Szechuan Gourmet

Though I am a certified Spice Wimp™, I had to get a dried pot. It might bring me pain - and oh lord, did it bring me pain - but the deliciousness was worth the pain. For my meal, I ordered a dried pot with crispy fish and sans lotus roots since I'm not a big fan of the vegetable. And because I was hungry, I ordered crab Rangoon as well.Unfortunately, getting crab Rangoon turned out to be a mistake. Not because it was bad - the crispy wontons were quite tasty and especially great with the accompanying sweet and sour sauce - but because I was dining by myself and the crab Rangoon appetizer came with 6 crispy wontons, which combined with the extremely generous portions of the dried pot, more than filled me up. Like, way more.The dried pot was big and honestly perhaps large enough to share between 2 people. Not only did it have plenty of vegetables, but it also had plenty of pieces of crispy fish, which were delicious in the dried pot. The pleasant mildness of the flaky white fish made for a nice contrast with the spicy chili oil and numbing Szechuan peppercorn.Speaking of the chili oil - God, it was spicy! I had to get a few refills of steamed white rice, which helped a little bit with the spiciness of the dried pot, which again, was super freaking delicious and so worth the havoc it was wreaking on my sensitive tongue.Between the refills of rice, crab Rangoon, so many vegetables, and so many pieces of fish, I felt like I was going to explode from the vast amount of food. Plus, my tongue was screaming due to the spice.But would I be willing to order a dried pot again? Of course. However, next time, I might ask my server, "Oh, could I make the dried pot mild?"

Really wanted to try this place compared to Asiatown's restaurant and the menu is the same and quality is pretty similar. I do wish the spicy fish came out a little crispier but flavor of all dishes were delicious and I love the decent portions. Food comes out pretty fast and there was only about 2 servers working when we went. Nice to have a solid Asian restaurant in strongsville that's authentic and affordable!

This was our first time at Szechuan Gourmet. We ordered takeout online and our order was ready when we arrived and food was prepared fresh and perfect temperature. Good price and good quality food. Highly recommend!

I've eaten at the Szechuan Gourmet located in Asia town, and was curious to try this location wondering if they're the same in terms of quality and quantity( sorry for the comparison I was just plain curious). The quality is the same, the quantity however is comparatively lesser than that of the Asia Town one. The taste though makes up for everything, the service is quick as it's counterpart and the place is definitely an upgraded version. We ordered a pot of tea, dumplings in chilli oil, chicken in three cup sauce with fried rice (instead of regular steamed rice), ho fun noodles (with veggies). We loved everything except maybe the fried rice cos it seemed like it was simply steamed rice stir fried in oil and soy sauce, no veggies no seasonings - it seemed pretty plain except for the color which was brownish(cos of the soy sauce I assume) but the ho fun was absolutely yummmmmmm!

We came here for lunch and really enjoyed the food! The restaurant is located in a strip mall next to a Sephora and near Heinens and Target. I had the scallion pancake and the veggie lo mein, both of which were delicious. My partner had the pork dumplings and the general tso chicken; he liked his as well although he did wish the chicken was a little more spicy. We will definitely be back to try more of them

I been here a few times, mostly take out. This place is very weird for me. They are the most authentic Chinese and Americanized Chinese food. What do I mean? They have very popular authentic Asian dishes but gives it the most Americanized name. The dishes are authentic, but they put Americanized ingredients. You can't satisfied the American palette nor can you satisfy your Asian palette. I wish they neither lean towards authentic or go full Americanized Chinese. This is still my default spot, just because I am not driving to Cleveland or Columbus.

I bookmarked Szechuan Gourmet a while back and I decided that tonight's dinner night was going to be at this restaurant. The reviews were excellent, so off we went. Upon arrival around 6pm, the place was nearly empty and we were promptly seated. A waitress took our drink requests and provided menus. We requested pot stickers as an appetizer and my daughter requested wonton soup. A minute later, the soup was delivered along with the potstickers.My daughter said the wonton soup was excellent and she made it disappear quickly. The potstickers were also excellent and my expectations were brimming. For dinner, I requested General Tso's chicken, my son requested sweet and sour chicken, and my wife requested pork and vegetables. We all requested fried rice.Soon after, the food arrived. The flavors were excellent and the level of spice was noticeable, but not overwhelming. I noticed a salty taste to my dish, as did my wife. My son's sweet and sour chicken was perfect. My daughter really liked her pork dish. After eating more of our meals, my wife and I both agreed that the amount of MSG was just too much. The dishes were very salty. Later that evening, we had to keep drinking water because we were getting dehydrated.While the flavors were good, some of the dishes can be very salty. The service was excellent.

I genuinely did not expect such good authentic Chinese food in Strongsville, Ohio of all places!We ordered the:Dried Sauteed String Beans - I think this is a must get, these string beans were addicting. They were dried enough to have a crisp to them, but not too dry that they were hard to chew. And they had a nice saltiness to them that made me keep eating more.Mapo Tofu with Pork - the tofu was so soft and the sauce was perfect over some steamed riceBraised ribs with brown sauce - possibly my favorite of the meal. Perfectly hits both sweet and savory, and the meat was so tender. The server was also so nice, and very efficient with getting our order and bringing the food out. It was just me and my boyfriend and we easily demolished these three dishes without any leftovers just because it was so good. And we genuinely considered coming back the next day for dinner. We ended up not going in order to try another place but I will have to come back another time!

I frequently order food here, either to go or dine in. The food is good, but the customer service could be better; sometimes, the servers can be disorganized or misunderstand my requests. Overall, it's a good place to try Chinese cuisine.

Was greeted very rudely by a man at the hostess stand. I smiled and said hello, he just looked at me with a stone cold expression. Didn't offer us a menu or help. Then walked from behind the counter and looked my boyfriend up and down. We turned around and left right away. Extremely off putting!Do better & don't treat people rudely based off of how they look. Will never get my business.
