Super tasty food, nice classic Chinese restaurant decor, and the portions were sized just right. The egg rolls to start we're great as was the skewing pancake entrées. We got the stirfry rice noodles with beef, which was tasty and the Mongolian beef, which was amazing. My only complaint about the food was the temperature of the bites varied throughout the dish. It seemed like some of it was really hot and fresh, and some of it had been sitting out a bit. The waitress was working non stop, helping out multiple tables, helping shuttle the to go orders around, and doing a lot of juggling of tasks, too. We'll definitely be back, really good food and a not at all pretentious good dinner spot. read more

I had to apologize to my husband for feeding him such a tasteless meal. Truly, my beef and broccoli I make from Trader Joe's bag was better than this. No flavor from either beef or chicken dish. Sad to blow the 50.00! Perhaps we need to return and try some of their recommended dishes, but these are not them. read more

The restaurant is beautiful, the service was average and the food was awful. From the eggrolls, crab Rangoon, Sesame Beef and Governors chicken, failing grades, F+++. Their white rice was good and they serve a mean glass of water! Consider Panda Express before this restaurant! read more

Hands down, Szechwan North is a must-visit for anyone craving real-deal Sichuan cuisine! The flavors are so authentic and spot-on--perfect level of mala, fresh ingredients, and generous portions. The place itself has a beautiful, clean, and inviting environment that makes dining here a pleasure. On top of that, the service was outstanding--warm, efficient, and genuinely caring. If you're in the Glenview/Mount Prospect area and want legit Chuan cai, this is the place. 10/10, can't wait to go back!" read more

It's been so many years since I've checked this place out again, but wow, I am much more pleased and impressed at the improvement. The prices are still high, but I think the quantity of food that they give you is a lot more reasonable. The taste profile is still very light, but if you order the vegetable or seafood type, then it is preferable that the flavor profile is lighter. The ingredients were fresh and not overcooked. If you prefer a stronger taste, you could add more salt or sauces at home yourself. Overall, I think they offer a decent Chinese food option around the area! The staff also speak Chinese so you know it's pretty authentic. read more

I have never given 1 star to a restaurant until today. My parents and I came here tonight to celebrate my dad's 86th birthday. We have been here many times, and even though the service is never the best, tonight our experience was awful. First, upon entering, I immediately noticed the fully decorated Christmas tree. Although it was pretty, I do not think Christmas decorations should already be on display on November 3rd (but maybe I am in the minority). This, however, is not what was so upsetting. We arrived at 5 pm and there were only 2 other tables of people. It took a while for the server to ask for our drink order, so we decided to order everything at the same time. The first entree (my dad's) came out from the kitchen in a decent amount of time. Mine came out next about 5 minutes later. Then we sat there waiting for my mom's dish. Since it was taking a long time, she told us to go ahead and eat. Guess what? My mom's dish did not come to the table until my dad I were both finished eating! This is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE! Did we let the server know that we were still waiting for the meal? Yes. Did we see other tables of people who had ordered after us get their meals before my mom? Yes. No apology was offered, nor was the price of the meal taken off the bill. To top off this experience, I showed the server an app for teachers on my phone that lists this restaurant as having a 10% off coupon. The server said she had to ask her manager and then returned to tell us they don't accept the coupon. I asked to speak to the manager. I showed her the app and the coupon and she said it wasn't theirs. In fact, it IS their coupon and I have used it multiple times before today. Needless to say, we will NEVER return to this restaurant. Also, I see that I had previously posted a review for this restaurant many years ago and should have known better. read more

The food is ok. The price is not. I guess the benefits of being the only game in town

It has been a long time since I was here! I was totally surprised by the quality and quantity of the entrees! We ordered: #213 Honey Garlic Pepper Beef Tenderloin #304 Pork in Garlic Sauce #506 Salt & Pepper Tofu #603 String Bean #743 Stir-Fried Squid I would not get the Tofu and the Squid again! All the others had great flavors and sauces! My favorite was the Pork in Garlic sauce! We were there on a Friday night and there were only about 3 other tables that had customers there! The wait staff were friendly and the bonus was when you check in on Yelp you get a coupon for 25% off your order! read more

Checked out another good Chinese place in Glenview. It didn't look like it would be much, another Chinese restaurant in a strip mall but it was better than the usual to be honest. Szechwan North has a menu of classics and is suitable for many tastes. Get it mild or hot or however one likes it. There's plenty if healthier options and the prices aren't bad for the big portions. A place looking like this from the outside may cause one to be skeptical, but it's what's on the inside that counts. In all honesty the inside isn't that impressive either. The impressive things include the food though. Big menu. There's a fairly okay amount of options for vegetarians. It's about $13 for an entree. Kind of high but these are big portions. Got us some of the tofu entrees. I got the Salt And Pepper Tofu. Certainly tasted like it had these seasonings in it. The tofu was very crispy, having a tater tots kind of texture. Got to say it's one of the better options around here for Chinese. It's open daily which is pretty rare for Chinese restaurants. The menu is full of spicy and even flaming hot options for both meat eaters and vegetarians. read more

Once again, Szechwan North didn't disappoint. We had a wonderful dinner with excellent service. We even had some entertainment- they must have hired someone new to deliver food to the tables. He kept trying to give the food the folks in the booth next to us ordered. We all had a good sense of humor about it, and ended up meeting some new people. It was a lot of fun. read more

My new favorite Chinese restaurant. Although, full transparency, I can't tolerate the Szechwan spice but they make some really nice dishes. I like the chow mein with pork, bok Choy with garlic and the kung pao chicken (I can tolerate the spicy here). The Szechwan chicken, Szechwan soup, and chicken fried rice was a favorite for others. The egg drop soup and the beef noodle soup was just ok for me. I like the Lao sze chuan's beef noodle soup better but it wasn't bad. I like tue other dishes better here. Overall, I really like the food here and the lady (speaks mandarin from Shanghai) is really nice! Love her. read more

I've not been here for about a decade. The Chow Fun Beef had parts of the noodles that were rock hard, is this an indication of old noodles that isn't fresh? Taste wise, it's alright. The other dish was Fried Smelt. It was alright. Not crispy enough & the taste was okay. I ordered this as it was listed as chef's special. There are other better options in the area for chinese food. read more

I love the carry out, I order lunch specials and take them home to the family. Everyone is always so nice when I come in! We love the food!

We were looking for an option for Chinese food on an unexpected date night, and wound up here after some Google and Yelp searching. It's tucked into a corner of a strip mall so I've probably driven by it dozens of times and never noticed. I'm glad to know now that it's here. The interior is clean and comfortable with plenty of seating options. There were quite a few other groups dining in when we arrived and it looked like carry-out business was quite busy, too. Service was a little slow at points because of this but I'm happy to wait a little longer for good food, especially from a local business. I started with the egg drop soup. It was exactly what I hoped for: thick and flavorful with lots of ribbony eggs. For my entree, I had sesame chicken. It was lightly crispy and the sauce had actual flavor, in contrast to other Chinese places where it's just sticky sweet. I struggled to make a decision between several menu items so now I'm eager to go back and try some other things. My husband had Szechuan-style kung pao chicken and really enjoyed it, especially the physical and flavor experience of the Sichuan peppercorns. He kept telling me about the tingling sensation and describing what was happening. I'm glad he knew about the peppercorns because, based on what he was describing, I would have thought he was having an allergic reaction to something. This was a good dinner and nice evening. I look forward to coming back in the future and trying more things (though I'll probably leave the peppercorns for my husband). read more

The salt and pepper tofu is bland. The fruit bubble teas are super sweet you need to drink water after each sip to wash it down. The tapioca in the bubble teas are hard so we complained about it and instead of giving us a new lychee bubble tea with the boba they gave my daughter just the tapioca ‍. So disappointing, only chinese people would be this cheap and do it that way. Not being racist here coz im half chinese read more

Ever since the original owners sold the place to the current owners the food has changed a lot. It's the closest Chinese food place to my house and it's so expensive to deliver. I got really really bad food poisoning a year ago and I saw others got sick too. I miss the old owners and the food was better under the other owners. The physical restaurant needs to be revamped and they gotta be careful with food poisoning ! read more

Always costs more than expected. Generally tastes better when eaten as leftovers except for the potstickers and egg rolls (those are finished at the first meal . Started taking out from here when Szechuan Kingdom closed. The food is fresh; shrimp dishes could use bigger shrimp. Recommend chicken in garlic sauce. read more

I smelled the food while i was getting my medications at the Walgreens nearby. Smelled amazing! So amazing, once done at Walgreens, I circled back around to see what was the food I was smelling. I went in and got a menu. I had limited funds waiting on payday the next day but after a long day, didn't want to cook. A server by name of Connie assisted me. I ordered the combination chow mein and went to car to wait for it to be ready. My daughter asked if she could have spring rolls. I had $3 cash and like $4 on card. I went in and asked could I order spring rolls with two forms of payment: Pay with cash and rest on card. Connie was not able to figure out how to do it. She first rolled her eyes and shamed me for needing to use two forms of payment. When she couldn't figure it out, I texted a friend to zelle me $5 so I could just pay with card. When she finished the transaction, Connie left, passing me and mumbling her disgust in her native language and I found that to be extremely poor customer service. Judge me when you are not in my face. Times are hard and I was simply trying to feed me and my child. So, based on her behavior alone, I give them a poor review and am contemplating never visiting their restaurant again. However, the food was delicious. So, I'm torn. Take this review as you will. I opted to write the review in hopes that it is received as constructive criticism to treat everyone with respect despite circumstances. Times are hard. No one should judge another based on what they cannot do. You never know what a person is going through and it can happen to any one of us in a heartbeat. I didn't ask to be laid off for 18 months and finding it hard to find a job. I am not a stereotype. I'm a human struggling and fighting hard to overcome the turn of event circumstances that is currently my life (not by choice). Treat everyone with kindness regardless of any frustration it may inconvenience you with. read more

The food wasn't edible. Mongolian beef was chewy and sweet. They left out the fried rice from our order. When I called them the lady was so rude and hung up on me. My husband called then and she basically did the same thing to him and hung up. There's so many good places around that we will never support this business. read more

I order takeout from here a couple hours ago and I am disgusted the food looked horrible and the one thing that looked edible was incredibly spicy chicken and I asked is it spicy they said no and I asked to make sure it's not spicy. They completely ignored that and decided to put I could only described habanero peppers and was severely overcooked. I think Panda Express is better this junk never eat here. Y'all should be ashamed. read more

We come occasionally and have left a few reviews so I wanted to be more detailed this time. We ordered at 5:50 pm or so on a Wednesday night for pickup. Overall: Speed of food prep/service: 5 Food taste/quality: 4 Value/Pricing: 4 This time we ordered spicy chicken wings, shrimp fried rice, Mongolian beef and an off menu item - dry chili chicken. Best first: 5* Dry Chili Chicken - if you like to eat spicy food (especially flash fried dried chili peppers) and have never tried this dish - please do! It is tasty and hard to find at some places around here (we first had it near Bridgeport, just outside of Chinatown in Chicago) so we were lucky to find that they had it available in Glenview. The chicken chunks are very lightly breaded and then flash fried and there are a few nice slices of garlic, some green onions etc. Plenty of hot dried peppers that they cut open so the seeds and spiciness heat really sing! Keep in mind this dish is exactly as the name states - dry - it is supposed to be that way, so don't complain that there is no sauce! 4* Shrimp Fried Rice - tastes very good however I would prefer having the option of paying $2 more as an option on the protein so that it would have had enough shrimp. The chicken fried rice, which I have not had in ages, used to be fantastic - moist, flavorful, just greasy enough to have a bunch of flavor, we will order that next time and compare. This one was good but flavor-wise it seemed a little muted versus the way I remember the chicken fried rice. 4* Mongolian Beef - very tasty with a nice, thin soy based sauce - not at all gloopy and thick they way a lot of other places often make it - this one was perfect for the sauce. The beef was perfectly cooked and seasoned - very tender. The dish however has a lot, really for me way too many, yellow onions. It could have had more green onions instead of so many yellow. Hopefully beef prices come down so they can reduce the onions and increase the amount of beef. With inflation as it is though I get what they have to do to stay in business. 3* Spicy Chicken Wings - just okay only. There were only 5 pieces which is why it was only $5.50, and they were very small, however they were dry inside - the meat seemed warmed over in flavor and texture and thus dry and not tasting freshly cooked. It had a spicy and very sweet sauce. We will return although with inflation it is hard to do as often as we used to with the higher prices restaurants need to charge. read more

Food is great. Atmosphere is good. Service is awful. Have eaten there multiple times, the last two they forget to bring appetizers. Dinners don't come out together, some come out 20 minutes after the first dinner. Have to threatin to walk out if they don't bring a bill. read more

Very typical northern Chinese restaurant and they have a vast selection of choices to choose from. My husband and I enjoyed the vegetarian spring rolls and next time we'll have to see if they make their own egg rolls. The spring rolls are pre-made. I have really been on a vegetarian kick lately, so I ordered the Chinese broccoli, and it was perfectly cooked and crunchy in a simple garlic sauce. My husband's favorite is Moo Shu Pork and I really liked that they pre-rolled the pancakes and gave extra hoisin sauce in case we wanted more. I'm not a fan of Asian desserts in general so we didn't try any tonight. The decor is clean, bright and typical Asian but modern too. read more

I recently ordered take out from here from dinner on a busy holiday night. The order took a bit longer than they said it would take. We ordered kung pao chicken, sesame chicken, mongolian beef, sesame beef, and GF cashew chicken. The kung pao chicken was good and spicy. The sesame chicken was pretty good too. Not super crispy but the chicken and sauce was decent. I usually like their mongolian beef, but this time it was lightly breaded which was different, and not as good as usual. The sesame beef may have been my favorite entree because it was crispy similar to panda express beijing beef. The GF cashew chicken was bad, but that might be because we ordered it GF. The white rice that the entrees came with was hot and fresh. read more

The only thing longer than the Chinese Wall was our wait last night. On the warmest Christmas Eve in 13 years, our party of ten people had a 6:30 reservation. By 6:42 they seated us; by 7:00 I had to get up, find menus and bring them to the table. By 7:30 they had not taken our order so I wrote down everyone's order (see below), walked over to a waiter (not sure if he was our waiter since no one gave us menus) and told him what we wanted as he entered it in the computer. Our food didn't arrive until 8:15!! I'm no fan of Chinese food, but it was surprisingly good. We requested no MSG and light on the oil; I recommend you do the same. Highlights: Lamb with cumin was delicious. It was flavorful, tender and well spiced. Chicken pot stickers. We didn't order them, some other table did, we thought they were bringing them to be nice. By the time we realized they weren't ours, they were in our stomachs. The Mongolian beef tenderloin was so good I didn't get to taste it; my boys devoured it before it reached our side of the table. Szechwan string beans were a hit as well. The dry chili chicken was NOT good. I love hot food, but this was too hot, even by my standards. The servers were all nice and tried their best, there were just too few of them. I'd give this place four stars for the food. Others have suggested the restaurant is expensive, we fed ten people with no alcohol for $230, including tax and tip. The full list of items we ordered is: Dry chili chicken Szechwan style 402 Cashew chicken no pineapple mushrooms 406 Vegetable eggfu young w tofu 922 Mongolian beef 206 Stir fry sliced duck with baby ginger 427 Kung pao chicken 405 Asian salad 109 Lettuce wraps with chicken 129 Lamb with pure cumin powder 217 Mongolian beef tenderloin 206 Mixed vegetables 608 String beans Szechwan style 603 Chow mein 922 read more

If your looking for ambiance, move on. If your interested tasty Chinese food at a Great price. Look no further.

Came in looked promising. When I come in alone I just don't get the best service. The greeting was terrible service was bad asked to exchange my flavorless soup for a spring roll they wouldn't do it. " no change" what the heck . Especially being on the north shore you think they would step up the service . Ugh waiting for my food hope it's better then my lost hot n sour soup. Asked for soy sauce had a great response of "Huh" Mapo tofu came out was average. Eggplant flavor was good but for some reason skins were tough. Very disappointed in service. read more

At first bite I was dissatisfied, but I heated everything up and it tasted like magic. All the Szechwan peppers and goodness really came out. I ordered through Grubhub the food got here when it was supposed to but everything was stone cold not the restaurant's fault. Everything tasted really good except Szechwan style dumplings. They were dry and had a weird texture. This isn't your run of the mill Chinese restaurant, It has flavor. But you should be aware that what you normally get at a Chinese restaurant might not be as good, because of the region of cooking they're good at. Szechwan was in the name so I got everything Szechwan style and it didn't disappoint. My only qualm is I should've got it spicy, I got everything medium but spicy is the way to go. It was pricey but I'm hoping it's for a limited time because of COVID. read more
