It was thanksgiving and you know what, we just weren't craving turkey. Neither me nor my partner nor his dad had the energy to cook. So we decided the best option was to seek out a new Chinese place. Szechwan tasty was like a shining light cutting through the fog tonight, leading us to the dinner of our dreams. We arrived and were greeted with incredible service. We ordered Kung Pao Chicken, Kung Pao Shrimp and Scallops, and Dumplings in Chili Oil. The spice level was perfect. Not too over powering that you lost the flavor of what you were eating, but the perfect amount of heat to leave a gentle sweat on my brow. The meat was delicious, sauce was very flavorful, and the rice was well cooked. And best of all, the price was reasonable too! The space was very cozy, made me wonder about the history of the place. It felt like my family was cooking for me. Honestly I might've had an out of body experience because it felt kind of like a dream? Maybe it's just being at a restaurant on Thanksgiving? Or maybe it was the deliciously spicy Kung Pao sauce? Either way, I loved it. And you will too. read more

This is the best Chinese restaurant I've ever been to. The best chow mein and orange chicken in Gilbert. Service was incredible and everyone is so nice! Highly recommend!! Deserves a higher rating for sure. read more

I have been searching for a place with great a eggplant dish for my vegetarian father. We used to live in Toronto and the Bay Area and miss good Chinese food. This place did not disappoint! It has super friendly staff and absolutely delicious and amazing food! The vegetable spring rolls were crisp and not greasy, unlike other places where you have to soak up the oil in napkins before you eat them. The eggplant was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing, the jalapeño chicken was fantastic, and I had to make myself stop eating the vegetable chow mein (and I don't normally care for most vegetables). Absolutely worth the drive from Maricopa! I will continue to beg you to open a restaurant there too! read more

Dropped in here for a quick lunch. Casual restaurant with a mom and pop vibe. Prompt and courteous service. The menu had a lot of variety to suit all palates. The spicy fried fish and the pork with dry tofu were both excellent. The rice is ordered separately and was a bit dry and didn't seem freshly made. I'd come back to try more of our favorite dishes and see if the rice improves. read more

My family's search for good Szechuan food in Gilbert has finally ended. I don't know what took us so long to try Szechwan Tasty, but glad we finally did over the summer. I called to place a to-go order and the staff on the other line was very helpful. We ordered our favorite Szechuan dishes: mapo tofu and spicy fish fillets. They happily accommodated our request for vegetarian mapo tofu. I sent my husband to pick up the order, which was ready and waiting for him when he arrived. The food was still warm when he made it home. Both were absolutely delicious! The flavors and spice were on point. The portions were decent, too. Szechwan Tasty has officially become our go-to spot for Szechuan food in Gilbert! read more

Take out Chinese is never that good! But me and the fam were very impressed, it was a 30$ price difference to pick it up verse having it delivered on door dash!! (Keep that in mind). It was very good, still hot, and ready on arrival! Cute clean little restaurant, and the gentleman at the front was very nice! New recommended takeout read more

If Gretel Y. Suggests... yes please! I started with the Pork Wontons with sweet and sour sauce then on the the Mongolian Beef, if you read any of my reviews you will know i love Mongolian Beef, has to be tender and they delivered! Mixed with onions white and green onions dried chilies! I think i will ask for med spicy next time. Just your typical hole in the wall family run Mandarin restaurant, that serves wonderful flavorful dishes! read more

Great takeout experience at Szechwan Tasty! I've been trying to find a high quality Chinese place, not necessarily solely Szechuan, and decided to try this one out. My husband and I ordered crab rangoons, spicy fried fish, house chow mein and kung pao chicken. Everything was excellent-- even the simple crab rangoon was good. I love the spicy fried fish and there was a nice mix of the actual Szechuan peppercorns and other red chilies. It had a nice, spicy but lightly fruity taste from the peppercorns. Super good. The kung pao chicken was slightly spicy, nicely saucy with lots of fresh veggies. And the chow mein was also quite delicious. The beef especially was great quality. I am so looking forward to returning to try more of their dishes. The ambience is nice and casual. I only had light interaction with the 2 people up front but they were so nice and gave me extra hot mustard sauce and chili crisp. Very much recommend for a Chinese place in the east valley! read more

We have dined in and ordered from here now several times. Everything is amazing and packed with flavor. Would highly recommend!

I liked the crispy spicy fish and sautéed eggplant was good I might be try other dishes next time read more

Dumplings were pretty good! Service was good, not the best, took a bit for service to see we meant good business lol . We ordered the dumplings in chili oil, highly recommend! Egg plant with chicken was decent, more garlic would've been great! The chicken spring roll was alright. The soup dumplings were great! All in all, good second choice ! read more

Serivce, excellent! Hostess was super friendly, engaging, and patient with sharing her recommendations on what to order. She was patient with our questions since it was our first time. I ordered the jalapeño chicken. It was delicious! I just could handle the spice after a while. It has a kick! The lunch special is a great deal and gives more than enough food. I would recommend trying this place out! read more

10/10. From the greeting, to the food! Everything was on point. The host was very nice. Greeted me and my daughter and as we walked in and were seated immediately. She gave us a few minutes to take our drink order and gave us another 5 or so minutes to look over the menu. Our food came out within 15 minutes or less and it was piping hot and fresh! The taste??? Omg! So good. I can t believe I've never been here before. This will now be my Asian go to. Delicious! You have to try it. Sorry I ate my food before I could take a pic. It was that good! read more

The reviews are way better than the food. Mushy Egg Foo Young, horrible Orange Chicken glaze, fried rice with no veggies at all, chow mein stuck together without the sauce being mixed, no spice whatsoever in the king pao chicken and overall flat bland flavors. A definite one and done for us. read more

While visiting a friend in San Tan Valley we wanted to find a good restaurant to eat. Went to yelp and read the reviews. I ordered the Szechwan shrimp. The shrimp was not over cooked and they were big shrimp. I would highly recommend this place. This will be my go to when in that part of the valley. read more

Way too Damn expensive...! It's just Chinese Food after all, $16.85 for Rice and a little meat...? You are Crazy !!! read more

Saw the great reviews and looked up the menu and saw the delicious looking food dishes. We went there and saw the picture of the sweet and sour chicken and asked to have that with shrimp,instead. The server said they don't buy pineapple and so I decided I didn't want it. I asked for a shrimp egg roll and I was told they don't make those and they only have spring rolls. They clearly had pictures of them on the web site and that was what brought us there. WE GOT UP,AND LEFT. WHY THE HELL YOU PUT PICTURES ON THE SITE OF FOOD YOU DO NOT HAVE OR MAKE. I would have went across the street and bought a can of pineapple to satisfy a customer, but since the place was completely empty, I know why. I have no idea how the have a 4.5 review and they refused whatever I ordered saying we don't have that. WHAT CHISE RESTAURANT DOES NOT BUY AND HAVE PINEAPPLE? Close the place and go home. read more

Szechwan tasty - ADVERTISED ON WEB PAGE, SAID THEY DONT BUY PINEAPPLE. WHAT A SHAME!!!! - Chinese Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I'm just going to leave a really honest review. I get pleasure out of giving 5 star reviews, but I need to be real. The jalapeño chicken dish was ok, but I only ate 1/2 of it. At some point, I couldn't stop thinking about the grade of the chicken breast and how fatty and rubbery it was. I'd rather pay more for a chicken dish and have the chicken taste "real." And by real, I mean lean and not rubbery. The flavor was decent, but the level of oil was a bit overwhelming. By itself, I would have given 4 stars. The vegetable delight was supposed to be "broccoli and mushroom in brown sauce." I ordered on ubereats. There was a no broccoli in the dish, neither American nor Chinese. Instead, there was some type of cabbage and mushroom. It tasted pretty decent, in fact five star for flavor. However, it wasn't what was advertised as I specifically ordered a broccoli dish. This is what brings my rating down to 3 stars. read more

Excellent food here ! Great sauces ! Wonderful hot and sour soup ! Nice people ! I'll be back soon ! Love this place ! What a gem !!!

Tried this spot via UberEats and got the yangzhou fried rice, yuxiang eggplant, mapo tofu, and boiled spicy fish. Everything was as expected, the mapo tofu was a little salty but was fine with white rice. The eggplant and tofu was a bit extra greasy....otherwise no complaints here. If we are ever in the area I'd definitely want to try this spot in person for a fresher experience! read more

We were in town & our normal Chinese food spot was closed the day we were there so 8 of us came in here for lunch. The place was inviting, seemed clean & the team members were nice. All of us thought the food was just ok, we all liked their soups the best. I got the Szechwan Beef which was much better than their orange chicken & broccoli beef & jalapeno chicken. We were all bummed that they didn't offer soda from a fountain drink machine & only in cans (at a price gouging price). We may give this place another shot since it seems like people like this place. read more

Decided to try this restaurant out as we had gotten their menu in the mail and I absolutely love the food! We ordered delivery and the food came really quickly. We tried the chicken egg rolls, crab puffs, Gen. Tso's chicken, Beef n Jalapeno, and chicken chow mein. Everything was so hot, fresh and delicious! Large portions too! Will definitely order again! read more

Stopped here the other night to try. My friend I absolutely love authentic szechwan cuisine. Our favorite was Szechwan Palace at the former Chinese cultural center (r.i.p.). Unfortunately, our search continues. The service, efficiency, speed, and overall dine in experience was good! Friendly overall. The two dishes we ordered were the pork with bamboo shoots and the 2 piece water boil (we opted for beef & fish). Now, the water boil is supposed to be prepped in the true Szechwan style, meaning tongue numbing spice. I had to order an extra side of chili oil to douse onto my rice to even feel anything. My spice tolerance is slightly above average for an East Asian person. And I have had my butt kicked and handed back to me at certain Thai, Chinese, and Indian restaurant. So I'm definitely not a spice tycoon by the least but oh boy was I let down. The water boil's broth, soup, whatever you want to call it, was 70% oil, 20% sodium, and 10% spice. No tongue numbing effect at all. I've been to other Chinese restaurants without the "Szechwan" in their names that offered Szechwan inspired dishes with more tongue numbing spice than this place. Come here for friendly service and a very nice size menu. They even categorize it for you. Americanized dishes on one side of their menu, more "traditional" dishes on the opposite side. read more

Me and my husband were craving that spicy, tongue tingling Szechwan peppercorn experience. We had high hopes because the reviews are pretty good! We ordered the spicy Szechwan beef, chicken fried rice, and cucumber with garlic sauce. Unfortunately it did not live up to expectations. The beef was not spicy whatsoever and no evidence of the Szechwan tingling sensation. It was more of a Chinese fast food beef experience. Me and my husband are spicy food junkies so we were disappointed. The chicken fried rice was a little greasy and had barely any flavor. We each took a bite and didn't touch the rest- which is a shame because we don't like to waste food. I've had a lot of cucumbers with garlic sauce in my day and this one is the bottom of my list. The garlic was potent but in an off sort of way, more of a garlic burn than a flavor. The sauce was mostly water. It wasn't very pleasant. The service was very nice and I hate to talk bad about their food for that reason. They were quick and helpful. There is a possibility that we picked the wrong items, and that other choices are better. But if you're looking for vibrant flavors, spicy food, and a Szechuan tingle... this doesn't seem to be the place to go. read more

Great service, friendly staff. My only complaint which might be welcome to other diners was my dish wasn't very spicy and didn't have that famed mouth numbing peppercorn taste. read more

Thanks to the Yelper that posted the previous pic of the braised pork! Once I saw it, I had to try it! So good! Tender, melt in your mouth deliciousness, in a nice brown gravy, big pieces of pork belly and a nice portion too! I also ordered the cucumbers in garlic sauce and it too was a winner! Service was friendly and prompt! Can't wait to come back to try some more dishes. If you are looking for an authentic Chinese restaurant in Gilbert, this is your place! read more

While the food is rather good. So far all dishes I've tried have been well above average I don't think it justifies their higher than average prices. They also don't offer small soup portions forcing you to buy the large containers which are way overpriced. The place is very quaint and clean and the staff is very friendly. Their stir fry is fantastic I will say. If the prices don't bother you this place is among the best Chinese restaurants in the area. read more

Hidden Gem! I live around the corner and had no idea how good they were! I saw great reviews! I got the Sesame Beef and the sauce was amazing, a cross between sweet and sour and brown sauce. Chicken Egg Rolls were great! read more

Best Chinese food in Gilbert area! I used to drive to Tempe when I crave for Chinese food. And ever since this restaurant opened, it's becoming so convenient for me The chef and owner was the head chef of Szechwan palace for many years. And Szechwan palace was one of the very first authentic Chinese restaurants in town. Szechwan tasty have two different menus. One targeting local Chinese here and all these items are authentic and delicious. The other menu is in English only and all these dishes are American Chinese style. I have been there 3 times already since they've been opened. And never regretted any visit. Love this place and yes, they're gonna get real busy! read more

Service: Very personable and nice unlike most ahem authentic Chinese restaurants. Even though they were slammed with large families in their small place they were all smiles and tried to take care of everyone Food: This was a disappointment as I heard a lot about this in various FB groups. I ordered 3 dishes of which one was decent. My usual gotos were dismally terrible and meh respectively(Fried rice and Fuqi Fepian). The mala on the pig intestine did make up for some of the spice kick I was craving, but 1/3 of the dishes ordered being good is still a disappointment in my foodie book. Will try some of their water boiled dishes the next time around. Hopefully they stand out. I'll stick to Chou's kitchen/Original Cuisine for my usual gotos. read more

I've been here a couple times and it's always been great. Fast service and food is always fresh and delicious. My first time here I tried the Water Boiled Beef and it was a super interesting experience with the mouth numbing Szechwan pepper soup base. If you like eggplant the Yu Xuang Eggplant is delicious. Today I went for their barbecue pork chow main which you can't go wrong with. The restaurant always looks clean and I've never had to wait to get seated. Portions are large, I recommend getting a couple of dishes and sharing family style. read more

This honestly might be the best Chinese food in the east valley! If you've lived in Arizona long enough, you know authentic chinese food is hard to find. The flavor, presentation, value and service here will not disappoint!! I personally love to support family owned businesses and this establishment checks all the boxes. I did a to go order and everything was super fresh, tasty and make with love. This is a very humble unassuming restaurant. The first thing you'll notice when you walk in is how clean and tidy the restaurant is. The second thing you'll notice is the welcoming smiles and then the yummy food smell will instantly confirm you make an excellent choice. Give this local family restaurant a try, and you'll likely find it will fill a void in your epicurean palette! read more

Honestly, I didn't expect much because I've had the incorrect notion of authentic ethnic food could only be found at a hole-in-the-wall kinda place. I was at first thrown off by the modern ambiance but I got comfortable quickly enough. The place is clean, everything's new (the lady who brought my food told me they just opened last year) but I was blown away when my food arrived! I just got mapo tofu (Szechwan style spicy tofu dish) and egg drop soup for a light dinner. Soup was boiling hot and the tofu was sizziling, and and I definitely burnt my mouth eating but it was all worth it. The spices weren't too overpowering, it was just right. I'm not Chinese but these Szechwan spices tickled a nostalgia that I didn't know I had in me. I felt home! I can't wait to try more dishes on the menu. read more
