Tacoma Szechuan

This is our FAVORITE place to eat. We love authentic Chinese, especially Szechuan. We have searched for spicy cold noodles forever…their Szechuan cold noodles are excellent!!!!! We also LOVE the Szechuan dumplings! We order these two appetizers every time. The staff is so wonderfully friendly and love to share their food with you…if they make a recommendation, just say yes!

First time ordering from here amd everything we got was so good. Will be back to try more things. Good prices for good food too.

The food was really good. I got the hot and spicy garlic eggplant and my wife got chicken and veggies. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. The decor was nothing to write home about, but the service was very friendly and out food came pretty quick. We also both got a smoothie. The egg drop soup was really good. We would have tried the tea, but it was a really hot day so the smoothie was very refreshing.

Bottom line up front: do recommend, and will return. First time eating here as a family, we were greeted immediately by our waiter Sean, and he pointed us to a table to sit. He brought us tea and waters, and I was very patient as we looked over the menu, which they have a pretty large menu... 12 pot stickers came with the order, the while family liked their flavor, and I thought they were a good value for the price compared to other places in the area. We were impressed with the hearty braised beef noodle soup and the orange chicken, highly recommend. Sean warned us that the Szechuan beef and the Mongolian beef were very similar, and made a good suggestion of another dish, but we assured him we wanted to try both of them. He was right, and I would agree you shouldn't order those two side-by-side. The spicy chicken was a soup, and it was good, but we probably wouldn't order it again. Atmosphere got knocked down a point because the booths and bathroom is in need of deep cleaning or replacement/remodel. Everyone in the family is looking forward to a return visit to try some of the other items on the menu.

I came here with my 2 buddies as one had recommended it. You instantly can feel that’s it’s a small mom and pop restaurant with not a big staff at all, the interior is not all new and nice like some chains but that’s what gives heart. The owner I’m guessing I didn’t get his name was very nice and talkative very energetic and happy, the food came quick and we also were given tea. I’m not usually a huge fan of Chinese food but man this stuff was good, we finished the soup and the fried rice and chow mein were amazing, my cashew chicken was so flavorful and my buddy also got some super good pork belly. Afterwords the owner told us about other local places for dessert and just talked with us. Great place and very good food.
