    Qt. Hot & Sour Soup $4.50 (12/25/21). #KingSzechuanPalace #JerseyCity #ChineseFood #FoodPorn
    Jeff B.

    (Took Out 12/25/21 SA @ 6:45pm): This palace was the szechuan food king on this Christmas evening! On Day 6 of my vacation as I visited a very dear friend for the Christmas and New Year holidays, it was Christmas Day, our initial dinner plan was postponed, and it was definitely slim pickings with so many businesses closed except for King Szechuan Palace. Having earlier watched "A Christmas Story", it felt appropriate to have Chinese takeout food - "fra ra ra ra ra... ra ra ra raaa"! I've made a concerted effort to try various types of food while on this vacation. How was this non-traditional Christmas meal as we celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ!? PURCHASE Qt. General Tso's Chicken ($13.00): This reminded me more of orange chicken, a large portion of lightly spicy tender chicken bits on a small bed of broccoli florets that was a welcoming start to our meal https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=POorKcMJLo8q03S6302klA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Broccoli In Garlic Sauce ($11.95): I loved broccoli, so these bushels of crowns bathed in sweet and tangy garlic sauce was a treat especially over some rice https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=VDwOgdLyiPVck1eRALKSlQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Sautéed String Beans ($11.95): Another large portion, I wanted more vegetables since I lacked any while on this vacation. These were fresh with a light crisp rather than a limp even with all the sauce while the chili flakes gave it some nice heat https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Kuhz7SYl-wyv6OCgPMATbQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Qt. Pork Lo Mein ($9.00): With oodles of noodles and a lot of pork pieces, it seemed there were more flecks than bite-size bits. There were minimal vegetables, but thankfully the noodles separated easily although not very oily https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=OASXiO7jczl9jSZ3xbULKA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Qt. Hot & Sour Soup ($4.50): The price was incredible! This was filled with a ton of bamboo shoots, egg, mushrooms, and tofu slices, while the broth was the perfect combination of hot, savory, and sour that helped warm my body in the evening's very cold temperature - an absolutely wonderful soup https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=XoLZ3WpG3vJfNR05BorN8g&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! Steamed White Rice (COMP w/Entrée): Provided with each entrée (three total), it was always cool when they included rice without being charged. Standard rice with nothing truly special but paired well with the chicken and vegetables https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=qJVR6CeSnzl0lOwSRzyWng&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. SERVICE I initially called several times with no answers, so we took a chance and walked to the restaurants with hopes they were open. Thankfully, they were but were slammed by various delivery orders and behind schedule based on a limited staff (I saw a total of three workers). Regardless, a stressed but cool woman took my in-person order, I paid, and decided to explore the neighborhood just to get out of their hair. We returned thirty minutes later to less of a crowd and our food all packed and ready to go. With a "happy holidays" to them, we were off to enjoy our Christmas meal. Under pressure, they did a great job for us! PARKING (FREE; N/A in this instance) We walked, so parking wasn't an issue. Otherwise, there appeared to be plenty of spots along the main drag of Reservoir Ave. and all surrounding streets - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A no-frills small restaurant with a short waiting area, a couple chairs/tables, and a thick protective plastic that separated the order/pick-up counter and the open kitchen because of COVID-19. There were printed menus on the counter https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=A_-pX3-KVyFSNeg7RcTKdQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw with some random food pictures without prices on the wall above the counter. Plenty of natural lighting came through the large front windows and door while soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs or background music. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=rYI7tk4CPDtLQ1jLi2kqkw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Temperatures were in the 30s, so I was bundled-up from head-to-toe. Otherwise, this place was totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I was extremely grateful that King Szechuan Palace was open this Christmas night. The food was tasty (minor modifications), huge portions, comparable prices, vast menu selection, and very good service all-things considered. And, it was always a pleasure to support small local mom & pop businesses like this one. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $56.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

    Handmade dumplings!!!!
    Danielle G.

    Still my favorite take-out Chinese in JC. They hand make their wonton dumplings and they are so good. If you pick up sometimes can see the lady making them. Also their vegetarian dishes are delicious. Take out / delivery only so their prices are good and service is excellent.

    Chong Qing Spicy Chicken
    Nishtha C.

    This is our absolute favorite szechuan chinese takeout place in the area. We order from here at least 2 times a month and our favorite go-to dish is Chongquing Chicken. It is this spicy chicken dish that is cooked with sichuan chicken pepper which have a tingling effect on the tongue. If you like spicy food, this is a must try. We also like their dumplings and scalion pancakes. The cashew chicken is another go-to dish. They typically deliver within 30-45 min and sometimes it's even less than that. The staff is also funny and nice. Once they had messed up our order and we called them, first they denied messing it up and then they told us we can get that same dish for free "next time". They didn't take our name down or anything. We never took them up on the offer but it was nice of them to say that we could do that (although we are not even sure if they would actually have given us the free dish next time).

    Great food. Szechuan chicken is the vest. Garlic eggplant is worth to die fir as well

    Soup Dumplings and Gui Zhou Spicy Chicken. Soup dumplings came in a much smaller container and were clumped together
    Nupur B.

    Ordered dumplings and Gui zhou spicy chicken from here. I was not happy with my meal Dumplings were doughy with little flavor and not enough soup Gui Zhou spicy chicken is mentioned under their house Szechuan menu and I was disappointed that these were not at all spicy and too sweet :(

    Bean Curd Fish Filet, Black Mushroom with Baby Bok Choy, Beef and Trip in Chili Oil - fantastic
    Charlie S.

    Back when my friends lived in the area, we used to order from this place all the time. It's been a couple years since they moved from there, but when the craving hit and nothing nearby would satisfy me, I decided to take a 30 minute drive to see if King Szechuan was like how I remembered it to be, and I'm happy to say they're still great! For takeout Chinese, the Szechuan flavors here are no joke. Tongue numbing spiciness. I wouldn't get their Americanized Chinese food because you don't order from here for that. You get the authentic dishes and they are surprisingly authentic. My go to dishes are fish fillet with bean curd. I haven't been able to find a place that satisfies my cravings like this place does unless I go into the city. Honey chicken is also very good. Chicken and eggplant is also great. This time I got baby bok choy with black mushroom, fish fillet bean curd, and beef in tripe in chili oil. Everything was exactly how I remembered it to be. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for strong Szechuan flavors. Honestly a deal for the quality they provide at the prices. Will be back if I'm ever in the area and craving Szechuan! Don't get Americanized food here! They're Szechuan is the real deal!

    We've lived up the block from this place for 3 years and finally sat down to dine in. It was empty…read moreand the girl serving us was the only one there and didn't really provide us with customer service. We had to wait 15 minutes just for our sodas. The dishes are very unique in cultural sourcing - it's not what you expect of a regular Chinese restaurant. The servings are HUGE and good for 2 servings. The ambiance is not that great even though there's a big space and there was a lot of junk sitting around the place like extra stock of drinks and boxes all over the place. I don't think people really eat-in here. When I did takeout, it was still not worth the price of other similar restaurants in the area. Also this place doesn't have combinations sold together -- you have to buy rice on the side for EVERY dish which is not a traditional way to serve each dish in general. The prices here are not worth trying it - way overpriced and overcharged! Should be more affordable since we do not get the rice with the combination plates.

    I got the lunch special. The fried fish was spicy and crispy. The portion was good as well…read more Service was a bit slow, I got there at the estimated time but had to wait another 15 min at the restaurant. Staff was good, they can speak in English and Mandarin. The inside was very quiet. I was surprised no one was dining inside considering the quality of the food was decent.
