    It's a buffet, so I suppose you need to set your expectations. We love Asian cuisine and sushi, but would normally go to a sit down restaurant. Our lunch plans changed, so we ended up coming here for a quick lunch. The place is big inside, with two separate large rooms. The buffet is set up in the first room, with seating, and then there is an entirely separate room that is just for seating. It was busy when we arrived around 12:30 on a Friday. Lots of groups of people. We got seated right away. The buffet is large with lots of choices: fruits, hot entrees, baked fish, sushi, etc. Don't like any of those Asian choices? They even had pizza and garlic bread available. I tried many of the different items, and honestly, I was not impressed with any of them. Most of the fried items had too much breading. The fish was overcooked and bland. The sushi was mostly rice, with very little raw fish (but they had other veggie or cooked rolls). The cream cheese wontons were not bad, and some of the desserts were okay. I don't mind a buffet, but I was sincerely disappointed that most of the items were not that good. The lunch price is very reasonable, and I suppose, like the saying goes, "you get what you pay for." The service was very good, and our drinks and dirty plates were well attended to. Not a place that I'm likely to return to.

    Literally the same as Lovers Lane Sushi and buffet, only the name has changed. Still plenty of hot food options as well as dessert and sushi. We recently stopped in on a Friday night, a little earlier than usual for dinner. It wasn't too busy yet and the staff were busy refilling the hot food stations with fresh items from the kitchen. Our waitress was on top of things with cleaning the empty plates and refilling drinks. For a buffet, they are one of the better establishments around. If you come at a busier time the food is more fresh, obviously. So depending on the hour your experience may be hit or miss. As was before, there's plenty of seating between the two dining areas. Even on really busy nights in the past, we've only waited 25 minutes at most. The turnover of tables is pretty quick.

    The food is pretty average. But this is a fun spot where you can gather with a large group!

Given that, I'm surprised to find a restaurant that's relatively new AND their primary purpose is serving a buffet. I stopped in early one Monday evening for dinner. The buffet has all of the standard items you'd expect to find on it including broccoli and beef, general tso's chicken, lo mein, egg rolls, and fried rice. Unfortunately, nothing I tried was particularly great. I've had better versions of all of it elsewhere, especially the egg rolls that tasted like they were out of a grocery store freezer section. The spring rolls were slightly better because of the crunchy wrapper, but still had mushy filling inside. The exterior looks like it used to be an Applebee's. The inside looks nice and was at least partially remodeled. The red glow of the heat lamps makes it hard to gauge what the food looks like until it's on your plate and then it's too late to pass on it. One of the people working there came over to me to talk about and apologized for another customer that smelled like pot because they kept going outside to smoke while dining. Ask the person to leave or call the cops; definitely don't gossip about them to other customers.

There are still lots of…read morepictures from their old location on Layton, but as of April 2025, they are inside Rayan Market & Restaurant, a Middle Eastern market (see pictures). It is a small family owned business, and mother cooks all the food. It's only been a month since they moved here from Layton, so they don't have a sign yet, but just go in to the Rayan super market, and navigate yourself to the back of the building. They do have a table off to the side inside the market if you're in a pinch and need to eat there, but I'd recommend taking the food to go. The family is friendly, and if you aren't too familiar with Mediterranean food, they will help you navigate their menu items. They have 2 types of rice. One is a smoked rice (first time I tried it, and it was good!), and the other one is cinnamon. I didn't care for the latter, but the smoked rice was delicious. I was only going to try a bite or two, but I ended up kicking myself off of keto and ate a whole bowl. Chicken special - with rice and salad Salad was a small portion of very fresh lettuce, tomato and cucumber in light oil dressing. Chicken was a bit dry for my taste. They did have the chicken in a warmer plate (like the buffet style) and it must have been sitting there a while. The flavors were good, but the dryness was disappointing. The menu says "half chicken", but we got 2 pieces of thigh+drum. In a way that's good, cuz any breast meat would have been so much more dry. Lamb special - with rice and salad We ordered the cinnamon rice for this dish and the smoked one for the chicken dish. Like I said, the smoked rice was better for my palate. The lamb was delicious. It was falling off the bones, but it wasn't dry. We got 3 large chunks of lamb with bone and one little piece boneless. In both plates, our server piled the rice so high! I hope they don't go out of business giving so much rice! But I'm not complaining. Overall, the meal was delicious and I would definitely go again. I'd love to try some of their appetizers and other meat items.

I had ordered a cup of Tom Kah and was delivered and charged for a bowl of soup, which was a big price difference. That was a tad annoying just because we had nearly four different people approach our table to check on us to start. The timing of our dishes was off as well. I received my Pud See Yew and it was nearly 10 minutes until the Pud Thai came out and when it did the food had a horrendous burnt taste. We did send it back and they gladly corrected it, but at the same time something seemed off with communication. Our servers were nice, but they filled our waters like 30 times - every time we took a drink it seemed. Although very attentive, felt a bit overdoing it and didn't allow us to chat consistently without interruption of asking how is everything when we didn't really have food yet. I would come back because the food was so good.

We used Uber and paid for the fees, but it's astrocious. Pud kee mow (beef) Very nice, though not great. On the search for the best Pud keeper mow in town, and this isn't it. It needs a tad more heat and a little less sugar. Tom yum goong Bowl of hot and sour shrimp soup - tasted great, but wish there were more shrimp than mushrooms. It was more tom yum mushroom than "goong". Lemongrass sour and the little kick was perfect. Pud sweet basil leaves (beef) Ok, I know the word "sweet" goes in this dish, but it is sweeeeet. And it has way more peppers and onions than basil. It would have been a much better dish with basil and less sauce. Overall, I won't order delivery from them again. I might try revisiting in person sometime. No promises.

    I should have eaten at Sze Chuan ages ago. I was told it was amazing. I even lived very near to it…read morein the past. It's been on my list, but I didn't go. That was an error. The restaurant is in a tucked away strip mall and is modest in size and decor. The strip mall also contains hidden treasures like a Chinese bakery/BBQ and an Asian store. We went early on a Saturday evening with friends. The service was excellent, although with some staff there were language hurdles. No matter - everyone made it work and we were left with an abundance of amazing food at a reasonable price. Wine and beers are served, as well as smoothies and other non-alcoholic drinks. BF ordered crab rangoon as a starter, which was good. He liked it more than I did, but it was nice and crispy. I just didn't think it compared to other dishes. My vegetable egg roll was very good as well, but nothing terribly unique. He went bold on the entree and ordered the pork intestine and blood cake dish. He really enjoyed it and said it was quite spicy. The portions are generous and he did bring a lot home. I ordered the homestyle tofu, which normally has pork. I got it without to make it vegetarian friendly. The textures were very good and the sauce was intensely flavorful, but mild. I also ordered a supplementary dish of braised mushrooms and Shanghai greens. Everyone at the table enjoyed this dish, particularly the greens, which are a variety of bok choy, called pac choy. The mushrooms were wonderful, with the texture of wood ears. I also had plenty of leftovers to eat the next day. Our friends ordered the Szechuan spicy pork dumplings and they got rave reviews. My cousin did say they were not overly spicy. She went on to order the sizzling black pepper beef, which she said was good, but not nearly as unique or deeply flavored as the other dishes. Her husband ordered the pork intestine with clear noodles, which he enjoyed but said was extremely spicy. He did leave a lot of sauce behind since it was so hot. He also had the ox tendon and maw in spicy sauce, which came with chopped peanuts on top. He seemed really pleased with that dish. We agreed that we would happily go back to explore the menu more. Everything was excellent and I thought the prices were generally quite reasonable, especially for the quantity of food. I do wish the menu had more descriptive text, so I could familiarize myself with the dishes. The choices are many and overwhelming and the menu is huge. I'd also love to see a symbol for vegetarian options since it's very hard to know otherwise and many of the vegetable dishes included pork or other meat. As we left the restaurant was getting increasingly busy with people waiting by the door for seats. This is a popular place for good reason.

    Sze Chuan is still one of my top 3 favorite Chinese restaurants in the Milwaukee area. It seems…read morethey are always busy, but the staff also does a good job getting guests seated, managing the wait list, getting food served and tables turned without rushing the guests. The Spicy Pork Dumplings have become my go-to appetizer, and the fried spring rolls are also very good. On a most recent visit, we ordered hot pot. Our server brought us the sheet to make our selections. You can choose from mild broth, spicy broth, or half tray of each. The spicy is pretty hot with lots of red chili peppers soaking in it, so I scooped out the chili peppers to keep rhe flavor but lessen the impact on my palate. For 2 guests, I recommend choosing 3 items from the list, maybe 2 protein and one veggie or 2 veggie and one protein to start. You can order more if you finish and need more. This is in addition to the two appetizers you will choose, which is included with rhe hot pot dinner. It's a great value! Sze Chuan remains on my short list of go-to's for Chinese dining, and I look forward to my next visit, whenever that may be.
