Asian approved!
Host was a little slow cuz it was busy, but the foods came out pretty fast after we put in orders. And they were BOMBED!! I went there for the first time and i was so glad how authentic the dishes were. But would prefer the twice cooked pork to have a little mala flavor to it. It’s also giving a restaurant in Asia kinda vibe too! Can’t wait to go back for more!!!

This is one of those restaurants that might seem from the outside like another restaurant among a sea of services next to the road. However, as someone who spent 8 years of their life in Iowa, this restaurant holds a special place in my heart and now years later, I still hope to come back and order my regular (three pepper lamb) and maybe relive my time in Ames as a cyclone.
This is my favorite Chinese restaurant. The food tastes very good and the waiter and waitress are very nice and kind. The price is right too 🥰🥰🥰 you should take a visit if you pass by Ames, Iowa.

Szechuan House serves quick, delicious Chinese food that is light and healthy, not heavy with sugary American sauces. The overall quality is excellent, with standout dishes like the Pan Seared Spinach, Scallion Pancakes, Beef w ginger and scallion, Beef and broccoli, and crab rangoons. One reviewer always gets the Hot & Spicy Chicken, calling it MILES better than alternatives, with strong flavor and the best, most fluffiest white rice. However, the price point is a little steep at $18 before tip, and some portion sizes include tiny fried bits with no chicken or empty red pepper husks, so value could be improved. The service is the best in a long time, with Tom providing excellent, patient, and funny service, offering phenomenal dinner options. The room feels funny, especially in winter, and the seats are not comfy, with no music playing, but the food cannot be beat for quality and honesty.
