Healthy portions. Attentive service. I'd take out the six gaming units and add more tables. Would feel more like a restaurant- a relaxing one. The food however made up for it. I had my favorite dish which was pad Thai noodles. Excellent spice. read more

Delicious food, portions were just right, service was excellent, and nice atmosphere too. Give them a try!

Hard to find good Asian food in this area, but after trying the others, Szechwan Palace seems like the best one. The staff is friendly, the food is good and the orders are filled quickly. read more

The food is good but charging over $9.00 for 2 vegetable egg foo young is way too expensive. I really like this place but I'm not going to pay that much. read more

Always the best Chinese fast food in lake county, never been disappointed with this place

Let's start by sharing that I have passed this restaurant more times than I can count and the out front look was always the reason why I wouldn't stop here along with so many negative reviews, which I would disagree based on my experience...that said, today was the day I gave it a try to see it for myself...let's start by remembering ourselves to not judge a book by it's cover ...this is a true hidden gem, so don't let the outside fool you or keep you from coming here ...food was DELICIOUS, prices are super reasonable for what you get overall!!!, place is small but mighty..service is great, cute small location with take out as well. Staff is super patient and attentive to your needs. Lavatory I did not visit so I cannot comment. My overall experience was great!! If you're in the area and looking for some yummy food with great service, then this is the place to chow down!!!! Highly recommend. read more

Its been a while since I had ordered, we used to LOVE it, but ordered yesterday for 3 of us and none of us liked it. The eggrolls were almost like pastry with rice in it. The portions were good size, but the taste wasnt great. Will not be back. Was looking forward to it all day and was let down. Not everyone has the same tastes, but 3 of 3 tells me its the food. read more

When we moved to the area we tried so many places but none were that good. That was until we got food here. They haven't disappointed one time! Food is always as ordered and always very delicious!! This is the only place we got now!! read more

This place is so hit or miss. Sometimes the food is good, sometimes it ends up in the trash. The unreliability is why I stopped getting food from here. I've tried the lunch specials mostly, chicken lo mein, sweet and sour chicken, fried rice with pork, egg rolls, crab rangoon, and steamed dumplings. My last straw for regular food was when the chicken chunks in the lo mein were inedible. I've also gotten their smoothies with tapioca pearls. The first time the smoothie was really good, but the next visit, the tapioca was frozen in the middle. There's certainly worse Chinese restaurants around, but there's also better. read more

Food was delicious and fast! The service was amazing. Everything was as expected and hit the spot

Don't let the older reviews keep you from giving Szechwan Place a try. New owners are very nice and after trying several dishes I would have to say this is now our favorite Chinese Food in the greater Antioch, IL area. BBQ Pork Fried Rice, Beef and Green Pepper (Pepper Steak), Hunan Chicken and Egg Rolls are favorites so far. read more

Best Chinese food in Northern Lake County. New owners are killing it with food quality and portions. They are prompt, fast, and polite as can be. Their Shrimp are huge in the Crazy Spicy Noodles lunch special. Their Singapore noodles are spot on. Any of the friend chicken dishes are super comfort food and amazing. Their crab Rangoon are fat and over stuffed deliciousness. Wanton dumplings soup is very good too. You just can't go wrong here. read more

Everytime we order from Szechwan Palace, it is a great experience. Food is delicious, orders are always correct, staff are extremely friendly, prices are reasonable. Overall, Highly Recommended read more

Quick delivery. Food is good. Still think the fried rice needs a revisit and to be tuned up. However place it's spot when Chinese is called for in the moment. read more

Have happily dined here in the past, but recent lunch takeout was lackluster. While getting rid of the gaming machines improves the dining area, it seems like they're focusing more on takeout business than ever. read more

Got take out last weekend. The food was delicious. Still hot by the time I got back home. I order pot stickers, I did not know they were gigantic. I think it was chicken but it was a conversation started for sure. Next was the teriyaki chicken on a stick. Generous portions of chicken. They taste sweet and great... but the dipping sauce was peanut not teriyaki. Slightly disappointed, thankfulness not allergies to nuts. The main course was beef and broccoli with steam rice delicious as usual and generous portion. Also sesame chicken, first time having it from here, was not disappointed. Really tasty even for leftovers. Finally was the chicken fried rice, wow super good definitely will return. I just hope to get the right chicken teriyaki on a stick next time. read more

Szechwan Palace - Front of restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Antioch, Illinois

I have been coming here for many years and always thought the food was good but this time it was the worst. I ordered the Fried Rice House Special which comes with 3 meats Shrimp, Chicken, and Beef.. Very dry, no meat only a few baby shrimp but no chicken and beef, no green onions, no sprouts, just a big pile of rice. It was the worst I've ever had from here. I won't be going again. Apparently it is under new owners which I was not aware of but they need new chefs. read more

My husband and I use to love going Szechwan Palace. The food was always great until tonight. We ordered BBQ Pork Egg Foo Young, Teriyaki Beef Sticks, and an appetizer plate for 2 to go. We brought it home and in the very first piece of Egg Foo Young we found a large rib bone. Never having this dish before I called them and asked if that was normal. They said no so I asked if I could bring it in to show them. So I drove back to the restaurant with the bone and the entire container of Egg Foo Young that we didn't even touched besides that one piece. The second I gave them the bone they imediatly started yelling at me that it was a rib bone and that it was impossible for it to be in my food. I had also ordered a side of ribs as a appetizer and they were in a completely different container then the Egg Foo Young so I know it wasn't from me. The 2 employees (possibly managers) continued to tell that it wasn't possible because they only use boneless meat and that I was lying to them. I told them that I can bring the 2 rib bones back that I had ordered and show them that everything was completely intact. Eventually someone that I assume was the owner told them to give me a refund. It was all in Chinese so I'm not sure exactly what was said but next thing you know he was handing me cash. They only refunded the $8 for the Egg Foo Young and not the appetizers we bought ($14 worth) and I was ok with that because that's all I wanted anyway. I have no problem paying for food that I can actually eat. I told him that everything elce was great. We were about to leave and the other employee started to yell at my husband and I again telling us that it was impossible for it to happen because they know how to prepare the food. She said they cut all the ribs by hand and if that's the case then I'm sorry to say it but it is very possible for a rib bone to get by. The sad thing is that we were not even mad about finding the bone. We really just wanted to bring it to their attention and since we didn't eat the food and bought the entire thing back it really shouldn't have been a problem. We more then likely would have ordered from them again but after being treated this way over their mistake I can say that we will never order anything from Szechwan Palace in Antioch, IL again! read more

We used to like the food here, not anymore. I ordered the House Fried Rice spicy, and it had no flavor whatsoever. All the sauces taste the same. Very disappointed! read more

OK, I'm new to the area so this is my first impression. Ordering was easy, however I became concerned when a young child about 2 or 3 came walking out from a side room Winne-the-Poohing it. What I mean by that is red shirt......and nothing else. He's not close to the kitchen, but then he takes a seat in the waiting area until a older brother pulls him back into the side room. I get my order and head home. I try the sezchuan chicken and..........ah....this is not what I expected. First, not spicy AT ALL! In fact it tasted very,very sugary,I couldn't eat it. The fried rice and egg roll was on point though. I should make a point to ask that they adjust (see remove all sugar and add spice) the next time I order from them. read more

We've been coming here for 5 years, the food used to be awesome. Now, our recent orders have not been edible. Everything has been soggy and overall not fresh. When trying to return the food as it really was not good, we were told we can't get our money back. The management wants your money, not wanting their customers being satisfied with good food. Don't waste your money here. read more

Just ordered here last night after hearing from people that the food is back to its normal taste. I have to disagree. Super disappointing meal. We love the beef fried rice and it has no flavor to it anymore. The sesame chicken was not good either. $50 for 4 large items was not worth it. read more

Women working today ( Sunday) quite possible the owner, has very poor customer skills, poor attitude & communication skills. I've been coming here for years even b4 this new owner, but today was my last. Plenty of chinese restaurant's around. I asked if i can switch a few vegetables & she said "take it or leave it, what do u want to do"? Then had a coupon for free egg roll for carry out , we had ordered $40 worth of food, intending to dine inside, she absolutely would not let us redeem a $3 eggroll coupon unless taking our order to go. Someone that's been patronizing a buisness for many years, (myself), I would think you can compromise one time. In my opinion she should be in the kitchen & not in public. Good riddance ! read more

Just awful! I think there are new owners so everything has totally changed. The BBQ rib appetizer have no sauce!! Disgusting

My most recent takeout was extremely disappointing. The chicken in my Dragon And Phoenix, which in the past has been crispy and nicely spicy, was soggy and flavorless. The Egg Rolls once were quite good but this time they had a different filling and tasted absolutely disgusting. The previously fluffy and tasty fried rice was now undercooked and heavy. Plus, both I and my wife are sensitive to MSG and never had an issue here, this time we had our telltale symptoms and believe they may be using it now. It's a shame, we used to really like their food, but obviously there's been a change and not for the better. Add to that the premium price, and it's a no-brainer - we won't be back. read more

Loved coming here for many years. Sad that the food just doesn't seem to taste like it used to. Now it's more of a take out restaurant than a sit down. read more

This place has become our go to Chinese takeout. More consistent than other delivery places in the area even if it is a little more expensive. The food is always good. Delivery is always under an hour. And if you use Beyond Menu app to order, you can pay with Apple Pay. read more

Very good Chinese restaurant. I ordered their Sesame Chicken and it was very tasty. Never had a problem with this place. Real Chinese food. Quick to order and they deliver. If you're staying at Fox River Recreation campground, this is the place to order from! read more

Under new ownership and our meal was super good!!! Everything was very fresh and so beautifully flavored. The lunch specials were very affordable and tons of food. Will make this a frequent stop for takeout. Small dining area if you want to eat in also. read more

The prices were higher than they should've been, there want to charge a service charge for using a credit card. And the food was only mediocre. The food was very high in cheap ingredients (noodles, rice, etc), but lacked all the ingredients you'd normally expect. I rated 2 instead of 1 because the sauces were good. Maybe they could improve, but they'll never have my business again. read more

Came here for dinner and all we could hear was a video poker machine going ding ding our whole dinner. Done with this place. read more

This place used to be GREAT! Then they sold to new owners. For a while, the food stayed the same. Unfortunately my most recent meal was DISAPPOINTING. The egg drop soup was very watered down and tasted like a dirty sock. Then my meal was DISAPPOINTING with less meat and more sauce. The sauce used to be thick, but just like the soup, it was watery. The theme seems to be that they are cutting costs at the expense of the food. I will go back one more time, but if they don't do something to correct these issues, I will not be returning. It's a shame too. I've been eating here for over 15 years read more

I couldn't even eat the food it was so bad. Ordered seaweed salad that was spoiled and vegetable green curry that I didn't recognize as a curry and the vegetables were still raw. read more
