Szechuan Brothers was a great find! I ordered the fried fish and the beef fried rice and both were excellent. The fish was fried to perfection--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and had just the right amount of spice without being overwhelming. The beef fried rice was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Service was quick and easy, making it a great spot if you want something delicious without a long wait. I'll definitely be back! read more

I couldn't find a decent Szechuan spot in Vancouver before, and I was tired of going into Portland whenever I had a craving... I'm so glad I found this neat spot! A lot of restaurants claim that they serve Szechuan food, but it's just regular Chinese food... This spot has both, and the Szechuan part is pretty good! We accidentally ordered 2 fried dishes by mistake, but they were both pretty delicious! We got the dried fish filet and spicy chicken/popcorn chicken. The fish was so crispy and savory... I didn't try the regular menu, but I will definitely come back to try more of their Szechuan menu soon (there were two separate menus when we came in). The staff was friendly, and the setting was chill! The free tea is always a plus :) If you love mala/szechuan flavours, try it out! read more

We were a walk in at 6:55 pm, so we were expecting things to possibly be busier during the dinner rush. We entered, immediately wrote our name down, and wasn't seated until 730. There wasn't a staff at the door, I think I would have appreciated someone coming to the front to check in with us about wait time estimations, but they only came to the front to tell us to put our name down after 20 minutes of us kinda waiting by the front. They took our order quickly, certain items they mentioned they were too busy to make, which was fine and understandable. So they'd recommend another dish in its place. The reason I mainly knocked a star is once we ordered, the appetizer came out quickly but no one ever really checked in on how we were doing, we didn't get a water refill or at least were unable to flag anyone down to do the quick bringing out of plates to other tables waiting and zooming back to the kitchen. We eventually got one of our entrees the honey walnut shrimp 15 min later, but no bowls of rice. We had to wait until our second entree came out 10 minutes later to get to enjoy our meal with the rice. I would've preferred if the rice was brought out earlier or at the same time, and trying to flag someone down for the rice was difficult. Eventually by 830 pm we got our last dish, the vegetables. Which would have been ideally eaten alongside our proteins. Wait times were very long, which would be overall fine if someone had communicated or checked back in. Food overall was fine. Honey walnut shrimp was more caramelized here, I think other spots tend to be more on the creamier side. Fish fillets were more breading than fish. Vegetables were fine overall, probably not the stunner last entree dish to finish off the night but overall fine. The appetizer beef tendon were good, it definitely has that numbing sensation with the peppercorns you find. Overall, for a Sunday night for dinner it was bustling, a lot of folks were waiting for items and I overheard other tables asking for things to just be cancelled due to the length of time it took. There's lots of tables and booths, it got fairly loud but nothing out of the ordinary of both restaurants. read more

I was super disappointed. We were excited to go because my son said he'd been there before and it was good. He did warn me that we would definitely be waiting because service is not very quick. They did greet us quickly, and we got our drinks very fast however it took quite a while for them to take our order. It took the normal amount of time for everyone to get their food except for me. I kept trying to get someone's attention, but they were in such a rush. They were not looking at other tables or checking on anyone. I eventually had to walk literally over to the kitchen to get someone's attention. When they finally brought my food over, they only brought part of what I was missing. I had to ask again for the rest of the food to be brought to the table. Everyone else was almost done by the time I started eating. There was no apology or anything else other than, "we're busy." The food was just OK, but it's not good enough for me to probably give them a second chance. read more

Szechuan Brothers was in my book mark for three years. Finally my brother in lord invited me for the wonderful dinner. The place seems like don't need reservations for big table like us with group of 7. I like our first dish as chong qin spicy chicken. This is good spicy dish with fried chicken strip. The spice is amazing at that fish. The five elements spicy soup another good dish. I like it because it has pig blood as tradition items. The domeo stir fry vegetables also good to go with the meal. Overall is a good restaurant. Service also good. read more

Overall decent...but I will be back to try other dishes...the ones we chose were average at best. Hot & Sour soup - good value as a Large is $9? Kung Pao Chicken - pass...hardly any flavor Broccoli Beef - just OK. Broccoli was barely cooked Pork Chow Main - got this as they were out of MuuShu... overall decent, but it was almost like they forgot (same with the table next to us) as it came out over 20 minutes after we got the other food. Service was fine. Don't get the cocktails read more

We were only in Vancouver for a few days during our August anniversary trip, and I was craving Chinese food one evening. Szechuan Brothers piqued my interest while researching (authentic) Chinese restaurants in the area. Located in a large strip mall, the restaurant was cozy with plenty of tables for groups and couples alike. We were hungry but not starving, as we had eaten at Park the Carts several hours earlier, but still wanted a good dinner. All of the food looked so good around us, especially their Szechuan hot pot. However, we decided to go with simpler fare so as not to have leftovers. I went with the braised beef noodle soup while my husband went with the combination fried rice. The servers were attentive and friendly, and took our order quickly as well. We didn't have to wait very long for our food to arrive to our table. The braised beef noodle soup was the perfect portion, with a ton of veggies and huge chunks of tender beef. The noodles were chewy and bouncy, and the broth had a good depth of flavor. Braised beef noodle soup, when done well, is so comforting. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, which is one of the best parts about this soup when executed correctly. My husband's combination fried rice was also delicious. I had a few bites and it had such a wonderful wok hay to it. The combo comes with chicken, beef, and shrimp, and there was plenty of meat in the dish. I only wish we could have returned to Szechuan Brothers for a second time during our trip, but that just means we need to go again the next time we visit the PNW! I'd definitely recommend going to Szechuan Brothers if you are craving some delicious authentic Chinese food while in Vancouver! read more

I was surprised to find an authentic Szechuan restaurant out in Vancouver, but Szechuan brothers was a fantastic surprise. The chongqing chicken was very mild, but still an enjoyable dish. We got the personal hotpot which was a soup based hotpot that we added beef too. The soup had a great spicy kick to it. We also got a lamb dry hot pot which had great flavor and even included cauliflower. Finally we got the combo chow fun and yang chow fried rice. Those were well done and enjoyed by the non spicy lovers in the group. Service was better than expected for this restaurant and would recommend stopping in. read more

Authentic Szechuan cuisine. Recently found this restaurant while staying in Vancouver, WA. Surprisingly it was so great cooking, somehow much better than crossing river to find one in Portland, Oregon. The service was also the best -- the owner sincerely and carefully cooked congee (rice soup) as requested even though it was not on the menu. read more

I love it here, food is good. My family is Chinese, and my grandparents know almost everyone of the owners of Chinese restaurants here, except this one.

The food is always delicious and hot. Service is super good, even when they are extremely busy and running in every direction. We had be been going to SB for past 7+ years and cannot say enough good things about SB. I went with a 10 person group of Boomers and we ate family style. My wife and I were not able to eat all that we normally do, since we had to share. NEXT night, my wife, adult kids and I went back and ate all we wanted this time. . Great place. Thanks read more

Following recommendations from local people, I decided to give this place a try. Great place!! The place was clean and spacious. The service was outstanding and they were very helpful.

Really excited to try this place and ditched my go to just down the street to try it. Wish I would have just gone to my fav place instead. Food lacked flavor for the Mein and the rolls. M said her tofu was good buy greasy. That's what the problem was with the mein, very oily. Spring rolls had a strange flavor but that might be the cooking oil needs changed or ?? Anyway, left overs were just as oily and discarded soon after reheating. Not in a hurry to go back. I might to try another regular dish I order to check them out again bu no Mein and no spring rolls next time. read more

Numb-Spicy Heaven Just Across the River -- A True Gem Don't be surprised. Yes, I crossed the river from Portland into Southern Washington with a colleague, and it was absolutely worth it. Szechuan Brothers served one of the most authentic and delicious Szechuan meals I've had in the region. I love numb-spicy (麻辣, má là) food, and this place didn't hold back: 1. Boiled fish in chili oil - Silky fish in a fiery, aromatic broth packed with dried chilis and peppercorns. Intense, balanced, and unforgettable. 2. Lamb skewers - Smoky, tender, and bursting with cumin spice. One of the best versions I've had outside of China. 3. Spicy beef noodle soup - Rich, comforting broth, perfectly chewy noodles, and flavorful beef. 4. Sliced beef & tripe in chili oil - Cold and spicy with amazing texture. Classic and refreshing. 5. Steamed rice - Soft, fluffy, and the perfect neutralizer to balance all that heat. Beyond the food, the service was genuinely good. The vibe inside was inviting, clean, and warm and our waitress was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you're anywhere near Portland or Vancouver, cross the bridge and eat here. This place is the real deal, and I'd come back in a heartbeat. read more

New Review for SZECHUAN BROTHERS 2025 ~ This is my "go to" restaurant in Vancouver for delicious Chinese food! The food ALWAYS comes out hot and cooked to perfection. The staff is friendly, fast and very helpful in answering any questions about the menu. speaking of the menu, I don't always know what something is and their menu has photos of every item! This has helped me branch out and try new things. My absolute favorite dish in the menu is the DRY COOK green bean chicken (be sure to ask for the dry cook!) - it's a tad spicy so be careful not to eat the red chili pepper if you don't like too much heat! Their hot and sour soup is the best. Portions are large enough for family style/sharing, so order a few different entrees so that everyone in your party can try multiple dishes. The restaurant is clean, nicely decorated and there's rarely a wait to be seated. Takeout seems to be pretty popular here too! Give them a try if you've never been here ~ you'll have a new favorite! read more

We decided to order something online to go, but nearly all of the individual dishes are now $18-$20, and up to $24; once we include the tax and handling fees, one order of beef with cilantro was going to be $28.31.

A friend and I came here for dinner on a Thursday evening. We were quickly seated and offered a menu. After looking through the menu, we went ahead and ordered my favorite dishes from here. I have been coming here often and would typically order these two dishes. But after covid, I would order to-go or have the dishes delivered home. However, we had the opportunity to dine inside the restaurant this time. We ordered the Beef dry hot pot - mild and the fish fillet in chili oil - mild. Both dishes came out exceptionally fast! We were amazed with the speed. Best of all, both of the dishes were amazing. We will definitely come back for when we crave these two dishes. read more

Going back for a second taste here was high in priority for both my wife and me. Today we made it for lunch and we're both glad that we did. Unlike a lot of lunch specials, this one didn't have some of the low-cost food. Frills that take away from the main entree at a lot of Chinese lunch specials. This one was the entree rice and a bowl of soup. I went for the general tso chicken with hot and sour soup and the wife went for cashew chicken also with hot and sour soup. The entrees were certainly front and center. The portions were large. Of course they are fresh from the kitchen and they were really delicious. If I had any concerns it would be at the pieces of chicken were too big for me to manage with chopsticks and so I had to resort to use my fork to cut it into pieces so I could eat. We also tried the sesame balls special. It's a a little bit sweet. Kind of like a filled donut hole rolled in sesame seeds. I'm not sure exactly what the filling is. I think some sort of bean paste but it was so delicious served fresh and hot. I've never had anything quite that tasty We'll be going back. I recommend you give it a shot read more

Excellent service and very tasty meals. I arrived at the dinner hour when all of Vancouver wanted to eat here...very busy. Promptly greeted and shown to a table, followed with hot tea kettle and water. They have an extensive menu, one is paper but the other is like a bound book with color photos. Choosing from the color photos I ordered the lamb skewers, Mapo tofu, and wontons in hot chili oil. They each arrived quickly, piping hot, and so very tasty. As usual, I ordered too much and couldn't finish it. But I didn't leave it behind, taking it to go back to my hotel for a snack later on. Excellent food and service. Give them a try, you will be pleased. read more

Ordered my usual bi-weekly (if not weekly) and had to double check the order..the usual fatty, fall off the bone, delishly sinful sizzling rice and pork ribs were dry and tough. The tongue numbing, habit forming wontons in chili oil more sour than spicy. Almost like the food was from a different not as amazing restaurant. I understand that most restaurants can have an off day but at these prices 1 dish off, okay. Both dishes off, No thank you! read more

Craving authentic Chinese food... and this delivered!! We got maybe a little too much food, but even the leftovers hit the spot! We ordered wontons in spicy oil, dry hot pot with lamb, stir fried rice cake and a pork belly appetizer with garlic sauce. Every single dish was a win but if o absolutely had to pick one favorite, it would be the rice cakes. I loved using my seven-year old level Mandarin with the servers as well. We will certainly be back. read more
