Lao Sze Chuan Reviews
I’ve ordered take out for a while but finally dined in. I love the complimentary spicy cabbage appetizer. I recommend the dry chili chicken and the hot wok style beef.
I love the menu's variety and freshness of the offerings. Our "go to" items are garlic eggplant and also the crispy shrimp with lemon sauce. Perfection. Spiced cabbage is mildly addictive Staff is always pleasant. Trying to order consistently during the pandemic, but am looking forward to being able to visit safely in person. 5 stars!

The lunch specials are a great deal and favorites like Crispy Shrimp with Lemon Sauce and Salt and Pepper Tofu are highly recommended. Customers have praised the top-notch food, describing it as some of the best in Chicago, and noting that it is more authentic than expected from a strip mall. The dishes are flavorful and worth the extra few bucks compared to other local places. The spicy Szechuan fish is a highlight, flaky and tender with fragrant chili and Szechuan pepper. Eggplant is also a popular and yummy choice. The food offers good quality and quantity, and the staff is friendly with quick service. While prices may be a bit high and some have noted issues with rice freshness or staff attitude, overall, the experience is enjoyable. Vegetarian options like tofu are available. Many find it to be one of the best Chinese restaurants around, making it a recommended spot for those seeking flavorful and authentic Chinese cuisine. Recent reviews highlight quick service and friendly staff, with dishes like the chef’s special chicken, combo noodles, twice cooked pork Szechuan style, and sautéed green beans offering fresh and flavorful tastes. Customers often praise the tender chicken, rich sauces, and well-prepared fried rice, emphasizing that the food feels made with care. Overall, Lao Sze Chuan remains a top choice for authentic Chinese food with good quality, flavor, and friendly service.
