Ordered food and it was supposed to be ready by the time the delivery driver arrived and he had to wait so long that he cancelled he order and another driver showed up and also had to cancel because they took so long. Not worth ordering form here Update: the food was incredible but it did take a very long time so just be prepared to wait read more

The food was amazing! The server handled the issues with an unhoused person very well! A great late night experience.

So overdue for a review of Mr Szechuan - one of my very favorite restaurants in the Sunset and on Taraval. It is consistent, reasonably priced, fast, polite service and the dry pot is absolutely delicious. It's so good I bring out of town friends here and also have also visited solo (which is rare for me especially because their dry pot portions can feed 3 people). Love love love. And open late - unheard of in the Sunset. Long live Mr Szechuan! read more

Ordered for takeout; they are conveniently open very late. Favorite dish was ironically the free house fried rice (has a variety of meat). Pea shoots were too oily but flavor was not bad. Both chicken wing dishes were too sweet, and the beef and broccoli dish had numbing spice which was unexpected. Portions are quite large! read more

Ordered a takeout from this place based off all the good reviews, but I unfortunately have to leave a 3 star review. I ordered the bento box and only took a few bites from it before throwing it away. Idk where, but I smelled a strong oil odor either from the bad or the box. The dishes tasted below average imo, and the flavors are all mixed up since they weren't separated in the bento box. I personally would not order again, but it is a solid option for some late night Chinese cravings. read more

We came with a big group of 15, we were seated right away. We did have three tabs open but they made it really easy to order and pay because each table has its own QR code. You pay when you order. This made it so easy for us. We all had different dishes and they were all pretty good. Service was great as well read more

I was hungry one night when I needed something that was still open after a late night at work. After seeing that Mr Szechuans was open , I decided to give it a try. The plan was to my wife back a plate so we could share one together. I ordered the beef chow mein. I was hungry so I I tried it when I got back to my car. It was so good the plan had changed. I now was going to eat my portion and bring hers. But then the stop light came. And I had to eat more. And in the 10 stops it took to get home, the plan had changed again. If she was hungry I would cook because there was nothing left to share 10/10 That beef chow mein is so good that I haven't even tried anything else. That's my go to dish every I'm hungry and don't want to cook! ( And my wife's too) Alvin is a very pleasant host and always accommodating Highly recommend! read more

I came here with some tennis friends after our tennis practice got rained out. We circled the block a few times looking for parking and finally got lucky! They have a pretty good takeout business--people kept coming in to pickup to-go orders. I also liked their holiday decorations. 3 of us shared Dry Pot and Eggplant String Beans and Shredded Pigs Ears. Everything was delicious, spicy, and had complex sauces and flavors. We also liked our bubble milk tea drinks! Service was fast. Portions were good. Prices were reasonable. I'm not in the area very often, but would come back if I was. read more

Stopped by after a Warriors game. Two of us had: soup dumplings(8pcs) $10.95 2 jasmine green tea $4.25 ea $8.50 total eggplant string beans $15.95 braised beef noodle soup $16.95 Tap water was so bad we had to get tea. Staff, for the most part, was friendly to us, but did see them yelling at a food pick up order earlier when we walked in lol. Eggplant was on the tougher side. Soup dumplings were not good at all...and one of them seemed bitten.. I assume the location does well with later closing hours. Definitely could've been better. Street parking only. read more

Everything was super tasty. Even though I just came back from China 2 weeks ago, I could not tell the difference between the great food here and what I had in China, which speaks to the authenticity of this place. read more

This is a long overdue review for Mr Szechuan. OMG we love love love this place. This has quickly became one of our top 3 go-to place for delivery. Food are reasonably priced, always well packaged, delivered hot and oh so so yummy. #1 dish for us is their Spicy Chicken 辣子鸡 we now getting 2 portion each time so husband and I won't have to fight for it. Their Minced Pork Rice 肉燥饭 is my favorite too, kinda wish they have a bigger portion or a side of the Minced Pork to order but sadly no. Sometimes I get their Super Bento just to try out more of their menu items since our go-to always include Spicy Chicken and Minced Pork Rice, making a little hard to try out another full dish. Desserts are great too - Sesame Balls and Fried Banana are my go-to. One of these day will definitely try to come in person. read more

Did more than one DoorDash order from here and both times did the BOGO offer for the Mapo tofu. It was quite a disappointment. There was a lot of rice, very muted spice level/flavor. The second time around the food got bad the next day so we had to throw it out. read more

Food: The food itself has very good flavor, however, it was not consistent. The house chowmein and Mongolian beef were extremely salty. The dry pot was on the blander side. My favorite was the salt and pepper king oyster mushrooms, but the batter was a bit too thick. We did come later at night around 11 pm and it looked short staff, so I would try coming again in the day to see if that would make a difference. Service: There was only one person working in the front. When we came, there was a lot of unbussed tables. For ordering, we order through a QR code, and then pay at the end. The only time the server would come by is when he brings by food or if we ask for more water. The service wasn't bad but it just wasn't attentive as there is only one person working in front. Ambience: This is a medium sized restaurant, with lots of table. It seems that the main customer base is students, probably from SF State. They open very late until 1 am. Because I came later at night, there was a lot of street parking open around. read more

Authentic Szechuan food that is spicy! There is no parking lot here, so you'll need to park in the neighborhood. We ordered the following: - fried green beans - large portion and a nice offset vs the meat and spicy food we ordered - minced pork over rice bowl - an individual-sized rice bowl, but was nice and comforting vs all the meat dishes - beef chow fun - great wok taste! - chili fried chicken- spicy but too many chili peppers. Half the plate was red chilis. I wouldn't order this again - dry pot. I liked the concept where you can add the meats and vegetables you wanted, but there was barely any flavor and not worth the cost - salt and pepper fish fillet - was ok. I'd try something else on the menu next time Overall, enjoyed the food and the restaurant is a good size. They do a lot of take-out too! read more

Food: the vegetables are bitter. Do not eat that sesame chicken broccoli, it's likely been sitting there for weeks.

This is very unfortunate for a restaurant that I thought would meet my standards based on the last time I visited. My dine in experience a few months ago was pleasant. However my uber eats order tonight was probably one of the worst meals I'd ever experience in my entire life. First of all it was a busy Friday night, so I get it. However I had to wait over 40 minutes for 4 orders of wontons. The wontons were awful and an absolute disgrace. Whoever was in the kitchen did a terrible job. They literally took like 5 wrappers and filled it with meat that was the size of peanut. Without a doubt, one of thee worst food experiences of all time. Literally the whole was 80% wonton wraps read more

Ordered delivery for this, but it was still as good as in person. The beef, pork, and fish were my choice of proteins. I wish the pieces were larger, but still tasted good. It has a good spicyness to it without being too spicy. read more

I tried three of the dishes, and my favorite was the Mapo tofu and Mongolia chicken. The chicken wasn't too spicy but it was just enough spicy for me. The vibe of the restaurant was really nice too, they were playing 2000s hits in the background. Service was nice too, and you just order through the QR code. read more

Exceeded expectations for late night snacks at 19th and Taraval. Open till 1 AM on a Saturday night so we stopped in (after seeing a musical at the Orpheum theater) on the way home. Enjoyed the broth on the beef noodle soup and the green onion pancakes the most of the items we ordered, but everything else was pretty solid. read more

Mr. Szechuan is so good! A huge variety of options and fan favorites. I know it should be obvious, but warning to others there is a good amount of Szechuan spice used in these dishes. So if you don't like that tingly numbing feeling then choose cautiously, like the chili oil dumplings. Our favorites were the spicy fish filets, general tsao chicken, and the soy scallion noodles! The portions are generous and we ordered way too much food for 3 people but had lots of leftovers to enjoy. There was only one server there and she was managing a lot with 3 dine in tables and lots of take out orders. She did a pretty good job but I could see on some nights how the service might be a little slow. They do serve complimentary hot tea which was very nice! Would definitely come again and try more delicious dishes. read more

I drove up here to enjoy some szechuan food since the reviews looked good but left immediately because it smelled so bad inside. It literally smelled like a wet dog and my family and I couldn't stand it. Everything felt filthy with flies all over the place. The hot tea pot that came out was covered in grease. I can't imagine how little they actually clean things here. The smell was such a turn off we left without even saying anything. Goodness gracious. read more

I've been curious about this place for a while, having walked past it many times. I needed to find a late night spot for dinner and the menu had a good number of options. We ordered two Beef Skewers, Laksa Noodle Soup, and Black Bean Noodles. The skewers had a decent seasoning that's not spicy, just mostly salty. However, the meat quality was terrible. The pieces were small, dry, and had a texture almost like tough beef jerky. I had high hopes for the Laksa Noodle Soup, but unfortunately, it was incredibly bland. The only flavor that came through was a faint hint of coconut. There wasn't even a salt shaker on the table to try to make it more appetizing. As for the Black Bean Noodles, once mixed, it was clear that the noodles weren't even properly coated in the sauce. They gave so little of it and the sauce itself was bland too. I'm honestly not sure how this place has 4 stars.. read more

Everything that we ordered at Mr. Szechuan was delicious. Definitely a good spot for small group outings. And in the off-chance that you're hungry for a late lunch or early dinner when most restaurants open (or re-open) at 5pm, Mr. Szechuan opens at 4pm on weekdays! price: ~$30/person recs: dry pot, green onion pancake, brown sugar boba - Dry Pot: Huge, cooked to perfection, and perfectly mala. Highly recommend getting the lamb, which was super tender! - Tan Tan Noodles: Generous portion, would have liked a little bit more ground meat, but otherwise really solid - Salt and Pepper Chicken Cartilage: Haven't seen this at other restaurants! Super crispy and piping hot. The breading that Mr. Szechuan uses is noticeable sweet and starchy. - Green Onion Pancake: This is the first time that I've had a green onion pancake that tasted almost deep-fried, but it was super good and not oily! - Brown Sugar Boba: Pearls were bouncy and the drink was not too sweet. Cuts the spiciness of the szechuan food really well. Would definitely come back! read more

the most underrated place i swear as a fellow Burmese-Malaysian we LOVE having Dry Pot/Hot Pot as out comfort food. The place is never overly crowded and music is fun 2000s, with friendly chill service as well. I've eaten here more than 10 times and i love that they would give you your space and orders are fast. My go to order has always been Dry Pot/Super Dry Pot, the taste varies and it's not always the same with not a big difference but surprisingly what i look forward to lol. Definitely a great late night spot!!! read more

Way overdue. I remember the first time I came here vividly. A few years back, I recall thinking to myself, "Wow, this place is good... didn't know my neighborhood had a good Sichuan spot." During that visit I recall so many good things about it like the mala pigs ears, spicy chicken gristle, spicy n pickled fish broth, and few others I still frequently enjoy. However, there was the beef noodle soup that didn't strike a chord with us. The soup was somehow overly sweet. Balance was absolutely off and more like a dessert soup at that point. Unlike most Chinese restaurants, I was taken by surprise. I brought it up to one of the staff members (most likely owner) and without a question, they said we can bring you another one or we can just take it off for you. They handle it quickly and kindly. Blew my mind only because you don't expect that from a Chinese operated restaurant. Few years later, an order tonight which I thought I'd get dark meat for the spicy chicken but it came with white meat. (If you're Chinese, you'll know we'd never make that with white meat.) I called in just to check if it's was the norm there since I've never ordered it there even I frequent there. I just wanted to make sure that if it was indeed their norm that I wouldn't order it next time. Instead, they confirmed it was suppose to be dark meat. Immediately, they said they'll refund me on my to-go order. I declined the refund since it was perfectly made and nothing wrong other than not exactly what I expected. They insisted and still refunded me. In Chinese, he said, "We're running a business here. If it was a mistake, it has to be refunded. We want you to be a long time customer." Since day one until now, stellar business operating culture. Well deserved success to the business and others get to enjoy their dishes and service. Neighborhood gem. read more

My new favorite dry pot place!! I've been searching forever for a good mala dry pot place and randomly stumbled upon here and it was great. The flavors and spice level were good and portion size for the price was also reasonable, plus it comes with rice or a noodle as well. My only suggestion or wish is that they had the option to add more veggies, they limit you to 2 meat, 4 veggies but we would have easily wanted to add a lot of veggies to share a bigger dry pot for 2. Reason the photo is of a takeout box is because we accidentally ordered it as takeout even though we were dining in, and the staff were really nice and apologetic and even gave us a free side of scallion pancakes! read more

Coming back from Graton late and we wanted Chinese food. This place did not disappoint. We ordered the beef chow fun, sweet and sour spareribs and onion pancake. Everything was pretty great. Will definitely make it our late night go to spot. Great job Mr Szechuan! read more

We had the "Szechuan beef" spicy but very delicious! We also had the Beef Noodles, Spicy Dry Pot, & Beef Panckages & all 3 were also very delicious! Customer service was also really great! Definitely a place you should check out! read more

This was for **delivery only**_ The spice level was spot on and the Mapo Tofu was savory though light on pork. The other two entrees, the Steamed Chicken in Chili Sauce ($13.95) and Szechuan Beef ($18.95) were very salty and the beef tasted like it was sliced from end pieces; it could've been more tender. Everything was packaged with care and Saran wrapped around the containers so sauce wouldn't spill. It was good, could be better. read more

Great Szechuan spot! I get the dry hot pot every time i go and it's so good. The other food is good too but the value for the dry hot pot is amazing since you can pick the veggies and meat to add in! It used to come with a drink but i don't think they do it anymore but still sooo good. The service is amazing too read more

Stopped by Mr. Szechuan and ordered the dry pot -- loaded with beef, cabbage, lotus root, rice cakes, and a mix of veggies all tossed in that classic numbing-spicy sauce. The flavors were bold, though leaning on the salty side for me. That said, the value is fantastic -- you get a huge portion, easily sharable with friends, and plenty of variety in the mix. The beef was tender, the rice cakes gave it a nice chewy texture, and the cabbage soaked up all that chili oil and spice. Overall, it's a solid spot if you're craving hearty, spicy Szechuan comfort food. Just bring an appetite (or a friend). 4/5 read more

Another sick day order... this time using Grubhub. So the food comes and looks like a royal mess. Order was two bento boxes. Sesame chicken, sweet & sour chicken, One with eggplant & one with broccoli beef. Looked horrible, but tasted good. Good flavor overall. The vegetables were better than the chicken. read more

my friends and I came here at like 10:15ish and they were still happy to take us. i wish i got the guy's name, but he was so funny and nice to us. He definitely made this place go from a 4 to a 5 for me. The highlight dish was the Mongolian beef because it was sweet, a tad spicy but overall pretty tasty. I really enjoyed the watermelon juice too i wish i took a picture of that one. I would love to go back and hopefully try more of their food. read more

We ordered several dishes from Mr Szechuan for takeout. The brown rice was fine. The soup dumplings and pork buns were dry. The Mongolian chicken was almost inedible and the fish *was* inedible and incredibly salty. This is the second time we have tried this restaurant. The first time was just "OK". This time just plain lousy. The food was ready in minutes so maybe it had been sitting around? Never again! read more

Food is shite. Meat old and grizzly. Won't come back. Had to throw my order away- couldn't finish the plate.

I ordered the mangolian Lamb and it was absolutely delicious. Not sure what my nephew ordered but it was a dry noodle dish and it was very good. The mangolian lamb had a good balance of flavor with spice. I want to eat here again. read more

The dry pot was amazing, big portions where you can choose 4 veggie and 3 meats. The best part was also the chili wontons, had a deep peanut flavour that worked well to cut the spice. Fast service and plenty of tables inside and good for big groups, can't wait to try their non spicy dry pot next time! read more

I think I ordered the wrong thing at this place cause it's not what they're known for but I was craving something hot juicy and bite sized so I got soup dumpling and sheng jian bao. There was not a single drop of soup in either of the dumplings unfortunately. Im guessing all of the xiao long bao dumpling skin had gotten punctured somehow and all the soup had drained out (assuming there was soup to begin with). A very dry meal indeed and they didn't have ginger for the dipping sauce either. I did eat it all ... but suddenly trader joe's frozen soup dumplings seem so gourmet read more
