There's been a few times I was going to order here, but then backed out. I think when it comes to Chinese food, we tend to get attached to a favorite place, even if you know in your heart that the food doesn't quite hit like it once did. I'm glad I finally decided to pull the trigger. In the past, I would have put Tsingtao house in a category of more upscale, pricier, Chinese restaurant...but these days, even the hole in the walls are pricey! Truthfully, for what I ordered at Tsingtao, I thought the prices were a tremendous value, given the quality of the food is top tier! My recommendation is anything with garlic sauce! So freaking good!

Big portions that are reasonably priced and several tables for large groups. It's in a former Chinese grocery and the decor wasn't much of an upgrade. The spice level is milder than most Szechuan restaurants (it probably doesn't help that my Mandarin isn't very good). I had the boiled fish which was very good and the fried beef with cumin which was surprisingly sweet.

The ordering experience was one of the most bizarre and frustrating I've had in recent years. But the food itself was delicious. Since we were driving with young wailing kids in the backseat, we called the restaurant 20 minutes out to place our order. The lady who picked up the phone told me in Chinese that the restaurant was very busy, so I should place the order when I was 10 minutes away, or better yet, when I was at the restaurant. I tried to explain that the whole point of placing the order by phone was to avoid waiting, but she had put a male Chinese-speaking colleague on the phone, who told me to just order at the restaurant because he was too busy to take phone orders. With that, he promptly hung up on me. Ten minutes out, I called again and tried to order eggplant in garlic sauce and fish in chili oil. The same man I had spoken to before had tried to get me to just place the order when I arrived at the restaurant, but I again told him that we were trying to avoid waiting for our food since we had young children (now screaming) in the car. He reluctantly took my order (I was told that my third request--vermicelli with spiced minced pork--was not available). Frustratingly, when we arrived at the restaurant, they had not even started cooking our food, so we had to wait about 15 minutes. The food itself was superb. The eggplant is some of the best I've had. The fish in chili oil was also wonderfully tender, though there was a slightly higher ratio of Napa cabbage to fish than what I've usually experienced for this dish at other restaurants. The interior of the restaurant was modest and cafeteria-like. I can't comment on the service quality for dining in. If it weren't for the rough phone ordering experience, I would be keen on ordering takeout or dining in there again.

I was visiting Syracuse for work and I typically seek out authentic Szechuan places when visiting…read morenew cities, so when scoping out my options here I found a few places that seemed to be legit. I did find a person who visited this one and another one, Jianghu Café and so I asked her if I could only visit one, which do I do, and she said Jianhghu was the winner winner Szechuan lunch. I did go there and it was great! But I found myself having one additional dinner time without plans, so I came here as well. Walking in, I noticed what appeared to be a common Asian Massage Parlor next door, yo uget to it via the entry way that bring you here as well. Kinda odd, but it didn't bother me. Walking into this restaurant, it's very nicely laid out and beautifully décor'd! The servers and staff spoke great English and were very helpful, especially when answering questions about their menu. I started with their Garlic Cucumbers, but I asked for them to be spicy and Wow, they did a GREAT job with them! They weren't very hot, but so much spiciness and flavor - I loved them! Next up was to get their cumin chicken. They do cumin style in all their proteins, which makes for some great options. I chose their basic fried rice to come with this. The fried rice and cumin chicken were both amazing... Perfectly spiced and loaded with flavor. There were several Szechuan peppercorns in the dish, which added to the aroma and flavor of the dish. Overall - I really like this dinner! While I do feel Jianghu is slightly better, this is amazing as well!

I wish the menu provided more details about what was included in each dish. When I tried the Kung Pao Chicken, I bit into something twice that caused a strong burning sensation in my mouth. I'm still not sure what it was, because it looked like chicken at first. I also ordered the Orange Chicken and the General Tso's Chicken (extra spicy), but neither dish was spicy at all, or fresh tasting. All chicken dishes were drowned in bland sauce. Since it was our first time and we weren't sure how the food would be, we decided to order from the lunch menu. In hindsight, we all regretted that choice and felt we should have tried something else instead.

I ordered over the phone and got there about 15 minutes later. When I got to the place, the food was ready about a minute or two after I finished paying. Treat this place as a takeout restaurant. If you plan on eating at this location don't be surprised that it is not anything special. The food was delicious. My garlic sauce dish was properly spicy. My wife's chicken was crunchy. Both foods were sauced well. The only slight negative (but not really) was that the egg roll was just okay. For the amount of food and the quality, the price was just right. We will be ordering from here again.

The food was improperly packaged so half of one container was dumped over all of the other containers with sauce leaking through the bag. The shumai were bad - they smelled straight-up wrong and they looked 100% like they were microwaved from a freezer bag. The rest of the food was so flavorless I actually went and did a Covid test just to make sure what was happening was real. The only thing that was fine was the rice, though white rice is kind of hard to mess up. Chicken & broccoli had no flavor, the general tso's tofu had no flavor, and the Mongolian beef tasted like they cooked the parts of the beef that were the most rubber-like without any seasoning. Overall, will never order from here again. Regret leaving a tip online when I ordered.
