Always amazing! Fast fresh and reasonably priced ! The ladies are always friendly and provide great service. It's a favorite for sure! The crispy fish is catfish and phenomenal!! The lighting and decor are great!! read more

The servers are kind, aesthetically not appealing. The space is just chairs, tables, and white walls. The crab Rangoon was mainly cream cheese, and the spring rolls were not filled up. Our mains were portioned well. Not a knock out spot but not bad. read more

Came here for weekend lunch and there was plenty of open seating. Pretty impressed by the menu options, there were a lot to choose from. Ended up ordering the water spinach (Kong xin cai), kung pao chicken, dried pot with lamb. The water spinach was fresh tasting and delicious, had a good veggie crunch, not soggy or overcooked. The kung pao chicken was also pretty good, well portioned and came with veggies (bell peppers). It was my first time having dry pot and I liked that it came with plenty of meat and veggies (bean sprouts, lotus root, cilantro, celery) and even had seaweed and tofu. Overall all were good dishes and hit that craving for Chinese food. They all came out quickly. Service was decent. Conveniently neighboring the asian grocery store Tink Holl, though that also means parking can be limited if the grocery store is also packed. Definitely will consider coming back. read more

Szechuan Gourmet was fantastic! They had an extensive menu and I really enjoyed the entrees we ordered: the leek and bean curd as well as the spicy fish fillet. The fish was crispy and they definitely brought the heat! The wonton soup appetizer and the scallion pancakes were also decent. I appreciated the entrees all came with rice, and thought everything was really well-priced! The service was quick and the ambiance was pretty no-frills. There was free parking in the lot, too. read more

Went here for lunch with friends and had an excellent time. The service was so fast and the food was delicious. We ordered a bunch to share including the salt and pepper tofu which was my favorite and the Mongolian beef. So affordable and delicious - I know I keep saying that, but we all kept saying "this is so good" because it really was so good. It is a great place for a casual meal and is quiet which I liked. read more

The tofu with seafood and vegetable entree. $18, was not flavorful but had an excellent volume of seafood and mixed vegetables in a sort of gelatinous thin sauce. It had no spices. Good plain protein meal. The fried lamb w/cumin, $18, was very very spicy. See before and after pics. read more

#1 authentic Szechuan food you can get in Cleveland/NE Ohio area, and probably the best overall authentic Chinese restaurant in Cleveland area! My go-tos are: 212 Dried Sauteed String Bean干煸四季豆 - a bity salty but mix it with your rice the flavor hits every time! 192 Salt & Pepper Crispy Tofu椒鹽豆腐 181 Fish Filet w.Pine Nut in sweet and sour sauce糖醋松子魚 - sweet and tangy yet savory sauce on deep fried fish with pine nuts (SO delicious! and no fishy taste!) 219 Water Spinach空心菜 - recommend with garlic option Also tried a stewed beef option this time and it was pretty tender! Overall, if your spice tolerance isn't high, I still think many of their dishes are tolerable for those who don't frequently eat spice and you can ask the staff to tone down the spice for some dishes. Service was efficient and friendly, often filling up our waters. Booth and roundtable seating with lazy susan available for small and large parties - takeout here is popular too! I often stop by Tink holl (next door) for groceries - recommend going their for affordable and fresh asian vegetables. Parking lot available. read more

I love this place. I usually get the pepper chicken and the green beans. But today I decided to try something new. I got the pepper fried rice with shrimp and an order of spring rolls. The fried rice has one pepper next to it so I asked how spicy it was and she told me it was spicy. I asked her could it be made a little less spicy and she said yes so I ordered. When I got home and ate it for one pepper and for supposedly taking some spice away, it was ridiculously hot and I am not a punk to spice. I don't think they changed anything at all . It does have good flavor. But I don't know how much of it I can eat. I gave it four stars because I still love this place so next time I'll just get my usual. read more

I'll be honest, I had high hopes for this place given the reviews. But I doubt I'll be going back after this. I ordered the General Tsao's Chicken with white rice and a pork egg roll. The pieces of chicken were too enormous to cut with chopsticks. What made them more difficult to cut and chew was that they were overcooked (over-fried). All the pieces were difficult to bite into. They even tasted burnt. The eggroll was tasteless. I was looking forward to a good, old-fashioned, thick eggroll filled with cabbage and pork. Nope. It was bland, tasteless, and not all that thick. I'm really bummed to be giving this restaurant such a low score. I just moved to Cleveland a month ago and was hoping to find my "Chinese food" spot. read more

Very very tasty. It required us to uber from the city to that side of town. It was well worth the uber. Next time we are in town, salt pepper fish. read more

Wow! Went with my family this past weekend and when I say everything we ordered was delicious I am not exaggerating! We tried the spicy wontons which had a thin wrapper and a perfect spice. The general tsos chicken didn't look like much but it was crunchy and perfectly sweet and spicy. The beef ho fun had plenty of beef. The dried green beans were the star of the show though. Super casual and low key. No pushy service either. Will be returning! read more

The food was very good. The service was absolutely terrible.The young girl that greeted you at the door had no interest in serving your food. She never came to our table not one time.

The real deal for authentic Szechuan food in Cleveland. The decor is modest, but the restaurant is clean and it's more than made up for by the friendly, attentive staff, huge menu, and excellent food. While they specialize in spicy, Szechuan cuisine, they have many non-spicy dishes, available as well, making it a great option for families. Lots of pictures are posted on the walls and on the menu to help you decide what to order. Prices are reasonable as well and they have their own parking lot, which is a pleasant addition. read more

This spot is a bit of a hidden gem when it comes to food! While the service was just alright and the ambiance could use some improvement, the dishes more than made up for it. The food was surprisingly delicious, especially for such an unassuming place. I highly recommend trying the mayo tofu dry pot or the dry chili chicken--both were flavorful and cooked to perfection. If you're looking for amazing food and can overlook the setting, it's definitely worth a visit! read more

Only negative, and I agree with other reviewers, the young girl who seated us was not very pleasant, impatient and an eye rollers. read more

Love this place, best Szechuan for cleveland area. People should try other places in the west coast fyi if they're still uncertain about this cuisine. This restaurant is the best here but definitely can be improved upon. The fried chicken is good but can be kind of hard and the pieces are so small it's gets blended with the chilies too easily. read more

Horrible service, the serving lady was extremely hostile for no reason. The food was so so!

Wonderful food. Basic ambiance but it doesn't matter because the focus is on the killer food. Haha Highly recommended. \m/

I love this restaurant. It is probably my favorite in Asiatown. It might be my favorite restaurant period. I say that now because I just ate there. But it is really good. Three of us split spicy crispy intestine, cold beef tendon and tripe, tangerine beef and spicy chicken with peanuts. It was all just wonderful. The tripe had a citrusy spicy vinaigrette type dressing. Nice and spicy and a bit numbing. The candied citrus peels in the beef gave it a beautiful floral aroma. Spicy chicken was probably the hottest dish. That being said nothing was off the charts. The chicken and intestines were covered in roasted dried chili pieces. So you could adjust your heat by how many you ate. I ate a lot and left a ton behind also. I don't get to this place often enough. I need to change that. read more

I have yet to dine in at this restaurant, but every time I order takeout from here it's always a great experience. The order is always correct, fresh, and tasty. Today I ordered pickup from here again and the woman at the front counter was such a delight and so helpful. Thank you!! read more

My review is based on my personal tastes of not being able to handle anything spicy. Our friend brought us here because its her favorite Chinese restaurant. She did order some dishes to be "not spicy" and I really did enjoy the kung pao tofu. It was so crispy and delicious. The lotus root was a new dish for me and I liked that as well. My wife ordered tangerine chicken, she enjoyed it, but our friend said it didn't have the tangerine sauce. It was another sauce. I ordered shrimp lo mein and those shrimp were TINY. I was expecting larger shrimp. This dish was a bit greasy, as was the scallion pancake. The won ton soup had zero flavor. I had to add some soy and hot mustard. The won ton was good. read more

We showed up tonight at 8:30 (5/30) as we normally do for dinner on Fridays and were told that they already cleaned the tables so they are carryout only. We were quite disappointed as we are regulars and they typically close at 9:30. We had never seen the woman working the front desk so I am bringing this to the attention of management so that they can address. read more

This place is situated in the heart of the Asian district in Cleveland. The food here is very tasty, and authentic. The service was a bit slow, and I had to ask for some things a few times before getting them. The carbonated beverages come out of a can, so I stuck with water. Inside is very basic decor, but roomy and clean. I would have given a 4th star if the service was a little better. I would return, because I would like to try a few other items that I saw on the menu. It's worth a try if you haven't eaten here before. read more

This is only a review of their food, not the restaurant itself, as I've only ordered takeout. Their food feels like typical Chinese takeout, in the best way possible. I can always find the food I want that feels comforting and great at the end of a long, exhausting week. My go-to orders include wontons with spicy sauce, braised ribs, one of the many chicken dishes, mapo tofu, and MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE - eggplants with brown sauce. The best thing about this restaurant is consistency. I've probably ordered from here ~10 times in the year I've lived here and every time the delivery comes warm and everything is tasty. I'm a fan! read more

I was very disappointed by my experience tonight. I got the sesame chicken, egg roll and scallion pancake. The sesame chicken pieces were large but they were literally all breading, no chicken inside, really hard overly fried breading. I kept trying more pieces to find chicken inside and there were literally none. The scallion pancake was ok, very little scallions and really oily. The egg roll was the best part. Maybe I ordered the wrong main dish but I don't know if I would go back to try anything else after this. read more

Pleasantly surprised by this place. From the outside I thought it was just a to go place, but you can go in and sit and have a nice meal. I got the salted chicken and Chinese green beans and it was a lot of food & tasted really good! The only thing that lacked flavor was the fried rice, it really was tasteless. I took my leftovers home and my kids went nuts on it and want to go next time we go out to dinner as a family! read more

I have been having great experience after great experience after great experience in Cleveland lately and Szechuan Gourmet did not disappoint. After a Yelp search in Asiatown, hubby and I decided to give it a try and am real happy we did. Although the restaurant doesn't look like much on the inside, the food is phenomenal. My husbands favorite type of food is Chinese and he said that this is the best he's had in many, many years. We kept it pretty simple with Crab Rangoons, Walnut Shrimp, and Tofu in brown sauce and they were excellent choices. After realizing that the restaurant is connected to a fish market, we will definitely be ordering some fish entrees next time. Great experience, can't wait to be back soon! read more

TLDR; If you asked me what is the first place you should eat at in Cleveland, without hesitation I'd tell you to go to Szechuan Gourmet. For the last 1.5 years, I ordered from Schezuan Gourmet once a month (at least). When exams roll around, I kid you not, I order an entire week's worth of lunch and dinners for $60 from Schezuan Gourmet. I keep the menu in the top drawer of my desk. This is my go-to takeout place, and I cannot stop recommending it to everyone I meet. If we've spoken, I've most likely found more than one way to bring this place into the conversation. And no, I've never eaten a sit down meal at their establishment: I discovered Schezuan Gourmet during the peak of the 2020 pandemic, and they have the best take out in the city. Yes, their menu is massive. So, I'll let you in my secret: my delicious takeout order. I always snag: #207 sour and spicy potatoes. If you've never had it, it's shredded potatoes that are soaked then fried and paired with vinegar, spices, ginger, and pepper. Mouth watering yet? #192 Salt and Pepper Crispy Tofu. This is extra firm tofu with an extremely crispy exterior and fluffy interior. I love to scoop up the crispy pieces of garlic, chilies and peppers and sprinkle them over my rice (or directly into my mouth, don't judge). The serving is ginormous, and this tofu does! not! quit! Count on it to last in the fridge - pop it into a toaster and viola - crispy goodness once more. Other honorable mentions: #215 Lotus Root & Peanut with Dried Pepper. Crunchy, flavorful, savory peanuts. Recently tried it, and it has become part of my rotation. #212 Dried Sautéed String Beans. I can't say I've ever seen a bean sprout in my order, but this is salty, crisp, garlicky goodness. #219 Sautéed Water Spinach with Garlic. This one is for all my broth lovers out there. All the folks that love to spoon a nice sauce over their rice, and then enjoy a part crunchy part super soft vegetable. You know who you are. #246 Hot & Sour Soup. If I'm ordering this, it is always a large, and because I want something so hot I'll tear up and use up a box of tissues in the process. To me, that's the best thing hot & sour soup can do you for you. #152 Shrimp in Spicy Garlic Sauce. Not that many shrimp, but a thick flavorful sauce. Was pleasantly surprised by how good this was. My order is usually ready in 30 minutes or less, which is perfect because that's how far I am. There's a huge parking which is very convenient. Everyone is always very kind. read more

Came here on a date for NYE and ordered a ton of dishes for just 2 people. Portions were ample, prices were reasonable, presentation was great and taste was authentic and amazing. It was kind of dark, dimly lit and had an overall glum atmosphere, but it almost didn't matter because the food was so good. Our server was chipper and friendly. There was even a small parking lot. I will definitely be back. read more

This is probably the best Chinese food in Cleveland even though I have to visit some other Chinese restaurants in Cleveland. I've traveled to two different cities in China (in 2015) and the food here is authentic; however, I will say that the dishes I had here had too much oil. FOOD OPTIONS -- The menu is big so you will have plenty of options to choose from. I visited last week Friday, 30 August 2019 with my friend Ami. We ordered a bunch of food to share (see attached photos). APPETISERS: My friend and I started off with 2 different appetisers: 1) Scallion Pancakes ($3.95) - These are mini pancakes that come in a plate of about 6 total. These are a perfect, little snack. But, once you have 2, you're be tired of all the oil 2) Lamb Skewers ($6.95) - This was the least oily dish out of everything we ate. It was a bit dry but still tasted very good. If you like lamb then you'll love them at this restaurant. MAIN COURSE 1) Szechuan Dried Pepper Chicken with Peanut ($13.95) - This was definitely my favourite dish of the night. It came with white rice. 2) Dan Dan Noodles with minced pork and minced ($6.95) - Very delicious but also too oily. My only con is that the food here has alot of oil in it which at a certain point started to affect my stomach. So while the oil probably made the food taste better, I would prefer less oil. Nonetheless, I can't wait to return back to try some unique Chinese style vegetables. I recommend ordering a few food items and then sharing them with a friend or friends. This will allow you to try several dishes at once and save money. **** - 126 total reviews in 2019 - 335 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 5 September 2019 read more

If you're looking for a place that offers options for those who want truly authentic Chinese food (chicken feet, duck intestine, etc.) AND American-style Chinese food (General Tso's, Sesame, or Orange Chicken) for those who are a little less adventurous, Sichuan Gourmet delivers on all fronts! Both authentic and American Chinese dishes taste great! It's one of my parents' favorite Chinese restaurants whenever they visit. The service is quick and friendly, although you may have to ask for water refills at some point. The place is clean with nice background music that's not too loud or invasive. read more
