Szechuan Food

Hidden gem! Vegetables prepared fresh! Cooked when you order. Flavor so good you'll want to stuff MORe in! Cashew and Orange chicken are my staple foods... Reasonable prices! Phone ahead and arrive to a table full of food and Linda's art on the walls is great fun to look at. Lots of color and they are FOR SALE TOO! Fun family atmosphere with awesome hot food (ask them to make it real spicy if you dare!!!)

I love shrimp curry and travel a lot, going to trail races. Canada and Alaska are yet to be evaluated, but so far, this restaurant has the best shrimp curry in the continental USA and Hawaii. We usually order take-out to bring home and eat with large quantities of brown rice that I cook up, typically around the living room wood stove or the chimera burner in the patio. Haven't found anything they serve that I didn't thoroughly enjoy. Never an MSG headache. Prices are reasonable. Service is prompt.

My husband and I drive up here from Roseville to get our Chinese fix. We have tried so many other places and nothing ever compares. Great flavor, affordable price and awesome lunch specials with huge helpings! My favorite is General Tao's Chicken and cheese fried wontons. You can tell everything is freshly cooked and not just sitting in tubs waiting to be scooped on a plate. Highly recommend!

Stopped here on our way home from Reno for lunch, lunch menu was a good deal but we opted for 3 entrees. We got beef chow mein, beef w/snow peas, broccoli w/garlic sauce and everything was delicious. We also had a sweet and sour soup to start and it all came out fast and fresh. We had plenty to take home for leftovers and they reheated just as well.

Best Owner Award. The food is really good. Best plum sauce in the world. I prefer shrimp not breaded. It's a beautiful dish though. Three Musketeers Seafood dish X Excellent sauce. Fat Noodles W/Vegetables X Light Sauce-EXCELLENT. Good Experience. New Ceiling Decoration Are Cool. Owners Original Paintings/Art For Sale...

Ordered the dinner A with a side of orange chicken. The food was great, and there was plenty left over to take home. The waiter was phenomenal as well, if I could give more stars I would! 10/10 would recommend

We ordered take out for the first time from here. Everything was so good. Individual flavors from each dish. Not greasy and super affordable. They had everything I wanted exactly how I like to order it. This will be our new go to Chinese food place! 🙏🏼

Must try!! The service is like no other. The server we had was so kind to my children, she helped clean up my young baby and was just a sweet soul. The food was great. We will never forgot her kindness. 1000/10 best place around.

We love this place. We’ve been buying their food for years. Some of the best Chinese food in Auburn.

Amazing staff! They are all so helpful and nice. Food was great! A must try if you haven’t!

Long time customer , this is a gem. I don’t usually leave reviews but I just had to… love the food, and occasionally a woman from the family will play the po ling (traditional Chinese guitar)… the best sound I’ve ever heard from a solo musician.

My favorite Chinese restaurant in Auburn. Nice people working here, food is great and well proportioned. Everything I've had here has always been delicious. Sweet and Sour Pork is my favorite Chinese dish and they do it really well.

Great value. Delicious food. The staff was very friendly. We will definitely come back!

Omg the paintings are so vibrant!!! Food is excellent staff is wonderful

Had the place all to ourselves on New Year’s Day. We were a group of 21. Service was amazing. The food came out fast and everything was delicious. 12 of our group was kids and the staff were very accommodating and patient with the kids. They brought out chocolates and cookies for the kids at the end. We had a great time. I loved the chow mein, very flavorful. Beef with broccoli and general chicken were my favorites.

Great comfortable booths for a group, be sure to order hot tea with your meal, very good hot n sour soup and chow mien, tasty entrees

Delicious food, generous proportions , liked the egg rolls. It was a good experience UNTIL the fortune cookie. The fortunes were nothing more than advertisement for a self driving car :/ ruined the entire experience.

Clean and quiet. Friendly server. Good food in very generous portions, like a meal and a half for my husband or closer to two for me. I really like that the veggies are done right, not cooked to death. I like both the egg flower and the hot and sour soups, and I can be picky with soups.

Really enjoyed their food and atmosphere. Was there with our two children. Had the lunch specials (sesame chicken, general tso's chicken, broccoli beef and broccoli chicken) and everything was fresh and hot. The art on the walls was nice. The lady (owner?) who served us didn't seem to know a lot of English, but that's okay. We got what we ordered, so that's good!

I was somewhat impressed with the food. The food was well cooked, good flavor but not too much salt. I could actually remove my ring after which is not the case with most Chinese food places due to the high sodium content. I'll be back to try another dish for sure.

It was pretty good Asian food for up here in the mountains. The cheese wontons are very good. The staff was friendly and offered to customize a dish. They are very nice.

Friendly prompt service. Fresh vegetables not over cooked and tasty. Very grisly beef. Had to remove several pieces from my mouth Adjusted room temperature for workers' comfort but blowing cold air on my neck and ears in March. Fair price. First person's plate came out way before other person in dinner party. So first meal was not hot by the time the second meal arrived. Atmosphere very casual. Generous portions.

This is a nice, larger family owned Chinese restaurant which has large portions of mildly spicy foods. One of the chefs is from the mainland China (Guangzhou, Guangdong region), where my wife grew up, and she commented that the Chicken Chow Fun was one of the best that she has ever had (in her 40 years in America). Difficult to make, and just like home made. That is saying a lot from her, as she is a Very particular eater. I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken and would say the meat, while fresh and good cuts, was not developed in flavor with the spices much. Having personally eaten a Lot of Sichuan, Hunan and Jiangxi region foods myself while visiting mainland China, I am used to a far more challenging taste profile. So I would not recommend that one. The owner's daughter is an artist who decorates this business with her paintings (which I believe are for sale too!). Very bright, colorful and original art. Check it out. Authentic (American \ Chinese) food, larger portions and fresh ingredients without MSG or preservatives are the strong points here. I think they are open 7 days a week, and long hours. Give it a try some time.

The food at this establishment is fantastic! We always order online for pickup, and their ordering app is easy and convenient to use. We have no complaints about the food itself—it’s always delicious. However, our past two pickup orders could have been packed and secured better. By the time we transported the food home (about a 15-minute drive), sauces from several dishes had spilled out of the containers and onto our car. We had another pickup order last night, and although we placed the containers in a box for transport, the sauces had still spilled by the time we got home. I would recommend securing the containers with additional plastic bags and possibly offering boxes specifically for transport.

Me and a couple co-workers went there for lunch. The food was fresh and delicious. Some of the best Chinese food I've had in some time. Great job . Will return for lunch.

The food was ok, really like the style and taste just that the rice is just off...

Something has changed, not the owner but maybe the cook. Food is overcooked now, especially the vegetable dishes I tried recently. It was my go to for potstickers and chow fun however my Hot and Crispy pawns were not what I expected. There was no crispiness to them at all and the vegetables were overcooked and soggy. My alternative is Chang Bros who always has fresh and correctly cooked food. It might take me a while to come back here.

Food was seriously average. Nothing stood out. Honestly, the best part of the meal was the cold Coke on a hot day—and that says everything.

One person at the counter & waiting on customers in the room but she was super nice. Food not great, actually I cook better Chinese at home using a cookbook. We have yet to find a good Chinese restaurant in Auburn. Maybe we just have high expectations coming from the Bay Area that has the best Chinese restaurants!

we visited this restaurant for dinner , consumed house special fried rice, soup , house special noodle and other items. Unfortunately none of them taste good and food seems to be old as well, specially shrimp. Service and the hospitality was not pleasant experience. Unless they change these , i would not recommend this restaurant for dine in experience.

Tried Szechuan Resturant for the first time today and was disappointed. Ordered the Broccoli Chicken lunch combo which comes with fried rice and chicken chow mein in addition to an egg roll and crispy fried wonton. Requested steamed rice instead of fried and all white meat for the chow mein. After picking up my takeout order and driving all the way back home, I realized they gave me fried rice. Plus, I don't think all white chicken meat was used in the chow mein yet I was charged extra for it. The egg roll was soggy inside, there was a lot of oil in both the fried rice and chow mein, and the main dish was bland. Doing my best to support local business but don't think I'll be returning.

The Szechuan Restaurant has been in the same spot for over 30 years. They haven't changed the decor of the restaurant since they first opened. Before Google maps and reviews, this restaurant used to be the place to go for Chinese and Szechuan style cuisine. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. When a restaurant no longer cares about the product and service they provide, it is very apparent when you visit the restaurant. Apparently, vegetable chow mein now included chicken. The general chicken was flavorful, but the chicken was fatty. With a remodel and a new cook, this place could be a Chinese food destination that it once was. IG SACRAMENTOHONEY

Uses some third-party for its menu, which is apparent unless you notice they URL switch. Added almost $5.00 in “fees”, “convince charge”and “surcharges” for the PRIVILEGE of using the app for order food I then have to go in and get to take home. The fees aren’t readily apparent until you checkout and easily overlooked. The food mediocre is not worth the price listed on the menu let alone worth an EXTRA $5.00 on top. Also, note the $10.50 order of fried wontons are NOT cheese-filled wontons. They’re a small serving of wonton strips I would have expected to have been given without charge liked chips at a Mexican restaurant. Read the menu carefully if you do go there. Pleasant enough people, but I won’t be back. Live and learn.

We had food delivered. Sent rice instead of chow mein. Mongolian beef was all onions with 3 small pieces of beef. No tortillas for the moo shu pork. Will not be ordering again.

Got dinner for 3 of us. Nothing had any flavor. Lemon chicken and sweet and sour shrimp both taste like bread. Everything was bland, almost gross. Never going to waste my money again. Wouldn't recommend for dog food at this point.

The first time I ordered take out the sesame tofu was the best! But the second time it was horrible and soggy like they had a new chef or something. Gave another try and it was the worst egg fu young I’ve ever eaten. It was thick and dense and didn’t even taste like egg. Egg rolls were like mush on the inside. $24 down the toilet! Ugh never again!

The food was absolutely awful, and the chicken was grey in the chicken fried rice. The garlic chicken was way too spicy. The fried noodles for the chow mein were not edible. The happy family has disgusting seafood. It was so gross. Will never go back.

Took a day to calm down…Last two take-out experiences have been memorable. Now, we have been customers for nigh on two decades because of great food and tremendous service…never again. Ordered take-out as usual, told as always 10-15 minutes. Well, only one table occupied, as usual, ah but order not ready! Lots of yelling inthe kitchen - this was happening our previous visit, cashiers indifferent. Should have left but… took an additional 40 minutes for food…should have scrammed after 15. More commotion in the kitchen. Food came out, paid & went home. Wow, cold, undercooked, overcooked…could go on. Live on the other side of town so a return wasn't in the cards because they weren't answering the phone. Hopefully they all murdered each other to settle their differences and there may be something better in its place for the sake of us all!

This place is even worse when Susan is working! The worst Chinese food I have ever had. My 4yr old could cook better. My 4yr old loves fried rice but wouldn't eat fried rice from here.

Ordered 3 dishes for just myself so I’d have leftovers over the holiday. Dined in the restaurant which was beautifully appointed & decorated for Christmas. The service was friendly & attentive & the food was great. By the time I received the check I started feeling sick to my stomach. Went directly home & was terribly sick the rest of the night & into the next day which was New Year’s Day. Had to throw out 3 large leftover containers of food, cashew chicken, kung pao chicken & veggie fried rice. $67.00 including a 20% tip. What a way to start the new year. 🤒🙁
