I opted for takeout during my first visit to Tempe, AZ and decided to give this place a try. The prices were fair, and the portion sizes were generous. I went with the lunch special, but was surprised to learn that the soup wasn't available for takeout--I had to eat it on the spot inside the restaurant. While the food was enjoyable overall, especially the hot and sour soup, I had to rush through it since my main order was already packed and ready to go. The owners appeared rather distant and not very engaging--almost robotic in their interaction. While there's nothing major to complain about, I would suggest that in a service-oriented industry like this, a bit more warmth and attentiveness toward customers would go a long way. The ambiance was just ok. read more

I'm not saying it's spicy, but my mouth just filed for divorce from the rest of my body. The food here isn't that spicy. I just wanted to say it is. Four of us came here recently to celebrate my mom's birthday. Salt & pepper calamari, beef chow fun, spicy shrimp hot pot, and some kind of pork kidney dish was ordered. I've been here once before but I forgot how good the salt & pepper calamari was. The beef chow fun was also amazing. They cook was gas and wok here so you know that "wok hei" is on point here. You can never make chow fun or fried rice with the same smoky flavor with electric. I will say that the peppercorns here aren't tongue numbing. I like this place though. I can't believe I forgot about them until now. read more

I am very sad to say that this restaurant has closed. We loved this place and will really miss it. I am attaching the notice from the door. It looks like it may be the some of the same people working here but with new management. I hope so as Tina and Mike provided great food and great service. The new restaurant opens on 2/1 and will feature hand made noodles. My experience with these types of restaurants has been pretty good and you can taste the difference that fresh hand made noodles provide. Wishing the new owners good luck as they open just before New Years. read more

Szechwan Garden - The closing note from Szechuan Garden - Chinese Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

As part of our Christmas tradition, we went and got Chinese food for takeout at Szechuan Garden. It was very busy. If you're thinking about coming to Szechuan Garden during the holidays order ahead and expect about a 40 minute wait for your food. But it was well worth it. We got some dishes we've had before and dishes. We've never tried. Highly recommend. read more

I ordered the cumin spiced lamb for takeout for dinner. It was excellent and there was plenty of rice. I would definitely order again. I called in for an order and it was ready in about 15 minutes on a weeknight. I saw they have great lunch specials and I definitely want to come back and try! read more

Pretty disappointing. We split the egg rolls, ground beef soup (sometimes called Westlake beef soup elsewhere), and the pork chow mein. Soup had almost no ground beef in it and was utterly flavorless, and the chow mein also had no flavor. The noodles were overly chewy and the pork was tough. We probably won't be back. read more

A bright moon and stars twinkle and shine. Wishing you a merry Mid-Autumn Festival, bliss, and happiness! Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Yelpers! Let's write a review for a Chinese restaurant. So I've been eyeing this place since I started going to FU Belly in the same plaza. As a newer fan of Szechuan peppers, I was excited to give them a try. We ordered a lot: Spicy wontons, Singapore noodles, salt & pepper calamari, and water boiled fish. While the food was cooked well and tasty, everything lacked the tongue-numbing spice that I have been craving. The food wasn't even spicy which was disappointing as well. 3.5 stars but I'll round up. I'm not sure I'll be back since I still want that mouth-numbing spice but it's solid and they still deserve some love. They have a huge menu and there's something for everybody. read more

We had their lunch special. It was very unfresh and unbeatable. We will not return again.

I loved this place, but they are currently closed due to being sold. It would have been nice for them to update this listing. It looks like it will be a noodle place when it reopens. read more

The restaurant has changed ownership. Did the previous owners open another spot. Not the same, people or food. Very expensive for lunch. New menu. read more

Our absolute favorite place for Chinese food. If you like spicy, the water boiled fish is delicious, the stir fried spicy cabbage, green beans and eggplant with garlic sauce are all very good too. The hot and sour soup is what I crave when I'm sick! For the non spicy crowd, my kids love the spicy beef noodle soup (it's not very spicy), the orange chicken, and the hot and sour soup even though it's a little spicy. read more

Ordered the eggplant with brown sauce and chili oil wontons via doordash and was really disappointed. The eggplant was not very flavorful and the sauce that came with it was on the watery side and didn't stick on the eggplant very well. The wontons came in this oily, flavorless soup form. Usually when I order chili oil wontons, I expect them to come with a more dry chili. I vaguely remember eating out at this place in person before and I don't recall it being such a bad experience so maybe it was just a fluke...I'm not sure. read more

There's a good variety of dishes to choose from, food came out quick, service was great, and the vibes were enjoyable :)

I had food in the restaurant in late May of 2025. I ordered "Red braised pork belly"。 After 10 or 15 min the food was ready. Some of the pieces of pork were still cool in side after bites. I highly doubted that dish was pre- processed or pre- prepared, not cooled in the restaurant from fresh. I read news from a reputable a US Chinese news paper, restaurants import pre - prepared foods from China. Suggest when having food in a restaurant, make sure it has an open kitchen or the food is prepared in front of you. read more

Got the orange chicken for takeout. Big portions! And tasted great! Kinda pricey though.

Recently revisited this place after moving out of state for a couple years. It was a welcome sight to see when most of their flavors still remained the same. The food was spicy but also numby, the perfect blend every time. All the dishes we ordered were made fresh and the waitress was happy to help. It was sad to see that this restaurant was once super busy but when we went it was less popular. Hoping to keep coming back to this place as it was and still is one of my favorite Szechuan places. Affordable pricing with good portions 5/5 everytime! read more

I stopped in to grab a menu on NYE day and it was suggested that we call in our order an hour or two before we wanted it. I was suspicious that would not work, but I called at 4:30 for pickup at 6 and my food was ready by 6:05. It was just being cooked when I got there. We had a 5 mile drive home, and it was still steaming when we got home with it. The food was really good and portions are generous so we have leftovers for today. The only thing I would skip next time is the scallion pancakes. They weren't bad, just not that impressive. read more

The food and service were both great! I really wanted salt and pepper tofu but didn't see it on the menu. They were able to make it for me anyways and it was delicious! They also have the best green onion pancakes I've had since moving to AZ back in 2021. Everything was hot, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. I also really like their homemade chili oil. read more

Probably the best authentic szechuan food in the area. The service is typical of a Chinese restaurant.

I found this place very close to my AZ residence and was intrigued by all of the positive reviews. I decided to check the place out and found out that one of their most popular items was Boiled Beef (水煮牛肉). It did not sound very appealing at first, but being that it was a Szechuan specialty and had many good reviews, I decided to order it. When I got to the restaurant, I noticed that some people were eating in the restaurant during the COVID-19 pandemic, which was very alarming. I walked up to the counter, picked up my Boiled Beef (~$12) which also came with a side of white rice. The dish had a nicely seasoned broth, vegetables, Beef, and chili. Upon the first few bites, I noticed that it definitely had spice and is probably spicy for people who can't handle a lot of heat, but for spicy food lovers, it required me to put some peppers to enhance the burn. As for taste, I can see why it is very popular. It was seasoned quite well, the Beef was nicely cooked, and it paired very well with the rice. The dish was also quite filling, lasted me two meals, and was very inexpensive. Your dollar takes you far at this place. I recommend the dish and the restaurant to people who like Szechuan food and people who like trying new dishes. I will defintely go back and try more at the restaurant! read more

Szechwan Garden - Boiled Beef (水煮牛肉) ~$12 - Chinese Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

As a Chinese foodie, I've been looking for a good Chinese restaurant with traditional dishes since moving to the area and have to say, I found it! Summary: Great authentic Chinese dishes, the salt and pepper squid was incredible. Great service too! The Long Version: We ordered Braised Eggplant in Brown sauce, Water Boiled Beef and Bean Curd, and Salt and Pepper Squid. The eggplant was very good (could have been braised a bit longer to improve it even more), the beef and bean curd dish was flavorful and very tender. The first two dishes came out very quickly while the salt and pepper squid took a bit longer, but it was 100% worth the wait. As the star of the show, the squid was seasoned perfectly with salt and pepper, fried to perfection but not over battered, and the squid inside was still tender. I want to try different things from the menu but I will get the squid every single time. I can't speak to their "American-style dishes" since I did not try any, but if you are looking for authentic Chinese food, you will not be disappointed. Service was great too. Even though we were seated in a further place, our server was always checking on us to give us more water and refills. I thought prices were very reasonable too. read more

This place is quite understated and nestled away in the plaza in which it is located. This is certainly a hidden gem in Phoenix and is not often talked about for their great food when talking about Chinese restaurants. While they're not in the Asian district along Dobson, you can find some good Chinese eats here. Primarily northern Chinese cuisine, everything they make here is done pretty well. My favorite dish here? The stir fry green beans! I know what you're thinking...green beans? Yes!!! Try them. You won't regret and will probably never eat greens in another way ever again. In Chinese, there's this phrase that doesn't really have a translation in English but it's the taste you get when you use a high fire to cook food. When doing so, often in a wok and heating up oil before cooking, it gives food this flavor. I don't know how to describe it but when I taste it, I know. These green beans are definitely made with this fire. A warmed up oil with garlic just makes the greatest flavor! Not only are the green beans great, water boil dishes are excellent too. It's slightly spicy but for someone who doesn't like spicy (aka me), I really like this dish. I don't think of it as a spicy but rather, more of an aromatic flavor. Sometimes, spicy dishes just numb my tongue and has no flavor. This dish has flavor with a little heat. The flavors balance very nicely. My personal favorite is the fish and beef boil. If you don't like fish, there are meat only options but there's something about fish with the broth that just make me salivate thinking about the dish. Another dish I recommend is the tea smoked duck. I don't know how to describe but it's so flavorful and moist. Sometimes duck can be try or lack flavor but this dish is the opposite. The smokiness of the tea leaves are infused in the duck that gives a complex yet understated flavor. Too be honest, I haven't tried many other dishes because I get the same 3-4 dishes every time. When something is good, it's good. Am I right? Thanks for validating my decisions! Shesh, writing this review is making me crave some Szechwan Garden! read more

Was in Arizona for family and we had heard great reviews about this place so we tried it out. It was generally empty during lunch so we were seated real quick. My family loves Szechuan food and we have been gone out of our way many a times to satisfy our Szechuan cravings (which Lowkey hit us every few weeks). I want to give a disclaimer to anyone trying to come here for the tingling peppercorn Szechuan they're expecting to know that this place feels more like the run of the mill Chinese joint rather than Szechuan. We ordered more than enough dishes and I think of them all it was really only the Water Boil Fish that stayed true to the Szechuan name. The rest were ok but didn't feel all that special. We ordered the Spicy Eggplant which ended up not tasting as cooked as we had hoped so kinda harder than expected. The Dan Dan noodles we were looking forward to but were ultimately disappointed. I think our expectations were just too high. Out of everything we ordered, there was maybe 1 dish that truly satisfied our cravings. I do think this place is good but I likely will not be coming back read more

Severely disappointed by the customer service and dish that was presented to me. I ordered the broccoli and beef and my roommate ordered the Mongolian beef. Both of which had a terrible grade of beef, if you like chewy beef that quite honestly doesn't look or taste like beef then this is the place. I took a bite of the beef and a few broccoli pieces, I couldn't stomach the dish. I brought this to my servers attention and advised her I would like the meal removed from my bill to which she promptly returned disregarding my request. I went up to the register and spoke with an older who was extremely rude to me when I expressed my concerns. She then stated "this is what we do" well, I'm sorry that this is what you do...Maybe do better? read more

I'm out and about with the wife in Arizona looking for some good food. We read some amazing review on Szechwan Garden and decided to give it a try. The place is extremely clean and has overall relaxing presence. The server greeted us and answered some questions we had about items on the menu. We ordered the Chicken Chow Mein, Chicken fried rice, King Pau Chicken, and Orange Chicken. As much as I wanted to like this place the food wasn't very good. Orange chicken was soggy, Kung Pau was salty with a weird after taste, and the Chicken fried rice tasted good but had rubbery chicken pieces in it. The Chicken chow mein wasn't too bad. We couldn't finish the food and didn't want any boxes. Paid, tipped, and left. read more

Trying new food is always going to be exciting for me and I was excited to say that they serve some of Asian cuisine I like to eat. Their food are deliciously tasty with full flavors. The only down fall on this restaurant is their customer service. The wait for placing your order took a bit longer than I expected. Then off course another wait for the cooked food to be serve at my table. I'm not in the rush, but I was wondering why the long wait without the evening rush. I would say that it was worth the wait! My spicy eggplant was cooked perfectly, the fried pork shop was nice and tender, the walnut shrimp was just good and their fried rice was yummy! The food was cooked in a wok so I know it'll be delicious. There's just something about that wok! read more

This is a good place for Chinese. It's clean, great service, and an absolutely amazing menu. Today, we were in the mood for something different so, some of the selections were definitely not our usual. We were not sure we completely liked it. But we ate it for sure lol. So, that should say a lot. We did all kinds of seafood. Soft Shell Crab, shrimp on the shell, and Water Boiled Fish. Oh, let's not forget, a beer. Next time for sure, I will be back for the traditional food comforts. read more

Great service. Everything is good! Love the garlic sauce eggplant. Salt level is good, not over seasoned.

I am very disappointed by my dish. I chose the fish filet and red peppers. It comes in a large bowl. Chunks of white fish bathe in an extremely oily, viscous broth. I literally went fishing for the morsels of fish, placed them on another plate to shake the excessive coating of grease. There was a large bowl of rice for Ron and l to share. Here is 3 stars because the food portions are definitely large and the staff is really, really nice. However, my dish was gross. Ron had an orange chicken. I took a smear off his dish, it tasted like the chicken was coated with orange syrup. On another note, the place seems to be popular, there was a nice crowd at lunchtime. I've read very good reviews and l am just sad l couldn't share the same view based on my experience. read more
