Tacoma Szechuan

The best dishes - eggplant dish. We enjoyed the green onion pancake too but would recommend ordering more than one if you have more than 2 people. It's thin like a tortilla almost. Not tortilla texture though. Not a fan - the mushroom beef dish and the beef chowfun. The spicy beef soup with hand sliced noodles was also meh to me. May be better with normal noodles. Customer service was okay. The person that served us was very nice but they were a little forgetful. A large party would work fine here.

We came here to grab lunch after my doctor's appointment as it was close by and we wanted to go to a café that was close by. When we walked through the door, we were welcomed warmly by a lady and then directed to our table which had the menu underneath the table glass. The décor inside was very lovely as it had paper lanterns hanging above, a partition with fake bamboo, and other décor that just fit with the overall vibes. As we were browsing, we were greeted by another older woman who was unfriendly and just had a very unwelcoming attitude. She asked us if we wanted drinks and we told her water and hot tea then she just says mutters okay before walking off to get our drinks. Once she returned with the drinks, I got the twice cooked pork belly lunch special with egg flower soup and BBQ pork fried rice while my boyfriend got the sweet and sour pork lunch special with egg flower soup and BBQ pork fried rice. Again, she just mutters okay then leaves before returning back with two cups of egg flower soup. I noticed that both our cups had some leaked egg flower soup but luckily there was still plenty enough in the cups, but it just seems very sloppy, especially since it wasn't filled all the way. After a few minutes, I received my twice cooked pork and fried rice while my boyfriend only received his fried rice. It was another good several minutes before he got his entrée. It felt a bit awkward as I eat first as I didn't want my food to sit out too long and was hungry, and luckily my boyfriend eats pretty fast. However, I know there are people who don't enjoy having their food come out at separate times so just be wary. There were two tables at the time, one that had already been served and one that had just arrived and placed their orders after my boyfriend got his food. Additionally, the table that had just came in got the lady who was friendly and she was making great conversation with the guests so ideally, it would be nice to have her as our server. For example, I wanted more hot water for the hot tea as I love their hot tea and asked the lady after she had dropped off my boyfriend's sweet and sour pork and she had just walked away but after a few steps, she says something a bit louder but I had no idea what she said. Then after a little bit, she comes back and just slightly slams the hot water. I wanted to ask for napkins too but I just felt like I was being an inconvenience to her. Even when my boyfriend went up to pay, she was staring at him during the tipping section which was super uncomfortable but he just gave her a dollar because he felt that she deserved it. She didn't even come check up on us at all.Luckily the meal was delicious as we both enjoyed our entrees and were satisfied with the taste, presentation and portions. The fried rice was really good too, probably the best one I have ever gotten with a lunch special anywhere else. I also appreciate that they have the fried rice in a separate bowl and the entrée on its own plate. I'm fine with food touching each other on my plate but it feels like we get more than just having them share a plate. We will consider returning but we definitely have other restaurants in Lakewood that offers more for the same price of food but better service and food making speed.

Best chinese food in Tacoma. Great lunch specials.Fast takeout service. Overall solid place.

The staff were very prompt and friendly. However, we ordered three different dishes. They were each too salty. They tasted bland. The bbq rice tasted old. The appetizers were bland. The egg flower soup had little taste and the soy sauce bottle was plugged and would not pour. This was our family Easter meal. It was disappointing.

Excellent service, great ambiance, delicious Chinese dishes. Our go to spot.Deep Fried Fish Szechuan is amazing! Great spice, not greasy or over fried, huge portions.Mixed Vegetable with any protein is solid. Today I had it with beef, normally I order chicken. Always an abundance of protein, not just veggies.Sweet and sour was flavorful, not too much breading, a lot of chicken.Very generous portions.Worth the drive if you are not in the area.

The shrimp was the best I've ever had, hands down. Definitely coming back for another round.

I'm mostly a Korean food guy but this is probably the best Chinese restaurant in the city. The Fried fish was spot on with perfect crunchiness and spicy. Service was friendly and prompt. The ambience is quiet and chill. Would definitely come here again.

This place is amazing! The customer service is always wonderful and the food is always fresh and delicious! We love the server Sean as well as the rest of the staff. They're always friendly and so welcoming!

Oof, this place is so bad. The food is so bland and the sauces are very thin. I was very surprised since it has 4 stars but I can't imagine why. We ordered beef with broccoli, cashew chicken, and chicken chow mein. It was wild how bad it was. The meats had a weird texture and the veggies were barely cooked. I would not ever order from here again.

Fast service and the food was amazing! My new go to for Chinese. I live 35 minutes away but this place is worth the drive.
