If I could give negative stars I would. Terrible food. If you want 4 pieces of chicken in a large entree for 18.00 with “fried rice” this is your place. We called immediately after receiving food to let them know it was unacceptable (90% green beans) while the delivery driver is still outside. offered to give it back to the driver and they insist on taking ALL the food. And said we should have ordered extra chicken which would have been 8 pieces for $20… not sure they understand the problem. Stay away

We walked in to sit down. The woman at the register didn't look at us or greet us. She just mumbled something and pointed at a menu. I asked if we could sit and order and she said we'll take your order if we're not too busy. There was no one in the place except for my date and I and two other people who both looked traumatized by the waitress.

We left. Don't bother going to Szechuan unless you're a masochist who is looking to risk an e. Coli infection.

This used to be my favorite takeout spot in town so it pains me to write this but I’ve ordered from here dozens of times and this time they messed up my order SO bad they had to have done it on purpose which is the only reason I’m writing this. I ordered sesame tofu with white rice like I always do as I am vegan and allergic to eggs. They sent me chicken or pork and fried rice??? I’ve worked in the restaurant industry and I honestly don’t see how you can mess up an order THAT badly without being intentional about it. Another time a few weeks ago they sent me fried rice instead of white rice by mistake but I didn’t think anything of it so I continued to order but I added a special note to my order asking them to please make sure they sent me white rice instead of fried rice as I have an egg allergy and set it to “if not available cancel entire order” as I didn’t want to waste more food and today not only did they send me fried rice but they sent me meat? I think the only thing they got right was the sesame sauce which makes me think they didn’t switch my order in the wrong bag but they intentionally sent me the wrong things for some reason. The whole thing felt like a slap in the face as I’ve been a loyal customer of this establishment for years. Sucks to have to find a new takeout spot because the food was good though. I know losing one regular customer won’t make a difference but PLEASE do not do this to people choosing to spend their hard earned money on your food, I hate to be a Karen but do better by your customers.

Wontons were old and dry. Received fried egg rolls instead of spring rolls. Fried wonton strips old and stale.

I’ve been ordering from them for a while now, and I cannot believe that the chicken and broccoli that I ordered which I ordered pretty much once a week has been skimped out to where it is 90% broccoli and one to 2% chicken for an entire tub that I spent $14 on I swear they use three crowns of broccoli and less than a quarter pound of chicken. I could not find eight bites worth of chicken in it and this is coming from someone who absolutely loves broccoli. I eat it almost daily. I put it in my omelettes at home. I love broccoli but when I’m paying this much and I’m not getting any chicken, I’m upset

We were the only customers in the restaurant. The owner waited on us.Plus answer the phone and gives customers who ordered for take out their food.I would recommend calling order in for pickup.

I’ve been coming here since I was a kid. Best food in town. Love them all dearly!

The food is sub par and over priced but the service is the worst part! Any chinese food place tou go to gives you sweet and sour sauce for wontons right? Not here I had to go in after having received my food just to be told I have to pay for a sauce that is supposed to come with the item I ordered. Not to mention not a single piece of silverware or plate was given either. They completely messed up part of the order and didnt even bother to properly identify which egg rolls had pork and which were vegetable. Now I remember why I hate coming here

This place is the worst. The food is barely ok and they charge extra for things that are supposed to come with your order. They don't give utensils or napkins.

I have legitimately never left a bad review for a restaurant before but I was blown away at the poor quality of this food. The cheese Rangoon was dry and crumbly (honestly how do you even do that to deep fried cream cheese?) and was just that, no seasoning or anything in it. The fried rice was literally white rice they threw some soy sauce on? Like not a single veggie or egg, much less looking like it was refried. The lo mien and double fried pork were flavorless, the DF pork was supposed to be spicy but it would have had to have flavor first. The veggies were well cooked, I’ll give them that though. The egg foo young was particularly gross, a soggy mess with a gravy that seemed straight from a jar, and like, an expired one at that. The shrimp tempura was sadly the best part? And it was still not great, more like a Long John Silvers shrimp than anything. No joke I had to put it all back into a wok at home and add sesame oil, hot chilli crisp, fish oil, gochujang, and other seasonings just to make it edible and get some of the bang for my buck. Really sad considering how ordering out is already so expensive, you expect at least an edible dish. Absolutely the most dissatisfying Chinese food I’ve ever had, and I once went to that $4 Chinese buffet in Harrisonburg so that’s saying ALOT.

I used to deliver food from this place years ago. I just stopped in to grab dinner and asked for General Tso’s chicken with the side of rice subbed for lo mein. I was told it would be a slight upcharge (14 DOLLARS), and received the most poorly cooked chicken with mediocre sauce, TWO SIDES OF RICE, and lo mein noodles that literally just tasted like char. The friend I was with got sweet and sour chicken, and the sauce simply tasted inedible to me. The eggroll was just like every other eggroll I’ve had in my life, so I guess that was the highlight. Not going back

I first ordered here about 4 years ago and was pretty impressed. After my last order I felt the need to be a “Karen”. It has gone down hill each time I have been back. Our order of Kung Pao Chicken was completed burnt. Obviously left to long on the stove and just popped into a container. Unfortunately that container and food was our order. The General Tsos was as expected and tasted good. The Fried cheese wontons were also burnt. Will stick to Ming Dynasty or Chopsticks from now on.
