Still fantastic. Everything I've had has been great. The best is their sweet and pungent shrimp, Kung Pao and cashew chicken. Soups are great as well. Always friendly service. Been going for over 25 years. Great portion sizes for lunch specials too. You see all the retired community come in for lunch to have their left over dinner for later. Hope they at least tip well. read more

It was time to try a new Chinese restaurant, in Simi Valley. Walking in, there was no exciting welcome or greeting. One hostess who was on her phone at the register and one server, who was either in a bad mood or did not wish to be there. I was here for lunch and in such situations, like to go for the lunch special. Smaller portions with a try on different addiitonal components that they can offer. For the soup, I chose the egg flower. Came out at the right temperature, but pale in color with only egg whites and a few grains of corn. The broth seemed to taste like the diet version, clearly needed more salt. My main dish was the fish in black bean sauce, with fried rice, salad and a wonton. All comes on one plate, actually very nicely presented. The fish was tender, the vegetables crunchy and the sauce well balanced. Fried rice, though luke warm, was still good. I asked for chili paste or chili oil and was curtly presented with Sriracha sauce. This is not only callous but insulting. Say you do not have it, instead of dumping a container with the wrong presentation. What totally killed this dining experience was the service, from start to finish. No smiling. Abrupt. Mechanical. Attitude. Uninviting. And therefore, unmemorable and unrepeatable. read more

First of all, the service here sucks so bad. First mistake the waiter was rushing and spilt the fried noodles for appetizer on my wife's lap. And all through the time we're he keeps saying sorry sorry to all of the customers. So rude attitude. When our order came he just set them on the edge of the table at front. And furthermore, there's a family four that had been sitting there at their table 10 minutes before us, and they had not yet gotten their order, until the man stood up to tell the guy sitting at the front that they needed to order. He just went to call the girl or waitress. This is the first and last visit i will ever make to this restaurant. The fried rice was so greasy. The waiter who served the food almost touched with his thumb the food that was served same with the tea cups. read more

Szechuwan Garden Restaurant - Greasy chicken fried rice. - Chinese Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Wow. This is the first time I have ever considered calling my bank and demanding a charge back for how utterly horrible the food was. I have been going to Szechuwan Garden for over 20 years. Their food quality goes up and down and we've stopped going a couple times but tonight was the last time I will go there. A $140 meal for four was essentially water. Watery sauces, watery mustard and the biggest, grossest issue was watery sweet and sour sauce. I've never once considered posting a video to Yelp, but when you see the sauce you will see why. Sweet and sour sauce is supposed to be thick and warm. This was essentially cold, red, water. It flow right off the fried chicken and pools in the bowl. We usually order extra so we have it for lunch the next day. Not this time. If any one has suggestions for good Chinese food near Simi I'm all ears because this was revolting. read more

I only tried two dishes here, but it's kind of middle of the road for me. Service is good. Everything was done promptly packaged well portions were great, but particularly the beef and broccoli was kind of a bland read more

Our regular go to Chinese restaurant was closed today so we ordered takeout from here tonight. The food was pipping hot when we got it home, but unfortunately everything we ordered was bland. We got chicken egg foo young, beef and broccoli, and combination lo mein, and each entree was so bland. One other thing was none of us understood the sayings in the fortune cookies. read more

1st time trying this place out, also last time I'll ever order from here. Low quality food, tasteless, no seasonings or marinate of any kind, bland food! Service was okay, picked up food to go, will never come back! read more

Our go-to Chinese restaurant! We always order takeout and have never been disappointed with the taste or serving sizes. Service is super quick so we never have to wait long to pick up our order. We love their Kung pao chicken and sesame chicken! We tried two new things this time - the 3 chili chicken and the chicken and broccoli. The 3 chili chicken is very spicy! We normally find anything up to the 2 chilis on their menu quite mild (and having to add chili oil), but this is true to scale! The chicken and broccoli was bland with an off texture - it tasted like boiled chicken and luckily we mixed it in with the 3 chili chicken to make up for it. read more

My family has been enjoying the food and service at this place for years. Great people, great food. I'll never try anywhere else in Simi for Chinese food. read more

Good customer service. Server was nice, joked around with the kids/baby and attentive. Food was mediocre. Can't comment it was super special but they have a variety of options. They can make gluten free options as well. Ambience was quiet. Had a larger group which they accommodated for. One downside is that they do not have a baby changing station in the bathroom. That would be appreciated and make it more a family friendly place' read more

We gathered with several friends for a belated Chinese New Year celebration. We called ahead, and they easily accommodated us. One lady ordered pot stickers and chicken skewers as an appetizer, but our server did not note the quantity, so portions were tasty but skimpy. Another guest ordered the special rice for the table. It was good fried-rice-type dish, but it wasn't my favorite. Everyone enjoyed the walnut shrimp, and we should have gotten a double order. The cashew and kung pao chicken dishes were also very good, but could have used more vegetables. Also, we ordered the kung pao mild, and it came out pretty bland. All in all, the food was good and shareable for 8 people, with some leftovers. We split the bill which came out to about $20 per person, including tax and tip. read more

The ABSOLUTE BEST CHINESE FOOD!!!! Thank you so much for ALWAYS serving up Fantastic meals!!! And making every holiday so special! You're Always open and serving Delicious food and you have never disappointed us with all of your amazing recommendations! The food is 5 star!! 100%!!!! read more

Szechuwan Garden Restaurant - Honey Walnut Shrimp is a must!!! Shrimp and noodles, wontons, egg rolls and bbq pork fried rice and OH!!!! My shu pork! - Chinese Near Me - Simi Valley, California

We've been going to this place and ordering takeout from here for years. The food is very good. Their prices are very reasonable and all the employees there are very helpful and friendly. It's a great place to go to have a nice relaxing enjoying meal and it shouldn't break the bank. read more

Excellent! I'm a Chinese food snob and have tasted some of the best around the country. For Simi Valley, which is a culinary wasteland, Szechuwan Garden is a welcome surprise. I have sampled most of their dishes and find them delicious. Ingredients are fresh (shrimp, vegetables), service is very prompt, portions are ample and prices very reasonable. The lunch specials are a bargain compared to fast food meals that are more expensive and way less satisfying. Highly recommend! read more

The food here is always delicious and the prices are good! When you go in, service is great, and the place is always nice and clean. Their delivery service is always so fast! Enjoy!! read more

Food is the best and people are so nice.better then any Chinese restaurant i have had. Five stars

If my husband and I could give this place negative stars we would! The meal we ordered today was awful! It had no flavor and for what we paid for you would expect it would have the best taste but there was nothing! All it gave us was a very expensive stomach ache. We will NOT spend any more money here and we suggest no one else does either. This review has nothing to do with the service because they were very nice it's just the taste in food is what lacks. read more

NO RICE with entree for take out?!? Smh. Two entrees and pot stickers $46 no rice. Kung Pao chicken had a light brown mushy coating, possibly some onion in the sauce, mainly water Chestnuts a few dry old chilis and peanuts and NO veggies, no bell peppers. Weird. Almost no flavor at all save a little background spice if you ate a chili otherwise cheap greasy flavored meat. Sesame beef tasted like the flour it was dredged in, and had like three or four slivers of red onion in the container. Potstickers were ok, I'm loathe to say this was a decent part of the meal. Reading this many reviews for this place from people out of the area makes me suspicious of these five star reviews. Not the best of Simi Chinese, not the best of anything. Compared to Panda Express this place is a poor local spot for those who don't want balance or spice. read more

What happened to this place? We have always enjoyed the food here, but last night ordered delivery. I will say that the spare ribs were good, but the other 3 dishes lo mein, beef w/ oyster sauce and veg fried rice were VILE! Food seemed like it was prepared and sitting around for days. Definitely not fresh and I definitely will not be ordering from here again. 0 stars if I could read more

Stopped last Saturday while out running errands. They have great and reasonable priced lunch specials. A lot of choices for entrees that come with soup, small salad and a choice of steamed or fried rice. Our servicer was friendly. We got our food quickly read more

This food was amazing. I had leftovers. It was a big amount. I recommend this place. They were so nice. I love Chinese food. This is the best Chinese place in Simi Valley. I do recommend it thank you guys so much for welcoming me and I will definitely be back. :) read more

Szechuwan Garden Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Just drove across town to pick up my order. Bbq pork was try and old while the noodles and beef in the beef lo mein was slimy. Two plates of beef and noodles and the amount of meat was pathetic then when I called to talk to them they were passing the phone back and forth pretending they didn't understand what I was saying. Very bummed at the lack of pride taken in the service and food of this restaurant. read more

Rude people here. My sister went online to order takeout for pickup for a family of four. I drove there to pick up our food. It wasn't ready yet. I asked for a glass of water to drink while I waited. They said they didn't have any. Not they were too busy to accommodate my request. THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY WATER. Mind you, I'm standing next to a fish tank as this woman is telling me this. I texted my sister, who promptly called to cancel the order. She told them if they don't have any water, their employees can't wash their hands, and it's not safe to eat there. It took a while to get our refund because when you order online you go through a third party vendor, but we eventually got our money back. I will not be returning. read more

Szechuwan Garden Restaurant - the menu - Chinese Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Ordered takeaway from here the other night and I was quite impressed! The order was ready and on the counter when we got there and made for an easy pickup. We got a feast: fried wontons, wonton strips, BBQ pork with broccoli, walnut crispy shrimp, sesame chicken, vegetable lo mein, and Singapore rice noodles. Everything was soooo good! My faves were definitely the walnut crispy shrimp, which came with candied walnuts and pineapple, and the veggie lo mein. The shrimp was crispy and juicy and the veggie lo mein was noodle perfection! Parking was super easy, as it's in a large strip mall with abundant parking. Can't wait to come back and order more! Interested in trying some of the other stuff on the menu. It seems like you can't go wrong with anything here! read more

This place has the best hot and sour soup I've ever had! Main dishes are delish, too. I stop in once a month when in Oxnard for business. Great service, fair prices, and great food. Would get 5 stars but they have you eat with plastic utensils which I'm not a big fan of. read more

Visited 12/25/2019 This review is for takeout only. A good 3 1/2 Star Chinese restaurant. Getting food on Christmas isn't the easiest these days but these guys took good care of us and delivered ready to eat. For the most part the food was good. The potstickers were not that good with the skins far to thick tasting like raw dough. They were friendly and didn't mess up our order. Worth a try. read more

Food is really great. But man, the lady who takes phone orders is soooo rude! I do understand there is an accents. We both do. So am trying my best to understand her, but she's not trying her best to understand me. I was trying to order the Sauteed Triple Delight and she was not a delight to talk to. I tried saying the number in the menu, she said "I don't have number give me real name" I have been to several asian restaurant being asian myself, so i know when they are just having a normal loud conversation or just really rude. And this lady is rude. RUDE. Every. Time!!!! read more

First of all in contrast to many other reviews we got good service by an older man and lady. We were attended to well though we were also the first people coming in for dinner. There was a point where one of the ladies yelled across the room to one of the men though. The food itself wasn't good and I'm not sure whether they're understaffed in the back or if it was the rush of people coming in after us, but as someone who knows Chinese food, it saddens me to say that Panda Express is better in quality and consistency than this. The pricing of the food does not reflect the quality either though you do get a large portion. My table ordered several things including Salt and Pepper Fried Pork Chops, Kung Pao Chicken, Orange Chicken, Shrimp Fried Rice, Chow Mein, White Rice, Walnut Crispy Shrimp, Szechuan Garlic Shredded Beef, Honey Spicy Shrimp, and Steamed Dumplings. Out of all these dishes, the only notable one was the Shrimp Fried Rice where the shrimp was really well cooked. The rest of the dishes were seemingly overpowering either with sugar, salt, or just lacked any flavor. Even with the spicy dishes, there was no spice at all. Good fried salt and pepper pork chops normally have a golden brown color when fried at the right temperature, but they were instead overcooked being darker brown and most notably dry and without salt and pepper. Very chewy and no flavor at all. The Kung Pao Chicken had a lot on the plate, but the flavor itself was way too salty to be palatable even when trying to even it out with white rice. The same can be said of the Szechuan Garlic Shredded Beef. There was no depth to it all it or hint of garlic, but it was just sweet for some reason. The Orange Chicken was expectedly sweet and actually had a hint of orange in the flavor, but there was way too much sugar in it. The Walnut Crispy Shrimp came in a bowl made of eggroll wrap that was fried, but my god Panda Express's Honey Walnut Shrimp is better than this. The sauce on this was so overpowering in sweetness and sugar that it wasn't palatable. It literally tasted like donut glaze. The same could be said of the Honey Spicy Shrimp, there was literally no spice in that dish since there was so much sugar. The steamed dumpling appetizer honestly was REALLY flavorless even with the sauce. Overall, I'd never go here again for the food unless there was a drastic change in quality. You would save much more money and enjoy more going to literally Panda Express or possibly any other Chinese Takeout place that isn't in Simi like those in Rowland Heights. Thats how bad the food was to me and I know good Chinese food. I really wanted to give them a chance and this was just really disappointing. read more
