Customer Reviews
This has officially become a new favorite in my never ending hunt for great food. If you’re the type who orders “mild” everywhere, it’s time to step out of your comfort zone and try Lao Szechuan. This is real Chinese food, not the Americanized, fortune cookie on the side nonsense. The flavors are unreal. Yes, it’s spicy, but it’s the good kind of spicy, more flavor, less “why am I sweating?” Jason, our server, was fantastic. That man deserves a raise immediately. Attentive, quick, and funny enough to make the experience even better without overdoing it. Elite service. Check the video to see what we ordered, because everything slapped. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Chinese food that doesn’t pull its punches. The atmosphere was boujee, clean, and no exagge
It was Chinese New Year and our waiter was working his first night. So he was slightly confused. But he did all right. The soup dumplings were to die for!
The establishment is easy to locate and there is plenty of parking around the area. The restaurant is big and well decorated, and the environment was great. The service was were the experience went downhill. Our server was really friendly, nice, and helpful, but it was really slow. He told us that they had a guest party and that service was slow, but it was 8pm (not rush hour) and the restaurant didn’t seem that busy. It took a good 30-40 minutes to get our appetizer which were only soup dumplings. Our main entrees came quick after ordering a good 15-20 minutes I would say. When it comes to the food, it was really good 10/10. Overall, the slow service it’s what killed the experience, I would come back in another day to give it another shot, but it needs to be fixed.
Lao Szechuan is truly the pinnacle of culinary excellence when it comes to roast duck! The flavors are simply divine, making it feel worthy of a Michelin-starred dining experience. Additionally, the ambiance is enhanced by the vibrant atmosphere of karaoke in the luxurious VIP rooms, where laughter and music create unforgettable memories. Every visit is a delightful feast for the senses!
The place is modern and spacious, with a clean, stylish feel. The food was flavorful and came in decent portions for the price, which was nice. If you’re not great with spicy food, even the 2-pepper level packs a punch. We definitely went through a lot of water! Service was friendly but a bit laid-back, so be ready to wait a little.
