Mr Szechuan

Mr. Szechuan is hands down one of the best spots for Szechuan food in San Francisco. The owner is incredibly kind, funny, and makes you feel right at home the second you walk in. He's got this amazing energy that makes the whole experience even better.The dry pot is packed with flavor--spicy, savory, and just the right amount of numbing heat. And the eggplant? Easily one of the best I've had--soft, flavorful, and covered in the perfect garlicky sauce. If you love good food and good vibes, this place is a must-visit!

Meh. I ordered takeout and they pretended that they didn't see me standing there to pick up the order. Yeah that'll work. I politely told him I was there for a pick up and I even tipped a couple bucks because I knew I wouldn't be returning.The food was standard not bad and nothing special. The restaurant was 1/3 full. This is San Francisco. I have options & won't return. if you lack the common courtesy to greet all customers, then you don't want all customers.

My new favorite dry pot place!! I've been searching forever for a good mala dry pot place and randomly stumbled upon here and it was great.The flavors and spice level were good and portion size for the price was also reasonable, plus it comes with rice or a noodle as well.My only suggestion or wish is that they had the option to add more veggies, they limit you to 2 meat, 4 veggies but we would have easily wanted to add a lot of veggies to share a bigger dry pot for 2. Reason the photo is of a takeout box is because we accidentally ordered it as takeout even though we were dining in, and the staff were really nice and apologetic and even gave us a free side of scallion pancakes!

This was for **delivery only**_The spice level was spot on and the Mapo Tofu was savory though light on pork. The other two entrees, the Steamed Chicken in Chili Sauce ($13.95) and Szechuan Beef ($18.95) were very salty and the beef tasted like it was sliced from end pieces; it could've been more tender.Everything was packaged with care and Saran wrapped around the containers so sauce wouldn't spill.It was good, could be better.

Online ordering system here. Service is line counter style. Inside is simple but nice.We got the mapo tofu 3.5 (sauce too thick)And the Spicy chicken 3.5 (too salty cant eat on its own)Will be back for the other dishes

Disappointing!! We were browsing Yelp for recommendations on Christmas when we came across this place. Food looked good so we decided to place an order. I called in at 5:40pm to order to-go for pick up at 7pm. We had a semi-big order so I asked the lady on the phone to confirmed what she had written down to make sure our order was accurate. She confirmed that it was and said that they were very busy so she would call me back in 20 mins. After I agreed to the callback, before I could ask if she needed my name or number, she hung up on me. I waited around 30 mins with no phone call before I called them back to check on the order. They didn't pick up. I called multiple times to no avail. Hoping for the better, we decided to go to the restaurant in case our order was ready for pick up all while calling them some more. When we got there, there were only 4 tables that were seated. We asked the server about our food and he mentioned that it would need some more time, around 15 mins. Another guy then came out and asked us to pay out at register first while we wait. We complied and walked over to the register only for him to tell us that he didn't see our order. He proceed to make excuses about the system not working and giving us attitude. In the end, we waited over 1.5hrs just to receive no food but much attitude from the guy who tried to get us to pay for nothing.

Mr. Szechuan in San Francisco is a great spot for anyone who enjoys bold, authentic Sichuan flavors. Just a heads-up, the food is definitely on the spicy side. I usually go for the dry pot with beef, pork belly, fried fish fillet, and a mix of vegetables. The spice is intense, but it's also balanced with deep, savory flavors that make the heat worth it. I've never had to wait for a table, which is a bonus. The service is friendly and quick, so you can enjoy your meal without any hassle.

Stumbled upon on this place when we got hungry on the way back to the city from SFO. I wouldn't say it's close to soma or SFO but it's worth that detour. The flavors are really on point and their red chillies give every dish a really smoky hot flavor. We got a bunch of dishes for two people and had left over for another meal. Their dry hotpot mixed with green beans was very flavorful and goes well with rice so that dish by itself is good enough for two people. We still got the fried chicken and cucumber salad and liked them both. I'd def go here if I was in the sunset district. The service is extremely fast and I was easily able to find free street parking.

Mr. Szechuan was a favorite dining spot of mine before the pandemic, so I was disappointed to see how much things have changed. The recent visit revealed a significant downsizing of the menu, which was quite disheartening. The variety of dishes that once made this place stand out is now notably reduced.Additionally, the portion sizes were a letdown. The dishes seemed smaller than I remembered, which detracted from the overall experience. It's always tough to see a beloved restaurant change so drastically, especially when it involves elements that made it special.The flavors were still on point, but the reduced menu and portion sizes made the visit less enjoyable than before. I hope Mr. Szechuan can find a way to recapture the essence of what made it great in the past, as it would be wonderful to see it return to its former glory.

We came here for a late night bite after coming out of the System of a Down concert. We got the dry pot with Szechuan spicy base. For $27, you get the choice of 2 proteins and 4 vegetables. This was a decent amount of food for 2 people and a fair price for SF. In terms of spice level, I'd say this is a 6-7 on a scale of 10. I used to eat a decent amount of Mala dry pots back in NYC. I think the quality here is comparable and brings me back to those Flushing food court days.We beat the post-concert rush by mere few minutes. Tons of concert goers dropped in after we ordered. I applaud the worker for keeping his composure and running a one-man show holding down the fort. In addition to tending to a restaurant full of guests, a stream of takeout orders kept coming in through their computer (reminiscent of The Bear S1E7).That was 11:30pm. I hope the man made it through the night.
