Lunch at Lao Sze Chuan

Mar 2020 • none

We tried the lunch menu which is supposed to have a smaller portion size than the dinner menu. Even so we still had to take some food home. The menu had a wide selection of choices. Many of the selections were grouped by how hot they were. The service was very prompt and the food was prepared the way we wanted. We will be back to try other selections.

Great improvement

Oct 2023 • couples

No Dim Sum now but run well with Elizabeth as manager. They can cook to your taste, No more smoothies. Quality service now and quality food and ambiance. Lots of room to hold parties that are partitioned.

Carry Out

Aug 2019 • business

We did carry out from here for an office luncheon recently. Everything was excellent and they didn’t skimp on the meat. I hope they continue with the same quality going forward.

would give it 0 stars if I could

Jul 2019 • family

first of all, any review that says it was "delicious" was probably written by a clueless tourist that doesnt know how Chinese food is supposed to taste. we ordered these frog legs for $24 and it was a complete ripoff. Most of the dish was just garlic cloves and bok choy and there were just a small amount of frog legs. they discounted us and we only had to pay 15 dollars. I have a lot more complaints, like we had to wait a long time for our food, and they got part of our order wrong too. overall, don't go there, it is a waste of your money. they also gave us a broken takeout box.

Strike Two You Are Out —- Just Don’t Go

Jun 2018 • family

We have been here twice but plan to never go again. The first time we went I enjoyed the food but my wife got violently ill afterwards. We didn’t go back for a year. We thought we would try again because my son and I did not get I’ll. The tonight came. We decided to give it another try. The place was not busy at 6:30 on a Saturday night. Only about five tables were full. There were three of us but only two menus were given to us. The waiter cam right away with water. Then nothing. We waited another 20 minutes unacknowledged by anyone. We finally decided to just leave. On our way out an employee cheerfully said goodbye on our way out. No apology. No asking why we were leaving. Awful. We will never return and I would recommend that you stay away too.

Good comfort food

Feb 2018 • solo

Very nice comfort Chinese food at this restaurant. Good variety of noodle dishes and other standard fare at a Chinese restaurant. They also have a traditional Chinese menu. The Szechuan beef noodles are very good and numbingly spicy.

Hot & Spicy Food

Jun 2017 • family

Before coming here make sure you know what you are looking for. Szechuan House has spicy food. If you are looking for a more bland Chinese food this isn't the place for you. I like the spicy, hot taste and really enjoyed the meal. My wife prefers less spicy food and was less enthused. I have to rate the Szechuan House on what they serve and found both the shrimp with lobster sauce and the Kung Bao Scallops very enjoyable. Large portions, clean, and good service. Next time we come we will ask for a dish made not as hot for my wife.

Surprisingly flavorful

Dec 2016 • family

The observation that food in US Chinese restaurants taste blander than Chinese restaurants in Asia is challenged by this restaurant in the middle of the Chicago suburbs. Almost all of the dishes we ordered - fried rice, steamed fish with leeks, a tofu dish, were flavorful and has kick (since it's Szechuan style) - almost as if you were in Asia. Service is fast and they know how to handle big groups. Plus, they were open during Christmas Day!

Another decent Chinese restaurant

Dec 2016 • family

Szechuan house is definitely a good options for folks keen on spicy Chinese food. Hot Pot is a real cool USP that they have. I loved the hot and sour soup and the fish dishes. Chinese run restaurant are conservative when it comes to selling themselves. Like Mapo this is another great product.

they got hot pot

Dec 2016 • couples

although we haven't tried it yet, we've been looking for a place with an authentic hot pot in the area and this might be it. We just stopped in for lunch specials which were generous portions. Nice dishes, skilled cooking, quick service. Not the real nitty-gritty of Mapo or the over the top style of Minghin but solid real Chinese food. We'll be back.

Check Out the Buffet

Great food at a reasonable price. Check out their lunch buffet. They have 8-10 entrees to choose from.

Not that bad but may be it's new management

Nov 2016 • couples

I went there when it first opened. They did not interact very much . Now it seems like whole new staff. They interacted with us and asked us questions about the food and our nationality, since they spoke to us in Mandarin. The food was good but I need to keep trying different dishes. We had hot pot there and it was good. Tried the shrimp with scrambled eggs. It was ok. They do have some dim sum side dishes but not hesitate another place not too far away that had a large selection. Their specialty is Szechuan hence its name. So if want spicy then this is your place.

Not a fast-food place

Sept 2016 • couples

From the outside (and it doesn't look bad, just small), I was expecting this to be a fast-food Chinese place, with a cafeteria style setup. I couldn't have been more wrong. It's a very nicely decorated sit-down restaurant. We went for lunch and you get an entree, drink, and egg roll for $7.50. I had the chicken & broccoli. Again my expectations were off - I wasn't expecting such a huge meal. I could barely finish it all. Everything was very tasty, and the service was good.
