Szechuan Opera is a highly recommended Asian restaurant located on Park Avenue, offering an authentic and bold Szechuan cuisine experience. The moment you step in, you'll be immersed in a beautiful Asian-themed atmosphere. The menu boasts an excellent variety of dishes, including Dim Sum, and the portions are generous. The service is friendly and attentive, making for a great overall experience. Many visitors enjoy celebrating special occasions like Chinese New Year here with their special menu, which adds to the lively atmosphere. The food is consistently fantastic and full of flavor, with some dishes like the fermented cabbage and fish soup described as magical. The spice level is often intense, especially appreciated by those who enjoy a strong kick. Fans of authentic Chinese dishes, such as Szechuan beef soup and the clay pot, find the flavors rich and satisfying. The beef is tender and flavorful, and the soup is especially good for recovery from a cold. Dishes like the dan dan noodles taste very close to those in Chengdu, with the classic mouth-numbing Szechuan peppercorn flavor. The spicy popcorn chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the sizzling shrimp dish, although breaded, is super good—served with medium spicy heat. The duck dish is good but very salty. The decor inside is so cool, with a menu that offers both classic American Chinese options like general Tso’s and super authentic Szechuan dishes, to please both adventurous and less adventurous diners. The restaurant makes up for any parking challenges with validated parking in a nearby lot. The friendly and efficient staff keep the experience enjoyable from start to finish. Overall, Szechuan Opera is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Szechuan cuisine in a welcoming and lively atmosphere.
