on a Sunday morning and it was slightly busy. But the servers were very helpful and made rounds as needed. The place itself is huge and cozy. 12/10 recommendations around Pearland. Also - better to come dine in than ordering online due to portion difference read more

Yes baby!! I love this place. The food is delicious. My favorite to eat here would be the fried chicken with 3 different types of peppers, the Mongolian beef and the orange chicken. It is best eaten at the restaurant when you can still enjoy the crispiness. But I have ordered it for home and it's still delicious even if some of the crisp is gone. The service is wonderful here. They are very attentive. Overall, I love it, parking is great, food is delicious and I will return. Since being introduced, I've eaten here 4 more times. read more

I have been sleeping on this restaurant. So happy Uber Eats was running a promotion and I decided to try this spot. Very good food. BEEF LO MEIN I wish we had option to make spicy or add comments in Uber Eats. I had to call to request for it to be made spicy and they were accommodating. Just inconvenient to have to take that extra step to call the restaurant. They are pretty quick preparing the food once order is placed. VERY TASTY! I would definitely order this again. Definitely made top three lo mein in Houston. SHRIMP FRIED RICE A bit overcooked both the rice and the shrimp was really overcooked but huge. You get about five pieces. The spice was the same as the beef lo mein. They use jalapeño slices. Doesn't really work as well with rice as it does with the the noodle dish. I am glad I ordered this to try and it is edible but wouldn't order again if that makes sense. EGG DROP SOUP Haven't tried but it has the color and consistency I like which is a great sign. PORK AND SHRIMP SHUMAI Where was the shrimp? It was one big huge meatball. Unless both the pork and shrimp were ground. I did not like this even with the dipping soy sauce accompaniment. I have had way better. Wouldn't order again. Overall I would be back and stick to what I enjoyed. read more

We ended up at Szechuan Spice for our Christmas dinner. Not our typical routine but do to some random events, here we sat. Surprisingly, the place was almost full and to-go orders flowed all night. Seemed to be a pretty good sign that the food was good. We started with some egg rolls and ordered Szechuan pepper beef, Mongolian beef and Orange chicken. We also had the steamed rice, fried rice and vegetable lo mein. The egg rolls were tiny and basic 4/10. All the entrees were solid 8/10 each. Not the best I've had but would order all of them again. The beef meals were both nice and spicy like we like it. Rice is rice but was cooked well and so was the lo mein. I'd say this is a solid 4 star spot. They have beer and wine options too. Service was real friendly and as good as you could ask for, especially considering how busy they were. I'm sure we will be back. My wife liked it a lot. read more

I did family style with my friend and split the beef lo mein, chicken fried rice, and soup baos. All of the food was super tasty and nothing was left behind. The portions were a good size too and I felt full after finishing our food. My only critique was the lo mein and fried rice were really greasy even though I'm used to eating this style of food. Overall, the service was great. Our server was super kind and took time to answer all our questions regarding the menu and gave good recommendations. The restaurant itself has a lot of space to sit and parts of the venue are dimly lit and would make a perfect place for a casual dinner date with a partner or small group of friends. I also saw a lot of people doing to-go so this may be a good place to order from when you don't want to cook for a meal! read more

**This is a 3.5-star review.** Excellent atmosphere. Wonderful service. And the food is good. I've always liked a Chinese joint that serves Tsing Tao. Sure, it's the Budweiser of China, but still... The hot & sour soup here has good tang, a little spice and plenty of crisp tender veggies and velvety egg and tofu strands. Outstanding. Calamari is batter-fried. Nicely crisp and mostly tender. The Szechuan eggplant is also delicious. -- The soup bao, however, is a lame attempt. Do they taste OK? Sure. But the broth was non-existent. (Look at my photo, and you'll see these poor soup dumplings trying feverishly to stand upright.) I've enjoyed soup dumplings in multiple Chinatowns, and a few others locally that really get there for the Yen. These don't. But this joint still earns high praise for its ability to put other -- traditional -- Americanized Chinese food on the table. If I lived closer, I'd be a regular. Still, I plan to make this place a part of my occasional weekend plan. read more

This place really blew us away! The food was delicious - we got the hot and sour soup, biang biang noodles, the beef chow fun, the beef pan fried bao, and the Peking duck. My favorites were the chow fun and the biang biang noodles. The hot and sour soup was also very good, and the skin on the Peking duck was AMAZING - so crunchy. The beef pan fried bao unfortunately were not the most flavorful and were a bit greasy. So, we won't be ordering that again. But, everything else was seriously delicious and we will definitely be returning again soon! read more

Szechuan Spice - Szechuan Near Me - Pearland, Texas

I felt like this place was very unprofessional. We ordered the red oil wontons and on their menu, It did not say that it contained peanuts. When it came out, we asked for a new one due to one of our family members being allergic to peanuts. The server said he could wash it off and we were like " no he is allergic. He cannot eat it at all. It will still have the peanut residue and it was all in the sauce.". And then he tried to blame us and said we should've paid attention to the menu but on the menu the red oil wontons did not include any captions below it. After, he didn't say anything & walked away with the dish, came back with a new one with no peanuts. This time, we could tell they rushed it because the inside was frozen! We paid and left after that. read more

We have wanted to try this restaurant for a while. Food was awesome and great customer service! We will definitely be back.

I had passed across this restaurant many times. It has a darkish feel from outside because of the glass, and that always discouraged me, but once you enter you will see that its not so dark. It was one of those days when you hop from one food place to another and wonder why are they ALL closed on Tuesdays and why can't they just mention it online ... Finally took the courage to enter Szechuan Spice. Its neat and tidy. Not so crowded and we had someone help us to our table almost immediately. They carry decent vegetarian options but you Must clearly specify if you want NO oyster suce, fish oil or any kind if fish sauce. You'd think Its easier to ask for vegan options, but a lot of them speak Mandarin, they do their best to help you, but I was doubtful every time I placed an order if they knew what exactly I was trying to say - apparently they did, because the dishes that arrived matched what we asked for , including an egg on the side and not mixed in the food. We got the Lomein, it was very tasty. Simple ingredients but very tasty. The mixed vegetables with Lotus root was customized for us, and it was very good. If you want tofu in any dish, they gave a $2, $3 and $5 option, we took the $2 and it was quite decent. My phone died and I could not take many pics, though I managed to click the dish that impressed me the most- the Lotus mixed vegetables curry with tofu. This dish comes with white rice Good food, very fast service. I'd recommend it. read more

Staff was very attentive and brought us everything we asked for in a timely manner (there were 5 of us and we ordered family style and shared across the table) but still was so much food but it was so incredibly worth it.

At my favorite Szechuan restaurant, Szechuan Spice. We ordered Salt and Pepper Shrimp, Bok Choy in garlic sauce, Spicy Edamame and always start with Hot & Sour soup for two. I'm in heaven. The shrimp are jumbo in a light tempura crust and so delicious. I love Bok Choy in garlic sauce, I could eat this every day. Love the crunch never over cooked. The edamame is cover in chilli sauce, oh so good. We really enjoy their Hot and Sour soup. The service is always excellent. They are all so nice and friendly.
