Phenomenal. Amazing. All the good things. We are to the point of beyond full because the food was simply too delicious. A local recommended this place to us and boy were we glad. The Szechuan flavoring on the dishes were fantastic. We got the dried pot with beef, mapo tofu with pork, fried chicken, szechuan chicken, garlic bok choy, and pan fried dumplings. The service was fast for early dinner on a weekend. Decent crowd but we were still seated immediately. We were a little disappointed by the hot green tea, but the food well overcompensated for it.

Having dinner at the Szechuan Gourmet is an amazing gastronomic experience. We arrived late in the evening's service. We were seated immediately and were offered liquid refreshment. We asked for a pot of tea.The menu was not like the typical American Chinese restaurants. They had pictures of most of their dishes.My wife had shrimp and broccoli. This sounds like a typical Chinese restaurant dish, but it tasted way better than we expected. I had eggplant in black bean sauce. Again, it sounds typical, but the taste was amazing. The portion was large, and I didn't think I would be able to finish it, but once I tasted it, I didn't want to stop eating.My wife also had pumpkin and sweet potato patties. They were delicious.There's an ample free parking lot out front, and the restaurant is wheelchair accessible. Service was friendly and efficient.If you're in Cleveland and you want Chinese food, you should definitely try the Szechuan Gourmet Restaurant.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian dishes.Parking: Lots of spotsWheelchair accessibility: Easy wheelchair accessibility

The hot and sour soup had such a lovely flavor panel that it was literally a party in my mouth. The beef & broccoli presented beautifully with brilliant green broccoli with the pop of orange from the carrots. The beef was tender and the sauce was complex and delicious. Make the Szechuan Gourmet your stop for excellent real Chinese food!

A great spot for lunch or dinner. The beef & turnips is a little ordered but delicious dish. Staff is attentive and very helpful when navigating the menu.

We like Szechuan cuisine ,so we went there and ordered 4 entrees but were very unsatisfactory. The 3 cups chicken was about a half garlic and big slices (7 x 2 cm) of ginger , but no basil and tasted too sweet .A weird creation ! The other entrees beef and green pepper was filled with about 3/4 pepper and onion and in large amount of sauce. The other two entrees were also below average rating !

Food was terrible and customer service even worse. Ordered food through their website and it was delivered through a third party, UberEats. They forgot to put the rice in the bag, when I called the store their solution was for me to "put in another order and they would add the rice with the delivery". I asked for a refund because no rice, food took over a hour to be delivered and was cold, they then wanted me to spend more money and pay for another delivery to get my original food. They then told me I needed to request an order through UberEats, which I didn't even order through to be fine with, after some back and forth they said they would call Uber and get the refund. After a hour I called back to confirm refund, they told me it was taken care of only to find out they never called. Uber would only give $5 refund on a $51 order and missing half the order. The food was terrible....I would suggest going to Wonton Gourmet and BBQ. STAY AWAY!
Service was perfect, not too pushy, not aloof. The food is great. Enjoyed the pork egg roll which was crispy and not greasy. The Won Ton Soup was not like you get in the suburbs. I think it was a beef base, not a bright yellow but a brown broth. The level of spicy is insane! The Crispy Chicken and Peanut dish had 3 chilis, my husband asked for 1 chili level of heat and said it was perfect. The Chicken with Bamboo had 2 chilis and it was right where it needed to be for people who like things a bit hotter. I cannot imagine what the 3 chilis level would be like, but I'm willing to try!!

I tried this place based on good recommendations here--got the salt and pepper crispy tofu. I got delivery so can't speak to service or ambiance. The tofu is a HUGE portion, so I was delighted by that. But only one bite and I thought, whoa it's like they forgot the pepper and in its place used triple or quadruple the amount of salt needed. I thought at first it's fine, I can get used to it, but after like 5 bites, I had to give up. It's simply inedible. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the high quality Chinese food in my home down or something? I don't know. I'm even okay with very Americanized Chinese, but not food that's just basically....a salt lick. Just wanted to at least call attention to this menu item for folks considering going here. Maybe other dishes are edible

My first time ordering just from the reviews and I was not disappointed. Singapore Noodles and spicy dumplings were delicious. Will definitely go back.

If you're looking for a place that offers options for those who want truly authentic Chinese food (chicken feet, duck intestine, etc.) AND American-style Chinese food (General Tso's, Sesame, or Orange Chicken) for those who are a little less adventurous, Sichuan Gourmet delivers on all fronts! Both authentic and American Chinese dishes taste great! It's one of my parents' favorite Chinese restaurants whenever they visit. The service is quick and friendly, although you may have to ask for water refills at some point. The place is clean with nice background music that's not too loud or invasive.
