    General Tso's Chicken Dinner Combo, really well presented. Just the right portion.
    Andrew C.

    I just moved to the area and of course the first thing you should do after finding a good pizza place (Squisito's!) is find a good Chinese place. Szechuan No.1 is pretty darn good as Chinese delivery goes. They arrived exactly when they said they would, the food was piping hot, and REALLY well presented for delivery Chinese. I mean just look at the photos. The price is right (19.02 for General Tso's Chicken and Sesame Chicken Dinner Combos), the food is tasty (though I thought the egg rolls could've gone in the fryer just a litttttle longer), and what else could you really ask for? If I had to nitpick tho, I'd say it's frustrating that they don't seem to have any website, so I had to call instead of order online, the menu on Yelp is several years old so I don't know if it's accurate, and they didn't provide a menu in their delivery bag, so I can't keep it on the fridge for the future. Next time I order I'll go pick it up so I can get a fresh menu.

    Chicken with Spicy Salt and Pepper

    I know Chinese places aren't typically the place to go for quality food, but honestly this place is pretty darn good. This is the place my boyfriend and I go when we want something quick, cheap, and good. He always gets general tso's chicken and I always get the crispy chicken with spicy salt and pepper. There is something so satisfying about crispy food and salt that I just crave it sometimes. I literally got it twice in one week I couldn't resist. The best thing about rhis place is the price! So cheap and so much food!

    Despite living in this area for years, I Just tried it for the first time & it defenitely didn't disappoint! I recommend the General Tso's chicken, Beef Chow Fun & Egg Drop Soup!

    Supposed to be general tso chicken- but it's not chicken
    Larry S.

    Worst Chinese food EVER! The rice was dry, hard and had no flavor. The chicken lo Mein tasted like noodles with no flavor. The general Tso was huge pieces, with a bunch of random filler and no chicken. I seriously couldn't tell what was in it. See my picture. I figured at least the fortune cookies would be good but nope...those were stale. Drive somewhere else...anywhere.

    I was on the hunt for salt and pepper shrimp (without head and shell) that doesn't cost a fortune. This is the place!! I got that and an order of the shrimp spring rolls. The salt and pepper shrimp was so good! You can tell they freshly prepared it with a good kick to it. I asked it to be spicy, so there was a good amount of pepper & jalapeño, which was perfect. The shrimp spring rolls were okay, nothing to write home about. Also, the lady who works there is so sweet. I didn't catch her name but she made sure that my order was correct and showed me before she put it in the bag. That was very appreciative! Will definitely be back to try out more things!

    When I want chicken wings with Mambo sauce this is where I go. The wings here are huge and cheap. The lunch specials at Szechuan 1 are very affordable too.

    Chubby egg roll.
    James S.

    This is my new choice for Chinese food since I moved to the neighborhood. It's the typical takeout Chinese place: pictures of the food on the walls, two tables if you're crazy enough to dine in, drink cooler in front of the counter. Their egg rolls are short and chubby compared to most. The one extraordinary thing is they have whole roasted duck on the menu. I'm going to have to try it sometime. I had the pork fried rice. It seemed to take longer than I expected but I didn't check my watch. Save time and call ahead if you live in the area.

I tried a couple of places in Wheaton in the 3 years I lived here, but the very best was Full Key. I only visited one time on Saturday, July 20, 2018 on a date. It just so happened to be the rainiest July day since 1970 in DC and 5th rainiest day ever in July, 6th after 2022 day had more. I lived a very close walk to this center, and I trudged out in the heavy rain with my biggest umbrella & rain slicker to meet up with my date. Service was prompt and cordial. Wow, this was one of the best Chinese I've had! As for the date, it was great. She was from one of the dating websites. We went on a 2nd date the very next day, but she ghosted me. Then, I came across her again online about 9 months later, and we went out on another date in May 2019. I asked her what happened, and she explained whatever excuse with personal stuff going on or whatever. All 3 of the dates were good, but she had her issues. In summary, in spite of my kind of weird date & such a rainy day going here, I'll need to take my girlfriend here to enjoy the outstanding food if we're ever in Wheaton hopefully under sunnier skies.

    Incredible!!!…read more Everyone should get the chance to eat here. Truly such a delicious and perfect menu and eating experience.

Parking is a bit limited which could be a stressor but it's so worth it! You must eat here- 5/5

We have been familiar with the area for years, as my father-in-law lived 3 minutes away, and recently we realized this was his go-to carryout. After 3 visits, I can say it's one of the best in the DMV, thanks to its flavor and food choices. You will find Japanese options like sushi, American-Chinese dishes like orange chicken, similar dishes, and Cantonese food like roast duck, Hong Kong-style noodle soups, and whole fish. They are family-owned and operated. Every time we come, the elder father is always gracious and provides excellent service. The restaurant is always quiet; you can hear conversations in the back, and as customers arrive to pick up their orders, we haven't witnessed any negative interactions. Customers are always happy with their food, and the staff say thank you. The only negative is the space. The building itself is older and outdated. In the summer, it is hot, and now in the winter, there is no heat. They have found ways to make it work, like space heaters on each table, but it can still get uncomfortable if you are dining in. The back area near the bathroom and the bathroom itself need a thorough cleaning. To me, it's a turnoff; it doesn't affect the food, but it does affect the dine-in experience. Again, overall, I love their food and believe it's a local gem worth a try.

We ordered the Crystal noodles with shredded beef & vegetables (41) And the Fried rice with vegetable (10). The fried rice comes with the bean sauce which i didn't know (not listed on the menu I had) and contains pork. When i attempted to get a new version, it took 3 staff members asking why. The, what I assume to be the manager, said she would take it off the bill after I said I DONT EAT PORK... I also canceled my to go order before they cooked it but somehow that was never relayed to the kitchen and they brought it out ...I left hungry lol.

I didn't find any krab or even the taste of it, but good none the less. I shared another appetizer, inuri ( not sure if spelling), tofu fried in a wrapper and covered in a delicious sweet sauce. I'm not a tofu person, but this dish could change that! DH ordered hot and sour soup and drunken noodles. Not a fan of hot and sour soup but I liked this one! So did DH. He loved his drunken noodles with pork. It had a hint of curry and was a little spicy. He ordered a sweet tea and said it was really, really sweet. Diner #2 ordered miso soup and teriyaki chicken. She loved the soup and I got to taste her chicken. It came kind of fajita style on a sizzling platter with red and green peppers, broccoli and a little bit of onion with a generous portion of chicken breast sliced on top with a good sauce and sesame seeds. It was accompanied by white rice. Large enough portion that she has lunch for tomorrow! Diner #3 ordered an eel roll and a few pieces of fat salmon sashimi. She said it was all good. I ordered pad Thai with shrimp. Several large shrimp were delicious and the noodles were very good. I ordered it as mild as possible and there was not a hint of 'hot' spice although it was physically really hot, which I love. I think next time I'd ask for a little heat in it.

Here at Wing Wah you get to lean a new Culture, Language and heritage you never knew or explored before . Here you grt to become something much bigger than yourself there. All who come here you'll get an experience you'll all never forget i promise you . Plus the food you get there will blow your mind . Of what happened during the Covid Pandemic it was all of us Americans were at fault for the inexcusable unjustifiable Reprehensible unlawful, And Wrongful behaviors .
