My new go-to Chinese takeout spot! 1st order: General Tso Shrimp -- absolutely delicious! I thought about it all week because it was THAT good. 2nd order: I got the General Tso Shrimp again (of course!) and ordered Shrimp Fried Rice for my husband. The shrimp was perfectly crispy with the right amount of sauce, and my husband loved his fried rice -- it even had a nice smoky flavor. Now it hasn't even been a full week and my husband just called asking if I wanted to order again! So here I am waiting (patiently... okay, impatiently ) for my Seafood Delight and his beloved Shrimp Fried Rice. They're fast, the food is consistently great, and I just realized General Tso Shrimp isn't even on their menu -- but they've made it for me twice without hesitation. LOL. Highly recommend! read more

Szechuan Express - General Tso Shrimp - my favorite! (Is not on the menu) - Chinese Near Me - Abingdon, Maryland

Bad Chinese food...First time ordering from this place, last time as well. Szechuan cooking is supposed to be full of flavor, this place had NONE. Chow fun was dry and flavorless. The shrimp fried rice was flavored ONLY with soy sauce. The string beans with beef was so sweet that I thought it was a desert. Very disappointed! read more

Tonight around 3:45pm we ordered take out!! The rice was hard and the noodles were greasey. Chicken over cooked!!

Pickup was quick, counter staff friendly Food was ok, first time trying this place. Chicken and broccoli portion was good, sauce seemed overly sweet. Fried eggroll was good. Pork fried rice had an odd flavor, maybe just different. Shrimp chow fun - shrimp was very bland. All in all food was cooked right but not that flavorful. read more

Been ordering takeout from here since 2012! Delicious foot selection!! A great dinner for Netflix night!

I have been coming here for 22 years at least once or twice per month. This fast food chinese is by far the best in Harford County. It is always good, complete within 15 minutes and I only had my order messed twice in 22 years. They will adjust the spice and flavor as you request it. Don't believe any reviews under 4, these folks just have to complain about something. read more

This is our go to Chinese takeout in Bel Air for the past several years. We order from here at least once per month. In my opinion, it is the best Chinese restaurant in this area. It is a small take-out restaurant located in a strip mall. There are a few tables for dinning in. They are open 6 days per week and closed on Tuesdays. I recommend the General Tso's Chicken. It is one of the best. Not overly sweet or drenched in sauce. Their Roast Pork Lo Mein and Fried Rice are also delicious. Not greasy like others. The food here is consistently good, much better than most sit in Chinese restaurants. read more

Finally had a taste of home and West Coast Chinese takeout. Found it here, where the workers actually speak Mandarin and can tell me what's in the food. Their lo mein is on point, not drenched in oil, and nicely mixed with veggies and meats sliced small. Their broccoli and beef was so good and not overly soft. Reminded me of home cooking! And their General Tso's chicken wasn't spicy but was very tasty! And you MUST TRY their buns! They're made the Asian way, with butter and milk and so much soft fluffy goodness! The spot is a bit small but it's homey and very comfortable. I look forward to coming back and trying more! So thankful for this spot!! read more

Szechuan Express - Menu on top! - Chinese Near Me - Abingdon, Maryland

Always great food. Our favorite place for a quick dinner. I think I've tried everything at least once and never disappointed. Favorite is the happy family. read more

This is my favorite place for Chinese... well it used to be. The last 3 times I got food there I ordered some things in Small sizes and each time I was given Large, and unknowingly paid for a large. They don't give itemized receipts and I'm a regular so I just trust them... until I get home and open the bag! The 1st time I thought it was an honest mistake. The 2nd time I gave them the benefit of doubt again but my radar was now up, but yesterday HE did it again. It's always the male owner who's responsible for these mistakes and I found out he does it on purpose!!! When I walked in he was trying to explain to another customer how the large size he gave him was MORE beneficial cost wise than the small that he ordered! When I got my order he'd done the same thing to me!!! I was livid. Then he said I should've been specific on the phone... which is just a lie because I ALWAYS am, and I speak perfectly clear English as well. When I told him this was the 3rd time he'd done it, and he should give me the large for the price of the small since he's consistently trying to be sneaky, he took my food and gave me a smaller portion and adjusted the price... all the while saying that his cook had quit and how hard it is to find good Chinese cooks and how he has to work so hard and sometimes cook himself, blah blah blah. I've been going here for 10 years... and only here... and even speak to him by his 1st name, but Ethan has likely lost a good customer by being so deceitful and dishonest. Lots of businesses are having a hard time these days. I know this because I'm a salesman in downtown Baltimore, but this is out in the suburbs where money isn't usually a problem for customers, and they are ALWAYS busy. I hope everyone who eats there sees this review. I'd report him to the BBB but they're not listed on there. The food is Great, but now I've got a bad taste in my mouth. Buyer beware of the sneaky, dishonest owner! read more

Best Chinese food I've had in Harford County yet! Reminds me of Chinese food I had growing up in Baltimore.

One of our favorite Oriental Restaurants. I just can't order here as much as I would like because I am disabled and they won't do curbside delivery. read more

Best Chinese food in the Abingdon area. We always get 2 orders of Szechuan dumplings. Orange chicken is always crispy and good. One of our go-tos! read more

N Since new owners there food has been upgraded. Much better staff and personnel to take your order. The quality and quantity are excellent and food is hot and ready to be eaten. I recommend Szechuan for any type of carry of carry out. read more

Be warned ... make sure you get your credit card back from the cashier. Last weekend, we did not and someone on the staff conveniently took the card and used it to purchase $ 200 worth of gas at a local station. It sure would have been admirable for the business to call on our cell phone (since that is how they keep track of orders) and kindly told us that they still had our card. read more

I hadn't been here in over a year and won't be going back!! The counter person was rude. After eating within 2 hours I was vomiting followed by a bout of diarrhea!!! read more

DO NOT EAT HERE My sister and her friend both got food poisoning and they had to call out of work due to vomiting constantly! I advise you to eat somewhere else.. its not worth it. read more

Dumplings are homemade and taste amazing! As well as the crab wontons and the service here is fast and the workers are very nice.

My first few meals from this restaurant were pretty good, but lately this food has been subpar. Last night we ordered vegetable pad Thai and the only vegetables present in this very dry and broken pasta were a few slivers of carrots! As for the General Tao's tofu, there were only two pieces of broccoli. Oh, and their cashier, who is quite chatty, commented on how she thought their food was over priced. Yeah, time for a staff meeting on how to improve their quality of food and improve their customer service. read more

Consistently a favorite lunch spot while working in Catonsville. Great service and good lunch for a fast pick up and good price.

I tried this place for the first time because it was closer to my new home; however, I won't return! The cashier was rude and proceeded to place my card, receipt, etc.. on the counter after I politely place it in her hand. She acted as if she was disgusted by me!!! Trust me, I'm never rude because I'm huge on customer service!!!! The sad part is, this review was placed even before trying my food so I'm not even sure if the food is good yet but even if it is I WILL NOT RETURN!! read more

We have tried 4 or 5 Chinese places in the area, and the food here was substantially better. I am guessing there is some variability, but everything from the shrimp toast and wonton soup to the sesame chicken and egg rolls was better than the other places we have tried. Right now, this is our go to place. read more

Our order came out to be $21.95 for delivery. But I was told $26.95 over the phone, so I gave $32 to the driver for a $5 tip. Imagine my face when I looked at the receipt. Dont screw your customers to get your drivers extra money, because you've lost my business permanently. TO FUTURE CUSTOMERS: CHECK THE RECIEPT BEFORE YOU TIP read more

My experience was much different from other patrons who have left reviews. It was easy placing my irder. The gentleman at the desk was pleasant. The food was tasty and enjoyed by my family. The Pineapple fried rice was a delight. read more

I have always liked the food fine. B plus. But today a young lady who was chopping raw meat, pork or chicken based upon color, saw me waiting and came over and handed me my food! She did not take off her gloves!! She stopped for a few seconds And washed her hands extremely quickly. She kept her gloves on the whole time!! Gloves are single use in food service. I asked the counter to rebag the food. They only nodded in agreement and never spoke as I explained how unsanitary that was. R U Serious!? I ordered beef and broccoli combo plate, not the salmonella sampler! I'm not sure I'll be back anytime soon. I would recommend Kings Chinese down the street instead. read more

We usually love this place, have been going for years. We always deal with the rude woman who answers the phone only because the food is good. I've tried ordering a couple of times since March 2020 and each time they were maskless. If you are compromised or looking for a safe place to order carry out I would not recommend them. read more

I have been going to Szechuan Express for years now. I live nearby, and for the longest time, we were ordering from them almost weekly. About three years ago, the prices went up, the portion sizes went down, and the service and food quality deminished as well. This was not only inconvenient because there are not many other Chinese food places nearby, but upsetting because there is an item on the menu that I really enjoy and cannot get anywhere else. I was really missing that dish about six months ago and went back. When they get the order right, the food is very good. This is evidenced by the crowd of people waiting to pick up orders on Friday and Saturday nights. Because of this, I have returned on a regular basis. Tonight, they were back to their old tricks. I called in my order and the person took it very hastily, told me how long it would take, and hung up. They did not review the order, give me a price, or even check to make sure the order was complete. Fifteen minutes later, I arrived, collected my order, and returned home. Sadly, the order was wrong. The full orders of items where prepared as combination platers, which meant less food. The portions for the orders that I did get were still smaller than expected for the price. I also did not receive a receipt so wasn't sure if I was charged correctly. I called to report the issue but was again rushed while on the phone, and the only option, despite the fact that they deliver was to return to them to get the corrected item. Who wants to drive back to the restaurant to get the item I should have gotten in the first place while the rest of the food gets cold and gross? This is the second time in the last six months that the order was incorrect. They just aren't dependable, and for those prices, it's not worth the risk of getting the wrong items. Don't think I will be back. read more

Szechuan Express in Abingdon is one of the best Chinese take out restaurants in Maryland. The service is great and the food is better. Fresh, hot, and delicious. The only one I use. read more

Wow... I don't know what's wrong with everyone here... writing all these scathing reviews? I have never had a bad experience here. I live around the corner and eat here all the time. Chinese food can rarely be bad, but it can happen... just not here. As far as their service and etiquette protocols? It's take out! What do you want besides great food done quickly and moderately priced??? Asian people can seem rude (especially when they're busy) but so can Americans. This is NOT a full-service establishment. Don't expect the white glove treatment... expect great food and a price to match. My only complaint... sometimes I wish there was more sauce, but that's just me. I LOVE THIS PLACE and until I move further away it will ALWAYS be my go-to for Chinese take-out. The only place I've truly had better was in Chinatown in San Francisco, where we were the only Americans in a crowded restaurant, and the menu was totally in Chinese! I consider myself somewhat of a food snob, though I eat most everything. Contrary to many of these Yelp opinions... You cannot go wrong with this place. Try it... again and again! Signed, K-dub (the guy who loves Chinese grub) read more

Definitely the best Chinese take-out place in Abingdon, but then again there are not many around here. The general tso's is actually pretty good and the wait time to get my order is really quick. read more

The best part about this place is no filler (water chestnuts) in the Kung Pao chicken! The General Tso's is decent. This is definitely the best Chinese place in the 21009, but there's not a lot of competition. The fried rice could be better for one thing. Make sure you're hungry when you order because I'm pretty sure my order arrived a couple of minutes before I actually picked up the phone to order. You might wonder why I even bothered to call if my food already arrived- well it is obvious that I did not want to alter the time loop! 4/4 stars would order time travel Chinese again. read more

Szechuan Express - Gen. Tso's chicken - Chinese Near Me - Abingdon, Maryland

It's great for what it is- if you want take out, the food is normally pretty good (though they can be a little inconsistent). I love the chicken with broccoli. if you want to eat in... that's another story. The folks who run it seem to be bothered by customers & if you're taking too long to decide they'll leave the counter and do something else until you flag them down. read more

Awful! Ordered from GrubHub and paid the outrageous delivery fees only to realize they left off a soup, an egg roll and also did not follow the instructions properly because we asked for steamed rice on both meals Nd ended up with fried. When I called to ask if they could please send me a soup and egg roll and a side of steamed rice, the lady on the phone said "no, I don't have a driver"! Plus she tried to use the excuse she didn't charge me for the missing items, which is NOT the point. We ordered what we wanted and regardless of not charging me, take the time and get it right!! Just a rude response to a customer complaint. Won't be spending my money here anymore. read more

Not bad, the shrimp stuff is the best. The prices are okay. The service is also okay. Food is kind of too oily.

Best Chinese take out in area, General Tso's chicken has the perfect spices. War Won ton soup is good. read more

This is our go to Chinese take out place in the area. My personal favorite is their Chicken and Brocolli with White Sauce only and of course their Egg Rolls. read more

I am always impressed with the food from here. The general tso chicken combo is always a winner. And try adding a order of the steamed dumplings YUM!! When it comes to delivery it is always fast and accurate. read more

Wow, the food quality looks great! I've remembered this place since 2008. Any foods taste delicious for me because these foods are made with fresh! read more

Very fast pickup. Orders are usually ready within 10 minutes of ordering and are always hot and fresh. Shrimp egg roles are homemade not frozen!!! read more

Do you like to get spoken to in a condescending and rude tone? Do you like to get the phone slammed down on you? Do you like to get charged an extra $2 for fried rice instead of white rice with your $10 order of General Tso's Chicken that somehow takes your total from $30 to $36? Do you like to have items missing from your delivery order? Do you like to get the phone slammed on you two more times when you call to ask about it? If so, you'll love this place. My family has given them many chances over the last several years, and I think we're finally done. The food is okay, but it's nowhere near good enough to make up for the way you'll be treated when you try to order from here. I feel like I'm in a Seinfeld episode when I try to deal with this place. read more
