Szechuan First Restaurant

The best Chinese food ever. My team and I come every week. I don’t know how Jenny does it, but she makes sure the food comes out super fast and right on time with our large order. This place is definitely a hidden gem if you have not been there before.

great food, service, big portion. reminded me of home… just need achochol

I ordered the fried rice and ended up with food poisoning. The customer service is shitty and the manager is a dick.

Very good authentic szechuan style flavors. They were about to close when we got there, but the service was still good, as well as the food. We tried wontons, chicken chow mein, szechuan chicken and Mongolian beef. Family friendly place with attentive service. Waitress was Very helpful in selections they made well. Very good and highly recommend.

Food quality: 4 stars
Customer service: 0 star
One of the best food around the area, but their customer service is just the worst. I am not sure what is the wrong with their faces, but their attitude was just terrible. So sad, they have such great Chinese food. I will not be back again.

Hidden in a corner next to 99 Ranch Market, this place offers great Szechuanese cuisine. My family came here on New Year’s Day to just grab some food to eat after a long day with family.
Among the four of us, we ordered scallion pancakes, Szechuanese wontons, Szechuanese boiled fish, the house chow mein, garlic pork short ribs, and spicy beef noodle soup. A lot of food that filled us up completely.
The scallion pancakes were not the best. Little dry and we used it more to eat with the fish and soups. The wontons were alright. I have had better. The sauce was good and had a good kick, but I thought it could be more flavorful. The garlic short ribs were well cooked and had a great crunch. However, they were pretty salty so be aware! (I personally love salty foods so I was okay with it)
The stars of the meal were the spicy beef noodle soup, boiled fish, and the chow mein. The chow mein noodles were made perfectly and the seasoning of the sti fry was perfect. I believe it had pork in it and everything tasted very good. The spicy beef noodle soup is just a classic in this cuisine and they made it very well. Great flavor with generous portions of meat. The boiled fish was wonderful as well, with generous portions of fish that were soft and flaky. The soup/​sauce had great flavor and was a perfect mix with rice.
Overall, great place to go for a meal and one of the better Schechuanese places in the area!

Service wasn’t good and food was mediocre. They seemed more interested in catering to the Asian customers than us. Won’t be coming back.

I was really surprised by how good this place is. It’s a large, clean restaurant with on-​site parking and quick service. The food was better than average. I would certainly return.

Came to this restaurant with my wife after a 6 hours drive. We were both really hungry before we went to Great Wall shopping wall. So we went in and waited for the staffs to take us to the table. We stranded there for 5 mins. No one come by or talk to us. We had eyes contact with at least 2 staffs and they saw us too. Disappointed and I can tell the service won’t be too good anyway. Come on people!!!

The worst service ever!!! We made a reservation for eight three hours ahead before we went to the restaurant. However, they told us there’s no table available when we got there! There were three big tables but he said they were already been reserved by others from yesterday! When we asked them why they didn’t tell us when we called. He said we didn’t promise there will be a table! We drove for 40 mins to the restaurant for nothing but bad attitude! The workers had the worst attitude when it actually their fault! I will never go to this restaurant again and I recommend their owner to improve their service!

Great authentic Chinese food. The staff is very helpful, prices are very low for both Lunch and Dinner. This place is filled with people who know and appreciate real Chinese Food. If you really like spicy food the «Boiled Beef» is EXCELLENT. Everything else is also really great.

This place does not fail to disappoint. I’ve been back 2 out of my last 3 trips to Seattle. The pea shoots are an absolute must. Hands down the best vegetable experience that I’ve ever had. Spicy beef tendon is also delicious. We enjoyed the Szechuan chicken and the smoked duck as well. Our friend got the tofu and broccoli in brown sauce which was also well done! Great, speedy service and delicious food. We’ll be back!

Excellent Chinese food at very reasonable prices. Peak lunch hour can get busy and involve some wait time. Best to go there pre-​noon, or after 1pm.

I dare you to find better Szechuan cuisine in Renton. Actually, I dare you to find any better food in Renton. I make it a point to go once a week, just to try something new on the menu.
Top props go to the Dan Dan Noodles, and Chon Quin Chicken.

We went there during lunch, sat there for over 10 mins without anyone giving us water or taking our orders. Then we waited another 15 mins for our soup and when they come, they gave one of us the wrong soup. We then waited for over 30 mins and none of our ordered dishes show up at all so we left because we would have been late for work if we had kept on waiting.
I ended up going back to work without lunch because there weren’t enough time.
Then I got diarrhea from their watery «soup» overloaded with pepper to hide the watery taste and lack of favor.
Stay away from this place.

That Big Wall Mall or whatever, this place isn’t there. Drive into the Harbor Freight parking lot. Go past it. there, now its in front of you.
The food here is 5/5…absolutely excellent. The older waiter was good but the females here are way big headed… dropping it down 2 stars for the obnoxious attitude.

Friday night! Where 2 go 4 dinna?
We came here b/​c we know 2 things: their pea vines r off the hook n their eggplant n tofu is beyond the wall
this time, we got there around 8:30; perfect time b4 they close @ 10pm. the place was busy filled w/​fellow Chinese folk that enjoy family style n by the way, u can bring ur own cases of beer?!
we had cumin short ribs, crispy and spicy fish, eggplant w/​tofu n pork fried rice. all dishes were tasty, the fish wasn’t 2 spicy, but it was packed w/​flavor, pork fried rice was greasy w/​long strips of pork, the cumin ribs is the best I had 4 a Szechuan dish so far
1 thing: I do not recommend their dumplings; they r not good, little filling n flavor packed in them, as I ordered this as well
the service was excellent, not ur usual Chinese restaurant, where service is bad n the servers don’t talk b/​c the 1s here talk n joke
restroom was cool
after our family style dinner. don’t 4get the pea vines! we ordered some 2 go home as well
1 of the best Chinese places here n leftovers 4 days!

Came back with the family and the food was still delish. Got the salt and pepper tofu which was bomb! We ordered a bunch of other sides too all of which were very good compared to any other Chinese restaurant in Kent…

We often choose where we eat based on Unilocal reviews. This place DID NOT disappoint! The food was fantastic and reasonably priced when compared to some of the nearby competitors. Heck … it was reasonably priced for anywhere. And the portions were substantial. We could have ordered one less dish has we known how much food we would be getting.
I also read all of the reviews before choosing this place. I ordered take out, so cannot speak to the service, which seemed to be the only real complaint people had. That being said, I would come back for the food even if the service had been poor. It was that good.
We ordered,
Honey walnut shrimp: 16 good sized prawns, which is more than we have gotten elsewhere. Perfect flavor and texture.
Orange chicken: could maybe have used a wee bit more sauce, but the sauce it did have was good and the chicken was not over breaded like some places.
Chicken chow mein: biggest chow mein noodle I have ever seen. Love them!
Potstickers: adorable and yummy.
We ordered white rice for three and it easily could have served six.
I had to ask for fortune cookies because there were none in the bag, but once I asked the guy behind the counter put two handfuls in a bag for me.
We will most definitely be making the fifteen minute drive to this place again, and I would recommend it in a heartbeat.

I love Unilocal but it goes downs for maintenance as the most irregular times. I couldn’t check-​in tonight…
This restaurant is not a close drive ftom my Sea-​Tac hotel so it was only because of the great Unilocal reviews did I choose to drive across the Kent valley for dinner.
This is not a fancy restaurant, but it certainly was comfortable… and busy… that tells you something.
I ordered the hot & sour soup, spicy beef, and stir-​fry shrimp with spicy pepper. All my food arrived prompt, hot and smelling great. That was as far as it went… the soup had a consistency and color of a brown gravy, and I didn’t care for the flavor… sorry. The stir-​fry shrimp was awesome… very tasty. I enjoyed this dish very much. Last was the spicy beef… it lived up to its name… it was very spicy, so much so that I could only eat a small portion of it… sorry, again.
This restaurant was busy tonight… many people obviously enjoying their meal with family and friends. Perhaps I picked the wrong items. I have eaten hot & sour soup all over this world… most times it was quite tasty but some times not so tasty… tonight it was not very good. Then came the spicy beef… good flavor… but spicy!!! Perhaps I under estimated the spicy beef but I really expected to ser some veggies in the mix, not just firery beef.
Three stars tonight for atmosphere and spot on service. Next time I will look around and pay more attention to what others are eating and choose accordingly.
With that said, there is by far a 90% Unilocaler approval… read the other yrlper reviews… and don’t forget, this is a family run business. Show your support, give then a try!!!
