“A great place with authentic Chinese and Sichuan cuisine! If you like spicy food, be sure to try their signature chicken with chili (Szechuan Spicy Chicken) — the portion is huge, and the taste is simply incredible. The meat is very tender, and the spices are perfectly matched. We also had Peking duck and dim sum, everything was brought hot and fresh. The interior of the establishment is pleasant, the service is quite fast and polite, despite the large number of people in the hall. The prices fully justify the quality of the food and the portion size. I definitely recommend you to visit one of the best authentic Asian cuisine establishments in the area!”
“Great food here, hot and fresh. Come see Eric the manager.”
“I ordered the chicken fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, orange chicken, and vegetables—and every single dish was packed with flavor, fresh, and perfectly cooked. The chicken was tender, the sauces were rich without being overwhelming, and the fried rice was spot-on. Everything tasted like it was made with care. I would recommend this place to absolutely everyone looking for delicious, quality Chinese food. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“A nice experience overall. Food is good especially those Chinese food that’s rare to find in usual American restaurants such as the duck, and it’s cooked pretty good.”
“和Highland Park 的老四川一樣，真美味的料理，實在喜歡。因為距離住家比較近，有機會會再來。 而不同的是：熱茶不是太熱，不是免費，又無法自己隨時酌茶，少了一點樂趣。 前菜的免費泡菜，嚐起來也有一點差異，有一點可惜。😅 這次點了樟茶鴨，似乎過度酥炸了，顯得有點乾柴，但是蒙古牛肉真好吃下飯，我竟然吃一大碗的白飯。😅😅”
“Lao Sze Chuan dishes are always fresh and flavorful. There is so much to choose from on the menu but everything has always been good.”
“菜品质量下降的厉害，一盘京酱肉丝里面40%是葱，而且葱没有洗，切得大大小小，还可以看到烂的。和服务员沟通后重新做了一盘。烂葱是没有了但是仍然是很多的葱口味一般的肉丝。”
“Authentic Asian food. No shortcuts. Little pricey but worth it. Will return soon..”
