I had an excellent lunch here with enough food to feed 3 of us, so they boxed it up and took it home with me. Very nice people.

We were seated promptly by a very pleasant woman. She accommodated a request for something special on our food and it was done properly. The menu was extensive and had something for everyone. The prices were very reasonable.One additional thing was the tons and tons of local art on the wall for you to enjoy viewing while eating your meal. I would definitely recommend going there for a meal.

Best Owner Award. The food is really good. Best plum sauce in the world. I prefer shrimp not breaded. Its a beautiful dish though. Three Musketeers Seafood dish X Excellent sauce. Fat Noodles W/Vegetables X Light Sauce-EXCELLENT.Good Experience. New Ceiling Decoration Are Cool. Owners Original Paintings/Art For Sale...

One person at the counter & waiting on customers in the room but she was super nice. Food not great, actually I cook better Chinese at home using a cookbook. We have yet to find a good Chinese restaurant in Auburn. Maybe we just have high expectations coming from the Bay Area that has the best Chinese restaurants!

The Szechuan Restaurant has been in the same spot for over 30 years. They havent changed the decor of the restaurant since they first opened. Before Google maps and reviews, this restaurant used to be the place to go for Chinese and Szechuan style cuisine. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. When a restaurant no longer cares about the product and service they provide, it is very apparent when you visit the restaurant. Apparently, vegetable chow mein now included chicken. The general chicken was flavorful, but the chicken was fatty. With a remodel and a new cook, this place could be a Chinese food destination that it once was. IG SACRAMENTOHONEY

Ordered the dinner A with a side of orange chicken. The food was great, and there was plenty left over to take home. The waiter was phenomenal as well, if I could give more stars I would! 10/10 would recommend

We visited this place over the weekend for lunch before attending a wedding nearby. Service was friendly, food was excellent - we had the paper wrapped chicken and broccoli beef lunch special with chow mein. Everything was tasty and fresh.

This is by far the best Chinese restaurant Ive eaten at so far in auburn. I specifically drive out if my way to eat here. The staff and owner are very sweet and kind.The food is always cooked well and is consistently good. You can order a large family meal and it be ready in 20 mins.We usually get the following items:Spicy chicken fried riceIts never greasy and is full of veggies.Sweet and Sour PorkIts not overly sweet and is perfectly fried.Sesame fried tofuMy vegetarian sister gets this every time. It is a little sweet but thats expected so we pair it with steamed white rice.Beef and broccoliThey are generous with both the beef and broccoli. The broccoli is flash steamed so its both soft and crisp.Fried DumplingsTheyre large age you can tell theyre made fresh.I also want to mention that they have paintings all over the wall you can buy from local artists and theyre really cute and well done.

We visited this restaurant for dinner, consumed house special fried rice, soup, house special noodle and other items. Unfortunately none of them taste good and food seems to be old as well, specially shrimp. Service and the hospitality was not pleasant experience. Unless they change these, i would not recommend this restaurant for dine in experience.

It was pretty good Asian food for up here in the mountains. The cheese wontons are very good. The staff was friendly and offered to customize a dish. They are very nice.

Friendly prompt service. Fresh vegetables not over cooked and tasty. Very grisly beef. Had to remove several pieces from my mouth Adjusted room temperature for workers comfort but blowing cold air on my neck and ears in March. Fair price. First persons plate came out way before other person in dinner party. So first meal was not hot by the time the second meal arrived. Atmosphere very casual. Generous portions.

Got some generals chicken and rice with a egg roll and crab puff pastry to go! It was all super tasty and very good. The rice was perfectly seasoned and so fluffy and fresh. I hid it in the fridge so nobody else would find it. I did give certain family members a bite when I reheated it for a midnight snack. That was a special treat and I look forward to trying more things from the menu. The sweet and sour sauce is good but they did forget to put the Chinese mustard in the order. Family is going to have to get their own. Lol

Tried this place for the first time and got takeout food for family of 5 with a lot of food for leftovers too.The portions were big and the prices were fair.I was impressed by the good quality of the food! It was fresh, balanced and the flavors were great.Everything was good and not soggy and over done like some other places.I will definitely be returning to eat here again. I recommend this establishment.

The first time I ordered take out the sesame tofu was the best! But the second time it was horrible and soggy like they had a new chef or something. Gave another try and it was the worst egg fu young I’ve ever eaten. It was thick and dense and didn’t even taste like egg. Egg rolls were like mush on the inside. $24 down the toilet! Ugh never again!

2022-06-11 04:10:03

The food was absolutely awful, and the chicken was grey in the chicken fried rice. The garlic chicken was way too spicy. The fried noodles for the chow mein were not edible. The happy family has disgusting seafood. It was so gross. Will never go back.

Really delicious food, and our server was really friendly. I almost gave 4 stars because they were swamped and understaffed and once we had our food we were kind of ignored. But its not their fault there was like 2 people running the place and only a couple other people dining in. LOTS of to go orders being picked up and taken out though.

Been going for years. Best food in Auburn.

2022-04-08 23:00:14

Probably the worst Chinese food Ive had. I could almost guarantee that they use microwaves to heat all of their food, the worst of the food I got was the orange chicken which I can 99.9% validate being microwaved as it was tough and bone dry exactly how chicken is when you microwave it to re-heat it as leftovers. Theres no love or care in this food whatsoever, its all prepared poorly by chef mike (microwave) avoid dining here at all costs.

Really enjoyed their food and atmosphere. Was there with our two children. Had the lunch specials (sesame chicken, general tsos chicken, broccoli beef and broccoli chicken) and everything was fresh and hot. The art on the walls was nice. The lady (owner?) who served us didnt seem to know a lot of English, but thats okay. We got what we ordered, so thats good!

The owner is very nice and considerate, but the gentleman at the counter completely ignored me for 15 minutes while he helped a guess at the table and then just stood there and then when I got my order, it was completely wrong and missing The only thing I wanted I would recommend it if they were different employees working the counter and if their food was consistent

Clean and quiet. Friendly server. Good food in very generous portions, like a meal and a half for my husband or closer to two for me. I really like that the veggies are done right, not cooked to death. I like both the egg flower and the hot and sour soups, and I can be picky with soups.

Ive tried this place twice. I ordered a ton of different things all were absolutely terrible. Service was lower than mediocre....the wait time is ok but why wait for terrible food? Fake nasty crab meat in one of thier dishes was like eating rubber with no flavor and for that price what a waste. I had high hopes for this place but sadly disappointed maybe u can find an appetizer or somthing you like but I didnt nor did my family.

I really like the food. The flavors do not all taste the same as so many other Chinese places. Lunch time is when I prefer to go as the servings are large and the price is under $7 for most lunch specials. I can ask for it to be hotter when I am in the mood.My family enjoys the Sesame chicken and Orange chicken. I like the beef and broccoli.

There werent chopsticks as one would expect but theres still fortune cookies there.I was bummed -out because Ive never been to a Chinese restaurant and not use chopsticks! : ( But my hubby and I both agreed that the service and FOOD definitely made up for it! :, )

100% best food in their genre. Can’t stop buying their food so delicious. If you get the chance get a mean here you won’t regret it. My favorite is bbq and wontons and dipping all the sauces. So good!!!

Something has changed, not the owner but maybe the cook. Food is overcooked now, especially the vegetable dishes I tried recently. It was my go to for potstickers and chow fun however my Hot and Crispy pawns were not what I expected. There was no crispiness to them at all and the vegetables were overcooked and soggy. My alternative is Chang Bros who always has fresh and correctly cooked food. It might take me a while to come back here.

Hidden gem! Vegetables prepared fresh! Cooked when you order. Flavor so good youll want to stuff MORe in! Cashew and Orange chicken are my staple foods... Reasonable prices! Phone ahead and arrive to a table full of food and Lindas art on the walls is great fun to look at. Lots of color and they are FOR SALE TOO! Fun family atmosphere with awesome hot food (ask them to make it real spicy if you dare!!!)

Review №31

2020-07-22 21:29:20

I was somewhat impressed with the food. The food was well cooked, good flavor but not too much salt. I could actually remove my ring after which is not the case with most Chinese food places due to the high sodium content. Ill be back to try another dish for sure.

Took a day to calm down…Last two take-out experiences have been memorable. Now, we have been customers for nigh on two decades because of great food and tremendous service…never again. Ordered take-out as usual, told as always 10-15 minutes. Well, only one table occupied, as usual, ah but order not ready! Lots of yelling inthe kitchen - this was happening our previous visit, cashiers indifferent. Should have left but… took an additional 40 minutes for food…should have scrammed after 15. More commotion in the kitchen. Food came out, paid & went home. Wow, cold, undercooked, overcooked…could go on. Live on the other side of town so a return wasnt in the cards because they werent answering the phone. Hopefully they all murdered each other to settle their differences and there may be something better in its place for the sake of us all!

I love shrimp curry and travel a lot, going to trail races. Canada and Alaska are yet to be evaluated, but so far, this restaurant has the best shrimp curry in the continental USA and Hawaii. We usually order take-out to bring home and eat with large quantities of brown rice that I cook up, typically around the living room wood stove or the chimera burner in the patio. Havent found anything they serve that I didnt thoroughly enjoy. Never an MSG headache. Prices are reasonable. Service is prompt.

Tried Szechuan Resturant for the first time today and was disappointed. Ordered the Broccoli Chicken lunch combo which comes with fried rice and chicken chow mein in addition to an egg roll and crispy fried wonton. Requested steamed rice instead of fried and all white meat for the chow mein. After picking up my takeout order and driving all the way back home, I realized they gave me fried rice. Plus, I dont think all white chicken meat was used in the chow mein yet I was charged extra for it. The egg roll was soggy inside, there was a lot of oil in both the fried rice and chow mein, and the main dish was bland. Doing my best to support local business but dont think Ill be returning.

Will purposefully charge you extra and act like they did it on accident. Be careful! Watch your totals! The total was 27. Receipt said 37.80. When my man said they charged extra they acted suprised, made it right, gave me 10 bucks back in cash.I go see on my bank statement they went back and charged me 39.80. GREED ISNT GOOD FOR BUISNESS! You take advantage of people who pay with card !

My husband and I drive up here from Roseville to get our Chinese fix. We have tried so many other places and nothing ever compares. Great flavor, affordable price and awesome lunch specials with huge helpings! My favorite is General Taos Chicken and cheese fried wontons. You can tell everything is freshly cooked and not just sitting in tubs waiting to be scooped on a plate. Highly recommend!

Okay so the location couldnt be more random for me as I live in Rancho Cordova, however.... we were doing some hiking and checking out Forest Hill Bridge in Auburn and afterwards we were looking for a bite and saw this place. I am always, and I mean always, on the lookout for a good Chinese restaurant, so I figured, why not? Szechuan came through with some absolutely amazing food. Ive been to a million Chinese joints and been happy sometimes but disappointed most. This place did not disappoint. Again its an odd location, but if you happen to be in the area, dont miss it.

Bland and tasted like all protein was boiled then added to the house fried rice. Basic veggies were under cooked and hard. Only thing fried in the fried rice is the egg added to the rice.

I ordered chicken chowmein, didnot know that their food will be floating in some sauce. Got diarrhea the other day at work. Avoid this restaurant at all cost. Go to mexican restaurant in the same building if you want good healty food.

Zero flavor, tough and way over priced for what it is.Panda express is 10000% better and I cant stand pandaNot sure how this place is rated so well. Either people get free food or paid for re iews.Otherwise they have no clue how food should tadte.Fried ri e no flavor and semi mushy, sweet n sour is done poorly chow meinamein had decent flavor but noodles etc were wrong..

2016-09-10 15:28:24

I think the Wor Wonton Soup is the star of their menu! The fresh flavor of the broth makes you crave it all year round! Packaging has been an issue, because if they stack the soup containers, the lids cave in. With take out, its important to put the containers side-by-side in the bag before you leave, if they were stacked without cardboard between them.
