Great Sichuan food. Had the crispy orange beef and mapo tofu. Both were excellent, and if you are looking for a more authentic Sichuan dish, the mapo tofu with pork is highly recommended.

I AM SO MAD!!! First to the owners: What really helps a family-owned, non-chain Asian restaurant succeed on the York Road corridor is not responding to reviews of your business in such an unprofessional way. What also helps is serving excellent Americanized or countryside food with good service. Now the review! So some roads, you think you know them. You drive them a hundred times, and they're just asphalt and streetlights. But every now and then, a new place opens up, a new door on a familiar street, and you find yourself pulled in by a curious kind of dread. You think, why not? And that's where the horror begins. We should have known. The signs were there from the start. The kind of signs you only see in hindsight, when the slow-motion car wreck is already in your rearview mirror. The decor was a hodgepodge of broken promises—tables that didn't match, like mismatched gravestones, and on each one, a solitary cup of straws, as if to say, You'll need a dozen more, pilgrim, before this is over. The windows were smeared with the grime of a thousand unspoken nights, eyes that refused to see the light. When they handed us the menus, they weren't just menus; they were leather-bound relics. I opened mine, and flakes of something old, something dried, fell out, a silent harbinger of what was to come. A tiny plate of stale rock-hard wontons followed, petrified bones waiting for a lick of sauce—not that the sauces would help. The duck sauce was an old sweet, sickly smear, and the mustard, a watery yellow confession of defeat. The vegetable egg rolls came next. I bit into mine, and there it was—the cold spot. A core of profound, unholy chill surrounded by a piping hot exterior. Like a lie. You chew on it, and it tells you that something is very wrong, but by then, it’s too late. We should have run. We should have thrown open the door and fled into the welcoming neon glow of Fuji San, Fusion, Green Leaf, Miku Sushi and Steakhouse, Sonny Lee's Hunan Taste, or Umi Sake. All of which we have eaten at for years and loved… but we sadly stayed. We watched as our entrees arrived, bathed in a theatrical light meant to hide the terrible truth. The dishes themselves were simple, but in their simplicity lay a kind of cosmic horror. The vegetables had a creeping brown rot at the edges, and the white rice, once a thing of purity, carried the foul stench of mothballs, a whisper of graves long forgotten. My fried rice, for which I had paid extra, was just brown rice with nothing in it, no veggies, no meat, just a blank canvas of bleakness. The sauces were a pale, gelatinous slurry, tasting of nothing but despair and a sickening amount of corn starch. As we sat there, feeling the poison take root, the hostess passed by, cloaked in a cloud of perfume so overpowering it had more flavor than the food. It was meant to mask the stench of a place that should not be, but it only amplified the corruption. Now, as I write this, I can feel a cold fist of dread tightening in my gut, counting down the minutes until the inevitable reckoning of sweaty toilet time. I am disgusted. Not just by the food, but by the shameful, unholy pact they have made with mediocrity. DO BETTER!!!

Large menu selections. The sweet and sour chicken is made with all white meat chicken and a delicious sweet/sour sauce served over cooked rice. I highly recommend this dish. Service was excellent.

Had a bug in our water, tea cup was dirty. Waitress did not check if we need a refill or anything else.
John Thomas
Don’t come here. Terrible customer service. Very rude. Tries to up charge on the menu items including the drinks. Saw them very clearly manually change the price on the computer to upcharge. Be very careful and wary on your receipt if u come here and make sure the prices are what matched.

Great place to eat. Portions are large and prices are fair. Been going for over 15 years. Will always come back!

I’ve been a fan of Szechuan House for 25 years. When the original location closed, I cried. I don’t have words for the happiness I feel that this old stand by is a fitting replica for all of my childhood memories. The food is still fresh, delicious and creative. The service is friendly and kind. The atmosphere is homey and warm. Shockingly, the prices are as cheap as they were 25 years ago too- lunch for two under $30- and fresh sushi to boot! I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.
Ps- a new addition- bidets in the bathroom!

My girlfriend's family has been coming here after church for decades and it has become a favorite of mine. Lovely atmosphere and service and good, consistent food.
Looking for a great value for lunch? This place has EXCELLENT food and lunch prices can't be beat!!!
Cristian Terreros
This was My uncles favorite place so the family gathered here after his celebration of life and we chowed down. Good stuff.

The pic say you will be getting one thing but it’s really not that!You order from a place thinking this is dinner and to not get what you ordered is crazy!I won’t be back!Food is too damn high to get the wrong thing!!!

Booths, silverware and dishes were dirty. Had to ask for silverware so we could eat our food. Lipstick on my water glass. Asked the server for another glass upon showing her. Beef did not taste like beef. Pork did not taste like pork. Not returning Kung fu 12 is an authentic Chinese restaurant down the street with amazing food. If you want food that is not bland and actually tastes amazing, go here!
Edit: No thank you. I would rather not return to your establishment wasting my time to speak to Robert. Just some friendly advice to make sure you don’t hand your customers glasses with dark red lip stick stuck to the sides and forks with old food on them would be all.

The servers were incredibly nice and everything came quickly. The food was fresh and you get free hot tea. I ordered a veggie egg roll and the sweet and sour shrimp. My daughter got the pad Thai. Everything was so bland and incredibly under seasoned! I'm a person that never uses soy sauce, but it was the only flavor I could add to my food. If they upped the flavor I would go back but not if the food is always this tasteless.
