First of all, I am from Oklahoma and visiting Ames for a day. I saw the reviews of this restaurant and I decided to have lunch. Let me tell you that I order this pork, fish, and beef Szechuan dish every time I have a chance. This is one of the best I have had. I think for the quality and honesty of food they put out this restaurant deserves your attention (of course if you like asian food)

I always get the Hot & Spicy Chicken here and let me tell you, it cannot be beat. I've tried alternatives at other restaurants Ames and every time I do, I end up coming back here and ordering theirs because it is MILES better. Flavor is very strong and the white rice that comes with it is no joke probably the best most fluffiest rice I've ever had. My only problem is that the price point is a little steep ($18 before tip) along with the fact that a lot of the portion size is tiny fried bits that have no chicken or they are empty red pepper husks. All in all, flavor is incredible but value could definitely be improved.

They were super busy but handled everything so well. While my order was not ready at the pick up time, they were kind and attentive. I will absolutely go again, even on their busiest of days. 10/10 recommend.

A 2+ hour lunch with mentor over a hearty selection of comfort foods. Friendly proprietor/manager was short staff but did not short serve any of the customers during our dine-in.

This place really exceeded our expectations. They have some staffing issues so you have to order at the counter but service was great and the food was excellent. If you are in Ames looking for Chinese this will not disappoint!
the quality of food definitely does NOT justify the prices!! the chicken quality in sesame chicken was horrific. dark meat, EXTREMELY fatty, i got a whole fried piece of fat. the chicken itself it very stringy and dry. the sauce was very artificial and tasted like it was a pre-made frozen sauce. the crab rangoons were okay, but very hard at the ends. i will not be returning ever again. the only reason i give 2 stars is because the service was top notch and the food came out quickly.
Itâs one of my favorite restaurants in Story County... and I was born and raised here.
The outside isnât the best visually and unless you know itâs a functioning business, you may drive right past it. The interior isnât really made for a lot of foot traffic, more set for us loyal customers that would eat there no matter what setting or even takeout. They have some decor and they run the building a little on the warm side, but the food is really where it is at.
Craving some eggdrop soup. Tried Szechuan House out of convenience and was definitely surprised. Delicious. Both entrees, springrolls and the soup đČ.

Some of the best food in Ames. Lots of dishes to choose from, many of them are authentic Chinese cuisine. Super friendly staff and blazing fast to-go service.

My fiancée and I have been coming here for a while on the regular and it is by far, some of the best authentic Chinese food we have ever had.
My fiancée grew up in Brooklyn, NYC and got authentic Chinese food just about every day and this is on par, if not better than what the both of us would get in NYC!!!
Itâs one of my favorite restaurants in Story County... and I was born and raised here.

They have some decor and they run the building a little on the warm side, but the food is really where it is at.
Again, itâs on par with food you would get in NYC and itâs really good, especially the price of most dishes.
Whether youâre an Asian food fiend like my fiancĂ©e and I, youâre really into Asian culture and want to start eating authentic Asian cuisine, or even a few locals looking to try something new; Szechuan House is worth it.
