Szechuan Triple
Toya G.

Beware. Don't spend your $ here - it's not worth it. This was truly a bad meal and a waste of $$. I spent over $30+ for basically the worst meal I've had in a long time. I wish I could give it 0 stars! I ordered Szechuan Triple which was supposed to have veggies, chicken, shrimp & beef. I was disgusted to see not only a container full of onions, but also all of the meat was coated or breaded with something. There was hardly any meat at all - onions & a few pieces of super soft/mushy green peppers. The little beef included was rubbery- basically cooked fat (so gross). There were only two shrimp in the container and a few pieces of chicken - all of which tasted like it had been previously prepared and reheated in a microwave. I spent over 15 minutes looking through the container to extract any meat included - not much at all (see pic). Just horrible! The crab cheese wontons (see pic) were horrendous w/little balls of congealed stuff in it - trash. They were rubbery and the interior was dried & clumpy. How old were these things? It also tasted like it had been reheated in a microwave. I also ordered Orange Chicken & hubby couldn't describe how bad it tasted (trashed). The white rice was also bad. This was the worst ever! Let's just say the trash can is the proper place for this meal. The owners & chefs should be ashamed of what they sold me. Disgusting and disappointed.

Scum in glass
Gabrielle C.

The woman who served us is rude. She told my daughter she can't have any more orange sauce until she finished the rest of what was there. Mind you it was only 1 dip worth. Then she gave my daughter a water filled with scum and dirt. Not just a little but it was a lot.! The man who made the sushi did not wash his hands. I'm thoroughly disgusted!!!! I showed the man who works here. He said, " Ohhh well dat how it comes out of our water". Dat how it comes..... I said well you shouldn't be serving that!!!!! He said, " Ohhh do you want another one".... Why would I want another one????? Anytime a back area is blocked off with stuff in the window so you can't see the cooking be worried........

Vegetable fried rice .. Definitely the best menu item I have tried.
Tracy S.

This place can be hit or miss. I really wish that it was more consistently tasty and I would give it a better ranking. They have excellent vegetable fried rice but that is the only item that is consistent. Their tofu dishes tend to vary sometimes great and other times they are not edible. On my most recent order, I got the general tso's tofu. It had good flavor but a lot of the dish was limped together and had to be thrown out. I would suggest dining in or checking out your food before you leave the establishment.

Maryland Sea King Roll and Spicy Tuna Roll
Marjorie M.

I am so glad that I found my go-to neighborhood Chinese place! I've ordered here several times and each time the food is consistently delicious. Also, ordering for carry out is super fast. I am always impressed at how quickly they bring out my to go bag. I've had the chicken and broccoli and the General Tso's chicken. I haven't tried the sushi yet, but will update my review once I have. One thing to note is when you order the Dinner Combo, it clearly states you get 1 of each (in addition to soup) - egg roll, shrimp toast and crab wonton. If you ask for all crab wontons, for example, you get just 3 wontons. Not a big deal, but its good to know. :)

Lao Sze Chuan was an enjoyable dining experience, and I'll definitely be back to try more of the…read moremenu. We visited on a Tuesday, and since it wasn't very busy, the service was attentive and our food came out quickly. We took advantage of one of their daily specials. the Cumin Beef Stir-Fry was half off ($13). It ended up being my favorite dish. The beef was tender and perfectly seasoned. The Tibetan Diced Lamb also had great flavor with a nice balance of spices. The Sichuan Popcorn Chicken, however, wasn't what I expected. It wasn't the traditional Sichuan-style chicken I was hoping for and leaned more on the sweet side, which personally wasn't my favorite. The Flaming Roasted Lamb Leg had a delicious smoky flavor and came with a fun tableside presentation where it was set on fire. That said, the portion was on the smaller side for the price, and I was a little surprised to find what looked like French fries underneath the lamb. The restaurant has plenty of seating, and street parking was easy to find. They don't have a liquor license yet, so it's currently BYOB. There's a liquor store that's a three minute walk away from the restaurant. They also offer tea for $5 with free refills and soda for $2.50 with free refills. I also appreciated that they offer select dishes at half price on certain days of the week, so it's worth checking their specials before you visit. Overall, the food was flavorful, the atmosphere was comfortable, and the daily specials make this a great value. While not every dish was a hit for me, the cumin beef and Tibetan lamb were excellent.

I ordered delivery from Lao Sze Chuan a few months ago, but finally visited in person this past…read moreSaturday and had a very good meal. Lao Sze Chuan is a new-ish (open since January 2025) Sichuan restaurant that took over the space Busboys and Poets used to occupy. It's a huge space, but they did a great job renovating it, and it feels light and bright and modern - very comfortable. It's huge though - so I hope people know it's there and are ordering takeout/delivery or stopping by a for a meal in person! The service was very friendly and very fast, so it's a great spot for an in-person meal, too! Their menu is as large as the restaurant space, so there's something for everyone! They definitely have a lot of Sichuan dishes, but if you're not up for Sichuan, they have some other dishes that might fit the bill: dim sum (plenty of dumplings and buns), lo mein, fried rice, Peking duck, basil eggplant, Mongolian beef, and more... On Saturday at the restaurant, my husband and I shared a pot of white tea and a few dishes: crystal shrimp dumplings; pork soup dumplings; spicy tofu skin strips (shredded tofu skin tossed with Sichuan-style chili oil, peppercorns, and spices for a bold, numbing and spicy flavor); spicy and sour fish fillets (tender fish fillets simmered in a flavorful broth with pickled mustard greens, garlic, and Sichuan spices); a side of white rice for the fish; and red bean paste pumpkin cakes for dessert. When we ordered delivery in February, we shared: vegetable steamed dumplings; Yu-Shiang Eggplant Roll (tender eggplant braised and rolled in a traditional Sichuan Yu-Shiang sauce, offering a perfect balance of sweet, sour, savory, and spicy notes); crispy salty chicken (bite-sized chicken pieces deep-fried and seasoned with basil); salt & pepper pork chops (crispy fried pork chops tossed with onions and jalapeño peppers for a bold and savory flavor); and a side of white rice). I've enjoyed everything we've eaten (although I wouldn't recommend the crispy dishes for delivery for obvious reasons - I can't resist salt & pepper pork chops sometimes even though I know it doesn't travel the best), and I love how broad the menu is. I can't wait to return to try more of their dishes!

The menus, the decor, the venue and high ceilings, the private rooms. Their menu had half to full page detailed photos and descriptions of almost every dish. And they had a large menu to accommodate to whatever you are craving. Their food was so good. Everything was seasoned just right to my liking. The spice levels for the sichuan pepper-centric dishes were the star but never overpowering or too spicy. And surprisingly, the pricing for each of the dishes were so low compared to the experience I was getting. Like I kept thinking how can this product be this good but this cheap?

I ordered combo lo mein, pork soup dumplings, combo fried rice, and duck spring rolls. Everything was packed well and nice and hot upon arrival. Everything was very delicious. All of the items had good flavor and the portion sizes for the lo mein and rice were good. I'd like to see maybe four soup dumplings for the price, but definitely enjoyed them as well as the spring rolls. Overall, I very much enjoyed the food, as did my bf, and will make a point to go there in person very soon to try more menu items!

We arrived for Friday $35 endless dim sum brunch, and the Host did not know who we were even though I had spoken with him today before, and I remembered his voice. So not a good start. We were sat upstairs, and we sat there for probably 20 minutes easy before we were even offered a beverage. It was when they first opened, but I would expect you to have staff ready. The hits just kept coming... The ambience downstairs was beautiful, but the ambience where we were sat was just lifeless. It didn't have the same punch. After we ordered some drinks, we decided on what we wanted from the menu. Some things were hit or miss, once they arrived to the table. The soup dumplings were just OK, but I guess I have really high expectations for that coming from NYC. The chicken lo mein wasn't bad per se, the veggie dumplings were delicious, the pork buns were well sauced. Some things I didn't like included the Szechuan beef, it lacked depth, and it was just too hot for my friends to eat. They really loved the fried rice and the sesame red bean balls. The scallion pancake everyone raved about was mid at best. I loved the curry sauce it came with, but it just was a mess to eat. The braised pork belly rolls were lovely, as was the cucumber salad, and the spring rolls. The Mongolian beef and the walnut dumplings were OK but nothing to write about beyond that they were basically flavorless. The cocktails were so so, but nothing that screamed for me to order another. The one highlight I will say is that they did come back to ask as if we wanted anything else multiple times. So I'm glad that they followed up on whether we want more food because some places just leave you be once they drop off. Maybe I'd give them another chance, but the answer is probably no... who knows. It was just generic, and imagining paying the prices that they had for not a $35 dim sum brunch per person, seemed egregious to me for such utterly mediocre food. So I guess I'm glad I came out on a Friday morning.
