Pleasantly surprised with this place. Take out was quick and pick up was easy. Flavor and quality is great all around. The hot and sour soup is the best I’ve had in Columbia. Looking forward to coming back and bringing friends too.

Our server was EXTREMELY RUDE when we ordered jasmine tea and the "meat dumplings" which were really steamed pot stickers/gyoza (pot stickers were listed on the menu along with meat dumplings) from the minute we walked in to the minute we left, the server treated my mother and I like we were dogs. While ordering, she was very snappy when I asked what kind of hot tea was available. And then after ordering jasmine tea and steamed pot stickers or (meat dumplings) very loudly she said "IS THAT ALL?!" Originally we just wanted tea, but I was wanting to try their "meat dumplings" in hopes that it was xio long bao. I replied "yes, do you have a problem with that?" She aggressively snatched up our menus and stormed away. Then brought our tea and food served with the same attitude. Soon after brought the check. I guess she was ready for us to leave. When I walked to the register to pay I said "hello" and she ignored me. She was watching live streams on her phone. She rang me up, with the ugliest look on her face. No eye contact, no thank you for coming in. I will NEVER come eat here being treated that way. TASTE PLACE over by the mall is WAY BETTER than this place. Their hot pots are more authentic and they have an amazing staff that welcome your business and treat you like a human!

This is the best Chinese restaurant in the state.
I said what I said, and it’s a FACT.
I was so disappointed when the place closed a couple years ago because of Covid, back when it was across the street from the Blue Note. The food is AMAZING. They have Americanized Chinese food, which is pretty good, but they also have authentic Szechuan food, which is INCREADIBLE. Try the Three Pepper Lamb, or the Cumin Beef. Szechuan food always makes me wonder why people ever started making sweet and sour chicken and… Real Chinese food is incredible!

Ordered a Doubled Cooked Pork which is probably the most terrible one I’ve ever tasted. Their restaurant should never not be named after Sezchuan.

Food was great, server forgot an appetizer, told my daughter "no" when she asked for a Sprite instead of the sweet tea since she didn't like the tea. I had to go ask for the app and order her sprite at the counter. Server slammed the food on the table when she brought it. Never checked on the table again after the orders were taken. I had to go to counter to ask for a refill.

We grabbed a quick lunch today between errands. Located downtown yet they have their own small parking lot which is nice. Getting in and out can be a little challenge depending on the time of day.
The food has always been great here. They have Americanized and authentic Chinese food here so most people will be able to find something they like.
The restaurant itself is small and the building is older. However these minor inconveniences are overshadowed by the quality and taste of the food.

Szechuan House is hands down the best Chinese restaurant I’ve ever been to. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere and the tantalizing aroma of authentic Szechuan spices.
The food was absolutely incredible. Every dish we tried was packed with bold, fresh flavors and cooked to perfection. The Spicy crispy chicken was the standout for me—perfectly tender, with just the right kick of heat that left me craving more. Sesame Chicken was a delightful mix of savory, , and sweet, and the potstickers were so fresh and juicy, they practically melted in my mouth.
The staff were just as wonderful as the food. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and made excellent recommendations to suit our tastes. They ensured our glasses were never empty and that every part of our meal was perfect.
Szechuan House is a gem, and I can’t recommend it enough. Whether you’re craving a fiery dish or something more mild, this place delivers authentic Chinese cuisine that will leave you coming back for more. A 5-star experience through and through!

The worst service I have ever experienced. Even though their food is good, nobody likes a frowny face every time you ask for salt or soy sauce. They owner/server seemed disturbed by the presence of their customers. They completely ruin your mood of eating outing and having good time. This was the last time I am ever going to be there.

Horrible service. They got our order wrong. I understand that people make mistake. But it is how the restaurant handles the mistake that show whether they care about the customer or not. They absolutely does not care about the customer. They end the call abruptly when we call to tell them that they got our order wrong, and they blame it on us for not seeing the mistake on the recipe. When it should be the waitress responsibly to take the right order. Also they did not even offer an apology and was very rude when we called them, when we were being very respectful the entire time. We will never come back to this restaurant.

We order the beef stomach, and instead the restaurant gave me pork stomach. Not a big deal, so I call back to ask if there is anything can be done. They hanged up on me….
