Szechwan Garden

Great customer service.
My favorite was the beef with string beans. Second favorite was the pork dumplings. Least favorite was the onion pancakes — they reminded me of naan bread or something when I was expecting a fried up onion ring/​potato pancake looking thing.

This is the 7^th place for chinese food ive had after moving here from Nebraska a month ago. This is the best of all the places ive had so far. The food variety is authentic but has americanized as well. There staff is very polite and always smiling, food also is cooked very fast. Customr care is an easy 5 stars. The cooking i would rate at a 3.5.

went to there on 291^th Jan. The lamb was not fresh and so dont order the lamb pot if you wanna enjoy ur meal, the vegetable was very little and seems like someone ate. for me it is really medium level right here, I mean USA, in China this sort of restaurants would be broke, you know.

Food is 5 star authentic Chinese… street level… Very good… Place is small but still very cozy… English was broken but the food makes up for any lack of understanding…

Best szechwan I’ve ever had. I went on a Friday evening and it was incredibly busy. All the customers who were eating in were Asian, which is great sign. I ordered the lamb skewers to go, and was not disappointed! The lamb was cooked perfectly, and was spiced extra spicy like I requested :) My only suggestion is, do not walk in to order take out on a busy night (the weekends). They were backed up on to go orders and the wait was pretty long, but definitely worth it!!! I will be eating there again tomorrow!

The food was ok. I should have tried something else but my food was very bland. I will try it again.

Probably my favourite Chinese food in AZ. Even though the portion seems like reduced, the flavor beats others.

We love this place. The decorations and open kitchen is my favorite. This is the most authentic szechwan restaurant in AZ. business is always pack too. Spicy water boil fish, cumin lamb, spicy eggplant, chicken skewer, sizzling rice seafood soup, name a few, so so many dish that we want to try, we will definitely going back.

Yes, this is the place to be transported to Szechwan province in China! Thank goodness for the menu covered in photos as we could not read all the hand written little banners with their dishes hanging on all the walls. There were 4 tables for 2, 6 tables for 4, and 3 very large round tables. I noticed my wife and I plus one older gentleman were the only non orientals in the restaurant, and for Sunday noon most of the tables were filled. All the staff was smiling, friendly and helpful, with the majority speaking very little English, as I initially said «transported»!
We actually had 2 non spicy dishes out of 3: Steamed Juicy Pork Dumplings. 8 splendid round pockets of dough filled with meat and soup, 6.98; Honey Walnut Shrimp, with 11 or 12 succulent jumbo shrimp and lots of half walnuts, 11.98; Salt and Pepper Calamari, a huge portion of fried Calamari with dried hot red peppers and slices of very hot green peppers mixed in. Crunchy salted pieces of tender squid perfectly cooked with delicious heat! This was a lot of memorable excellent food and we just had no room for anything else :) Service +++++, environment +++++, staff +++++, value +++++, and taste +++++!
Can’t wait to return and try other menu items, soon me thinks.

Authentic Chinese food with friendly service. Enjoyed lotus root, fresh mushrooms in hot pot and hot n sour soup.

YUM! I’m usually not a fan of spicy food, but Szechwan Garden is pretty close to be authentic, and the food here is amazing! One of my favourites is the spicy fried chicken pieces. Normally, friend chicken isn’t my cup of tea, and if you add in spicy, it’s a definite no. However, I ventured out and tried the dish here and loved it. All of the more «exotic» or authentic Chinese food is really fantastic food, and those are my favourite. Even though the service is a little slow (I attribute this to the servers not being able to hear because it’s a very bustling, rowdy, restaurant), the food is so good that Szechwan Garden deserves its five stars!

Love this place so much, I just need it to try it ones and then I became a regular, the food it’s so good, full of flavour and so autentic, the portions are good size, and the service is so friendly. My favourite is the Hot and Sour sup, it’s so delicious, the fry rice with shrimp, and the chicken with red peppers and ginger, I been trying different plates and you definitely can’t go wrong with any of them, all so good and full of flavour. Definitely a must try highly recommended.

Been here more than a handful of times and I love their szchewan dishes! Some dishes I always get at szchewan places are spicy water boiled fish (shui zhu yu pian), yu xiang eggplant, fu qi fei pian (it’s a plate of three different items you can choose from the front counter and I’d recommend the pig ear, the beef, and kidney), and usually get the garlic string beans as well. For those of you who feel numbness or tingling in your mouth, that would be due to Chinese peppercorn which is what szchewan cuisine is known for!
The food is consistently very good but the service can be lacking at times. (Went for lunch and had to fill the water ourselves). If you’re looking for authentic szchewan food though, stop on by!

If you like food that is any of these things — spicy, zesty, flavorful, ethnic, unusual, or even just interesting — you must try this place. As a normal American guy I can’t pretend to know much about «authentic» Chinese or Szechuan cuisine, but this sure seems authentic to me. Most of their menu (that I’ve tried) is characterized by lots of peppers, oil, a good amount of vegetables, and well-​balanced, unique flavor combinations. I’d highly recommend Hot and Spicy anything (especially Hot and Spicy Fish), Salt and Pepper Calamari, Lamb with Cumin, and the Eggplant dish (can’t remember the exact name, but I think there’s only one).
If you aren’t adventurous, don’t like spicy foods, or are unsettled by the presence of items like «Flaming Pig Intestines» on the menu, then… well… maybe you should sit this one out.

Came here for lunch and dinner a few times with friends.
I am impressed by how consistent and good their food is. I would like to come here for lunch more often, but they’re usually understaffed and it takes a while to get served and cashed out.
I’d recommend coming here for dinner, it’s definitely with a try.

This service here was really slow & our waitress didn’t speak much English. We had to repeat ourselves multiple times for her to understand us.
I found this place on Unilocal,of course. We had to go to the front to tell them we were ready to order after waiting about 15 mins after we sat down to order food.
We order the Spicy shrimp in the hot pot, dumplings and beef and tofu hot pot. The shrimp wasn’t bad, but it was a little dry. The beef was a bit soft and chewy, the tasted way better than the beef. Lastly the dumplings were juicy and tasty, I would recommend those.
The food was horrible, but it wasn’t great. I most likely will not come back here.

Szechwan style is not for the light-​hearted. It’s spicy! However, for the amount of chilis you see in your entrée, it’s nowhere as hot as you are led to believe. I do appreciate that they don’t go crazy with the whole peppercorns as many Szechwan restaurants do because I don’t enjoy the numbing aftertaste.
The prices are very reasonable, especially if you come for the lunch specials. For any person that remotely loves spicy and Chinese food, Szechwan Garden is a must.
Fantastic Dishes:
–Fish fillet with hot chili peppers
–Shanghai style steamed dumplings
–Hot pot with fish and beef

This is a go to restaurant for my family, and has tasty, authentic Szechwan food. My favorite dish here is the «Tong Qing Spicy Chicken», and their «Fish Filet in Black Bean Sauce» is another good authentic dish to try.
We’ve been going for a couple of years now, but recently the quality seems to have gone down a bit. Went there today when it was extremely busy, and they didn’t have enough servers. Normally I don’t mind poor service if a restaurant is busy, but when it leads to sub-​par food that’s a problem. Our chicken portion was smaller than usual, and our potato dish had too much vinegar.

Abandon hope all ye who do not like spicy food, because this place will pretty much kill you.
Szechwan Garden specializes in one thing: Hunan-​style spicy food. The walls are red, the place is decorated with peppers, the food is full of peppers… etc. There is no safe place here — virtually every single dish will nuke the unprepared from orbit with absolutely delicious heat.
I had a variety of dishes and unfortunately forgot the names of the vast majority of them, but I will say everything was good and spicy. Only one dish — a shrimp dish — didn’t have huge chili peppers added. Everything was amazingly savory and spicy, which basically made it hard to stop eating. The only negative from this food was the aftermath on my stomach — I literally ate myself until it hurt!
Service is good, but I can tell they are easily overwhelmed. I suppose this is normal for places with only 5 – 8 tables.
That being said, be seriously warned — your entire dining party must like spicy food for this place to be a good choice. If not, you’ll be in trouble!

You know you are at an authentic Chinese restaurant when you see lots of signature dishes written in Chinese hanging on the wall and almost all customers are speaking in their native tongue.
Service: The kitchen was super busy cooking food for customers who were dining in as well as keeping up with the to-​go order. Servers were trying their best to serve food as quickly as they could, checked up on orders and super polite to all customers. All of them speak little to no English, but I admire their hard working ethnic and politeness. If you don’t speak any Chinese, please be patience with them.
Food: oh boy oh boy oh boy. I haven’t had steamed dumpling and fried pork this good for a very long time. As soon as the dumpling came out of the kitchen, all 4 of us cleaned it in less than 5 minutes. The fried pork was so tender that the meat falls off as soon as you chew on it. The boiled fish was spicy as advertised, but unfortunately the fish has lost a bit of its flavor. We also ordered the hot & sour soup and it was absolutely delicious. You can tell that they aren’t cheap on their ingredience neither.
Orange and kuo pao chicken isnt chinese food. If you want to know how authentic Chinese food really tastes like, this place is it! I cannot wait to come back here again
