I think this place is great. I always enjoy my experience. The food is great very nice portions the fish boll is excellent the seafood chowder is the bomb their garlic broccoli is awesome. I make it a point to come visit at least once a week for sure. The prices are good too. read more

Still so so delicious! I cannot understand how they are not busier. Their food, service, and prices should have them being packed! Go for a weekday lunch! Entree, soup, rice, and spring roll for $9.95! My foodie people, wake up and head to Szechwan Kitchen, alright? read more

It's been 9 months since my last order, and I decided to give this restaurant another chance. Unfortunately, this experience confirmed why I stopped coming in the first place. I spent over $50 on food, and the quality was extremely disappointing. The General Tso's chicken was basically nothing but breaded chicken pieces -- no vegetables and barely any sauce. The Orange Chicken was also dry and lacked sauce, making both dishes bland and unappetizing. To make matters worse, each entrée is supposed to come with rice, yet only a very small portion was provided. At this point, it feels like this restaurant is cutting corners and poorly managed. I'm generally not someone who leaves negative reviews, but the lack of care, consistency, and food quality is impossible to ignore. This was my last time giving this establishment my hard-earned money. I'd rather spend it somewhere that values its customers and takes pride in the food they serve. read more

Man I'm so sad I just dropped $55 asked for no onion because my guts. It's swimming in onions. I waited 30 minutes past my pick up time and it's so gross I can't eat it. Highly disappointed the orange chucked is super over done. Just big fat YUCK read more

I had high hopes for this restaurant based on other reviews, but left disappointed. To start with the good: the egg drop soup as part of my lunch special was thick, creamy and delicious. The lunch special beef dish was a large plate full of food, but the fried rice was cold/room temperature and the spring roll was also cold inside. Finally, while the dish had a wonderful flavorful aroma, it just lacked of flavor. The beef, while tender, just didn't seem to take on any of the taste from the sauce and onions surrounding it. There really was not any service once my food was delivered, and the tablecloth at my table was dirty. This is probably not a place I would come back to. read more

Went for takeout -- the prices are good, but the food wasn't as authentic as I expected. The potstickers were a little too doughy and didn't have much flavor. The Szechwan chicken sauce was sweet and didn't taste like Szechwan flavor at all. When I went in to pick up my order, the bathroom was right by the entrance and had a very unpleasant smell, kind of like underground water. I wanted to try their Szechwan specialty dishes, but after this experience, I'm not sure it's worth it. read more

Food service everything was amazing! Brought my mother here for lunch. She was craving some good Asian cuisine. Everything we had was great. From the low mein to the Happy Family you could not miss! I have been here twice and both times were great!! Forgot to take pictures of our meals it was so good!! read more

I originally found this place when I was looking for long bao (soup dumplings). While I did not order them this particular visit, they are amazing and I highly recommend. I've had this place a handful of times and recently visited in-person for the first time. It is a contender for my favorite Chinese spot in Phoenix. When I visited, I was one of only three groups dining. As much as I'd like to keep this place my own secret so I never have to fight for a table, they deserve more patronage. The interior is humble, but comfy. I was greeted immediately and seated at a booth. They also have tables with Lazy Susans for large group dining. The service was stellar. The staff was super attentive, ensuring my water was never empty. They briefly checked in a couple times, but didn't interrupt my conversation with my dining partner. The three dishes I ordered were all phenomenal. The spicy sauce for the wontons was the perfect spice level. They definitely didn't skimp on the chili, but it wasn't so hot that it overshadowed the flavor. There were 12 wontons and the dish was only $8.95. The scallion pancakes, which I *always* order, were delicious per usual. They are layered and flakey like a croissant and the scallion flavor is phenomenal. The vegetable lo mein was also delightful. I opted for chow fun noodles, which are a wider flat noodle. The dish was packed with flavor and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I am eager to continue eating my way through their menu. However, I've tried enough dishes to confidently recommend them to anyone who loves pan-Asian cuisine. Szechwan Kitchen is serving up authentic Chinese at a price you can't beat. Thank you for the consistent quality and excellent value. read more

A no-nonsense Chinese spot with own parking and a roomy, quiet dining room. Szechuan-spicy lunch entrees, which can be made with less spicy on request, tend to be on the greasy side. Cheapest lunch in the area with a long list of choices on the lunch menu. read more

We ordered take out from here a few days ago. You order online and then go pick up the food. Service was quick. Our food was done before the estimated time. I ordered wonton soup and veggie delight. The wonton soup had a ton of vegetables and the broth had a lot of flavor. The veggie delight was really tasty. A great to go option. read more

Landed here due to our usual spot being closed. I want to compliment their customer service! Guy up front was so nice and patient even though we came in 30 minutes before closing. We ordered dumplings, green beans, orange chicken with rice. A little pricier than expected however they can be shared with 2-3 people for sure! The star of the dinner was definitely their green beans!!! Couldn't stop eating them on the other hand, their sour chicken was nothing extraordinary. Sauce was okay. Chicken to breading ratio was kinda ridiculous. Felt like it was breading and sauce for a lot of the bites and for the price I would expect a bit more. Rice was rice. No complaints. Dumplings were another win though! So 2/4 not bad. The way the put it to go was also really convenient lol. I enjoyed not having yet another plastic bag with just styrofoam boxes. read more

Horrible. Ordered pot stickers that were incredibly salty and dry! Then had orange chicken. Well, "dry" doesn't do it justice -- it was dryer than the desert we live in. Barely any sauce, so I asked for more. Waiter took it to the back, then came back with maybe a tablespoon of sauce added. I asked to speak to manager. No manager to speak to. Horrible. Stay away read more

They changed the mapo tofu recipe. It used to be a darker red with real Sichuan peppercorns, giving that delicious numbing spicy flavor. This is my mapo tofu from yesterday, which had a little bit of spice but not as good as when I had it a year ago. Just more salty with a little bit of spice. Very disappointing that I'll have to try to find a new mapo tofu place. Pluses though: good and affordable lunch specials for about $10 a plate (rice, soup, egg roll, and an entree) but unfortunately I will not go back. read more

I've reviewed this gem before, but wanted to repeat how much I love one of their appetizers that I'll even come in and have as a meal! The Pork Dumplings in Spice Sauce... jumbo pillows of tender dough stuffed with a lovely ground pork. No mild by any means, the chili flakes, sesame oil, soy and whatever else inside brings a perfect ying/yang of flavors and textures, I cut them in half as I eat them so the pork inside is flooded with the spicy sauce. A generous portion of eight comes in an order. I can eat 6 then take home the sauce and extra dumplings as a treat for later. You can also get chicken filling but I love the pork! I love these pillows of happiness! read more

First time here! Delicious, lots of options, looks very clean (we picked up takeout). We will be back. Loved the pork egg roll, many spicy options, but also good ones that are not spicy! read more

Nothing about this place would have me return. The ambience of the restaurant is very stark and bright. The food is just so so and not authentic. Anyone who loves Chinese food wants to find that restaurant with the authentic flavor they loved for years and it is hard to find "that" restaurant. And just because this place has been in existence for a long time, doesn't make a good either. Trust me move on and find another spot! read more

First time ordering here. Picked up three separate orders. Two of them were orange chicken lunch specials. It was underwhelming.. the chicken barely had any sauce. (Compare my orange chicken to the other pictures on here...) so disappointing as people rave about the orange chicken here. Would not recommend take out and if you do check that there's actual sauce and not just breaded fried chicken. read more

This place has been officially added to my favorite restaurants. I had a friend visiting from Chongqing so we came to check this place out and everything was delicious and authentic. We did get dandan noodles but forgot to get a picture. That and the green beans, I'd say is authentic but more so as an overall Chinese dish whereas the mapotofu and chicken are more Szechuan. Highly recommend if you are in area or wanting to try some Szechuan spice. read more

Had a really good lunch here today. It's been awhile since I've had orange chicken so decided on it. The lunch special also comes with soup, a spring roll, and choice of white or fried rice. The spring roll was piping hot, crispy and delicious. It was my first time trying sweet and sour soup and I really liked the flavor. Wifey had the vegetable soup and she said it was really good and very fresh. The orange chicken was very tasty, actually better than I expected. Wife had their Hunan beef lunch special. She wasn't crazy about, said it just tasted like soy sauce. I had a bite and I didn't care for it either. I think the lunch specials are a great deal here. The food comes out piping hot and tastes fresh. read more

We decided we wanted Chinese food on Christmas Day. We found this gem open. We got the Kung Pao vegetables and the broccoli in garlic brown sauce. It was so good. It's really cute inside and our service was outstanding. We will be back! read more

I was hoping for our dishes to be more flavorful and have more elements to them. It was orange chicken and white rice in my daughter's dish and a slew of sautéed onions with beef and white rice in my meal. On both meals, there wasn't a lot of flavor, almost as if they ran out of seasoning on both dishes that were totally different. There was no ambience in this open dining hall with no decor or vibe and there was an extreme language barrier with both servers. Unfortunately, I wouldn't make the trip out again. read more

In the area and trying to decide what to have for lunch and found this Chinese restaurant on Yelp of course:) We went during lunch last week around noon. The lunch specials looked good so I decided on Kung Pao Shrimp, $9.95. It came with a choice of vegetable or sweet and sour soup, white or fried rice and an egg roll. It has been forever since I've had sweet and sour soup and it hit the spot! The egg roll was really tasty and satisfying. The kung pao shrimp was good, and tasted fresh. If I had to be picky, it was a bit too saucy and I should've gotten white rice instead of the fried rice as it was just coated with soy sauce. Service was very prompt and friendly and I'd definitely return when I'm in the area again. read more

Visited Szechuan Kitchen for an early dinner Friday night. The place seems new so I don't want to be too harsh, it's clear they are working some things out. Interior-wise there is ample seating and an array of booths and tables, however, this place is more of a take-out spot. There is a bar that is not serviced as there is no alcohol on the menu- given context clues I'm sure they're working on adding beer/liquor once they acquire the necessary approvals. We ordered the Mapo Tofu and Kung Pao Combo, they served us this with a generous helping of white rice. The serving sizes are huge and easily shareable with a few folks, I don't think every member of your party needs an entree unless you're looking to sample new dishes. The Mapo Tofu was good and it had the right amount of spice. The Kung Pao combo tasted on-par with other local Chinese takeout spots. The real standout was the incredible service we received, our waiter was highly attentive and kind and kept us informed on the status of our order. Insider tip: Make sure they provide you the traditional menu as well. That's where you'll find the familiar favorite Twice Cooked Pork which was unfortunately unavailable when we were there. read more

Best food on the valley! Unpretentious and old school. We love it... everything is fantastic

THE BEST SESAME BEEF I EVER HAD! CRISPY FRIED BEEF WITH CORNSTARCH!!!!!! If you ever want to add something new and crispy, this dish will never disappoint you! Let's say you bought fried chicken from Krispy Krunchy Chicken and your household wants crispy beef, you must get it here! My only complaint was there was a BOGO for vegetable fried rice on Uber Eats and the restaurant did not give the free item. I called the owner to let him know the mistake. He told me the kitchen staff made the mistake and I was to contact Uber Eats about the issue and was credited $6+. Just make sure when you order a BOGO via Uber Eats to call the restaurant first so they can either replace the item and deliver it or credit the mistake through food delivery app. read more

Food had good flavor. Not so friendly staff. Had a hard time just getting hot oil from the waitress, mind you it was a Togo order.

My coworkers and I tried this place out and we weren't impressed. I think there are areas to improve. Firstly the owners/staff were friendly and attentive (however we were the only table seated inside). This establishment had many to-go orders being picked up. Another pro is the portion sizes are generous and interior/tables are nice. Very spacious inside. Some of the cons though... while there was a large food menu the drink selections were limited and everything was served in can or bottle. No refills. The Appetizer prices were a bit high - for example: $9 for 2 egg rolls (the regular entrees were priced well, no complaints there). A downside that my Chinese coworker was disappointed about was packaged hot mustard when we were dining in. Putting the mustard in a small bowl would have dressed up the experience. The food tasted a bit off like the fryer oil hadn't been changed for a few days. I think there is a lot of potential and room to grow. One suggestion I have for the bathrooms is to lock the cleaning products up or have outside of customer reach. They shouldn't be easily accessible to children. read more

I tried this restaurant when it first opened and again today and unfortunately it was equally as bad the first time I had it. Im writing a review because the current star rating is not my experience at all. I ordered mapo tofu and stated "no meat" and hot and sour soup. I didn't see my note of "no meat" on my takeout receipt so I went back inside to confirm there was no meat with the unpleasant counter guy and he said there was not. Shocker, I get home and there's meat in it. I still ate it since I'm not vegetarian, but if I was I would have had to toss the entire thing. The only reason I'm giving more than one store was because the mapo tofu was better than I thought it would be. Still doesn't hold a candle to any that I've had in Chicago. The hot and sour soup is the WORST I've ever had! It was a gross sugary mess, how could other reviews say they liked it?? Seriously, I took one bite and had to dump it. I'm thinking about the taste now and shuddering. read more

Went for lunch where they offer the basic menu rather than the more specialized dinner menu. However every aspect of this was disappointing. Should have realized it when they brought out the food in less than 2 minutes. From the hot and sour soup to their fried rice and the main entre of Szechuan chicken. All of them turned out to be similar to the taste pf Panda. The rice was cooked with dark soy giving it a super dark look but no "wok hay". The chicken had large chunks of onion which was barely cooked because they did not do a good job of cutting it. read more

I opted for delivery and was totally surprised at how hot my food was. I had Kung Pao Chicken ! Dan Dan noodles. Both were awesome! I look forward to having their food again (tomorrow). I am so happy to finally have a great Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood. I'm telling anyone/everyone who will listen : You gotta try Szechwan Kitchen ! read more

Peaceful. I went because I searched Yelp with a craving for chop suey. The reviews & ratings were very good. The restaurant has been there for years but based on reviews it looked to be under new ownership. I had never been to it under its prior owners but decided to check it out under the new one. Walked in and it was clean and not crowded but from those coming in I realized they did quite a few to go orders. I then was asked can I help you - suggestion better to ask dining in or take out order. It came across as if the fluffy black lady wasn't supposed to be there. Then the waiter initially not friendly at least to me rather cold. Although he was the only waiter but he had only 3 tables. He later was more courteous but did not start out that way. I noticed he was more talkative to the Latino ladies who came in asked them about their day. I nor the booth across from me got that interaction. The food you get is healthy portions. My favorite thing was the hot & sour soup thick and loaded. The rest of the food was good. I will possibly go back. I did the vegetable egg foo young and I had to ask if they had egg rolls which did not appear on menu. I thought it was decent meal but the reviews built it up to be more than what I got upon my visit. My thoughts ok Chinese food. read more

Szechwan Kitchen is delicious! Stopped in a while back because another restaurant we planned on going to was closed. To glad we did! The egg flower soup is a great choice to start with. So flavorful! Today we tried the wontons in spicy sauce and what a great choice! So flavorful with the perfect amount of spice. General Tso's Chicken and Orange Chicken were today's entree choices. Both delivered quickly to our table freshly cooked. The chicken had a nice crunch to it and perfect flavor. Not to sweet and the sauce not too think. Paired nice with some steamed white rice. Service is always quick and friendly and prices were fair for the quality and quantity. The restaurant is nice and quiet but also plenty of seating. I'm surprised they haven't been very busy when we've visited. I highly recommend Szechwan Kitchen! We'll definitely be back again soon! read more
