The food was excellent. We had the extra fine pork shop suey ,orange chicken and pineapple chicken. Eggrolls, chicken noodle and chicken rice soups .All like it used to be. Large portions , Great service, and fortune cookies and each of us received 3 almond cookies wrapped to go. for $50.00 or more purchase you had a choice of an extra large fried rice ,either chicken, pork, shrimp or combination. Nice and quiet atmosphere.

We had the sweetest waiter ever! He was so kind, patient, and hospitable! They give big portions and lots of fortune cookies! The food was delicious!

A great restaurant, good food, and nice service.

Food was great and service was exceptional! Ordered beef with broccoli, Mongolia beef, fried rice, and stir fry noodles. Everything was ready extremely fast and full of flavor.

Worst food and even bad customer service. Everything that was ordered was overly sweet and inedible. Over priced junk that is a total waste of money. I would stay away from this place if you are craving Chinese food. Schezuan food is supposed to be spicy not sweet.

Always good! Appetizers are great here!

3 strikes and you are OUT, House of Szechwan! I understand it's under new owners. This explains a lot!This is our last and final visit to this horrible unprofessional sloppy ill-run restaurant. Our last two visits have been disappointing. Each meal is worse than the last. The food has gone downhill tremendously, lacking in flavor and substance.But today was the straw that broke the camel's back. I came in for a pick-up for a "large" sweet-and-sour pork. When I arrived home and opened the container of sweet-and-sour sauce mix, I was shocked that the container was half empty with two tiny pineapples floating inside, one sad little green pepper and No tomatoes. Not enough for a "large" portion of pork. I immediately called the restaurant only to receive an immature and unprofessional woman on the phone, who just continued to ask me for my phone number and kept placing me on hold, as she spoke in the background with her coworkers. I finally asked to speak to someone who could speak English. Unfortunately, this was no better. Just a young snotty kid who sadly was not the sharpest tool in the shed, and clearly had no business sense or professionalism himself. I was then advised that they were not going to rectify the situation. Unbelievable! I was shocked and appalled, but this only speaks volumes of this restaurant's character and lack of it. This is "not" how you run a business nor treat long loyal customers, or customers, period; and we will not be going back, nor will my family, friends, and co-workers. Shame on you, and that's on you!

We’ve been coming here for years and it never disappoints! Good food and excellent service every time. It’s a family tradition for us that will continue. 10/10 would recommend

The food was quickly prepared and beyond expectations, the complimentary hot tea was greatly appreciated, the diner's clean and gives everyone plenty of personal space, not to mention the staff are polite and hardworking. Thank you Szechwan, 5/5 stars!
