What People Are Saying About Szechuan Restaurant

The Scene – At first, the decor may seem formulaic even generic, but a quiet elegance somehow inhabits this restaurant's dining room. Bits of trivia keep your mind alert while pictures from different countries add an international twist to each brightly colored matching table. – – The Food – Chinese food can sometimes be overly oily, but Szechuan's offerings are notably grease-free. General Tso's Chicken is deliciously crunchy and as exactly as spicy as you order it. Paul's Choice, a concoction of snow peas, broccoli and mushrooms with chicken, pork, beef or seafood…

Not authentic.

by RealAsianGuy

The food is more expensive than usual Chinese places and NOT authentic at all. I guess they don't have much Asian supply in baltimore? Then again I lived in LA for a long time so I know what real Asian food should taste like. I had the chow mein and it was filled with celery and gravy. The beef was hard, there was NO noodles. It had a few noodle chips (the stuff you use in salad). Celery? Since when did people use celery on chow mein. The place is more Americanize than Asian.

  • Pros: nothing
  • Cons: parking is a pain

Friendly and tasty

by 2luckyirish

I have been going to this restaurant for years. The food is prepared very quickly, the service is prompt and unfailingly freindly and the food is very good. I would recommend both the twice cooked chicken and the moo shoo pork. Also, the cooks will prepare the food exactly as spicy as you want it. For the price the food is great, the servings are large and more then worth the price.

  • Pros: inexpensive, quick service
  • Cons: cliche atmosphere
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Chinatown comes to Federal Hill

by JBear98

What a great little place, it delivers too! Huge chunks of chicken breast in a spicy General Tso's, perfect cold sesame noodles, and very friendly service!

  • Pros: inexpensive, great food, polite service

The Details on Szechuan Restaurant

Some Like It Hot:

Don't take spice levels lightly. Unless you specify how hot you like it, you might get too much oomph or too little sizzle.

Parking:

Street parking, which is your main option here, isn't as bad in Federal Hill as it can be in Fells Point or Downtown. A block or two is probably the farthest you'll have to wander.
