Szechuan Restaurants near Columbia, MD

“Everything was delicious. Hot and served up right. Temperature, Presentation…… Excellent. The Sweet and Sour Chicken was the best I ever had and the egg rice was amazing! I loved the service and bartending from Nikki. She was awesome. The scenery is great. Plus this restaurant is pet-friendly.“

“All I can say is this is the top 3 best Chinese food I have eaten in all of Southern California, NJ/NYC, & the DMV. Pepper House is a small mom & pop shop that seems underwhelming from the outside. The interior is simple and reminiscent of mainland China. Needless to say, when eating good authentic Chinese food. the only important thing is taste. Pepper House does it right with with the mala and Szechuan pepper corn. The Beef Dry Pot included chili oil, Szechuan pepper corns, beef, spam, lettuce, fried tofu skin, lotus roots, kombu, and thin slices of potatos. It was amazing. The collection of flavors, spices, herbs, and richness of oil releases an immense rush of dopamine. The fresh crunch from the lotus roots helped add texture to a rather soft dish. The Chendu Wontons were the biggest surprise. The wonton was packed with pork and the skin was cooked to perfection. Additionally the dumpling skin was perfect, neither too thick nor too thin. Again, the richness of flavors, oil, and spice was to die for. While dining in, there were a few online orders for the dry pot, which is amazing. BUT if you have never tried the Chengdu Wontons, I strongly recommend them. The food was great, but the auntie who works at the front was super friendly and constantly checked up on us. She even recommended getting the wontons less spicy and offered to add more spice if I wanted more after tasting. Please try this place out. It belittles major franchises like Din Tai Fung and Paradise. Im looking forward to coming back here every time I visit the greater Baltimore region!“

“Ever since we found out about this place, we've been here almost every week. It's a good thing we don't live closer because we would have been here everyday. We've tried different dishes each time and have yet to encounter a dud. Everything we've tried was amazing! I'm usually not the biggest fan of Sichuan food because I feel the spice just overwhelms all other flavors. But not at Tea Horse! The red peppers add fragrance and aroma but not much heat (if you avoid eating the red peppers directly).I highly recommend the Chicken with Sichuan Pepper, Kung Pao chicken, and the stir fried cabbage (how in the world do they make cabbage taste so good?!). Honestly you can't go wrong with anything. The only things I wouldn't order again are the soup dumplings and pan fried dumplings...not that they aren't good, but I've had better. When there are so many outstanding authentic dishes to try, why settle for anything less than spectacular? I can't wait to go back!“

“i come here every saturday and oh my gosh it hits the spot. big portions for the price! the staff are really friendly and welcoming, the place is always clean, and it's always fun to watch them interact with the regulars by name. probably the best chinese food i've ever had by a mile. my favorite go tos here are sweet and sour soup and the tomato pepper rice. ^__^Vegetarian options: the bean curd meals are amazing :D good veggie options“

“Your experience will vary based on what you order. I liked the Peking duck and crab rangoon here. The duck was quite fresh and the skin was crispy. There were a lot of pancakes (probably not the right name) but we still had to ask for more because there were a lot of duck! The crab rangoon was sweet and crispy. It tastes pretty unique actually. I highly recommend both dishes.We also ordered fried lotus roots with some vege but they were out of most vege as we went there quite late at night. It tasted quite good but also a good amount of spice. I have a feeling that most of the other dishes will taste good too.The decor is quite okay. Imagine an up-scale Chinese restaurant with rich owners. It's too far of a drive for me to frequent this place but if I'm ever in the area, I'd eat here again.“
