King Szechuan Palace

I’m giving this place a very positive review mainly for their Mapo Tofu. I’ve been searching for YEARS trying to find a place that makes Mapo Tofu in a truly authentic way. Back in 2010 I was living in London and there was a local Szechuan placec that made unforgettable Mapo Tofu. Dark red in color, infused with ground pork and peppercorns that leave the signature numbness on your tongue, with soft cubes of tofu. I had too many bad experiences where instead, i got a bowl of brown, gravy-​like goop with dry/​spongy tofu, and the completely wrong flavor — basically a completely different dish! I had almost given up, but then I tried King Szechuan and not only did they hold up to this London plpace, they did it BETTER! So delicious, highly recommend.
Apart from the Mapo Tofu, their house lo mein is also very good. I’m excited to try other things on the menu.
I’ve already ordered several times in the past month, no issues with delivery or food whatsoever.

Most terrible service ever! Waited TWO HOURS to get my dinner delivered!

While I had issues with the phone lady in the past, I have moved on. The food is great. As authentic as you can get for Szechuan. They kill every dish. If you get generic american chinese its ok but it doesn’t say King fried rice & chicken wings on the door for a reason.
Chicken in black pepper sauce is dynamite. its not on the menu but they’ll make it. Take a chance on any special dish. You can’t go wrong.
Why they do not have house mustard is beyond me. Start making or buying it!

I recently discovered this place on
. It’s has become our go to delivery. We actually order Chinese food way more often after finding this restaurant. They have great options, Szechuan style, which is definitely a nice twist to the usual Chinese food you find everywhere else. My boyfriend and I have really enjoyed trying some of their Szechuan dishes. Our personal favorite is the ma la chicken. I also really like that they serve vegetarian options such as veggie wonton soup. I’m not Vegetarian but the soup is way better tasting than the usual mystery meat wonton soup at other places.

Our go-​to Chinese place in the heights. Always friendly, remember our order, as we always get the same thing: Steamed vegetable dumplings (great), Chicken and Broccoli Combo (a gold standard), and Bean Curd with Broccoli in Garlic Sauce (delish).
I’m vegetarian and they do a good job at not leaving bits of meat in my meals (some other Chinese places get «cross-​contaminated» with pork or beef but oh well it’s my own choice and it’s not like I’m allergic).
They’ve forgotten my white rice once or twice but they make up for it with everything else.

Never order from this place. the menu says «fast delivery» and it took OVER 45min. when I call to check up on the order, the rude lady said that’s how long it normally takes. False advertising at its best.

Ordered delivery. An hour later after not getting food we called place and they said it would be here any minute. 20 minutes later we called again and asked where our food was. Lady hung up the phone on us. We called again to demand a refund and cancel order and lady hung the phone up again. Simply won’t give them our business anymore. Good luck.

The lady on the phone was very rude and inpatient. And the delivery person was also very rude. After I refuse to give him the so called «mandatory 15%» tip, he just went crazy and yell at me. Worst experience ever. Recommend to people who want to do something terrible to themselves.

I mean what do i expect from chinese american food? i know what i am getting into, i expect no fluffs and no wizardry. i ordered the salt & pepper shrimp, bbq boneless ribs, and chicken and broccoli. The total was a moderate price, the delivery was just at 30 minutes, the delivery person was kind and quick. the salt & pepper shrimp quality was quite good and i love that they have a brown rice option. i requested a 3 for spice level and really could’ve gone twice that. The chicken and broccoli was standard chinese american fare, a sizable delivery portion. The quality is better than most joints and cheaper than synthetic asian american fusion, so King Szechuan Palace has found it’s niche. If i am hunkering for a craving of such gluttonous proportions, their phone number is now in my phone ready to no frills and good quality take out.

This place is pretty good. VERY fast delivery! I got the general tso chicken. It was a good portion and the chicken was actually edible unlike some places around. Plus they deliver to Hoboken! I would like it to have been spicier but overall I would order from here again!

I haven’t been here in a while and was craving some authentic szechaun. While the food has been pretty good in the past, the lady on the phone is sooo rude and curt.
Seems to be a regular way of doing business as I see a good amount of other customers have experience the same treatment.
You would think since she got our order partially wrong, she would have been a little nicer regarding the situation and tried to remedy it. No such luck.
Getting the food right is the hard part and this place for the most part has that down.
It’s a shame the easy part of having a warm/​friendly counter person is where this place falls way short.
I do not care how good your food is. If you cant treat me with respect and solve an order issue, sorry I cannot give your restaurant any future business.
Get rid of that woman. Even if she is family!

Placed a order for delivery last night and wanted to use my debit card since I had no cash on me. The female who answered the phone was very rude while taking my order. She even had the nerve to tell me she did not have time to take my card info and only wants cash. I also had a bad customer service experience with this same female while picking up a order, so this was not a random thing… She’s just plain mad at the world it seems.
Thanks for the brush off lady… GOOD YEAR CHINESE CUISINE on Central Ave has better food. I would have never found that place if it wasn’t for your nasty customer service. Please get a clue for your future and current customers.

Having worked in food services for years, customer service is a HUGE plus for me when I get the respect I deserve. That’s why, I’m giving this place a bad review. I can’t say their food isn’t good because it really is. However, when I’m treated like crap as a customer, the taste of the food goes out the window. The employees here are extremely disrespectful and couldn’t give two shits about what their customer thinks. They spoke down to me like I didn’t know what I was ordering and seemed to have rushed me through my order because (I’m assuming) they were pretty busy for a Friday night. Whoever took my order didn’t bother repeating my order back to me, which is service I’ve had when I ordered from other restaurants, the woman on the phone sounded like she was completely ignoring me and kept saying ‘uh huh yea what else’. I was completely turned off by the lack of service provided.
Needless to say, I won’t be ordering from them again. I’m pretty sure there are other Chinese restaurants that’ll treat their customers better with better food.

Wow. I’m extremely disappointed to have to do this. I really loved this place up until tonight. I mentioned their terrible service in my original review, but tonight «terrible service» was taken to an entirely new level.
First of all, they screwed up our order. Not only did they give us two incorrect items, but they left one item out completely. When we called to rectify, the lady insisted that that was what we ordered. In fact, she said that we would have to pay more in order for her to give us the correct items. Obviously this wasn’t going to happen. We argued and FINALLY got her to give us the correct order (after she wasted precious time raising her voice at us). She said they would deliver it once it was ready and collect the wrong items (God forbid she just let us keep it for our troubles like every other place in the world does). Anyway …
AN HOUR LATER, we called to check on the reorder and she says, «What do you mean? You have to come get it.» Considering we got delivery to begin with and we already discussed this in our previous conversation, I couldn’t believe the audacity of this woman. She REFUSED to send her delivery guy out again.
Finally fed up, my fiancé went to go pick up our reorder, where the woman continued to argue with him. Totally unprofessional and truly unbelievable. I can’t believe that they treat people with this much disrespect, especially local patrons who order from there every single week (which we reminded her of). I am so disgusted with the way we were treated. This is not how you conduct business. They just lost a customer for life. Good to know that they couldn’t care less.

Just do it.
The Chinese food is great. Mexican food is even better. Yeah weird, I know. I live right around the corner and I’ve always ordered from here. Boneless spare ribs and chicken lo mein are bomb.
AND THEN, they started making mexican food. Say whatttttttttt? Sketchy as hell. But I decided to try it anyway. Holy mariachi. I don’t know what’s going on in that kitchen but they are doing it right. Steak burrito, chicken nachos. CHICKEN CHEESE FRIES.
You’re welcome.

Had a very bad experience with an order of so called boneless spare ribs. I wasn’t certain what the food stuff was that was delivered to me. When I opened the container there were ribbons of grissled and and burnt, 2 inch size pieces of heavily red coated «pork». I was repulsed by the smell, appearance and taste.
I immediately called to confirm if I had gotten the right food. The young man who answered the phone who identified himself not as the owner, stated that this particular food was a very popular item and there was nothing wrong with it.
I insisted that he take the food back and give me a refund and he had very little sympathy for my request. I was very upset by this as I was enjoying ordering from their restaurant at least on a weekly basis sometimes more and the fact that I was a steady customer did not seem to make a difference to him. So as of today I’m no longer going to patronize this establishment for the failure to respond to my dissatisfaction with a foul and unappetizing food.
What a shame because heretofore I really enjoyed this service and the other various dishes on the menu.
Tonight was the last time. Thank goodness I have many other choices in the marketplace for this cuisine.

In addition to the already great Chinese food, they have added a Mexican menu. I was a bit hesitant at first, but then decided to give it a try. I was very glad that I did. Everything has been prepared very fresh and tasted excellent. The guacamole and the salads, as well as sour cream, sauces and tortillas for the burrito, fajita or the steak combo were done just right. The rice and beans was also very moist.
Try it and you wont be disappointed.

My new go to Chinese restaurant fast delivery and quality food. I ordered the general tso with pork fried rice it was very tasty not too much sauce and not too greasy. The staff is very friendly

Don’t order your food from online. The price are higher than the menu!
I just moved to the area and looked up places on Unilocal and found this place. Notice that on Unilocal there is no menu! So you go to seamless or grub hub and look up the menu. The prices are way higher than the menu in the restaurant, which was put in my bag once I picked it up. So if you order from here don’t do it online.
I even called grub hub to tell them this and the person I spoke to DID NOT care and told me to call the restaurant. Like they’re gonna tell me they have higher prices online, and are gonna give me my money back!?!
This had totally turned me off and I should have known something was up because of the area. The prices online are so high! So watch out.
I’m pregnant and they just lost a customer that would have ordered twice a week!

We ordered from here a couple of days ago using
.
On the first order for this place you get 15% off.
After reading many good reviews I think I have found my new go to place for Chinese.
We ordered several appetizers, scallion pancakes based on the reviews, boneless spare ribs and steamed dumplings. Since it was a cold night we also added a large Wonton soup.
For entrees, I went with the General Tso’s Shrimp and the wife had the ginger pineapple chicken with garlic sauce. They allow you to choose the amount of heat you want on a scale of one to ten. For mine we went with a 2 and the wife’s a 4. Both entrees were very tasty and had just the right amount of heat. I really liked the pineapple in my wife’s dish it soaked up a lot of the garlic flavoring. It wasn’t overpowering.
The scallion pancakes are as good as the reviews say. And I am a big fan of the boneless spare ribs.
The delivery time was 45 to 60 minutes but we got our food on about 30 minutes which I really appreciated.
We will definitely be ordering from here again since our old place has since closed.
