Szechuan Inn

My Mom and I have a longstanding joke that every time I come home I ask her, «Is Szechuan Inn still open?» Luckily, over all these years, its still there.
Everyone has that local Chinese place that we grow up on, for me, Szechuan Inn is that place. Even as I’ve change locations for school and work, I still enjoy coming home to get Szechuan Inn, and not just because I’m a homer, but the food is actually really good.
Over my travels, you can definitely tell the difference between what I like to call «clean» Chinese food and «not so clean» Chinese food. Clean Chinese food is stuff that tastes fresh, isn’t too salt laden, and doesn’t look like something that will send you to the hospital after eating. What I really like about Szechuan Inn is that their chicken dishes, like their orange chicken and generals is made with white meat chicken. Their chicken isn’t the typical tendon laden and fatty chicken that you might get at a lesser Chinese place, this is clean quality stuff. Eating at Szechuan Inn not only satiates my palate and my stomach but also my soul.
Although its just a joke when I ask my Mom every time I come home whether or not Szechuan Inn is still open, if the day ever comes when she says no, I’ll surely be devastated.

I have carried out twice from here but would never want to dine in. The inside is the most uninviting place, it doesn’t even feel like a restaurant and the fish tank when you walk in looks sad and dirty. But the food is very good! My latest order was General Tso’s chicken, chicken & broccoli (brown sauce, not white), veggie lo mein, and spring rolls. The spring rolls had very distinct flavor with cinnamon or nutmeg in them? It almost tasted like eating an elephant ear (fried dough with sugar) with bean sprouts and cabbage or whatever else is in the spring rolls… what I’m describing actually tasted pretty good, but I’ve had better spring rolls elsewhere. Overall the food is very flavorful, portions are decent, prices are fair (the above selection fed 4 people for $ 30). I will be back for another carry out!

Horrible service! Took over an hour to get our food. It was cold and when we called, they transferred me to at least three people to say my food is on its way. Don’t recommend!

Having gotten sick at TenTen for the last time, we tried this place. Obviously a mom and pop run restaurant, we seem to have come when the kids came out of school and were having dinner.
Me and my wife ordered eggrolls, general tso, and szechuan duck. The mix for the eggrolls is obviously homemade rather than the premade kind chinese places tend to have; the eggrolls are also among the crispiest I’ve ever had and the least greasy too… the eggrolls were so good, we ordered another order of the eggrolls and proceeded to eat too much food. I can’t think of a place with better eggrolls.
The general tso’s chicken (delicious) was crispy and had crispy veggies too. The sauce was well-​crafted and was not too sweet like most nearby places tend to be. My wife’s szechuan duck was delicious, the sauce was also well-​crafted; my wife enjoyed her dish.
Unlike most restaurants, I tend not to touch the rice accompanying the dish but here, the rice has a nice level of stickiness but not to the level of gumminess and a lovely sheen to it too. It was the best white rice I’ve ever had. I finished mine and my wife’s who was stuffed by this point.
At no point in my meal did I feel any of the dishes to have a greasy feeling and honestly speaking, it was the best chinese food I’ve had in a few years and I’ll definitely be back.

This is an excellent go-​to lunch spot with my husband. He likes to switch things up and try new things whereas I love my trusty favorites. We always get the egg rolls and crab rangoons and aren’t disappointed. I like the Szechuan chicken and General Tso’s chicken. Their spice levels are great for me — I love a bit of sinus clearing during my meal.
The lunch prices are great! It tends to be almost creepy-​empty, which also makes it great for conversation. Try it!

Awesome food and they deliver now so I could ask the Chinese food is amazing. I got the egg drop soup the eggroll and the chicken and broccoli with white rice and all of it tasted very good and the delivery driver was very nice and was very prompt

Just moved to the area, so looking around for Chinese restaurants seems to be a futile exercise. The place here serves alright Chinese food, if a little Americanised. But it’s cheap and tastes average, if not as authentic as the name implies. Been trying stuff like 芙蓉蛋 and their 湖南鸡, it’s not quite what you’d call Chinese, but good enough at least for the area.

Decent service and speed of food. Three stars because when I asked for vegetable spring rolls that show on their online menu, I got rolls that contained cabbage and pepper. Literally. Do not order that. I expected some more flavor, maybe some other vegetables as well… I also ordered a veggie lo mein and a broccoli in garlic sauce. Broccoli was amazing lo mein not so much. Plus they had no siracha… or even any form of hot sauce. When I asked they told me they only had spicy mustard… for noodles? Whattt. I would come back just to pick up broccoli to go and make the noodles as home.

We have still been ordering food here and they continue their amazing service! We have 4 Chinese restaurants within driving distance of our home and one delivery place that’s closer but the folks at Szechuan Inn are always fantastic to deal with. A+++ service and great food!

This place has been here for a long time. I always went to one of their competitors. Boy have i been missing out. I have been here a few times. I love this place. Not the best looking place but the food is really good. I always get moo-​shoo chicken. The hot and sour soup is also really good as well.

This is a pretty decent Chinese restaurant for the area owned by a very nice Chinese family: reasonable prices, generous portions, wide selection, lunch specials, fast service for take-out…I would come here again. This place is much better than Great Wall Express down the street that tried to pawn off a bag of dried crispy noodles in bean sprouts as chow mein.

It’s really hard to find a good Chinese Restaurant in Kalamazoo area. Szechuan Inn is pretty good. I love their Hot & Sour soup, Szechuan Beef, Singapore Mai fun, General Tzao’s Chicken, and Mussels with Brown Sauce (this item is not on the menu, you have to ask for it.) Everything is excellent, which includes the friendly service. Love their delivery services, too.
