Szechuan Fan

My cousins and I dined at Szechuan Fan this past Friday evening. The server got our orders quickly and our food arrived shortly after.C3 葱油饼 GREEN ONION PANCAKE (3 PCS) - 9.99At first glance, the scallion pancakes were thin, and all three were perfectly round and evenly sized. It was clear that they had been previously frozen, likely purchased from a nearby Asian mart. The flavor was on the bland side, so we weren't impressed. Also, 9.99 for just three frozen scallion pancakes is daylight robbery.B3 牛腩面 BEEF BRISKET NOODLES - 16.49The beef brisket noodles was standard, with a pretty generic flavor. The broth was pretty rich, carrying a hint of "mala" aftertaste, though it wasn't spicy. There was plenty of brisket, and the noodles absorbed the broth well. It wasn't anything to write home about, but it got the job done.K2 海鲜豆腐汤 SEAFOOD WITH TOFU SOUP - 16.99I usually love soup and tend to be impressed by most, but this one fell short. The broth was heavy on salt and MSG with a strong ginger flavor that we didn't particularly like. However, It did contain a good amount of fish fillet and tofu, so they at least don't skimp on good ingredients.G2 辣子鸡（无骨）SZECHUAN SPICY CHICKEN - 18.69We asked for less spice because one of my cousins isn't good with spice. The chicken had a bit of heat from the Sichuan peppercorns and stir-fried well with a slightly crispy texture. Overall, this was pretty good but not memorable. H1 松取鱼（单味）SQUIRREL FISH (SWEET SOUR SAUCE) - 20.99The sauce was your typical American Chinese sweet and sour sauce, which isn't the right sauce for Squirrel Fish. The fish was deep-fried nicely with a crunchy breading, but the sauce didn't do it for us.D1 千煸四季豆 DRY-FRIED GREEN BEANS - 15.99The dry-fried green beans was pretty standard. The green beans were fresh and fried perfectly. The seasoning on it was good and it contained a good amount of toppings like Sichuan pepper and garlic.For Metro Detroit, Szechuan Fan has some Sichuan options, but nothing exceptional. The service was good and we left pretty full. Overall, 3.5/5 but will bump it up to a 4/5.

Wow. I love their "bowl steamed pork belly with pickled vegetables", F2 in their menu. If you know the famous MingHin Chinese restaurant in Chicago, you know they have a dish very similar to this & it is unbeatable! But tbh Szechuan Fan's is pretty comparable! We also got the Yangchow Fried Rice which was pretty good...a little pricey imho. Inside the restaurant is not too big but good enough space for dining. Service is subpar but I honestly don't expect much when ordering take out so thats not an issue for me. Overall, whenever I crave my braised pork belly, I will def go here:)

The Pork with garlic sauce is a classic and they make it the best IMO. This is such a staple in Chinese Szechuan cuisine and is a common point of comparison between different Szechuan restaurants. They make it very flavorful, just the right amount of spice. You won't be disappointed.The dry pot beef brisket was just ok. The quantity of beef was lacking IMO, for $19.99. See my picture. Mostly wood ear and bean curd/tofu skin, which is good just not what I paid for. It was pretty good though. I really wanted to like the Szechuan peppercorn fish and although the flavor was good the dish was simply way too greasy/oily. Just looking at the picture you can see the amount of oil they used. Overall: Food: +: authentic (same owners as ybor yan in aa) szechuan, quantity is ok for $-: way too greasy/oily and even more so than other places$: a bit on the expensive side @ $20/dish on average and sometimes more. I would say some dishes live up to this value, others not so much. Hit or miss.Service: pretty good, quick, attentive. ambiance: nothing special. relatively clean. Few diners were all chinese so that is a good sign.

If you want to drink water , they only offer bottled water which is inconvenient. Service is good , seems always friendly. Foods are pricey but are delicious and feels like authentic Chinese foods. All of of that foods I've tried were very good and never disappointed. I especially love their mapo tofu.

The restaurant is clean. The service in this establishment is great. I ordered ahead of time so my food would be served right when i sat down. Best decision ever. We got the dan dan noodles with less spice. It was not the best dan dan noodles i've had but still good and a good price point for the amount they gave us. Definitely filling. It was a lot of sauce for dan dan noodles and it kinda felt a bit oily.

Conveniently located in Novi; with its own parking. Clean and bright looking. Definitely a mom and pop shop, with child doing homework in the corner. Gosh, how I really really wanted to like this place. We ordered 2 waters $1 each, 2 bowls of rice $1 each, dry fried egg plant and double cooked meat (pork belly). Very very pricey for the portion - $16 for eggplant is a lot of money. Everything was incredibly greasy and salty. Basically to the point where it wasn't edible. The service was as expected, terrible, but it's what usually makes these kind of old school Chinese restaurants good. Unfortunately the food was not good, so we won't be back. It would have been a one star, but it's clean in the restaurant.

The egg drop soup is great. The place smells of sewer gases though so get take out. Friendly but absent staff.

Lunch wasn't busy. We ordered Szechuan pepper fish filet and fish-fragrant eggplant. Food came out quickly. Good portion and good flavor. We've ordered the fish-fragrant eggplant before and I wish this time, it was cooked a tad longer as the eggplant was not tender enough. Both dishes are spicy.

Best Chinese food we've found in Michigan. East Coast mixes with Michigan ! Excellent to eat in or take out

I was there for lunch today. The food was excellent. The service was very friendly and efficient. The place was clean.
