Literally my favorite Chinese restaurant of all time! Lil Schez (as me and my friends call it) is a staple in every state college international student’s PSU experience. Their Mapo tofu is TO DIE FOR! My only regret is that when I leave, Mapp tofu as a dish will be dead to me as nobody can beat Lil S when it comes to it. Definitely a must-try!
This was my favorite Chinese restaurant for nearly a decade. The food is usually great. However, the exorbitant price increases over the last 10 months, far outstripping inflation or increases in any other restaurant, are ridiculous. Prices are up nearly 60% from a year ago. There is no justification for these increases. For comparison, better restaurants in the DC metro area have only raised prices 10-20%. Why is a spot in State College more than doubling the increases of the DC area? The answer is simple. It's nothing but greed. Let's see if they drop prices after inflation dies down. My bet is they won't.
Little Szechuan is our favorite go to for Chinese food. Once again, they did not disappoint. In fact, I would say my hot and sour soup was better than the last couple of times I've had it here. The sesame chicken was very good. It was well cooked, giving it a bit of a crunchy texture, but not overcooked or dry. We had our food as take-out, and it was still warm enough when we got it home. Portions are GENEROUS, so I had left over for supper tonight.
Best Chinese bar nun. You'll pay for it, sure, but there's a reason this place is always busy.I have lunch with a friend here from time to time, and we've always had our food in time to get back to the office on time. Highly recommended, and a must for spicy lovers!Beware of parking here though, it's definitely one of the busiest places around.
I ordered - "diced chicken with three peppers." I enjoy spicy food, but this dish was weird. It had an overwhelming taste of ginger (at least that's what I thought it was); so much so that my tongue got so numb with ginger that I could not taste anything else after the first couple of bites. I wished I had ordered the fried rice that the girl at the next table seemed to be enjoying. Note: this review is for the above item only. I will visit this place again and try a different item - and will review it separately.
Friendly staff and great food. The fish chili hot pot was delicious as well as the spicy shrimp and dumplings in chili. All three dishes were very good. The scallion pancake, however, was just not good. It came as thin deep fried wafers with very little scallions in it.
The food is actually tasty unlike everything else in State College. I got the sesame chicken and the egg roll. Very good. The staff is attentive. No issues
Little Szechuan is hands-down the best Chinese food in State College. The food is always super fresh and always consistent. I also love how massive their egg rolls are. I enjoy trying a lot of unique dishes they have featured on their menu. Definitely has turned into a regular spot. You need it and crave it.
Great flavors. A bit on the spicy side for me but really good. The spring rolls are delicious but small....I want more.
I went here after a while - may be a year or so. But the prices have gone exorbitantly high. Plus, the food is not as great as it used to be. This used to be an affordable lunch space with great food. Looks like, pandemic and inflation has taken its toll..
