Food: Unappealing taste, decent portions

Szechwan Chinese's top dishes deliver a mixed bag at best. The Sticky Rice Balls and Egg Tarts bring some delight, while the Sizzling Rice Soup satisfies, but there's a definite lack of creativity and variety in the menu. Despite large portions, the taste and freshness of dishes have been tagged as bland and subpar.

  • Large Portions

    Portions described as generous, huge, and perfect for sharing.

  • Okay Taste

    Some reviewers found the dishes just okay or average, nothing special.

  • Bad Value

    Prices high for quality, misleadingly high bills, and overpriced items.

Vibe: Outdated and unappealing vibe

The ambiance of Szechwan Chinese leaves much to be desired. This restaurant is past its prime, with an outdated decor that carries an uncomfortable stuffiness. Date nights are marred by the crowded, bright, and loud environment, void of any modern, urban buzz.

  • Bad For Dates

    Large, crowded, bright, and loud ambiance not ideal for dates.

Perks: Ample parking, yet lacks appeal

On the upside, getting to Szechwan Chinese is a breeze with ample and convenient parking. It is also well equipped to handle large groups and provides a family-friendly setting. However, the outdoor experience suffers during peak hours and the lack of vegetarian options can be a letdown for non-meat eaters.

  • Easy To Park

    Ample, free, convenient parking positively enhances dining experience.

  • Bad Outdoor

    Can get a bit crowded during rush hour, affecting the experience.
