LAO SZE CHUAN MILFORD

A hidden gem! The prices are fair, the portions are large and the food is authentic, fresh, and flavorful. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered and we can’t wait to go back. I was PLEASANTLY surprised by the Chinese Cucumber Pickled in Vinegar because I don’t not like cucumbers, but it was on the table so I tried it and WOW! You have to get it with a side of chili oil (trust me). It was so good , I got an order to go.

I needed my authentic Chinese fix, and this Lao Sze Chuan was a delightful find. The appetizer Szechuan dumplings in red chili sauce were incredibly tasty; I can eat 2 orders myself. The chili sauce was so good it enhances pretty much anything you dip into it. The West Lake beef soup is an all-time favorite of mine, as usual: light, comforting, and delicious. BF enjoyed the cumin lamb, and I had the steamed striped bass… wow! It was so good I can’t find words to describe it. Bok choy with garlic stir-fry was a good addition for a healthy meal. I’d be here weekly if it weren’t a 50-minute drive. City of Danbury doesn’t have much to offer when it comes to great authentic Chinese food. Sadly, I’d have to drive farther to satisfy my palate. Service was fast, friendly, and the restaurant has

I got the lunch special recently. This is what it looked like after I took a bite; it was mostly rice. The egg roll was also very bland. I've never had egg rolls that tasted bad. I would definitely not recommend their lunch special.

It was about 15 minutes before someone came to take our order. It was a busy night, so that's understandable. The menu is a novel, so the extra time to browse wasn't harmful. It wasn't even completely offensive when 1 order arrived to the table 10 minutes before mine. The issue came about when I realized I did not like what I had ordered, and so I barely touched it. I'm not picky by any means but I'm sure this has happened before given they're a vendor of tongues, frogs and intestines. A server arrived roughly 25 minutes after setting my food down to check on things (we're roughly an hour in now), and after hearing my issue offered me a selection of something else on the menu but insisted that I pay for a dish that I did not like and barely had 2 bites of. Tldr; the food is good enough, th

10/10 This is the best traditional Szechuan Chinese restaurant in CT! Great to see it’s still top notch. The food is incredible, as is the service and atmosphere. They’re very friendly and kind. I usually don’t get to try spicy Szechuan dishes because of my peanut allergy but they took good care of me! This is the first time we’ve tried their beef hotpot and it was divine! 🤤 We ate so much but felt very ‘clean/healthy-full’ as nothing was heavy and everything was so fresh. Also the portions are big. Can’t wait to go back. 😋 (What we ordered in the picture captions)
