Great quality Szechuan Chinese food! I Always order the Mapo Tofu and the Singapore Style Noodles. I'm usually not able to eat really spicy food but for me, this place is worth the pain. My favorites also include the Cumin Lamb, Soup Dumplings, Crispy Spring Rolls, Dan Dan Noodles, Lo Mein, and Sesame Chicken. It's nice to sit inside, but I usually just get pick-up/delivery as it's on my way home from work. Have brought family and friends and they also agree the menu is larger than a typical American-style Chinese restaurant, but they do have familiar items for people accustomed to less authentic cuisine. I definitely recommend trying as many different things from Szechuan Garden as you can. read more

Just had the best Cumin Lab (from here, many times, or anywhere), and sautéd string beans. Delicious food as always. Service is polite and efficient while the ambiance classic Chinese-American with Christmas decorations for the season. read more

I was so excited to try this place out because of the reviews. I was hesitant because it was pretty pricey, but I was like why not. I ordered the wok tossed prawns and shrimp fried rice. Both were very disappointing and didn't have any flavor. The shrimp in the rice was soggy if that makes sense and the prawns had way too much batter put on it, so when it was fried it also came out as soggy/mushy. Will not be back. read more

Solid Chinese restaurant! I have only ordered takeout from this restaurant. My favorites: - Cold noodles - Ma po tofu I've also had the eggplant in garlic sauce, crab tofu, chongqing chicken, spinach with minced ginger, diced chicken with spicy garlic sauce and they were all great. I have not had the dan dan noodles at the restaurant, but they don't travel too well for takeout because the noodles get slightly too soft. (That's why the cold noodles are great for takeout!) I also was not a fan of the fish filet with pine nut in sweet vinegar sauce. It was slightly too sweet for my taste. read more

Great lunch specials with hearty portions! I really enjoyed my double-cooked pork, which was very flavorful and the perfect amount of spice. The first time I had it, the pork was nicely seared, but the second time, it was a bit flabby and fatty. Leeks were used instead of garlic greens but still delicious! The fried rice I got with it is whatever, but just add the sauce/chili oil from your dish and voila! Transformed! Beef with long hot peppers was okay, a bit sweet, not as spicy and flavorful as others I've had but still good. Dan dan mian was pretty good--could use more meat sauce on top but the portion size was great. Food was always ready when I went to pick it up and staff are pretty agreeable. A good spot for some quick Sichuan food! read more

Good experience here! I've been meaning to come for years. Started with egg drop soup and veggie spring roll. Egg drop soup was above average, could use a touch of salt but was extra yolky. Veggie spring roll was crunchy hot and fresh. For the mains, I went with the fried tofu wrapped in egg, mainly bc I wanted to keep it veg and wanted a dish I'd never had before. Anywho, the dish was a huge portion, and was essentially a well-done thin crepe that wrapped about a pound of soft tofu, bokchoy, and chestnuts. The whole thing was drenched in umami sauce. I thought it was pretty good! I wish it wasn't as drenched in sauce, but it tasted good, fresh, and worked better over rice. I'd definitely come back, perhaps try something spicier and crispier. Good first try, solid prompt service as well... thanks team! read more

Delicious! Same taste as 6 years ago back at school. 辣度适中，选择多，味道地道，纽约中餐的水平还是比加州高。有机会再来 read more

Szechuan Garden is a gem for us uptown people. I have never had a bad dish. Granted I only eat Szechuan dishes (not the American Chinese takeout dishes). All the Szechuan dishes hit so good. I even asked them to make it spicy and they used Thai chilis. God it hurt so good. I've never been to the restaurant as I just order it via uber eats. But I sure as hell want to visit them now. Can't wait to order from them again! read more

It was abnormally hot for October so we decided to grab some sesame cold noodles and they were good taste wise but I wish they were less dry and a bit overdone. We also tried the the pork soup dumplings which also were good taste wise but barley had soup in them. Also the vinegar was put in a bowl rather than something with an easy pour spout so it was hard to use. Service was amazing we got our drinks right away and checked on often. Loved the vibe of the place. Authentic and chill. read more

Best Chinese food in the neighborhood! I have been to many others and after being disappointed, always return here where the food is fresh, authentic and served hot. The service is always fast and attentive. It's easy to miss since it's just in, off the corner off Broadway down a few steps. Right around the corner from Silver Moon Bakery which is perfect for dessert. read more

Service was great! Cocktails were wonderful and the atmosphere was classic and inviting!

There is a really good restaurant next to Columbia University. You can take the subway directly here it's really recommended I really recommend the lamp here. read more

Best Chinese in the neighborhood. Highly recommend the egg drop soup, the tofu wrapped in egg, the cumin lamb and the dan dan noodles.

Delicious food came super fast and hot. Yes it's a bit pricey but the quality is 10 out of 10. This was my first time ordering delivery from then and I was not disappointed. So glad they are in the neighborhood! read more

The food here is amazing and authentic. Their dry stir-fried fish is the best I have found around Columbia campus--it is both crispy and a perfect mixture of spice and flavor. Another recommendation is their baby eggplant in spicy garlic sauce. It is a must-have if you want to include some veggies in your meal and/or like eggplants. For carbs go for the Singaporean stir fry noodles: ask for extra curry sauce if you like that extra oomph in your food! Double cooked pork was average: not that special. Too many onions and too little meat. Pricing is affordable considering the portion size. Note: they only give rice for the dishes that are not noodle or fried rice dishes, but rice is a must-have for most of their dishes since it's so flavorful (costs 1.50). read more

Got Uber ears from here.. the lo mein was bad.. the quality of Uber eats vs in restaurant could be different so not the biggest fan

Good food and good service. The place has a relaxed feel. Nothing fancy, but just right. Family friendly. We'll come back again.

For most of the dishes that I tried, four stars is not nearly enough, however, some dishes should not be on the menu, such as soup dumplings which are a bad call here (I can get frozen soup dumplings and make them at home). No need to have them on the menu - There were other exceptions, but for the most part, everything else was great; the superstar was cumin lamb. Crispy cucumber (super simple, super fresh ), and chengdu wonton were also both very good. Service was good and kind. I brought cupcakes for my daughter's birthday - they said no problem, brought out plates and helped me light my candles. So kind. The decor is obviously not the priority here. Definitely recommend and looking forward to going back and trying more dishes. read more

Really good location and the interior is nice and spacious. The menu offers a selection of spicy and non spicy food which tailors to different customers. They also accept credit cards. I would highly recommend this spot if you live around the neighborhood and are looking for non-spicy Chinese food. read more

I used to go here all the time then I moved...went back to visit recently and the ambiance is the same and large portions but everything else wasn't the same. More expensive, not as flavorful and the staff seemed annoyed we walked in. read more

Szechuan Garden has become a staple order in spot at our hospital. They delivers food hot and fast! I ordered Stir Fry Beef with Scallions and it was pretty good!

Went here for CNY and it was pretty good! There's not a ton of good Chinese food uptown but I thought this was good and would come back. It was a tad bit too salty but the flavors were legit. They have us an extra rice cake dish they were making for CNY. They were quite busy that evening but still very good! They only offered tea or water but you couldn't get both. Overall decent real Szechuan food uptown! read more

Szechuan Garden - 143. Sauteed String Beans, 142. Mapo Tofu and Spicy Braised with Minced Pork, - Szechuan Near Me - New York, New York

So this review isn't about the food but the service that we received today. I used to come here when I went to Columbia on a daily basis, but after I graduated I didn't come back here for awhile now. The service we received today by 1 of the female waitresses was just average at best, so I decided to only give her a 12% tip. She saw this and proceeded to say this is not acceptable and wanted to force me to change the amount I gave her. I told her that her service was average and that I didn't want to change the amount, so she proceeded to argue with me and said I didn't have a choice and had to give her a higher tip. I really liked this restaurant and have always had a great experience there, but this waitress really changed my view of the business. read more

I got takeout at this place for lunch for me and my dad and the lunch specials are pretty affordable ($12/each) but I feel like the portions could be bigger (half my portion of twice-cooked pork was vegetable). The food did come out very quickly and it seems popular with students from Columbia nearby :) read more

Szechuan food is one of my favorite cuisine and this place did not disappoint. Was craving for some spicy and Málà Chinese food while in the area and this place delivered. We ordered a bunch of dishes including sautéed string beans, spicy garlic eggplant, fish fillet in numbing spicy broth and everything was spicy and yummy. And also the portion was beyond generous for the price and also the food came out super hot and fast. The only thing we ordered that we didn't like (not pictured) was the tofu with crab meat. It did not have any crab inside and was lack in flavor. Service was also super friendly. Definitely recommended read more
