Szechuan Chef

The mongolian beef had a weird taste without any hint of sweetness like a mongolian beef should have. Couldn't finish it due to strange taste.

Very good authentic Szechuan flavors.Nice and friendly staff. Fast service.Large portions.

I keep forgetting which Sichuanese places I like around the area so I'm documenting reviews to help me remember. We always order the same 3 dishes from Sichuan restaurants:1. Chongqing hot chicken: 5/5, my favorite item from this place, big pieces of chicken, crispy and salty, not very spicy2. Mapo tofu: 4.5/5, not my absolute favorite mapo tofu but still quite good and very flavorful3. Spicy fish: 3.5/5 not bad, but not great, also a bit weird because they add bamboo (not a bad thing, just not typical of this dish)4. Pea vines: 5/5, delicious and garlicky!

Always authentic, full flavored spicy Chinese food. One of my favorite spots for ma po tofu, shui zho yu (spicy fish) and other Sichuan classics. Can't wait to get back.

If you are craving one dimensional tasting food this is the perfect place to come. It lacks depth and complexity of asian flavors that Chinese food usually has. There is also only one person working so the service is extremely slow. I was not happy at all. Everything was just spice and chili...I can eat extremely spicy food so this wasn't too spicy for me but the usual person will not enjoy this at all. I do not recommend. But if you do come, the vegetables are a safe bet.

My family ordered takeout from here last week. This was our first time ordering from Szechuan Chef in years, but we decided to give it a go since we wanted to try some different regional Chinese food (normally we order Cantonese food from Yeas Wok or Red Bamboo). Szechuan Chef serves some more Americanized dishes since as orange chicken, kung pao shrimp, fried rice, chow mein, etc. but they also serve more authentic Szechuan dishes such as Dan Dan noodles, pork hock, and fried fish.We ordered the dry prawn hot pot (3* spiciness according to the menu), pea vine, salt and pepper squid, and Dan Dan hand shaven noodles. Each dish is about $13 - $18, but the portions are big. We also clarified no MSG over the phone since we didn't want additives in our food. They had our order ready within half an hour of calling.I've never had a dry hot pot before, but it was almost like Cajun food. The prawns were deep fried and covered in a dry red curry blend and served with hot peppers, lotus root, onion, and a few random green beans. While the dish was generous in size and blasting with flavor, the spices were too overpowering and way too salty. I could only eat a couple of shrimp before chugging down a glass of water.The peavine was smooth, tender, and very garlicky. However, it was basically drenched in oil which detracted from the taste.The salt and pepper squid was lightly battered and deep fried. It came with a bedding of raw or almost raw cabbage, onions, red chili peppers, and jalapeños. The squid was nice and chewy, but I've had better calamari elsewhere and we had to throw out the bedding because none of us wanted to eat the hot or pungent raw veggies. The Dan Dan noodles were flavorful and the noodles had a good chew. You could taste the sesame and chili oil in the sauce. However, I found it extremely oily and so I would recommend eating it with rice rather than on its own.Personally, I'm not a huge fan of deep fried, oily, or overly salted foods and so I don't think I'll come back again anytime soon. With that said, this place had lots of takeout orders and so maybe it just caters to a different crowd of eaters and regional tastes.Overall: 3/5 for food

I live nearby and order take out here often. They are always very fast in preparing orders. This restaurant has American style Chinese food in addition to Szechuan and has something for everyone. I highly recommend the eggplant dishes (especially the eggplant, potato, and green beans). The eggplant is soft and perfectly seasoned with a rich soy flavored sauce that pairs perfectly with white rice. I am obsessed with this dish and always order it. My boyfriend likes the mapo tofu and chong qing chicken/fish. They have an extensive menu so I have to try more things here. They also have lunch specials from 11-3pm every day which is a great deal at less than $12 a meal.

Got the walnut fish which I hadn't seen before. Usually get the walnut shrimp. It was alright. Maybe a little bland compared to the shrimp. It wasn't bad but not something I would get again.The place was empty. I guess most of their business is take out.

Great dinner!! It was so good, left me wondering if there is a new chef. Pot stickers and sauce were very good. Would have like a but more crisp on the one side. The only tweak I could ask for in this meal. The honey walnut prawns were the best I've had. The Mongolian beef was great, very flavorful. Loved the dry sautée green beans. And the combination fried rice was also very good. Maybe it's better dine-in vs takeout, but all I know is very enjoyable meal!

I ordered through door dash so I can't say anything about the service, but the food was pretty bland. It's like a white version of Chinese food.I got dan dan noodles, wontons, and kung pao chicken and somehow they all managed to taste the same. No sweet, sour, salt or heat.
