They do a lunch menu even on weekends. They're closed on Mondays. Prices are very reasonable and the portions are large. My wife and i both did the lunch menu and we both selected wonton soup and and a pork egg roll. There's a small upcharge if you select fried rice over white rice. The soup was pretty good but on the small side. I was surprised at our portion sizes on our lunch entrees. The house lo mein with beef, shrimp and chicken was tasty and plentiful...yes we have leftovers. My wife enjoyed the chicken moo goo gai pan. Great service and food, we'll be back. read more

168 Szechuan Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

The food is simply very good and very reasonable. I must say that they make the best Vegetable Mei Fun with Tofu we have ever eaten. We have ordered it every time and sometimes two orders to take home. The Tofu Curry is very tasty with just the right amount of spicy heat. We also had the Vegetable Fried Rice and again it was very good. This place is a gem and our go to place when we are camping in SW Houston. There is plenty of seating and a calming Atmosphere. They are very kind people who operate this restaurant. I am sure you will enjoy it as much as we have. read more

The food is your standard american chinese affair but it's 1) very affordable compared to other restaurants in the area and 2) staffed by very nice and efficient workers. Also helps that the down to earth feel gives me nostalgia for the other low cost Chinese restaurants I enjoyed in my past. read more

Worst Chinese food i ever had in my life. Never have i ever had dry orange chicken....did they run out of sauce or are they trying to run away customers cause I'll never go back. 0/10 read more

168 Szechuan Restaurant - Dry and nasty - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Well, 168 Szechuan is the latest restaurant to operate at this location which has had Chinese restaurants for the past 50 years! In the last iteration, its predecessor 168 Beijing was primarily set-up as a "take - out" Chinese restaurant. Now 168 Szechuan has re-established the spacious dining room (though no diners were seated when I went to pick-up my order). The eggplant dish and Moo Goo Gai Pan were wonderful. All menu items are reasonably priced. Oddly enough, there are no pork dishes on the menu. Not even the American favorite 'Sweet & Sour Pork.' You can get small bits of pork in their egg rolls. I asked about this and was told they just don't do pork entrees. read more

Fresh food every single time. Good customer service and portion are filling and cheap. Highly recommend!

Restaurant has new management and theyre nice people, food was very delicious and flavorful i recommend this restaurant people are friendly and it feels very peaceful when eating here. read more

168 Szechuan Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

So I was referred to try this place, even thou the reviews were not so good we did. My wife's plate was the mushroom beef with zucchini and it looked really great but it was was pretty good. Very large portions. I on the other hand ordered the flat rice noodle with beef. For starters it had a overwhelming taste of bean sprouts and I like bean sprouts but this sprout was strong. As I got into the plate I noticed that they were really tight with the beef. All in all if you want a quick Asian meal that is def a twofer ( two for the price of one) go for it. Noodle plate was $9 and mushroom was $12. But if you want the real deal I suggest going to Lucky Dragon in China Town and save a few bucks. read more

Disappointed that they used spoiled meat and noodles. Hurricane Beryl left everyone without power and once the power was restored we reached out to order. Instead of throwing out meat they tried to salvage it and serve it to customers.unacceptable. read more

Definitely recommend and will be back. I've been in Houston for 3 years and Chinese food is my favorite food. This restaurant tops all the take out places I've been to here. I typically go with General Tso or Orange Chicken but we decided to try something new and go with Sesame. Really delicious! Highly recommend the pork fried rice and pan fried dumplings too. read more

168 Szechuan Restaurant - Sesame Chicken - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

I never thought the day would come where I would find my dream American Chinese restaurant. Surprisingly, I found it before the Straw Hats reached Raftel. I am not sure how "authentic" this restaurant is, but it serves up some of the dopest food I've had. My go to dish is the Chef Special Hot and Spicy Chicken Wings. Its your run of the mill chicken wings drenched in what reminds me of Huy Fong Vietnamese Chili Garlic sauce. Initially upon opening the foil wrapping it is oily, and a bit messy. When you bite in the first bite is heaven. It has the texture and subtle flavor of a chicken wing enveloped in just the right amount of spicy sauce flooding your senses. What blew me away the most from this place is the Hot and Spicy soup. It is one of the most standard items on a Chinese take out menu, and when you get the combo here it comes with it. The Hot and Spicy soup has this under layer of flavor that I can never quite put my figure on. The heat is there, and the peppery goodness keeps you craving more. Top 3 hot and soup soups I have ever had. While the decor of the restaurant inside and out hides away the true gem of a kitchen. It is genius. If you say "open Sesame" maybe you could see the treasure within. As my yoga teacher says, Namaste. read more

Love this place! Only Chinese restaurant that delivers in my area and I was thankful that they were good. Always nice, delivers within a decent time frame, and the combination lo mein is so tasty!!!!! Love these guys!!!! Also, my fiancee and I go bike riding on Sundays and we ride to 168 Beijing and sometimes we get there an hour early and the people see us there and they open early for us. They are so sweet. They have a lot of love and respect for regulars! read more

This is the worst food. we ordered 40.00 worth of food. the chicken was horrible . it was dry and had leather texture to it. we ended up throwing what was on our plates. I call and told the girl that the food was terrible. I took the two chicken plates back and wanted a refund for the chicken plates. they said no and that only credit would be given. I told her that now where was it posted that there were no refunds. I told her we didn't want credit because we weren't coming back. walking into the establishment it smells like sewage. i should have known the smell of the place it wasn't going to be good. I insisted that I get my money back she told the girl behind the counter to call the police. I lost it then threw the food back in the bag, told her to shove it and threw the receipt. it wasn't very adult of me and I am ashamed but she pushed me to the very end. avoid this place! read more

Fast and friendly service. Dumplings were tasty and prices are good. A plus that they deliver to my house!

You want cheap chinese? They've got it. Only ever ordered food from here via delivery, though I drive by their location in a strip mall regularly and can confirm it's a hole in the wall. Which is probably most of it's charm. We've ordered a pretty good spread of different entrees and never really had a complaint. For cheap chinese food, the quality is quite good. Anyone complaining about this place and/or their misconstrued expectations is a fool. Oh, and they deliver food faster than anyone else in the Meyerland area. I consistently start checking my front door in about half the time they quote. I don't know if their driver receives alot of tickets, but they get you food fast. read more

I have ordered from this restaurant twice, once for delivery and one time for pickup. Each time the food has been consistently great! The service provided is friendly, knowledgeable, and pretty speedy, if you call ahead to place your order. They also give a pretty big portion for the dinner menu. The Lunch menu prices are definitely super affordable as well! read more

This review is for our experience ordering for pickup via UberEats. This place is honestly just great - we stumbled across it looking for a cheaper lunch special after a closer place to us increased its prices, and the quality of the food way exceeded our expectations. Portions are large, and appetizers outside the typical egg roll seem to be hand-made. We especially recommend the Szechuan-style pork wantons, and any entree with shrimp in it. A lunch special with shrimp is $7.99, and as well as a good selection of vegetables (baby corn and zucchini were included with my Cashew Shrimp) the shrimp are huge, taste extremely fresh, and there's plenty of them. My dining companions ordered their own shrimp dishes today after seeing mine the first time we ordered, and none of us got less than six. And if shrimp isn't your thing and you prefer something more 'familiar', the Orange Chicken is very good and has a sauce with real orange peel, though this place does make it with a spicy kick. We'll be coming back here again and again, and I'll update my review with pictures and opinions on other dishes when I'm able to. read more

Im so glad I tried 168. The food was hot and fresh when delivered and the young man delivering was really nice. Food came about 20 minutes earlier than what was quoted but its fine. Mongolian Beef Vegetable fried rice Wonton soup (needed more onion) Vegetable eggroll (mini frozen ones from HEB Will definitely be ordering from here again to try more of their dishes read more

Had their basil chicken dinner, steamed broccoli and peppered shrimp. Needless to say but I loved it! I was highly impressed.

Don't believe any negativity you hear about this place! First off, the entire price with delivery included was 25$ for pork fried rice, sesame chicken dinner, and a large egg drop soup. (See picture to witness how they pack the containers FULL, ignore the fact we've dug in already). Last time I ordered this much food from a different Chinese restaurant, it cost 40$. It was delivered a block away. These guys charged us 1$ for delivery. Second, the flavor is amazing. This sesame chicken is the best I've had to date. Third, they prepared to call us when they got to the gate, but surprised us right at our third story apartment door. Hot food, Great service, Great flavor. Highly recommend. read more

168 Szechuan Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Epitome of a hole-in-the-wall, rundown strip mall next to a shady foot massage and all. We had takeout and for the few minutes I was in the restaurant I thought it was clean but there was no one there for dinner on a Saturday night. Ladies at the counter were very nice. Pork egg rolls - standard fare, nothing to write home about Cream cheese puffs - as you'd expect, could have used another filling ingredient like scallions or garlic Combo lo mein - pretty solid, a little salty but recognizable chunks of chicken, beef and shrimp. Large portion Honey chicken - this could easily be called "dessert chicken" or "doughnut chicken" (patent pending). Ubiquitous deep fried battered chicken pieces smothered in a way too sweet sauce that lacks any depth. Literally gritty from the granulated sugar that adorns the pieces. Kinda tastes like a Chinese doughnut filled with chicken. If they called it "doughnut chicken" I bet they'd sell more of it. I would not recommend and won't have again. I will give this place another shot but I don't think I'm going to find a Chinese takeout love connection here. read more

We ordered delivery from Uber Eats and wanted to give this place a go as we've never ordered from here before: Ordered the following: Kung Pao Chicken that comes with white rice (they forgot the rice) Cons: mediocre; lacked actual Szechuan/Chinese flavors & spice; WAY too much salt - MAJOR CON they forgot the white rice!! - not sure what I'm supposed to eat this with cause you can't eat it on its own with all that salt!! Pros: fresh produce and clean meat. Veg Curry fried rice with egg Cons: again, WAY too much salt. No other flavour comes through besides salt. Egg omelet on top as opposed to being mixed into the rice (may not be a con for some, it is for me) Pros: fresh produce Pork & Veg steamed dumpling Pros: perfect meat to veggies ratio, perfectly steamed, lovely ginger dipping sauce. Again, you can tell the meat and veggies were clean and fresh. Cons: none Bottom line - with all the salt in both the main dishes, they were basically inedible. The white rice would have helped take away (maybe) some of the salt in the chicken dish, however, they didn't include it. So now i have all this food and no one will touch it. Not even the boys (who inhale everything) because of all the salt. Won't be ordering from here again as there are far nicer options sprinkled all around Houston/greater Houston for the same price range. Ended up beings highly pricey meal with all the service charges and delivery fees. Two stars for using fresh produce and clean meats. read more

Excellent food, friendly people, family operated and owned. Food is mind blowing! Don't go to Hu's they are more expensive and the people can't speak English for a penny. THIS PLACE IS THE BOMB!!! read more

168 Szechuan Restaurant - All of this delicious food for under $20.00 Absolutely Superb. - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

Every time I order delivery they tell me 45 minutes, but it's always much sooner, it's awesome. Food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. We always order over $42, so we get a small sesame chicken free. The portions are so big, so I only order for my husband and kids. There's always leftovers for next days lunch. I always heat up my lunch in the toaster oven, not the microwave. This last time we had the steamed dumplings, cream cheese puffs, general tso's chicken, combo lo mein, and combo fried rice. All were very good. read more

After a stressful two hours of Uber eats canceling two of my orders I found this restaurant very helpful. I had to make a large order of food for about 15 clients and they were very happy with the food as well as the service. Thank you for the great customer service and quick delivery! read more

Surprisingly good considering everything. It's in a really shady strip mall next to a foot massage place named "EW Foot massage". Nothing is shadier than that. It's everything you imagine it to be -- dark, some Chinese themed decor, a fish tank and the usual banquet chairs -- it's a bare bones operation. But the food? It's pretty good for take out Chinese. It's not haute, it's not different, it's totally authentic American-Chinese, and it's tasty! I'm in between a 3 and 4 too. I took a risk and it paid off. I think it's better than Hu's down the street. I appreciate their attempt at packing things. They try. But my eggplant still is all over the place when I get home. They pack the sweet n sour sauce separate from the fried chicken parts to keep it the fried chicken crispy. Everything is hot when you get home. The garlic eggplant is my favorite dish ever (ALL THE EGGPLANT!). The general's chicken is done really well -- mostly fried chicken parts, not so much broccoli. The fried dumplings are homemade and really damn tasty. $5.50 for 12 dumplings. Unlike at Oishii, I never ever wait for my take out. I just drive up, get out, pay and leave. Very swift and fast operation. read more

168 Szechuan Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Houston, Texas

This has to be one of the worst Chinese restaurants in Houston. For an appetizer we had the crispy rice balls and pan fried pork dumplings. Both were just average and were the only edible part of the meal. For my entree I had the Mongolian beef, egg roll and wonton soup. Avoid the Mongolian beef, it was 90% onions and super greasy. Just gross. The egg roll tasted old, not fresh at all. The wonton soup was truly disgusting, avoid it like the plague. The only positive thing that I can say about the 168 Beijing restaurant were that the employees were friendly. Nope, I will not be going back....Ever! read more

I used to really like this place back in the day when they were known as "168 Beijing", but when they turned the name to "168 Szechuan" it's pretty much been downhill. They use to deliver within 5 miles but don't do that anymore and try to force you to pay additional costs by utilizing food delivery services. They don't allow take out because they're always having "situations" with their building (A lie they tell to force you to pay extra with a food delivery service). Might need to call the health department on them to help get them right. read more

So... this place used to be called 168 Beijing and I remember the food being good and it's been a while since I had it. I was on this side of town so I stopped to get an old favorite, or so I thought. I ordered a simple meal of beef with broccoli, the lunch portion. It also came with a small wonton soup and an egg roll. Pretty standard Chinese food order. I ate the soup and egg roll first because I knew I wouldn't finish everything and thought of saving some for later. The soup was meh. The egg roll was an egg roll, nothing special. Then we get to the entree. It seemed a bit off, but I was starving so I dug in. The brown sauce was very jelly like and thick. Some pieces of meat were tough with burnt edges and a few areas were cold but I thought mixing everything up would make a difference. Boy did I think wrong. After my third bite, I finally put my finger on it. I was not eating freshly cooked Chinese food but rather Chinese food that had been prepared in bulk and then reheated. I asked the hostess could fresh food be prepared to which she replied, "The manager is not here so there's nothing I can do. But I will try to go talk to the chef." After she disappeared into the back for what seems to be maybe 30 seconds she returned and said, "Yea there's nothing I can do. Sorry." I quickly gathered my things and left everything on the table. I'm actually writing this review in my car so I know I'm mad. I typically give reviews a couple of days to get my thoughts straight but, nah. They are going to get this heat. If I could give them 0 stars I would. If you're looking for quick Chinese food, keep looking. **Also I should have known something was up because nobody else was dining in. Let me remind you all this is LUNCH TIME! read more

The food here is amazing. This place is so hiding, I didn't know about it till my mom told me about it. It was a really good find for me for in Houston. I've eating at lots and lots of Chinese restaurants back home in Los Angeles and this one is one of my favorites I've been to. We had... (D1) Vegetable Fried Rice (D11) Vegetable Lo Mein (D25) Orange chicken (at first I didn't wanna try the Orange chicken because it looks spicy but wasn't spicy at all) (D32) Honey chicken (this by far was my favorite thing we got. I recommend this) And two sides of white right and two free egg rolls. The delivery was fast and it was well priced. I'll eat here again for sure. read more

The lunchtime service was super fast for Seafood Vegetable soup and egg rolls. So, for workers on a tight schedule, I would give it five stars. The soup was very good and it was a huge portion. I took half of it home and it was even better the next day. I know they do a lot of take-out business and apparently that is at the expense of consideration for the dining room atmosphere. There was no blaring music as in some Chinese buffets... just the opposite. What happened to traditional Chinese music played at a nice, low volume? How hard could that be to hook up? read more

Don't let the outside fool you. I have driven past this place 100 times not thinking twice about going in. Yes, it is in a hole in a wall. Tonight I had a stomach ache and needed a quick soup fix. I called the closest Chinese restaurant for take out. Walked in and was pleasantly surprised. The inside was nice I was greeted by a friendly staff. I ordered the wonton soup and the wontons were huge!!! The soup was pretty tasty (I am pretty picky about my chinese food). Needless to say I'll be ordering again. read more

Don't ever order food from them. They are crooks. The food is good. HOwever I ordered from them and placed the wrong order. I immediately called the restaurant and told them about the wrong order. SInce I paid through Paypal, I would have to get my refund from them. Paypal had sufficient evidence from 168 Szechuan, so they declined my dispute. I never received my order and paid for it. BEWARE OF THIS MERCHANT. I plan on filing a complaint with the BBB. read more

Great place to order takeout Chinese. Worth the prices. We ordered Vegetable Tofu, Broccoli Beef and Honey Chicken. Everything came out great.
