A nice place for some decent Chinese food. This is a must go place. Everything is good on the menu

This is an excellent new restaurant. They have only been open a few weeks, but word is getting out about them and it totally should. The atmosphere is beautiful. The tables are comfortable and the staff accommodating. We dined from 5pm to 7pm on a Thursday night. We were the first people there and when we left it was a packed house. Was disappointed that they didn't have pork belly buns, but since we are absolutely going back, we will try them next time. We had two different seafood dishes and they were incredibly fresh. The spices are great, not overpowering the flavor of the dishes. The only basic thing we tried was the crab Rangoon and it was delicious. Honestly can't wait to go back and am totally telling my friends to give them a try. read more

This restaurant has the best Szechuan Chinese food is this area . Serve a variety of different dishes, grand opening now. I hi recommend coming here to dine in read more

Authentic, fresh and out of this country meals. Best Asian cuisine found in Rochester. The lamb dry pot was absolutely incredible and I can tell you the dumplings were the best we've had. They were light and flavorful. The only downside was having to stop eating. Check them out, you won't be disappointed! read more

See all

It's a beautiful restaurant! The decor is chic and lovely. The service was exceptional. The menu was very self-explanatory which was helpful. Food was plentiful, as we took a large doggy bag home. This is true Szechuan food at it's finest. A great experience in Rochester. Finally authentic Szechuan food! We'll be back for more. read more

Lovely atmosphere and the food options are not only varied but what I had was exceptional! Can't wait to try more things there. The staff was super nice as well. read more

Had a terrible experience as a first time customer. It was recommended by a friend but I was very disappointed. The spring rolls were mushy on the inside. I ordered sesame chicken which was very heavy and did not have great flavor also ordered the shredded beef. It was so spicy it was impossible to eat and I like spicy food. I asked the waiter to send it back and order something different. He would not let me he said he would take it back and they would try to adjust the spice which truly is impossible at that point. It came back and I was still not able to eat it he did not care did not take it off the bill. I will not come back again. The service was very slow the atmosphere was less than appealing it was very bright no music you got very small plates they did not even offer to give you a fork I had to get up and get it myself it was just an unpleasant experience overall bad unfortunately. read more

Really looking forward to Something Different, however was disappointed with the texture and condition of the chicken in my supey chicken dish. The spices were great, although the oil in this dish sat on the top sides of the bowl. The chicken was slippery and thin in texture, which lead me to believe that the chicken was frozen process chicken and not 100% real chicken. Which is VERY disappointing to say the least. I have experiences this kind of bait and switch at a very well known Chinese restaurant on Monroe Avenue in Rochester. The atmosphere was great, it made me feel like I was in China. Spices good and they are certainly trying. But "buyer be beware" the meat, at least the chicken is PROCESSED chicken product. read more

We ordered potstickers and two of the sizzling dishes. Potstickers good, sizzling pots very sweet and not as many veggies as expected. Still, thanks for cooking! read more

Banging awesome food. Love it. Best Szechuan around. We're 2 hours away and every time we are in town we get food here and it never disappoints. read more

Best Szechuan place in the city! The restaurant is beautiful on the inside, and the food is bomb! Some favorites of mine are the Ma Po Tofu and Chongqing style chicken. read more

Very tasty! The spicy is very authentic sichuan flavor! The take out package is also very neat.

I used to like their food. None of the food I bought recently tastes as good as before. Maybe it's a different chef.

The only restaurant I have ordered from with a restaurant delivery service that did not disappoint. The food was delivered hot, fresh and delicious. I will be ordering regularly from here, probably the Dan Dan noodles every time till I get tired of them. So good. read more

The food tastes so flavorful and it is definitely spicy, I am going back again for a second time to try something new. Would highly reccomend read more

One of the best restaurants in town. Location isn't the best as it makes it seem like it won't be good, but don't judge by the location this place is delicious! Menu is great lots of options to choose from and the food is amazing. It's also nice to park in the parking lot instead of trying to find street parking on Park Ave that's a major bonus. Friendly staff, clean place. This will become a regular spot for us. read more

The chongching style chicken is to die for. Seriously, if you even remotely like spicy food, get it. The flavors are second to none.

This is probably one of if not the best Chinese restaurant I have ever eaten in. It is not like going to other Chinese style places. There are no crispy noodles with 'duck' sauce or mustard. No free tea. Just the best decor and food available. I saw one complaint about this place that the servers did not speak English that well. If that bother you go eat at McDonald's. The place is small and you sit very close to the other diners. The decor is well thought out without being too much. The menu is diverse, something for the adventurous and something for those that like simple. I have eaten just about everything there is in Chinese food but when I saw 'dry pot' which is basically a mini wok with a burner underneath I nearly lost it. You can add spice to make the food hotter. But any visitor need to remember that this is 'chinese spicy'. It won't melt your lips like hot buffalo wings but it is more subtle. You eat , go wow this is delish and think oh this isn't spicy. Then it sneaks up on you and you go wow I think its raining, but in reality it is just the sweat rolling down your forehead. A good sweat one that makes you go I should stop, but the food is so gloreous that you cant. When you go remember this is not take out Chinese, not American Chinese, but actual Chinese food served by people who are well... Chinese. read more

Authentic Sichuan cuisine. After staying in China for nearly a decade, we were hooked to the wholesome flavorsome Sichuan (Szechuan) cuisine.... We are beyond delighted and ecstatic to discover this gem of a restaurant in our neighborhood in ROC!! read more

Szechuan Garden has become one of my favorite go-to restaurants in Rochester. The decor is quite intricate and amazing despite what the outside may look like. It's not usually so crowded but you are unlikely to be eating alone. Its Szechuan food so expect some spice and the occasional tingling peppercorn taste. I always get the Dan Dan Noodles and highly recommend it. Its listed as a cold dish and usually is elsewhere but it has always been served warm here and I don't mind that at all. I also really love the dry pot style dishes in chicken or pork and the cumin lamb. All of these are amazing. The garlic sauce dishes were actually a bit too sweet for my taste though. The one time I tried ordering a typical chinese dish - Kung Pao Chicken - I felt it tasted the same as the garlic sauce dish - a little too sweet. I concluded that this is not the place to get your typical Chinese dishes, especially not in place of the Szechusn dishes which are amazing. Perhaps because I've gotten used to it but I felt the spice level on my last 2 visits was very tolerable. Pro Tip: If you find the food too spicy - def try the coconut drink! read more

18 bucks a serving?!? For takeaway!?!...grl plz. It's just alright, for 10 bucks it would get a good review. ‍

Cold food. Some good flavors. Toughest beef on the planet. Yelp wants more words to post this. Don't eat here.

I ordered food through Grubhub and was amazed with the food, I'm so happy I found this place because I live nearby.

Checked this place out on a Saturday night after scouring the reviews for local Szechuan. We got there around 5:45 pm and managed to beat the crowd. It was packed by the time we left around 6:30. Overall good service, immersive Chinese decor, and tasty food, but would strongly recommend taking a Prilosec beforehand if you want to avoid heartburn! read more

Tried it out for take out. Was really happy with the experience and the food. I hope this little space makes it... looking forward to dining in next! read more

Lovely restaurant in the Park Ave neighborhood. I'll admit that I stick to ordering the traditional Chinese favorites, as Szechuan dishes are too spicy for me. Good food, friendly staff, lovely decor. read more

Love it here! Not only is the food great and the staff friendly, the the ambiance is gorgeous! I had dinner with five friends in one of their booths and it felt like we had a private table. And each booth had a phone charger! Very beautiful space. read more

Excellent. We had a great meal last night at Szechuan Opera. Our favorites were the Mei Fun, chicken lettuce wraps, General Tsos. Very affordable, as well. Will definitely be back! read more

Just ate at Szechuan Opera for the first time! The ambiance is perfect! Open, comfortable and really well designed interior. The food was delicious. Our server, Raymond was gracious and attentive- made for a lovely dining experience. Dan dann noodles are an awesome starter. We will definitely be back! read more

At last! Authentic Chinese food! We lived in Sichuan Province (Nanchong city) for 2 years, and were delighted to experience some of our old spicy favorites. Hui Guo Ruo (Twice Cooked Pork) was our favorite, I think, but we also especially enjoyed the "Ants Climbing the Hill" (Ma Yi Shang Shu) - described in menu as "Vermacelli with pork and bok choi" (although there's no bok choi and isn't supposed to be in this traditional sichuan dish), Gan Bian Si Ji Dou (Dry Fried Green Beans), Ma Po Do Fu (Spicy Lady Tofu), and the Suan Cai Feng Si Tang (Sour Vegetable, pork, noodle soup). The only thing a bit disappointing was the Guo Bao Rou (described in menu as "sizzling" pork -- this dish is supposed to be very hot pork & veggies poured over rice cakes at the table -- and it all sizzles), but it was all brought out on one plate -- no sizzling, and the tomato sauce was uninspired and a bit too sweet. However, Guo Bao Rou is more of a northern dish than Sichuan, so we will forgive, as the specialty is Sichuan. Delightfully decorated and pleasant staff -- this has already become a family favorite! read more
